Last week, I mentioned that my Tuesday schedule is killer. I teach three classes - one of which is a 4 hour evening class - and hold office hours, so I'm on campus for more than 12 hours straight, all told. While my upper level class is intellectually invigorating, by the time I leave campus I am exhausted. Since the new term is still young, I'm still trying to bring my best sartorial game to campus, but I know I need to be dressed for comfort on Tuesdays. Yesterday I chose an old standby and an even older old standby.
1Black Tights (remixed) & Amethyst Tights (last purchase before GAAD) - We Love Colors
Shoes - r2 (remixed)
Necklace - Etsy (gift and remixed)
Regular readers of our little part of Style Nation will recognize this dress. I've worn it for the last 30x30 challenge, I wore it for the first day of the fall semester, and for the first day of the winter semester last year (and many times in between). This tweedy jacket, though, I've only worn on the blog once or twice. It is an old, but lately neglected, friend. I've had it since 2004, and wore it constantly during the fall of 2004 and the spring of 2005. It used to make me feel very scholarly to wear it with jeans, while riding my bike to campus, when I was in graduate school. When I gained weight while living abroad from 2006 to 2007, it fell out of my closet rotation, and even after I took off (most of) the weight in 2008, for some reason it just didn't become a regularly worn piece again. I really don't know why. I still love this little jacket, and vow to try to wear it more over the next few months.
Do you have any pieces in your closet that connote scholar to you? Do you have any long-lost closet friends that you think you should work back into your regular rotation?
