From time to time, IPF friend, fashion consultant and rogue academic, Kelly Bean, drops in to do a guest post. This is one of those times.
Many of StyleNation’s academics are counting down the semester’s remaining classroom days. What better time for a little fantasy professorial fashion?

“You. Where is your essay? Technological difficulties are not valid excuses in my class. I am the best hacker in the entire university.”
“I keep a laser pointer and a switchblade in my boot at all times.”

And don’t make me use this bike lock.”
