Thanks for clarifying, K! I think I know which look you meant.
Thanks Jules! Well, I actually AM a librarian. I think it's a descriptor that kind of works, but not without modification. When I look at the pictures from the image search I'm seeing a strong retro vibe, also very classically feminine. I feel like the tomboy side I do have is completely lacking with this style descriptor. So what kind of librarian chic is it exactly? I do think "librarian" could be a good term to sum smart, academic, scholarly, intellectual, collegiate etc... up.
Thanks Claire! I do think I get why you're all mentioning preppy now.
Thanks Sharon!
Thanks Angie! "A style of substance", I love that description too.
Thanks Lyn! I'm glad I'm finally at a point where I'm fairly consistent.
Thanks Aubergine! I love the term "grounded", sounds very practical and wearable to me. Is there such a thing as "grounded librarian chic"?
Thanks AJ!
Thanks Meli! And again the term "European". I do know what you mean when you use it, but as an European it is kind of meaningless to me.
