Literary Stylings #20: Gentlemen & Players

As I said previously, Gentlemen & Players by Joanne Harris was my favorite book from last month:

I really, really want to tell you guys all about this book, but I also really don't want to give anything away, because it's such a great twist. So, maybe just read it and we can talk about it later?


One thing I can say about the book though is that it's about a private school in England. And that fact inspired today's makeshift schoolgirl outfit:

Now, I've never been to private school, or even known anyone that went to private school, but I am pretty confident that there is plaid involved.


So, I wore my plaid skirt, a white shirt, a lady-tie and ankle-strap flats:

Skirt: thrifted (similar) Top: Nordstrom
Tie: thrifted Brooks Brothers (similar) Flats: Piperlime (similar)
I don't remember if they wore plaid in Gentlemen & Players, but they definitely wore ties, so yeah, nailed that.

I also wore a polka dot belt which was not inspired by the book. I just like polka dot belts:

What about you, Reader Friends? What did you read last month? Anything inspiring?

And if you didn't read anything inspiring, I recommend that you try Gentlemen & Players; you won't regret it!
