The librarian look

The other day while my students were quietly working on their hand writing, our custodian entered our classroom to check the roof, followed by a very tall repair man, this guy was probably 7 feet tall! He even had to bend over to go through our regular sized door. One of my kids got up from his seat and loudly exclaimed "Wooow! He is bigger! He is bigger!" as he pointed to the guy. The repair guy chuckled at his comment and I tried not to stare so much; I had not seen such a tall person myself. ^-^ Ladies just when I think I'm running out of  refashioning ideas my creative light bulb goes on, I can't wait to show you what I have in mind!
Shirt: refashioned by me/ old
Skirt: Talbots/ thrifted
Belt: thrifted

My friend's husband is 6"11. He is a giant, and had to custom his house to fit through the doors...he is not just tall but also big you know? Not fat, just wide big. You are looking very pretty as always!

That shirt is adorable and I love the string tie! I have to watch the parent pick-up area at my school with a man who is 6'10" so it makes me feel super short!

You do look like a librarian and the look suits you well! Fabulous outfit and the little bow is such a cute extra touch!

Very pretty outfit, Shey, and I can't wait to see what your amazing refashioning mind will bring us next!

I have a friend who's 6'9 or so, and it's funny how people react to his height. He has a huge beard, and he's sort of a vagabond-looking guy, and a lot of people are somewhat intimidated by him, but in a weird, respective way. They think that he's some magical, wise wizard. :)

Thank you all!
Two butterflies - I refashioned a lot of my clothes before I even did refashion posts so I don't have the pictures but this shirt had long sleeves and some darts that mad it very small for me. =)

I love your blog and the fact that it is modest. This outfit is so pretty and flowy, I kind of want to wear something like that to church next Sunday.
