I copied this outfit, thinking I would look cute, casual, and trendy, like she does. Instead, I look a like professor (which is not a bad thing, mind you, I'm just perplexed that my take came off so different than hers). I thought the addition of the groovy teal velvet blazer with the funky paisley lining would take me into casual boho territory, and maybe it did, but it was casual boho professor territory. I ran errands this morning and then attended a seminar this evening and had people asking me all day where and what I teach. (Of course in the evening that might have had something to do with me explaining to the seminar leader that no you can't tell gender from a skull, although often you can tell sex.)

Also stop the presses, I semi-tucked. And wore it that way, at least for my morning errands when I had the blazer on. I untucked once the blazer came off; my buddah belly doesn't appreciate that much atention. Also, stop the presses again, I didn't wear a scarf or a necklace! Just these dangly enamel earrings that I got a good 20 years ago at the Smithsonian.

Thanks for looking, comments and suggestions welcome!
