I now have a grad outfit. I decided to just start with my black skirt and bought more (top, cami, sandals, purse, necklace and earrings) to go with it. I took a long, long time to decide - I put it aside at the store and walked around the mall, thinking, then came back for it. You see - it's very bold. Partridge Family bold. I'm used to using my clothes to hide behind for quite a few years. Rob said I looked hot, so I think I'm feeling okay about wearing it for the banquet. I'll wear it to the ceremony, too, but as I'll be in a robe most of that day, not so important.
