When I was in High School I worked at the PRPL..the Park Ridge Public Library.  In the scheme of after school jobs working at a library was probably one of the better jobs a teenager could have.  It was safe, quite, clean and didn’t require the handling of food.  I learned the dewy decimal system,  how to use an electronic card catelog and how to navigate bookshelves which proved useful in college.

I woke up this morning, put on this outfit and thought to myself,  I bet if I showed up at the library I could work the desk today.  All I’m missing is a pair of spectacles and a degree in Library Science.  I don’t know what it is about long cardigans and oxford blouses but they remind me of my days working at the Library, shelving book and hoping that I’m not on magazine page duty (which was up a flight of stairs).

Do you have clothes that make you feel like your something different that you are? 

Pants- Talbots
Blouse- Talbots
Sweater- Banana Republic
Shoes- Tory Burch
Watch-DKNY
Earrings- ?
Necklace- Antique hand-me-down

    Long cardis remind me of Mr Rodger’s neighborhood !
    I like this look and you do not look like a librarian and if you did there is nothing wrong with that.

    That sounds like a pretty fun job! I’m sure it was better than hostessing at a restaurant, which is a job I had in high school.
    I love this look though–that color looks great on you!
