One of my biggest pet peeves is when people ask me I’m going to graduate college. Usually they mean undergrad. I don’t have a problem with looking young, that’s good. The problem is that I don’t always look professional or seem to look like a kid. Maybe that is just in my mind.
Enter the magic jacket. My office is cold, the whole library is cold! Between my officemate and me, we have 4 jackets /sweaters and one blanket. I’ve started to wear my jacket and suddenly I look professional, or more professional! It’s crazy. It goes with everything and I think it looks hip. I’m going to wear this jacket until it is just rags.
A short little jacket, along with a silk scarf tied jauntily around the neck, is a must-have accessory for your average European woman. It gives them that certain elegant, romantic, je ne sais quoi. And if it works for them, it will surely work for you.

You can have one for every season!
I’ve tried the scarf thing and think I look a bit goofy. It always looks good on other ladies though.
It’s all in the color, baby–or is it the texture?
I like to wear scarves in my hair. Is that close?
