{Top: J Crew, Dress: Gap, Belt: NY & Co., Necklace, Express, Boots: Steve Madden}
This wasn't what I originally had in mind when I got dressed this morning. I'm sure you know how that goes, right? What starts as a clear idea in your head, but then somehow unintentionally morphs into something with a completely different feel. That's what happened with this outfit. Rather than pairing this dress with the intended crisp white button down {do those even exist?}, I changed direction and went with a more muted color palette. It feels a bit student-teacher to me. Maybe that's because jumpers remind me of school. Or maybe just my mother making me wear jumpers to school. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I feel a bit librarian chic. Someone just throw me some readers and I'll be good to go.
Love the colors! This outfit looks great. Librarian chic is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou are having an awesome hair day.

I think stylish librarians are like crisp white button-downs, meaning DNE. You look adorable in this! I got a similar colored tank from GAP the other day and was thinking of pairing it with black, but now you added brown to the mix and I'm totally smitten.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this look! I too think you look librarian chic :)
ReplyDeleteThe story of my life, that's exactly what happens every morning, and still I insist in planning outfit a night before! Think the white shirt would've looked fine, but I'm glad you went for this one, not student or teacher at all, chic yes!

Your outfit is a combination of the dress I wore yesterday and the shirt I'm wearing right now. I think it looks great, and not at all school-marmy!
ReplyDeleteI love how this look ended up, and your hair looks too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the look! I need more my librarian chic in my life!

ReplyDeleteI love the "librarian chic" look! This makes me totally want to layer a shirt under my LBD--I love how this turned out!

ReplyDeleteFor the record, I am in love with this outfit! But, I am a teacher so I guess that makes sense. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the way this outfit turned out! That belt is really great!:)
ReplyDeleteCute outfit and I love how neatly the books are organized... that's the nerd in me speaking. I love changing direction and having a totally different outfit then what I previously intended.

In love with that belt! It gives you such a va-va-voom shape!
ReplyDeleteVery cute hair! I'm so jealous of all that volume. I'm also a big fan of librarian chic - intelligent and stylish :)
ReplyDeleteLaura! Thanks! I thought my bangs were being goofy - but I'll take it.
ReplyDeleteLOL. You may be right. Maybe I was challening that one librian within an inner sense of style. There has to be one, right?!
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you! I'm digging black + brown lately.
ReplyDeleteI think there are lots of DNE things out there. Like fat free ice cream and comfortable heels. People speak of these things, but I do not see them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Veronika! Lots of outfits have been happening this way. Don't know if I should assume my planning is bad, or that I'm just a better spontaneaous dresser. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ang! I promise my hair does not always look good. If only the world knew how frizzy my hair really is.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irina!
ReplyDeleteYou wear librarian chic well! I especially love the color of the top.
