A combination of a few things - the smell of Fall in the air, my new apartment, and picking up my booklist for school - has got my inner bookwormy-hermit side coming out from it's summer hiding spot! I was so excited to see Faulkner on my booklist I dove into his book right away without even finishing the Fitzgerald I was reading! It seems to mean so much more to me when I read his stuff now that I can picture him in his pretty white house scribbling the outline for his stories on his bedroom wall and sipping brandy with his wife! I'll be really glad to have a professor who can actually help me understand it, so I can stop pretending!
I even pulled out this little plaid pencil skirt from my closet and thought it would make a perfectly studious back to school outfit if I paired it with this wonderful little white blouse that Brianne sent me in the swap! It's such an easy outfit and it will work so well with tights and flats, or maybe a little belted cardigan, I get the feeling this might be one of those outfits I wear far more often than is acceptable!
The weather has been so perfect here, all sunshine and breezes and the little back porch right off my bedroom faces this wonderful little alleyway with gangs of alley cats and the smell of delicious barbecue! There is even a little old man that plays the violin somewhere in the mix! I sat out there with a cup of hot coffee reading for at least an hour tonight, until the sun went down and the porch light attracted too many hairy moths for my liking...
It's off to the couch with me now to watch Roman Holiday - again! Have a Lovely Thursday!
