Right you lot, i need some help if you will 
Tis my graduation next week, and i will obviously have to wear a silly cape and hat, im limited in the smart clothes department and am not sure what to wear.
We've been reccomended to wear a button up top, which is good because i actually own two fitted shirts.
I decided that a skirt will probably look silly with the cape so opted for trousers, and aside from my scruffy jeans the only trousers i own are plain black.
However!! I cant decide which shirt to go for. I have one black and one white with grey stripes. I sometimes think the white one makes me look like i work in a shop when teamed with black trews. But im scared the black one will make me look like im attending a funeral, or about to suck someones blood (with the cape), so if i wear the black one i thought maybe i could liven it up with a colourful belt. I only own black shoes so i cant liven it up with bright shoes.
Where i need help is deciding what outfit to wear. What do you all reckon? Do the belts look silly? With the white shirt do i look like i work in a shop? Or do all the outfits look hideous?
oh and apparantly i cant not pull a stupid face today hence my sensoring.

moon arcanum, do u think the belts look silly, is that why u prefer the white shirt? I prefer the black shirt as it fits alot better (as you can see) but i will wear the white if people think the belts look silly and i'll look like a goth in all black.
At my graduation last week a lot of girls wore skirts (me included) and it looked good.
Wear shoes that you can walk in easily as you don't want to fall over on stage!
Take safety pins incase you need to re-pin your hood to your gown.
Do the black outfits look stupid?
How about, if i dyed the white shirt purple
The shoes are just comfy flat pumps so no problem walking in them. I dont own heels or i'd be some sort of giant.
Cant remember what colour the hood is though
I have left all my skirts 3 hours away so cant wear one now.
but you need to feel comfortable so wear what you want!
The white shirt comes down lower so you can't see flesh at the sides which is good as it looks formal. But you probably can't tell the difference when you've got the gown on anyway.
It was really really hot with the gown on at mine so you might want to bear that in mind too.
I like number 2 best. Bear in mind you won't see most of it, but the bits that'll poke out will look fab
Cheers, the stripey scarf belt was secretly my fave too. But a dont trust my fashion sense, wasnt sure if it looked a bit 'gothic' with all the black and purple going on
cheers
