Uh, more like a week of them!
Y'all, I have to confess that I was not the biggest fan of Emory Law School. This was due to the fact that I didn't like law school in general, thought a lot of the people there were nerdy jerks, and didn't give it enough of a chance because a huge group of my best friends from college were in Atlanta, so I got to hang with them instead of classmates.
However, I have never been so thankful to have gone to Emory opposed to Vandy, or Georgia, or UT, as I was this weekend. For one, I would not have gotten to attend this amazing event, but more importantly I wouldn't have these ladies in my life.
Alright, that's enough of reflection and sentiment. Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?
So I left from work on Friday, drove to Nashville and hopped on a plane to Detroit with Miss Shelley.
And her bag.
A little punchy when we finally arrived to our hotel, (understandably as it was past midnight, quite the shocker to my [geriatric of late] sleeping habits), we decided that I should try on my sari. I had bags underneath my eyes the size of Shelley's suitcase, but revived quickly when I got this gorgeous thing on me.
I thought Shelley did a great job, no? There are three parts- the petticoat, which is a simple drawstring skirt which you tie around your waist, a little shirt thing which fastens in front and stops right under your boobs, and a giant piece of gorgeously embroidered fabric.
For comparison purposes- here's me the next day with my sari properly done (thanks to our wonderful "sari ladies").
Isn't is amazing? I wish I hadn't gotten bangs right before, because you can't really see my bindi. I saved it though- might start wearing it about town. . . .along with my sari of course. We ogled all of the saris all day and night. My favorite of the day's was this one-
The green was blinding in the sunlight, it was so sparkly. I'm like a magpie- when I see something sparkly I want it immediately! Oh, and that's the groom on the horse- we'll have to get to that tomorrow!
