I was totally psyched the other day when I found this vintage Pendleton plaid blazer at Savers. Score. I love finding treasures. When I put this whole outfit together I was feeling sort of school girl, so a handful of books seemed appropriate for the picture. Why are props so fun?
I have a lot of fun putting together outfits from start to finish. What tights, what jewelry, etc… so I decided to make a video about this outfit. I will be posting it in about an hour. Make sure you check back to watch and to hear my baby voice.
Vintage Pendleton Blazer: Savers
Victoria Secret Sweater: c/o Lucky

p.s. Want to know what books are in my hands? Night by Elie Wiesel and Teach Yourself Post Moderism by Glenn Ward. haha I have shelves and shelves of art history books. I am super nerdy.

Those shoes are great! I always have a hard time finding shoes that aren’t tall boots to wear with skirts and this looks awesome.

I love that you listed the books! Seriously, after commenting (in my head) about how adorable your outfit is I thought, “But, more importantly, what books are those?” Major nerd here, too (American lit PhD student).

I’m so glad to hear that I’m not the only one who kept all my art history books from college! I have a bookshelf entirely devoted to them. When I was unpacking them all recently I started feeling a little awkward about it since my husband only had one college text book to join the mix haha normal people keep their text books right!?!

I might have silly questions about your glasses, Were they’re prescription glasses? were they wayfarer?
