Dressing like a librarian

I was watching Extreme Makeover last night (as you do), and one of the candidates was a young librarian in Colorado. She had lots of fat sucked from her cheeks, one eye de-drooped, lasik eye surgury to correct her vision, liposuction on her tummy and something done to her face to fix her acne.

She also dressed kind of frumpily, in the most boring trousers-and-shirt combos imaginable. Apologetically, she said she dressed like a librarian. I choked a little, thinking that Well-dressed Librarian wouldn't be very kind to her for saying that. So the rest of her makeover consisted of makeup (which she never wore), a haircut (to chop off the hair which was hiding the acne) and a bit of What Not To Wear-style dressing i.e. femininity-plus by way of dresses and heels.
In the end, I think she was just dressing like a normal person.

Boy, was there a lot of fat in her cheeks.
