I'm still at university, but I'm already working as a student assistant, part time. My boss is the best example for what you're saying - I totally want to be her when I grow up (she's over sixty). She has great style.</p> <p>Thanks Neel! I've actually worn a version of this outfit today. I hadn't planned to take pics, but since this post surfaced again I'm posting them here. I've changed the tights to textured ones, layered over nude hose for warmth. And since it's colder the denim jacket was replaced with my peacoat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1384476 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:15:09 +0000 Neel 1384476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May be you just look wise and well educated .... I love that denim jacket every time you wear it. Fun outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1384471 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 19:08:28 +0000 Linda 1384471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Astrid!<br />So glad a fellow librarian is on the Forum! &nbsp;I know you didn't mean it negatively, and I think that you look great! &nbsp;It's just that other posters seemed to imply that librarians are totally unstylish and frumpy, which as you know, is totally NOT TRUE! &nbsp;I guess I do have that "librarian look" whatever that is, because I'm always being asked for help, even in stores. &nbsp;My husband, kindly, told me it's because I have an air of competency which others sense. &nbsp;I'll take it! &nbsp;I hope you love being a librarian as much as I do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1384384 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 17:09:33 +0000 Astrid 1384384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Linda and Shevia! Just to clarify, I am a librarian too. This was in no way meant negatively. Just that this never happened before and I thought it funny that wearing this it happened twice. Like I'm wearing what students think a librarian is supposed to wear... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1384261 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:49:38 +0000 Jaime 1384261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree librarian is a noble profession - take it as a compliment. I think the turtleneck looks terrific with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1384257 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:34:15 +0000 Linda 1384257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that this appeared a week ago, but I just found it.&nbsp; What's wrong with looking like a librarian?&nbsp; Maybe a librarian from the 1950s would be a bad look, but I'm a librarian and I've worked with a ton of librarians who are all fashionable, stylish, and smart. I'd take the students' request for help a compliment!&nbsp; Just saying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1375109 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:41:05 +0000 Astrid 1375109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara! Maybe I give off librarian vibes.... who knows? I just thought it funny because this never happened to me before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1375076 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:29:59 +0000 Sara L. 1375076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure what about this outfit would make people think you were a librarian.&nbsp; You look cute and I love the colored denim jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1375070 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:22:53 +0000 Astrid 1375070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Thistle. The turtleneck was a present and I didn't even buy it myself, but I really enjoy wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1375050 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:58:55 +0000 Thistle 1375050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't call it librarian, at least not by me!&nbsp; </p> <p>I love the skirt paired with oxfords. And the turtleneck looks terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---turtleneck-plaid-and-oxfords#post-1375033 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:30:47 +0000 Astrid 1375033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I wore my old navy turtleneck (which is more fitted than the new one) with my plaid skirt to work. As it's been not that cold I was comfortable in oxfords and just needed a denim jacket outside. </p> <p>When I went to another library to copy an article I got asked twice by students whether I could help with something - seems my outfit looks very "librarian". </p> <p>ETA</p> <p>Added my outfit from today, a version of this one, further down in the thread.</p>
