I can't do that, because it has to be matching skirt and jacket, with appropriately festive-yet-professional blouse underneath.

Apparently. It's such a crock, as most of the female attorneys I know wear exclusively pant suits. Assuredly, there will be a number of female alumni attending in pants. Hell, last year I wore pants and a blouse, no jacket, and was fine. This year, for some reason, they're going all old school. Which is amusing to me because last year, the "look nice whatever that means to you" year the dinner was at a swanky hotel downtown. This year? We're expected to dial back the calendar a few decades, all for a dinner being served not in a hotel, but in some available lobby space on one of the floors of the law school.
