black-tie

so when you walk around oxford at night, it's hard not to see at least a dozen people wearing formal gowns, for dining hall, balls, etc etc.

last night was my first time in formal wear however - african studies had a black-tie dinner to celebrate our dissertations - huzzah! it was a fab time, and i got to wear this lovely white vintage dress which was perfect for dancing. :)group shot of all african studies, students and professors - in front of the radcliffe camera, classic oxford. (i'm in the back)

the old library of vaults and gardens, at the side of the university chapel, where we had the dinner. gorgeous, eh? classic 16th century.
