I don't know what they're talking about...argyle.
In my mind the classic traditional stuffy librarian was Marian Peru of River
City, Iowa, of Music Man fame, but she was always dressed DIVINELY. She was
more feminine than the other women of River City in her silky pastels, hip
hugging and flowey (or that red number with the tassles when she danced the
tango with the anvil salesman--TSsssssssss!) and she was always turned out
more demurely than Mayor Shinn's wife, what with those massive floppy hats
festooned in feathers beyond the bounds of good taste.
Argyle makes me think of the clammy socks HW Bush wore to Ivy League
college, back in the days when Barbara was first making him feel all hot and
bothered and beside himself with L**t, her alabaster neck still locked
virginally behind a chaste gate of huge pearls. That is the shadow side of
Argyle. The good, hip, neauveau argyle is un-Ivy Leage, not un-librarian, so
there.

Today's Chicago Tribune advises readers: "Argyle. On camisoles, cardigans,
sweater sets, even bags. Don't worry - the modern interpretation of this
print is very un-librarian."
