Want to SHARE some shoes that get you through the librarianing shift, whether with accentuated funk or function…?

Kicking off the new year by highlighting some cool kicks from the last episode of 2024…

#LibrarianFashion,
Shoes Edition 🧵
Converse high tops with black canvas uppers that are splatter painted in purple (that aligns with my tie), blue, and off-white paint. Bonus: Socks that are partly visible have multi-hued stripes, some thick, some thin, some that have blue tones and purple tones close enough to the shoe splatter painted splotches—nice!

#LibrarianFashion 🧵,
T-Shirts Edition…

Here’s one from co-host @exlibrismrhunt.bsky.social that was worn to work earlier today…Whoooo’s Whoooo In The Zoo?
Me in a bright red shirt of my own design, with a drawing cartoon-style of an owl with its head on a bit of a tilt with one eye squinty small, and one eye very enlarged, raised eyebrow, and a word bubble above that says who’s who in the zoo with lots of extra O letters in the who words— because… owl talking. In the picture I’m also wearing a blue on blue striped cardigan and I’m standing in front of a bookshelf in my hallway at home. I have my head on a similar tilt to the owl picture and I’m attempting a similar expression.
