thrifted shirt: Banana Republic
I didn't include a total outfit picture; I hope you guys will forgive me! I am getting tired of not being able to show my whole self in these posts. I want you to get the full effect, and if keep not showing my head you aren't getting that. I still plan on setting up a photo-taking location in my apartment. That is what one of my favorite bloggers, J's Everyday Fashion, does. She takes her own pictures in front of a white wall, so every post is uniform. I follow a lot of bloggers, and I have to say hers is the only one that has a self-starter feel, as the others all have someone else take their pictures. I think it makes her blog more personal. The other blogs have their advantages too, though. If they didn't, I wouldn't follow them :) .
For today, let's focus on the details. Above is a thrifted top. I love it! Not only is it purple (I work at LSU, if I can find something purple to wear, it's a good day) but the sleeves are adorable. They almost look like seashells, and they give an otherwise one-note shirt a pop of something special.

thrifted shoes: Ann Taylor
As you can see, I wore this shirt with brown pants and these Ann Taylor kitten heels I recently acquired. I suppose I gravitate toward witchy-looking shoes (does that say anything about me?). I have a lot of them. I mean, give me a hat and a broom and you could sing Witchy Woman to me all day (or Desperado. Seinfeld reference ftw). In spite of all this, aren't the buckles cute?? They're tiny and give just enough character to make these shoes stand out.

Pizza: Schlittz & Giggles
Finally, I included a picture of the pizza ('za) I had for lunch today. The crust was especially delicious!
I also wanted to discuss the passing of Roger Ebert. I can't claim to have read much of his work (although I would like to start) but I am a major fan of movie, television, music, and fashion criticism, and wouldn't mind writing some of my own if ever given the chance. It is one thing to go to a movie and think about what you just saw; it is quite another to open up the movie for discussion with others by writing about it afterwards. It creates a whole other dimension of enjoyment, and I think when people see a movie simply for the sake of seeing a movie, they miss out on an opportunity to learn something new about the human condition through discourse. Now, like I said, I am not very familiar with his particular work, but he has inspired many of the writers that I follow today, and for that I am thankful. He has been a presence in my life for all of my life (as I'm sure he was in yours), and as Oprah tweeted about him today, it is truly "the end of an era." Rest in peace, Roger.
