Absolutely a suit and heels. Nothing frumpy though. Lawyer =/= ugly and matronly. It's not like I would wear flats to an interview...geez...just pointing out to James-y that even though he is entitled to his opinion, I'm not going to stop wearing my flats with casual outfits anytime soon.

I am going to say it depends on your look. You definitely do not want to accentuate your buttocks and breasts, but being good looking never hurt anybody in law... male or female. One of the most brilliant people I know teaches the LSAT for a living, because he cannot find a legal job. My presupposition is it is because he weighs close to 300 pounds.

That's really sad.

Outfit approved except for the purple rain boots. Anything else you could grab out of your closet? I suggest flats (not because that has been the topic of convo in this thread, but anyway...), as they are light to travel with (you could wear your rain boots and fit them in your suitcase), and would look really cute with the leggings and shirt dress.

+1 no purple rain boots to try to get in off a waitlist

I have friend, female, high powered exec type (President of a fortune 500 company). She belongs to 2 clubs. Ones called "Most Powerful Women Executives" and the other "The C 200 Club". She jokes that the women just get together to compare shoes.

Apparently she wasn't joking.

Cuz, you know, like they come off your heels and stuff... I try them on in stores sometimes and they always flap off my feet. (ugh, the very thought of shoe shopping is making me need coffee.)

Seriously... yikes! I don't have very many shoes over $30, much less $100, lol. Thanks for the advice on structure, though. I think I've seen the elasticy ones - the ones that curl up like little elf shoes when you're not wearing them?

Postscript: Obviously, fashion is not my forte. But that does allow me to state with confidence that this:
if actually true, is 100% unnecessary for girls. Nothing I wear deters guys from hitting on me...nothing I think the purpose of looking fancy must be mostly to threaten other girls and gain a psychological edge in competition.

Well, I'm not bringing a suitcase, just a very large tote. But I guess if the consensus is against the purple rain boots then I'll have to make room for something more appropriate.

Possibly my black, patent alligator loafers.

I worked in women's shoes during college so I admit I did get a little spoiled. I spend the majority of my "clothing money" (which really isn't THAT much) on shoes. I find a lot of fantastic deals on clothing (not really a designer whore when it comes to that), so shoes are what I splurge on, since to get a good pair of shoes, you do have to shell out some moolah. I really do believe that the most important thing you put on in the morning is your shoes, as they can actually affect your posture, foot alignment, joint health, etc. As for the "elastic" shoes, don't get anything that actually folds up...VERY unsupportive..Via Spiga and Tory Burch I know for sure have flats with the elastic...if anything, the toe should come up a touch in the front (your foot will stretch it out, of course), but it should in no way completely fold up. Also, the more expensive shoes should last you for YEARS....a pair of shoes from Payless will last a month tops.

+1 on this as well. I've been hit on in flats, heels, boots, sneakers at the gym...pretty much any type of footwear.

Yeah, if you are trying to get off of a waitlist, purple rain boots are a no. ASD or ASW? Probably wouldn't be THAT big of an issue. As someone on this thread said before, it's not like they will revoke your acceptance because of shoes.

anyone care to share their wisdom here:

please?

Oh, on a fun sidenote, for any of the girls in here are looking to wear something fab to a party/event, and don't want to shell out money on something you may only wear once, check this site out:

hilarious.

Unless the problem is that you're literally overeating every single fucking day for months, wouldn't the point of going to the gym be to get bigger? i don't get it.

Who goes to the gym to get "bigger"? I understand. Most of this thread makes it seem like forty angry people from New Jersey, Berkeley, and Alabama got together for a conversation. Dress up a bit, don't make it your goal to become a "huge freakin' guy", and act the part. Remember, Elite isn't something you score, do, or act like. It's something you are.

I went to the gym, put on muscle, and lost 37 pounds. Then I went to law school and am no longer strong.

I do, dumbass, as do plenty of other people

Most normal to skinny dudes I'd think .. right? Women pretty universally are trying to lose weight though I'll give you that, or at least tone up.

Yes and they almost universally do it wrong

Dudes who try to get "big" at the gym= FAIL. Discussion: DOA. But if you're a tool, go for it. The world needs tools. I just changed by burned out brake light using one, so, you know, you're like, in good company.

question: once it gets warmer out, would it be inappropriate to wear nice open-toe shoes/nicer sandals? this is for an ASD once you've already been admitted...

You're an idiot
