Cardigans, sweaters, and khakis... We all know what librarians like to wear, but what about the crazy kooks that come into the Library?
Here is a just a list of a few popular?, I mean, fashionable? I mean, straight out weird, you wouldn't wear in public clothes, but if you wear these items in public I can assure you that I will blog about it or make fun of you!
1. First let me address the problem of over sized clothes and people. Okay, some people are fat, duh we live in the US. But the worst thing someone with that problem can do is wear clothes that is too small. This is mainly a problem when it comes to small spaghetti strap tank tops. If I am going to check-out your books I don't want to be FORCED to check out your big boobs or love handles along with those books.
2. Overalls, last time I wore overalls I think I was in elementary school, but I was wearing undergarments with them. No lady with just a bra underneath, I was wearing a t-shirt. Two sisters at the Library also suffer from matching-maroon-overalls syndrome. It is quite delightful and by delightful I mean I laugh every time I think about it.
3. Pajama pants. Being a college student, I can understand to a certain extent why people would wear pajamas in public. Usually it is because you woke up late or were just in a hurry. So now I pose a quest for you: When have you been in a hurry while visiting a library or late to the library? First of all, the library opens at 10 and closes at 8pm giving you enough time to at least put on some jeans before coming, shit. Now I will list my favorite pajamas pant in the past 5 years: dollar bills, playboy bunnies, NASCAR, and the winner baby bottles (this is an adult we are talking about).
4. The Library is the center for stereotyping and judging people, one of my favorite hobbies! Fashion is probably the best if not easiest way to stereotype people. What do you expect me to think when you come into the library with eyeliner, black trench coat, and stripper boots? Um, let's see...Serial Killer? No... Stripper? No... Oh, yea... GOTH FREAK, the possibilities are endless. Other common stereotyping that happens: Skank, Bro, Trailer trash (did I mention overalls? oh yea, I did), Gangsta, etc. etc. etc.
5. And lastly I will end my favorite fashion moment at the Library with a description: Brown short hair, about 230 pounds, 5'7, Black jean shorts (that used to be pants), Spider tights (for warmth?), black combat boots (maybe they're a veteran?) small white shirt (I can see out the bottom and top), and (drum role please) RED. VELVET. HOODED. ROBE.
