Black and White Gingham

For some reason I never knew the little checkered pattern was actually called 'Gingham'. I was reading another clothing blog last night and the blogger referred to the pattern on her shirt as Gingham. Suddenly a light went off in my head. I've heard the name before but never realized what it meant. Now I do, yay for learning new things! 

Speaking of learning new things, I finally had to bite the bullet and sign up for the GRE exam. I should have done this a long time ago, before I even finished my bachelor's degree. But I am a professional procrastinator, so I have been putting it off, for almost two years now. I graduated back in May of 2011 and decided I wanted to take a break from school for a little while. Well I'm not getting any younger, so I should probably do this now before my little break turns into never. In the spirit of my scholarly pursuits, I wore this outfit. It makes me feel like I look a little smarter. Maybe I should have added some glasses.
