This dress, I think, is a bit like a David Lynch film: weird, well-made and perhaps a bit too cerebral. If only it were my size.

What I Wore - Uppity Hipster Restaurant Edition
Details:
* vintage 1980s Anne Klein for I Magnin blouse ~ thrifted
* vintage 1960s wool suiting jacket by Richard Steven ~ estate find
* vintage 1960s black clutch ~ thrifted
* vintage 1950s heels ~ Etsy via katherinebraun
* vintage black bow tie (sourced from another top) ~ thrifted
* full skirt by Hall Huber ~ purchased at the KaDeWe in Berlin in 2007
I wore this to dinner last night after The Boy and I decided in the 11th hour to dine out. We ended up at one of my favorite neighborhood spots, Pizzaiolo, where I enjoyed two Old Fashioneds, an asparagus and ricotta salad and a wild nettle and pecorino pizza (all while listening to ESG's A South Bronx Story 2, no less!). We concluded our lovely meal with a biscotti and some employment prospect-based self-loathing. MMMMMMMM!

Pedagogy of Style
The stylish ladies over at academichic (who I first virtually encountered last year on wardrobe_remix) offer up an enviable daily dose of classroom-worthy ensembles that defy the 'frumpy professor' cliché trotted out in most every film about the poor schlumps who--despite appalling pay and a rapidly declining social currency--work tirelessly to teach beer-soaked youth what it means to be good citizens of this cold, dark world. While these ladies can thrift with the best of 'em, they admittedly don't incorporate much vintage into their looks. Since most of my teaching wardrobe is vintage, I thought I'd try my hand at a university-approved vintage look. I'd model something myself, but since I'm on a writing fellowship this year, I'm not allowed to get out of the house (or, more importantly, my pajamas).
