I have my convocation this week and I am faced with two dilemmas. First of all, What do people wear to these things? I try to recollect my brother's convocation and all I remember is eager parents cheering on their son/daughter and those ugly long robes worn by the graduating class. To resolve this one, I decided to use reverse thinking. Therefore, instead of figuring out what I should wear, I'll first figure out what NOT to wear to the ceremony and go from there. Here is a list I came up with: (Comments)
+ PJs (Don't forget your teddy bear and ur blankie)
+ Shorts and T-shirt (Why not put a bathing suit, while u at it?)
+ Tank Top paired with Jeans and Flip Flops (It's BBQ Season. U got that right!)
+ Formal Dress (Going to a Prom or something?)
+ Top/Dress with a large cleavage (That will definitely score me some points with the boys...and maybe even the profs)
+ Lululemon pants with a Hoodie (I didn't know u are graduating from an Atheltica School?)
After going through the list, I came to a conclusion that wearing something formal with a hint of black would be very appropriate. Does that really tell me anything? Not really. Back to square one.
My second dilemma, seems more solvable and it will probably aid others in similar situations. How do u find ur relatives/friends in a large crowd? With help of a friend, I came up with some witty options. Here are just few suggestions:
+ Make a large sign "I AM HERE" indicating your location. Don't forget to include a downward arrow.
+ Grow few inches taller, so it's easier to pick u out of the crowd. Those 5 inch heels will do the trick. Still not tall enough? Pair it with one of those long Irish hats and ur loved ones will find u in no time
+ Carry a siren with u. Make a sound and people will just follow.
