You may not know this about your fave librarian, but I love clothes and fashion! I love to shop and and I’m always looking to find just the right crisp white blouse. Naturally, I don’t consider myself a fashion blogger but you may remember my #scarfvember meme back in November. I wear lots of scarves because I get cold easily and it’s a quick way to add a dash of something to your outfit. I even wear them in the summer!

Several years ago I had the pleasure of meeting my stylist Monica Barnett, at a conference in DC (PowerUp by the powerful PowerMommy aka Uneeka Jay). Monica’s session was about style and I was hooked on her. I subscribed to her updates and every month she sends me a tailored ‘what’s hip’ email; my style is Savvy Sophisticate, dontcha know? Eventually, like all style mavens are wont to do, she published a fashion book. It’s called Without Saying a Word.
Monica is fierce about everything she does. I agree that she’s spot on about her fashion trends, except we will disagree about shoes. She loves them high and with my bad feet (ick I sound like a granny) I need comfy. Sadly, my fierce high heel wearing days are over; which may be why I have such foot problems now, but ick! let’s stop talking about feet, ok?
Anyway, Monica is fierce about fashion. Her conversational tone makes you feel like you are sharing a drinky poo with her after work while chatting fashion. I must warn you though, Monica does not play. She WILL call you out if you look like a goober in your fashion sense. Only because she knows that it is so easy to look good. She totally called me out in person cuz I said I didn’t like to wear dresses. Little did I know that the next year I would don a dress at least once a month to serve up children’s tea parties at the bookstore. I “may” have worn a dress to work on other days as well. But SHHHHHHH don’t you dare tell Monica.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a good dose of real talk and a dash of spice, hook up with Monica. Her site is called Blueprint for Style and you can sign up to be a B style member like I did. She’s on Facebook too!
When you hook up with her, tell her PammyPam sent you!
