A Little Librarian-ish

It's been a very unusual May here in Atlanta weather-wise. It was cool enough last week to wear long sleeves without breaking a sweat - that's positively freezing by Atlanta standards! So I decided to take full advantage of the chill and attempt an Audrey Hepburn look with a classic white button up.

H&M shirt, F21 belt, AA skirt, Dolce Vita shoes from Eviva, secondhand bracelet.

I think this is my new favorite bracelet. I got it for $3 at the same jewelry sale Lar wrote about here.

And I'm sure all you Maira Kalman fans out there recognize the book I'm holding. You can probably tell by my writing that I bought the book just for the illustrations and not for a better understanding of writing composition and grammar - sorry, William Strunk Jr.

    Oh, I love that book! But I also love it without Maira Kalman's illustrations, too. ;) (Did you see Kalman's exhibit at Jackson Fine Art earlier this year? It was so nice to see her stuff in real life!)

    You look so sophisticated and chic! And those DV shoes are fab! Yes, we are also unfortunately experiencing cool weather in LA which requires wearing long sleeve shirts and light jackets. What's up with that?!

    Isn't it crazy that he wrote Charlotte's Web too? Back when I thought I'd be a writer, I carried that and the Rhetoric of Fiction around everywhere.

    ps. glasses and a crisp white shirt should be required items in everyone's closet.

    That was one of my go-to books in high school. I became much more attached to my MLA Handbook in college, though. Atlanta weather is back on track, though. It's getting hotter and hotter by the day. Looks like we're in for yet another hot and humid summer. I'm going to miss that cool weather.

    The 'Fit is great! I dig it. It's very work appropriate with that nerdy, latent sex-kitten vibe.

    The glasses really help to pull together the entire ensemble.
