My eighteenth year of school began with an outfit with a rather unusual theme for me: Americana! I was listening to my friend's folk playlist and felt strangely drawn to the ol' red white and blue. Must have been all that banjo.
In any case, my day was anything but all-American: I had Chinese food for lunch, discussed classical rhetoric in my first graduate seminar course, and came home to watch some 90s BritCom. It was a delightful and low-key first day of the rest of my life, even though I know that my graduate study-fueled existential crisis is imminent. Better gather my rosebuds while I may, or something.

Some details...
PS: You'll notice that today's pictures are not only in focus (a huge upgrade from previous ones), but actually rather lovely! My roommate, Jill, has agreed to serve as the unofficial Grammar with Style paparazza. If you're from the mid- or southeast-Michigan area and have a hankering for some portraits, please take a look at her art portfolio and Facebook page. She is truly the best!
