We’re getting down to the wire with just over a week until hundreds of UConn collegiettes will be walking across the stage and flipping our tassels to the left. While we know that we’ll be a sea of black gowns and silly hats during the ceremony, what about the hidden outfits beneath the giant gown?

Our outfits are a way to show off our personalities and personal style on one of the most important days of our lives.  Mom and Dad are sure to want a million pictures to document the day and will show them off to distant aunts and friends for years to come so why not look our best?

At a loss for what to wear? Here are a few ideas before you head down 84 to Buckland Hills for a little study break shopping session.

I’m leaning towards the “bright” or “chic” looks myself.  Happy shopping, collegiettes, and congratulations!

 

Currently a senior at the University of Connecticut, Grace McMorrow is pursuing a degree in Journalism and Communications.  From a young age she could be found sitting in a comfy corner devouring a book or filling up a journal and her love of words has only grown with age. She's learned to embrace her awkward, quirky nature once she learned being like Mia Thermopolis or Jessica Day isn't all that bad. Grace tends to spend her free time staying up to date on pop culture, obsessing over fictional characters, and daydreaming about her next faraway travel destination.
