While on a visit to the University of Arizona Library in Tucson, I was convinced by some sister librarians that I should take a photo of something I would typically wear to work in my library.

Hilary, Reference Coordinator and Senior Manuscript Processing Specialist: “Brocade jacket and fluted skirt from Anthropologie. The jacket reminds me of one Maria wears in The Sound of Music.”
Eisha, Reproductions and Exhibitions Coordinator: “Child-sized beaded sweater I bought forever ago (sometimes it’s good to be short), an ’80s Club Monaco wool skirt I just scored on Ebay (sailor buttons in front, AND it laces up in back!), and Guess lace-up boots. I have a weakness for excessive fastenings.”

This actually a little dressy for me, but pretty much every day wear for Heather. Skirts aren’t usually the best Story Time wear.

My everyday wear. Shirt underneath is either a t-shirt or a dress polo, depending on what I am up to that day.
