A lovely outfit. Very professional and perfect for the occasion.

Love the look and the juxtaposition of boyish and feminine. Swooning over your shoes and shell.

Welcome back, Astrid, and congratulations. Your outfit strikes just the right note.

Astrid Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment! You look very polished and professional in your outfit. Enjoy your celebration!

What a great outfit, I am pleased it was easy to find in a short time. This will be a useful basis for your working wardrobe I am sure.

Congratulations on gaining the mark you had hoped for too! Well done and I hope the celebrations were fun.

I have seen a few of your pics on Instagram, it looked like such a great trip. You have been to parts of NZ I have never been to:)

Well done on your thesis. You look great in the outfit. Let the celebration commence.

Academichic done perfectly!

Nice call on H&M!

Congrats on the successful defense! Great top, sharp shoes, and nice suiting too ^^

Congratulations! Nice outfit, well done

Congratulations Astrid. The colors of your outfit really look fab on you.

FAB! Congratulations!
i didn't know that you were a librarian! one of my sisters is a librarian in a big urban library system, and its so much more that what most people think when they think library.

Utterly fabulous! Congratulations.

Congratulations! You look wonderful. I love that floral blouse. Your thesis topic sounds so interesting. Public libraries are fighting for their funding here and trying to show the public what they do for the community.

You look darling in that outfit, Astrid--professional and spunky, with a bit of je ne sais quoi thrown in. Hope this is the beginning of great things for you!

Congratulations and you look fantastic!

I can't tell you how much I love the floral top with the pants and jacket! You look wonderful and at ease... I'm so happy for you to have completed this big step. Wow. I am so impressed! Congratulations.

You look beautiful and professional in your suit, Astrid. Congratulations on your thesis defense! I'm glad you're going out with friends to celebrate your well deserved success!

Yes Anazing job on the fit and congratulations on the successful defense.

Congratulations, I hope you have a wonderful time at karaoke!

Thank you so much everyone! I'm really moved by all of your nice responses.

Celebration yesterday was great, but I need a big coffee sooner rather than later (I'm staying at a friend's place and her coffee machine is broken).

Congratulations on your master's! You look great and have a wonderful smile!

Congratulations Astrid. Library science is such an interesting field. DH's cousin is the head librarian in a major city in Canada. I look forward to seeing more of you on the forum.

Congratulations!
That's a super professional outfit. Great find.

Congratulations!

Love the suit, very professional but not stuffy. And I like your haircut!

Wow! Excellent finds and perfect for you and the occasion. You look fantastic.

And -- Congratulations!

You looked great, and Congrats!

Congratulations. You looked very professional and modern too. My DD is interested in a grad program in library science, but she's young enough she may change her mind before its that time.

So nice to see you and you look fantastic! And congratulations to you!
