Mrs. 'Murica and a Librarian Linkup!

The first thing one of my co-workers said to me today was that she liked my patriotic look. Guess I should've worn my flag shoes with this one!

My hair drove me crazy today! That headband stayed put for about an hour before I gave in and put my hair up in a ponytail!

And now, for the linkup!

On Friday, August 30, join me, Jen at Librarian for Life and Style, and Shelley at Miss Lady Librarian for a linkup featuring librarian style (just in time for back to school). Submit your favorite work look from the week of August 26-30, and be sure to take a look at all of the other fabulous participants! Also, you don't have to be a librarian to participate in the linkup - just share your favorite back-to-school outfit along with us!

This is the first linkup I've hosted, so I'm still learning the ins and outs! If there are any seasoned pros who have tips, please pass them along. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions!

Preppy Pattern Mixing

Today was a fashion risk for me. I've never done such overt pattern mixing. In fact, my pattern mixing is limited to one instance where I wore a printed tank top and pants with very subtle pinstriping. I don't even know if anyone noticed. Today I felt...out there. It did get the husband seal of approval when I tried it on last night, and my mom said it wasn't bad when I saw her today, so I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought. You be the judge:

Here's a close up of the two patterns:

I didn't get a good shot of it, but my shirt is a Ralph Lauren and has a monogram on it, which made me feel extra preppy today. Also, my shirt and skirt are from Goodwill! You can't beat that!

Also, linking up with Thrifters Anonymous!

 

What I Wore: June 17, 2013

So without realizing, I kind of dressed like today's Style In Art picture! 

White Center (Yellow, Pink, Lavender on Rose) by Mark Rothko 1950

We're having modem connectivity issues at home, so I had to settle on subpar phone pictures in my office during lunch. But, the sentiment of a yellow (gold!) top and white pants is there, so I get partial credit, right? (Wait, who am I asking...of course I do!) 

My favorite shot of today

Tried to get a better shoe shot

My smiling face

These shoes would've worked better with today's painting!

Can we also take a moment to celebrate the fact that I had meatball subs for lunch and spilled nary a drop on these white pants? I think that earns me an adult beverage in my pajamas tonight...
