Meet Olive. She is a 28 year old librarian from Portland, Oregon who enjoys baking shortbread, drinking black coffee and reading the newspaper. She is a fierce realist, but never comes across as harsh because she has a penchant for wearing fuzzy sweater twin sets from the 1960s. Olive likes to wear sensible shoes, because she walks to work and thinks they make people take her seriously.
If you haven't yet noticed, Olive is actually me wearing a pair of cat-eye glasses. I bought them at an antique store last summer, and sadly never got around to getting prescription lenses put in them. But you bet that once I do, Olive will be making a comeback.

I wish I was as damn cool as you Isabel *shakes head*

I love the cat eye glasses and the pins! I "borrowed" a pair of old man glasses from the military history club glasses donations box at my school, and want to get lenses in them, but they are kinda broken so i must fix them first

can I just that I am happy to meet Olive and that she seems like the perfect partner in crime and my go to person whenever I need any book about feminist theory!
In the words of the amazing Humphrey Bogart
"Olive*, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship"
*a minor change in names, I also bet that Olive would be well versed in classic hollywood movies and actors!
I'M DYIN'.
Have we established through my blog that I am nuts about frames? THESE ARE PERFECT FOR YOU. Would be wise to get them in prescription or Olive will probably come and haunt you in the future.
Those glasses are SICK.
I love this.

We could use some fab people like you in the MLIS program at western, just sayin. haha

I hope Olive shall return, because I do love her so. I aspire to be at a level of epicness that Olive sits. UGH those brooches, you're killing me

LOVE the outfit! Embrace your inner Olive-ness!

Olive is the shit.
i love the name "Olive". I only have one alter-ego, "Evelyn"- we go way back. I may need a new one...
i loe all those pins on her blazer
Olive, sigh. When I wear my glasses I am nothing but my mother.
eep!
I have to say this is surely one of your best outfits! It's a hit from head to toe. Adorable. The blazer is AH MAZE ING. =]
just wondering: since you work at AA, have you tried the new riding pant on? I know this is totally unrelated to the blog, but I don't have an AA near me and I don't want to pay shipping just to send them back :)
I want to be Olive when I grow up.
And I want her glasses too!
Olive looks lovely...weird how much glasses can change someones face. But the clothes are still you! Love it x x
Olive sounds like quite a gal! Love the outfit...those glasses look great on you/Olive, prescription lenses are a must!! :)
