The Library Look

July 12, 2016,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Perhaps it’s my lifelong propensity for reading, or a woefully optimistic misinterpretation of Nancy Drew books, but sometimes I dress like a librarian. I was drawn to this bow-tie blouse because of my Gossip Girl days and paired it with a zip-down pencil skirt for a mix of classic and edgy. The look takes a dowdy aesthetic and makes it modest, but visually interesting. thelibrarylookView More: http://stephanieritaphoto.pass.us/celina-juneView More: http://stephanieritaphoto.pass.us/celina-juneView More: http://stephanieritaphoto.pass.us/celina-june
