I’ve been trying to focus this month’s shopping on office-appropriate basics, and I’ve mostly done an awesome job. And when you do an awesome job at something, you want to celebrate. What’s a good way to celebrate? Having a drink with friends. What do you say when you toast your drinking friends? “Cheers!” And that’s what it says on this adorable sweatshirt that I bought this month even though it’s not an office-appropriate basic. BUT! (she says triumphantly) my office declared a casual Friday last week so I hid my sweatshirt under a blazer with my nicest jeans and voila! A trendy sweatshirt becomes something I totally bought on purpose to wear to work. Good job, me. I should celebrate. See what I did there?

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.
