They make pumpkin spice everything else these days, so why not pumpkin spice pants? (Ann Taylor doesn’t actually call them that, but I think they should.) I wore this during last week’s spell of Indian Summer – it was too warm for sweaters and scarves, so I had to channel those autumnal November vibes some other way. Challenge accepted.

Fun fact: this t-shirt is actually a few inches longer than it looks here, but it looked sloppy (and unflattering) with these pants for work so I folded it under and held it in place with safety pins. OK, so it’s not that fun, but it is a fact.

Here’s something that really is fun: I will be performing in Cultivate, an emerging choreographers showcase this weekend. If you’re in the Indianapolis area and you’re a fan of modern dance (or just dance-curious), please come check it out. Tickets are available here. This show couldn’t come at a better time – there’s nothing like art and beauty to reassure us that good things are still possible. Not that anyone’s been questioning that recently but…you know…a reminder never hurts.

Yeeeeees, I know it’s November, but technically I did wear this dress in October. I mean Frocktober. Is the cutesy name getting old? Well it’s fine if it is, because this is the last you’ll hear it from me for a while. Until next Frocktober, of course. OK, for real, that was the last time.

We’re in that fun time of year (whatever cutesy name you want to give it) when I can wear tall boots with short dresses, sans tights. It makes the bottom 2 inches of my thighs feel very sassy. There are other outfits that might make the top 2 inches of my thighs feel sassy, but those are outfits I probably won’t be wearing unless I decide to make a very drastic change in my career path. I think I’ll stick with being a sassy-kneed lawyer for now.
