So here’s something curious. You’d think that blogging would make me feel this pressure to always wear something new. In fact, I never used to repeat an outfit, until I started blogging. Granted, it still doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, and what you’re seeing here is an outfit I wore two weekends in a row.

Back when Sarah’s real life was just my life and not the name of your very favorite blog, I never repeated an outfit. Individual pieces, sure, but not a whole outfit. It didn’t matter that no one else would notice and that there was no documented photo evidence of everything I wore – I would know.

But now that I take pictures of the vast majority of outfits I wear, whenever I don’t get a chance to take pictures, in my mind it’s like I never wore it, so I might as well wear it again so I can take pictures. It’s hard to say which of my outlooks is more insane, so let’s call it a tie.

Also, yes. I know my sweatshirt says “aumtomne” and yes, I know it is currently winter. I was hoping my jacket would obscure the text and make me seem mysterious. It didn’t work. I’m really striking out today.

I’m so glad I decided to buy this skirt. I thought about it for a while because technically I already had a black faux leather mini skirt, and how many do you really need? In my case, it turns out I do only need one, I just need it to be this one. My other one (worn here and here) is great, but the [shorter] length and [sassier] shape made it much less versatile. This one is demure enough (or as demure as leather can be, which is exactly the level of demure I prefer) that I can wear it to work, as I did here.
