What I Wore: On The Road Edition

Now, I don't know how obvious I've made this so far, but I'm a huge book nerd. I collect novels and read, probably to a fault. Which is why I was excited to find out that one of the most popular beat novels was being turned into a movie. On the Road is not one of my favorite novels, but it sure is entertaining and when I found this shirt from Out of Print Clothing, it had such a cool design I just had to add it to my wardrobe.

On The Road Tee - Out of Print Clothing

Cotton Blazer - Urban Outfitters

Suspenders - picked up in high school (similar ones)

Pencil Skirt - local boutique (a similar pencil skirt)

Buckle boots - Delias

Globe necklace - The Plaid Barn
Tapestry bag - Thrifted (similar style bag)

I always try to keep my dorkiness to a minimum in public, but sometimes it's hard. And I'll always jump for the chance to work a piece or my nerd closet into my outfit. With the new movie coming out and its all-star cast, this shirt was a breeze to toss into an outfit.

Suspenders are something I've recently re-discovered. I bought them in high school because I thought I was super cool and punk rock (I wasn't) and I held onto them because I thought I would one day be super cool and punk rock (I won't). However, they do work really well with my pencil skirts so I've been trying to dust them off more often lately.

The look I was going for was a tiny bit world traveler and a tiny bit office wear. The shirt, globe necklace, and tapestry satchel were all supposed to play with that theme. Not sure if I totally pulled it off - maybe it could have been more relaxed, more of a "traveler look - but I like the way it turned out.

Are you going to go see On The Road? Have you read the book?
