Sanditon, Season 2, Ep. 1
It’s been a couple of years since Masterpiece’s Sanditon first aired on PBS, and a couple of years since I blogged about it episode by episode. I’m excited to be blogging again about this Jane Austen adaptation. So, let’s get two things out of the way. 1) There are going to be SPOILERS in these…

Long time no blog
I haven’t blogged in a while, and I miss it. Maybe you have too? Maybe you wonder what’s up with What Professors Wear? Well, let me tell you. Here’s my first day of school outfit: I wore a white and black striped cotton blazer (from The Gap) with a black and white striped cotton shirt…

Blogging Hiatus
When I first started blogging it was all about professorial fashion–well, my professorial fashion mostly. I called my blog “What Professors Wear”–a riff on “What Not to Wear” (TLC show). I wanted to show people that you can wear stylish, fun, comfortable clothing and shoes to work. No stuffy suits. No lame khakis. But the…

A Letter to My Shakespeare and Race Summer Class
I sometimes teach a five-day-a-week, five-week (got that?) summer course. In the past few years I’ve only taught an Austen summer course, and this summer I am teaching a Shakespeare course. I love both authors’ works, so it’s all good. I only want to teach summer courses on authors or topics that I am absolutely…

The Sweatshirt Dress
#whatprofessorswear I finally did it. I finally bought a sweatshirt dress! I have wanted one of these for a long time. I like to wear dresses sometimes, but I love to wear sweatshirts. Why not combine them? It’s a mashup, y’all! Last year on Black Friday (which, I repeat, is like a week long now),…

Bright and Cozy First Day of Classes
#whatprofessorswear It’s January 26, 2011, and the sun is out in my neck of the woods, which means that it’s a cold day in Maine. What better way to warm up than by putting on some sweats, right? Well, I’m teaching online today, so I shouldn’t be wearing a sweatshirt. Sweatpants–no problem; sweatshirt–not really teaching…

Pearls for Kamala
#whatprofessorswear #pearlsforkamala This is a fashion blog post, and you might have thought I would talk about what people were wearing at the inauguration. After all, ABC decided that we needed to know which designers Biden and Harris were wearing. But I’m not. Today I am interested in the symbolic. On this historic day, I…

Bridgerton, Episode 8
Here we are, dear reader, at the end of Bridgerton, season 1. Did it end the way I expected? In some ways, but not in all. In this post I’ll address the expected and unexpected denouement of your beloved show. Expected: Of course, I expected Daphne and Simon to turn this marriage around and enter…
