Survived the semester

 In the last two days I have: met with the professor who’s class I’m taking an incomplete in and made a timeline to finish the course, taken my biostats final, emailed two contacts about my developing dissertation ideas, completed my annual report, filled out my course registration form, made my to-do list for the next month at work/school, and purchased tickets for my high school reunion. It’s going to be a good summer. 

Also, as mentioned previously, I’m still trying to sort out what to wear for said highschool reunion. I finally got around to taking photos of the possible dresses, if anyone wants to vote on a favorite (And ignore my "it’s been a long semester" hair and face in these). 

Dresscode description is as follows: "So it sounds like there is a question about what to wear. Well the quick answer to that is to wear clothes! Ha ha. Seriously, no streaking is necessary. 

I could make the attempt to say dress nice like you’re going on a first date looking to impress, but then some of you would attempt to pull out the Daisy Dukes from Senior year and Im not sure thats what we’re looking for either lol. 

Personally I think business casual is fine. It doesn’t have to be suit and tie, but that is certainly possible if you want.
Just come dressed nice and make your Momma proud to know you. :)"

Event location is at an urban winery tasting room, if that makes a difference. (Please note how weird this is- I went to a rural high school in the middle of nowhere)

Ignore the pseudo link weirdness in these….try as I may, I can’t make OD and Flickr play nice together.

Option 2)

Option 3)
2013-05-02 16.45.00

Option 4)

2013-05-02 16.47.31

Option 5)

Now that I look through the photos, I’m realizing that option 1 isn’t as "grownup"/"sophisticated" as some of the others. Interesting. And I have good taste, and a pretty great figure in spite of everything, and really, I don’t think I can go wrong. And regardless of what I look like, it will be good to see people. And now, as your reward for getting through all of that: Kitten pictures!

I like 5. And who is organizing this thing? I’m really looking forward to mine next year but I’m really afraid they won’t be able to find me due to stuff and nonsense.

i like 1 and 5 the best. mine isn’t very fancy at all. in fact, the one in the running right now was bought at target.

can i also add that i think the whole reunion is kind of weird? sheesh can’t believe it has been 10 years and really not sure what to think of it all. especially the winery.

1. I like it, but it is a little outdoorsy, the vinyard building might be a bit cool. 2. Elegant and it looks like it fits your body the best. Love it. 3. Not sold on it. Looks a little bridesmaidy to me. 4. Quite pretty. I love the colour and pattern on you, it really pops.

5. Nice cut and it looks like it has a lot of movement to it. Very nice, but more of a dancing dress than a reunion one. Long story short – I like 2 and 4 best.

RYN: Thanks for the input! I like those ones, too. I think they’d provided a nice pop when I am wearing neutral bottoms. I also kind of want to get some day-to-day peep toes, since the only peep-toes I own now are on 5″ platform stilettos that I’ll probably only ever use for a photo shoot or if I decide to put on a drag show.
