"When I first heard about the premise of Today&amp;#x27;s Best Dressed Reader&amp;#x27;s blog, I had to find out more: &amp;quot;Three feminist PhD candidates at a Midwest university, on a crusade against the ill-fitting polyester suit of academic yore.&amp;quot; Any cause to banish polyester is one I can proudly get behind! See how A. is battling stereotypes in style, after the jump. &amp;quot;This week brought unexpected temperature highs to the Midwest, which made getting dressed for work a pleasure,&amp;quot; A. says. &amp;quot;Out came the long-forgotten spring essentials. I&amp;#x27;ve been experimenting with combining neutrals (something I don&amp;#x27;t often do), so I combined black, navy, and brown for this look. I would have doubted its appeal until I saw it all come together. But I couldn&amp;#x27;t resist adding one pop of color with the bright yellow bracelet. I work on a college campus as a graduate instructor, so getting dressed means looking more professional than the undergraduates I teach, having an appropriate skirt length, and wearing shoes that can cover a college campus all day. This outfit fit the bill perfectly.&amp;quot; I love to see real women meeting real fashion challenges with brilliant solutions--because believe me, A., nobody wants to see the &amp;quot;ill-fitting polyester suit of academic yore.&amp;quot; Bravo on finding a style that&amp;#x27;s both appropriate and totally chic. Find out more about A. and her style cohorts at her blog, academichic.com. What do you think of her look? And don&amp;#x27;t forget...we&amp;#x27;re still searching for the Best Dressed Reader who puts her sense of adventure to fashionable use with a great vintage find! Send us a head-to-toe photo of yourself wearing vintage (and a little tale of how you came across it), and we&amp;#x27;ll publish the best ones right here on Slaves to Fashion!
