Graduation

So, it really took until today to feel like I'm really graduating.  It took such a girly thing that I'm almost a little embarrassed to write it.  Well, I'm obviously not THAT embarrassed, but anyway.  

My confession: I did not feel like I was graduating until I bought a new dress to wear to graduation.  

Okay, glad that's out there.  The truth is I needed a new dress.  I bought a really pretty pink dress, but upon further reflection, it's a little too sexy for graduation or bridal showers (where I plan on wearing this dress).  I thought with a cowl neck it wouldn't be too bad but really, it's just inappropriate!  Also, I feel like such momentous occasions should be commemorated by a new outfit.  That way, I can wear my dress and think, I graduated law school in this and look! it's very functional because I'm wearing it to this shower. :)  Yes, this is what really goes through my head.  And yes, I am going to be a serious NYC attorney... in October.

So, here's the dress I picked (from my favorite store - J. Crew):

I also just realized that I can wear my wedding jewelry with this dress too.  How perfect!  I just hope it fits when it comes in the mail because blogging about it has made me abnormally excited for an article of clothing.

I'm still debating on shoes for it, but I have to buy strappy black shoes for Steph's wedding so I might multi-task them.  I have a pair (just one) of strappy black shoes but the leather is all stretched out.  Maybe someone borrowed them?  At any rate, I'm waiting for a great sale or maybe I'll find time to hit the cobbler and see what a repair cost would be.

All that being said, it's less than 42 days until graduation!  It sounds like a lot of time, but I know that it really isn't.  Before any of us realize it, another chapter in our lives will be done and there's so much to do before then!
