grad style

I decided my favorite grad outfits were (1) (2) and (8a). The top from 8a was sold out in my size - so I went to the mall looking for the other two...

(2) was my favorite, but after I went to the mall, I found out that it was sold online only. While I was there though, I tried on other dresses. I found this one that I couldn't pass up - it was the 'last' one, and I figured I could return it if I found something better.

I'm still trying to decide on shoes and accessories. I bought 'white wedges' which were too white, so today I bought natural and black -- but I haven't tried them with the dress yet.
Monday is my last FINAL exam (FOR-EV-ER), so I should have some time afterwards to model it in the front of the mirror and make final decisions.

THANK YOU to all of you who gave me advice and voted. I'm happy with what I found (even though it wasn't one of the original options).


I may try to do more shopping this week -- I've seriously deprived myself of the ma
ll, cute clothes, and relaxation/grooming for quite awhile (and I have a sudden need to be 'girlie') This week I'm looking forward to some pampering - including a haircut, color/highlights, waxing -- and maybe even mani/pedi or massage. (the dentist fits in there somewhere too, although I'd rather spend the $$ somewhere else). *I promise to post some 'actual' pictures after the *big* day.

Girl, there is nothing like a fun day shopping at the mall!! I went today for the first time in a while, and I forgot how much fun it is to be there!! Have fun, you have worked long and hard to get to where you are!! Congrats.

Cute new outfit! I'm thinking black heels might look nice with that dress. White or black, though, it will look really pretty! Good choice!

Glad you are treating yourself! You deserve it after all of the hard work the last couple of years!
