Librarians need to step out sometimes. Did you see Parker Posey's librarian
in Party Girl? Live out your bibliophile dreams as the librarian who
is anything but bookish.
As far as details, thigh-highs are lots of fun and add to the flavor
without going over the top. Many discount stores carry them, so you don’t
have to go to a nice department store or pay more than $3 a pair.
Additionally, everyone loves cats-eye glasses, thank you Lisa Loeb,
so can grab a pair at any drugstore for less than $10. They’re
so cute, you’ll wear them over and over again just for the compliments.
Got the idea? Let’s go down the list of ingredients for this sassy
little ensemble.
What you'll need:
Slim mid-calf length skirt with high slit up side.
Elastic thigh highs
Crisp white shirt
Cute pumps or slides
Cats-eye or horn-rim glasses
One or two old books

How to do it:
- If your skirt doesn't have a slit up the side, cut your own using
a yardstick for precision. Try on the skirt first and mark with pencil
how far you want to go.
- oodwill is a good resource if you don't want
to cut a slit up the skirts you presently own.
- Iron your shirt!
- Put on the outfit, making sure your thigh highs can be glimpsed
through the slit.
- Straighten your glasses, grab your old books, and practice
your smart-and-sexy smile.

Bright Ideas: Hang
a cord with keys and a fake security card around your neck (paste
a small digital pic of you on the white side of an index card, or
use an old school
ID), spazz out your hair, and carry a legal pad. Grab a headset—borrow
one from work (with permission of course!) or grab one from a toy store--and
look out, you are one frazzled temp!
Borrow your mom's old blazer or buy one
at a thrift shop and make sure those shoulder pads are huge. Over-do your blush,
add a
bad perm you're
an ‘80s power executive. |
