I Think I'll Adopt E.B. White

I announced to my history teacher today after walking into class that I was wearing shoulder pads. We then went onto discuss vintage things/shoulder issues/her daughter's thankfulness to have my teacher's clothes at her disposal, etc. for the next couple of minutes. Mrs. B was wearing a Halloween themed blouse complete with ghosts and bats that I am not ashamed to admit that I would most likely (definitely) pick up at a thrift store. I think she's my style twin.
Well, I come home from a literary magazine meeting today to absolutely gorgeous lighting. I couldn't resist taking a couple of photos or two...or 132...
Oh! For your intellectual pleasure, the first time American television utilized instant replay was in 1963. (Another tidbit of information I learned on the bonus question of a business law test.) I guessed 1978...well, at least I was only 15 years off! I mean, a kid actually guessed somewhere in the late 1800s. Yes, indeed, instant replay was used before television...mm, right, you learn something new everyday?
Today, a girl in my Selected American Literature class gave a presentation on Melville. At the end, she informed us that you can actually adopt him! She then said "Sylvia...who's the one you love again? E.B. White? You could adopt him, too!" Well everyone in my class knew what THAT meant. (I have a slight (i.e. rapidly growing) obsession of him ever since we read his adorable Thoreau remembrance essay.) And besides that, Charlotte's Web? I could read that book about a million times/already have read it about that many times! Anyway, unfortunately my hopes and dreams were crushed when I got home and realized that only select poets were available and up for adoption. Well, at least I could always adopt Billy Collins...
You might not be able to tell, but these earrings match perfectly with the colors in the blouse. I was wearing them when I went thrifting on Saturday and found this shirt (actually one of the parts to the three piece set), and both Annie and I agreed it must have been fate. Knowing I shouldn't tamper with what the Gods were telling me, I had them hold it for me and got it on Monday.
Thrifted blouse (w/ shoulder pads!), Secret Treasures leggings, ring found on kitchen counter, borrowed earrings & boots from mom's (because what outfit would be complete without taking at least one thing from my mom?)
