Where can I find pants that stand up by themselves?
It’s almost time to refresh my professional wardrobe. I have had several considerations about this:
Do you think anyone would mind if I started dressing like a Starfleet Officer? Not only is the Starfleet uniform one piece, which saves me matching separates, it’s also made out of that cool neoprene which means I will never be wrinkled. (On a side note: Do you think we should buy an ironing board at some point? Since we moved 14 months ago we have just proceeded through our lives vaguely wrinkled.)
Emma Watson’s popularity has only increased since the Harry Potter franchise. SHE IS BELLE in Beauty and the Beast, you know. Long story short, why not dress like Hermione Granger? I feel like I could really pull off the Gryffindor green / British schoolgirl look.
Remember how great Greta Gerwig looked in that weird movie we saw, where she had the adorable baby? Say I just start layering every sweater I have with opaque tights, and some lesbian looking shoes. In the library world does the multiple cardigan look automatically equal a promotion? Maybe I should test this hypothesis.
On another note, I have received your feedback about looking like a fuzzhead all the time. As a counterpoint, here is a list of women with unkempt hair, who do not have to give a shit because they are smarter and more accomplished than either of us will ever be:
Ann Beattie
ELLIE GOULDING (seriously, google her)
Feist’s backup singers, The Mountain Men
Lena Dunham
Miranda July
Malala (okay, it’s hard to tell, but WE KNOW)
Elizabeth May
Sarah Ostergaard
All I’m trying to say is that THE DREAM IS REAL, okay?
