Or take 2 pairs - a black pair for walking across the stage, and gold for lunch afterwards. If Whoopi Goldberg could wear 4 dresses at the oscars, you can wear 2 pairs of shoes to graduation. <BR/><BR/>Am thinking of you btw - as you are in study mode. I'm great at doing things under pressure at the last moment too. <BR/><BR/>Although my law degree was under another system, I agree that reading cases is not at all necessary for success. In fact, I found that the people who spent ages reading cases got bogged down, and couldn't see the woods for the trees. <BR/><BR/>My analogy - they could describe the vein structure of every leaf in the forest, but lost sight of the path. Answering a law exam question requires overall that you know your way through the forest - which you can get from an outline. <BR/><BR/>Good luck! And enjoy the wedding - nothing like laughter to lighten the load and oxygenate the brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-11647955562058899892008-05-23T17:33:00.000-05:002008-05-23T17:33:00.000-05:00I wore a black and white polka dot sundress and re...I wore a black and white polka dot sundress and red peeptoe shoes - that stupid velvet is hot!<BR/><BR/>Also, word to the wise if you have long hair - take your hair out of the hood after you get hooded before you shake hands with the dean.

It looks fabulous with the black robe. I do agree about the nude heels rather than gold for daytime. I got some sandals that looked sort of "rattan" but in a very clean way. Perhaps nude leather strappy sandals with a wedge heel? makes all the walking and standing so much more bearable.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17715394274558907079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-60259544562957195652008-05-19T18:11:00.000-05:002008-05-19T18:11:00.000-05:00Pretty dress!

The quote is from "How I Met Your Mother" (a fantastic show, btw). Barney, who always wears suits, is trying to explain why he isn't wearing one at a funeral - because "a suit is the sartorial equivalent of a smile." And given how good JP looks in his, I'd have to agree ;)<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty sure I'm wearing the dress. There are some quasi- fashionistas in my class who I'm sure will be decked out in far more ridiculous outfits. Plus, I'll be covered by a robe, it's a midday event, and it's just so pretty and ruffly :) But I really appreciate the comments, and my indecision means I can keep my eye out for other (less magenta) options.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-77741389891538219182008-05-17T22:14:00.000-05:002008-05-17T22:14:00.000-05:00I think the title quote comes from Sex and the Cit...I think the title quote comes from Sex and the City.

I mean, not really, because at the actual ceremony and hooding, everyone's wearing their regalia and all you can see is the guys' shirt collars and everyone's shoes. But it was clear that under the robes were shirts/ties/slacks and muted dresses/pumps, so gold shoes might stick out a BIT. :) If you wanted to change into it for a fabulous post-grad lunch, that could be fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-3400689585799039862008-05-17T05:58:00.000-05:002008-05-17T05:58:00.000-05:00I don't know about US law school graduations, but ...I don't know about US law school graduations, but I presume you're wearing a hood and gown?<BR/><BR/>What colour are they (here we have a black gown, and a pale blue hood).
