HisChildForever Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) This is the dress I'm wearing to my graduation tomorrow - Here's the thing. I just purchased black heels, closed toe/closed back, shiny, to wear with it. They put me over 6' but I walk decently in them. Now I'm reconsidering - oh great price, and I need them for a formal occasion later this year - but I'm basically getting paranoid that it won't be easy to walk in them at the stadium at and heaven forbid I trip going up/down the stage stairs. My closet is full of flip-flops, flats (like BOBS lol) and boots. I just don't own dress heels. So I'm wondering if I could pull off boots - aka not look completely ridiculous. I have camel color boots that end 2-3" below the knee (my dress is pretty much to the knee, maybe an inch higher, I forget lol) so the boots and dress combination would look great, it's just I'll be wearing a black robe so you won't see any leg, at least not until I sit down. Although the zipper on my robe ends a foot or so from the bottom so maybe this could work? I'm going to have to try everything on, I should probably just do that now so I'm not worrying about this until tomorrow morning.

HisChildForever Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 I should add that the robe is your typical long graduation robe, but the zipper doesn't go all the way down so there's a space in the fabric at the front, or it'll be noticeable when I'm walking.

morostheos Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd probably just wear flip flops, but no one has ever called me a fashionista... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HisChildForever Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well I showed my mom and she said it looked ridiculous, which it doesn't (lol) granted it's going to be 80 degrees tomorrow so in that light yes it'll be ridiculous. She said if I fall to just pull a Jennifer Lawrence. :| If I feel my shoes slip in my stockings I'll see if I can wear peds. Provided the peds are invisible to the outside eye of course.

AnneLine Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) I opted for ballerina flats and saved the heels for the 'official photos' after the LONG walk. But no one has accused me of being a fashionista, either.... After all, you could wear this under the robe :paperbag: and no one would know.... rotfl Edited May 21, 2013 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kateri89 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Remember this song? Just let it put you in the right mood for graduation and then you'll just know which shoes to wear ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foyAOoVagWw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufsoles Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I wore sky high heels to my graduation but that is because I "felt" like it and I knew most of the other girls would wear flip flops. It really your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
