okay since we're getting into the season now...
what suits has everyone been wearing/recently purchased =O]

i have a cream colored one with baby blue skinny pin stripes..but just for some parts of the year
and i got a regular black skirt suit set!

I was complimented by quite a few judges (outside of rounds, coach judges) on how I looked . . . amazing improvement since last year, apparently.

My Expos is all artsy, so I will soon be getting a skirt that will 1) still go with my basic black jacket and 2) look more like something an 'artist' would wear. I'm thinking polka dots on a black background. Similar to my current skirt (which earned the comliments) but not as much pink. I think I hate pink. Wearing pink and doing dishes between rounds kind of makes me feel pre-WW2-ish. I hate that feeling . . .

I'm going to go out and shopxcore for button up shirts to go underneath my jacket. I have learned that I DESPISE wearing t's under the jacket. I'm getting a bunch of long sleeved button downs. And more skirting options.

I think what I did at Blue Key is going to pretty much be what I go by for this year.
I stick to gray and black pants suits for prelims and semi rounds.
Gray/Black Skirt suits for final rounds.

& Cute, comfortable shoes.
Gotta love the shoes. :P

I have three main outfits
Black Pant suit with white satin collar with black polka dots that buttons in
black pumps
Brown pants cream sweater matching shoes
Cute little plaid pants, corderouy blazer, white shirt, light pink pumps

i own like two skirt/pant suits and i don't think i've ever worn either of them to a tournament. seeing as how i'm not exactly a giant those things tend to swallow up all five feet of me. i've found a love for long pants, dark pumps, and button up shirts with little cutesy things on top.

my girlfriend got me a purple dress shirt for X-max

i'm excited.

I got 3-4 suits for Christmas, nobody knew what I really wanted, so they took the "safe" route. I'm happy either way :] They also got me that NFL tie, haha.

I am so not into plain black suits. Why blend in when this is an activity where you WANT to stand out... but not to the point of an outfit being obnoxiously loud...

and a few more things...
what do you think about short sleeves :?
our coach doesn't let us wear colored hose (other than nude) and we have to have closed toed shoes... anyone have weird rules?

Well, I don't think it really matter if your plain or not. I mean, if your constantly getting first in an event or your the best policy debater, for example, you don't need a suit to attract yourself. If you suck at all your events, then why -try- to attract attention to yourself, you know? I mean, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wearing a pretty good suit that a good portion of the forensics population at these tournaments stare at, but, I think it's more respectable to have a black suit, plain, etc. and be known for your event(s) than have a colored suit that's all nice & fritzy and not be known for pretty much anything, mainly because everyone will be looking at your talent when there standing up to clap for you when you get that first place trophy, not your suit.

the only nude hose rule is a bit weird, but i can understand it since colored hose can sometimes be distracting...but its still a bit odd, and as for the closed toes shoes thing, i dont think that's weird...people dont like feet...we have that rule at our school

as for the black suit thing, yeah i can see where you're coming from. i myself have a brown suit (and i AM brown ha ha!) but i have a black suit too. i think interp is more about the person you're becoming, and not the clothes you wear so long as you're clean and professional...i dont think it matters i guess.
