Geek Chic

Just because I spend a lot of time surrounded by books doesn’t mean that I can’t be fabulous at the same time. On the contrary, being nerdy can be really cute!

pearls are a librarian's best friend:
simple, classic, and elegant

pencil skirts are a wardrobe staple, and are super easy to style

a fancy top is paired perfectly with a sateen pencil skirt

pumps are always a good bet for classic style

retro Victorian and Oxford-style heels are totally hot right now

a fancy belt is more than enough to accessorize this outfit

polka dotted stockings spice up this classic sweater and fluted skirt ensemble

swapping glasses just for fun :)

Some people who saw the pictures from this photoshoot say that we all looked too formal for our age, but I beg to differ. I personally enjoy dressing up like a professional, since it makes me feel like a grownup, and I figure it’s good practice for when I become a librarian. What do you all think? So we like playing adults for a day, or are we all determined to never grow up?

Eyes on the Prize

I already have an adorable pair of glasses, but I can’t say that I would mind another pair. The ones I already have are a light silver with a brushed steel finish, and are from a nice, but not too expensive brand name. Being the diva that I am, I want a designer pair for my next purchase. Ironically the pair that I have my sights set on are actually rather simple, as they have a plain black acetate frame, with small logos at the temples. But of course, they’re from Chanel. The 3188s are simple classics, and that’s exactly why I want them so badly. They’re a nicely squared modern cut, yet the frames aren’t thick enough to be designated as part of the hipster trend (yuck). And they look exactly like the glasses that my future librarian self should be wearing!
