Wearing a kelly green short-sleeve sweater, accessorized with a matching green and blue neck scarf, a bold kelly green headband, and sleek black cat-eye sunglasses doesn’t just make a statement—it *writes* one, in confident, red-penciled edits. Inspired by Bernadette Swift, the fierce, savvy heroine of *Confessions of a Grammar Queen* by Eliza Knight, this look channels ambition, intellect, and unapologetic style. It's the kind of outfit you wear when you're ready to smash the glass ceiling and do it looking fabulous. Your desk becomes your command center—adorned with a cheerful vase of yellow flowers and sharpened red pencils at the ready, it radiates authority with a touch of elegance. Each pencil is a symbol of power: for every comma corrected, every sentence refined, every unjust policy challenged. Because Bernadette isn’t just a copyeditor; she’s a crusader for change. She’s out to claim her place at the head of the publishing table—and look flawless while doing it. That green sweater? It’s your armor. The scarf and headband? Your crown. The sunglasses? Your shield from the doubters. And your carefully curated desk setup? A reminder that details matter—whether you're editing manuscripts or dismantling misogyny in a 1960s Manhattan office. Like Bernadette, when you step into this look, you’re not just showing up—you’re taking up space, rewriting rules, and inspiring the next generation of women to do the same. So sit tall, sharpen your pencil, and smooth that scarf. The world better make room—because the Grammar Queen has entered the scene. And she *means* business. LTKStyleTip LTKGiftGuide LTKSummerEdit
