White shoes after labor day.. or "The right to bare legs."


In true Federalist Society fashion, the Touro Law Chapter held a Constitution Day celebration to commemorate the anniversary of the ratification of the second greatest book ever written (in my humble opinion). With Sam Adams on tap (and on special), the Executive Board welcomed members, old and new, and provided fabulous appetizers thanks to the SBA. Why Sam Adams? Well, we thought, "WWJMD?" (What would James Madison drink?). They totally were friends.

Many probably scoffed at my choice of the black side-zip mini, a fabulous steal from bebe.. and when I say steal, I meant I paid $30.. But the Constitution includes the right to bear arms. And since I chose a blazer for the day, I needed to bare something else. Any Federalist knows that the proper way to interpret the Constitution is by discerning the intent of the framers. Name one framer that would object from me reading an implied right to bare legs into the Second Amendment.

And what about due process? Who made the rule against white shoes after labor day? In my case, I donned them ten whole days after so-and-so said they should be packed away for the season[s]. But I think the stark white blazer compliments my stark white stacked heel stiletto pumps quite well, and it would be unfair to deprive them of their due process rights to be worn anytime they match my ensemble. America proudly wears white all year long, and man.. that flag is fierce.
