<p>Personally, I would go for a top or sweater set that’s a vivid color – something to make one stand out without sticking out. Nothing low-cut or too “girly.” It’s a bit early for white. I would wear <em>comfortable</em> spring shoes, not sandals, and assume that there will be extended standing/walking involved (i.e., reception, dinner at another campus location) at some point. Wear hose and makeup (light amounts are fine, but it is part of what’s expected in that culture). I have been to too many events where the young girls were all barefoot long before the evening is finished. That’s not the impression you want your D to give!</p>
<p>Even when I used to travel for business, I would take an extra outfit to give me an option in case I found myself under/overdressed (or I spilled something). My DH would find this horrifying, as he is of the pack light philospohy, but I feel more comfortable in my skin if I know I can change the look as needed. </p>
<p>I used to live in Augusta and went to Boston for an interview for a college transfer at the end of March. Kelsmom, you are absolutely right that there are differences in what one wears! I wore a flowery wrap-around skirt and polo shirt and felt horribly out of place (not to mention I nearly froze my tush off.) But hey, my DH proposed to me that weekend, so I guess it worked out! :)</p>
