Post a Comment On: A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette

I wore a denim skirt on "no jeans" casual Friday!

1:09 PM

I've decided that if they cover my knee, they could theoretically just be high-water pants, not shorts.

1:14 PM

The lowest possible cut shirt under the suit jacket. You're not doing it right until someone says "Lady, put those away."

2:08 PM

Heels and pearls on "casual" Friday!

2:34 PM

Sometimes I wear a cardigan that doesn't have a trace of cat hair on it.

2:42 PM

T-shirts with my sweater, sneakers everyday, and sleeveless dresses - wait oh that's right - we are doing inventory all summer so comfy dress is necessary!

2:45 PM

Orthopedic shoes and no underwear.

4:35 PM

It doesn't contravene the dress code, but I openly display the tattoos on my forearms.

5:03 PM

I do that all the time, but then again, I have an excuse. I'm preggers.

5:10 PM

I wear high heels, dresses and skirts, tights with various prints . I'm pretty and don't need to wear glasses either.

7:23 PM

I try to clash as much as possible. This means that "professional dress" is achieved in theory, but the ridiculous colour combinations scream "I'm a little crazy."

8:20 PM

At the chick who said "I'm pretty and I don't need to wear glasses"... so you are saying that you are bucking the stereotype by being pretty? So librarians are, by definition, ugly with glasses? Gee.

12:51 AM

I wear squillions of bead necklaces because, in my head, everyday is mardi gras. Oh, and jandals.

4:15 AM

I don't think we have a dress code. But I never wear the little staff identification card that we are supposed to wear. They don't have our names on them; it's just a piece of plastic that lets patrons know we work there.

Ooooh, rule breaker!

8:49 AM

@catatonia do you think the rest of the world knows what Jandals are?

1:34 AM

I wear jeans on "no jeans" casual Friday. Whatever!

3:07 PM

I wear a corset (over a dress shirt). ;)

4:23 PM

Skechers has several shoes that don't look *too* much like sneakers. I have 2 pair.

9:27 AM

I wear black jeans when the rule has suddenly become "no blue jeans."

9:32 AM

I always wear jeans. But then we don't have a dress code, so I'm not really flaunting it... I do dye my hair funky colors though. And wear bangles. Lots and lots of bangles. And 9 rings. Also, today I have neon green eyeliner on. Does that count?

Aren't Jandals flip flops?

10:12 AM

Tights. Brightly colored and patterned ones. You can see some of my collection here - http://recreationalreading.blogspot.com/search/label/BOOLEAN

2:24 PM

Jeans every Thursday. Chuck Taylors with work pants.

11:21 PM

I've broken the ultimate rule of conservative librarian wear-- open toed shoes with no hose!

10:51 AM

Jeans, Converse, some sort of t-shirt with a slogan on it and massive earrings.
I have been told that I should look more professional, but I ignored them and now I think they've given up on me.
