Graduation day: it’s the growing elephant in the room that no senior wants to acknowledge. When trying to face daunting situations one great way to ease the nerves and get your mind off of things is shopping (which isn’t news to any fashion-lover). Shopping for a graduation outfit to relieve this pre-graduation anxiety is so wonderful because you kill two birds with one stone: your anxiety gets taken care of as does your need for an outfit. Before running out to shop it’s important to set a budget, especially during April in New Orleans when there are nonstop festivals and concerts to go to, but limited funds. A tighter budget need not compromise looking good, thanks to websites like Boohoo.com and Forever21.com that have trendy pieces for cheap. Below are a few graduation outfit options for under $40:
