I wear the same cardigan almost every day (and blog about it), since I think it ties together any library outfit. I aim for a classic retro “librarian” look, since I enjoy looking the part almost as much as being the part. Also, learning how to give myself a beehive has changed my life. View high resolution

I call this my “Joan” dress after the curvy character in “Mad Men”. Naturally, I felt compelled to pose with my Star Wars lunchbox AND my library copy of “The elements of content strategy” which no web librarian should be without.
Also Nancy Pearl is in the background on my desk.

I wore these boots to work, surprisingly comfortable. They are second hand from a shop called Madam Butterflys in Christchurch, New Zealand.
