Does anyone else wear a pair of faux glasses just to feel smarter, and maybe a little edgier? Like, I’m daring to wear these wide frame glasses on my face that only the cool kids wear and now I’m one of them? I paired my glasses with an eye-catching red blazer and scuba leggings and I was feeling pretty good…all for my trip to the library.

Speaking of libraries, lately I have been obsessed. First of all, I recently signed up to reserve books online through the Chicago Public Library system, so I’ve had a constant rotation going of all of the hottest reads. Sure, I might have to wait a few weeks to get to one I’m dying to devour, but I usually have another book in the meantime.
Second, I just went to the historic Harold Washington Library for the first time and could not even believe how beautiful it is. From the first floor to the top, it’s light and airy and magnificent. The winter garden was the perfect respite from the cold, and the sun streaming through the windows tricked me into believing for a moment that if I stepped outside I’d be warm. Ha. Maybe those glasses don’t make me that much smarter. But seriously, you should sign up for your own library card and start reserving books of your own! If you need any recommendations, be sure to check out my Sincerely Reading feature.

Great look! I love the leggings!
I usually wear contacts but wore my glasses one day late in the fall quarter last year. One of my students noted that I looked more like a professor that day… 🙂
