It’s nearly midnight as I put this post together while watching election coverage, and it’s looking like I won’t be able to give a “woohoo” or a “kill me now” exclamation before I fall asleep. I know Sarah’s Real Life is a style blog, but in real life, Sarah supports Hillary Clinton with every bit of her shrunken heathen lesbian democrat lawyer witch heart. And I don’t care who knows it!

So to distract me from the stress of all these “too early to call” states, I’m just going to talk about this outfit. Last Saturday was a perfectly crisp and sunny fall day, so after fitting in a morning workout and a billing a few hours, I spent the second half of the day with my favorite fellow Nasty Woman walking around Mass Ave, doing a little shopping, and having a cocktail at Black Market. My drink was called “Satan’s Whiskers,” so you know it was good and strong. I might go back for another one once the election is called – hopefully it’s celebratory! If not…well, there’s nothing like good gin to make 4 years go by quickly.

Sarah Shoes

When: November 1 // Weather: upper 70s // Real life: work, then dinner on a patio (in November!)

After yesterday’s “meh” outfit, this one comes with two pieces of stellar news:

(1) It was almost 80 degrees on November 1st, so I wore this while eating dinner on a patio and was totally comfortable. This probably means we’ll have a snowstorm on April 1st just to even things out, but that’s Indiana for you.

(2) More importantly, these shoes had my name written all over them, so I made them mine. I love pairing super fancy things (like bejeweled tiger-stripe pumps) with more casual things (army jackets). In my own special world, that’s how business casual works.
