Okay, I'm officially driving myself crazy. I tend to overanalyze things and I'm sure I'm doing that on this too, but I've been to every store I can think of and haven't found a thing!
Guidelines:
1. Our gowns are black, so I'm thinking I need to be able to wear black shoes with whatever I buy. (my mom thinks this is silly though)
2. I rarely wear dresses anymore, so all of my church-level dressy outfits just hang in my closet. I was hoping to find something that could be split into separates where I could wear the top to work with black capris and the skirt with a more casual shirt and sandals and not feel overdressed. (I work in a pretty casual environment)
the problem with #2 is that the things I feel like could work as casual separates for work (I'm thinking a polished cotton A-line skirt or something) ends up feeling not "special" enough for graduation. Should I just resign myself to getting a dress that will likely only be worn a couple of times? TIA!
