Part lookbook and archival evidence, part style diary, two information professionals (as well as a host of guest authors) seek personal style outside of the stereotypes.

I woke up this morning thinking “let’s do something bold!” In anticipation of a coming post on liberalism, fashion, imperfection and librarians, I submit the following ensemble:

  • maxi dress - mom’s from high school
  • blue camp shirt - jcrew
  • long green necklace glass beads - vintage
  • cognac boots - gini bini
  • wrangler jean jacket - thrift

The sixties weren’t the only age that librarians rocked a stylish look. What about the seventies?

Atop this maxi dress I added a blue button up. More profesh?  I’m not sure. After adding and removing several belts I decided to knot the shirt tales.

I feel suited to and comfortable in the maxi dress. After walking around iSchool all day I learned not everybody feels comfortable wearing a maxi dress, how do you feel about it?
