If you, too, dream of mastering that dowdy-but-lovely look, here are a few of my favourite style inspirations – librarians from the world of film who have perfected that signature look.
Evie – The Mummy
Marian Paroo – The Music Man
Mary Hatch – It’s a Wonderful Life
Miriam Radford – Murder, She Wrote
Connie Randall – No Man of Her Own
Bunny Watson – Desk Set
