End Notes:
S. and I are paying homage to A-style today, and this is my interpretation of an A-worthy outfit. While S. riffed off of A.’s adept layering of ruffles under a cardigan, I’m playing with some of A.’s signature colors: shades of blue green. A. definitely knows how to work this color palette, and she always looks great in it.
A. has become my dearest friend in my department over the past few years and has helped keep me sane through some storms of academic drama. We work extraordinarily well together, whether we’re co-teaching a class, planning a lesson, curating an exhibition, or just tandem shopping. She’s a hard worker, incisive thinker, warm teacher, and supportive friend.
Happy birthday, A! Here’s to another year of impeccable style and fashion-forward feminism. Will you be premiering one of your birthday gifts today?

Those shades of blue/green are beautiful and very reminiscent of A’s style. I really like the pop of red from the shoes, balancing out the warmer color palette.
I really like how this color palette looks on you. It’s a lovely combination
Gorgeous!
