We're On Next Year's Shortlist For Sure

 
 Yesterday, WashingtonPostFashion writer Robin Givhan won a Pulitzer prize for criticism. She received the news in thePost's newsroom in Washington, D.C., wearing a sensible Ivory-colored sweater that represented a consolation of sorts to the purposefully unflashy style of her Beltway-locked coworkers (Ms. Givhan lives and works from New York). On her left hand, riding astride her middle finger, was a magniloquent amber ring, a hint of Uptownfrissionand a protective barrier -- intentional or no -- against the dowdification (though not necessarily Dowd-ification) of a DC newsroom.

Blah blah blah greater cultural significance metaphor for something larger etc. etc.
