What Do I Wear? A Guide to Dressing Appropriately for your SENIOR PROJECT PRESENTATION
Ladies, make sure your pants are not too tight! They should fall straight down from the hips, NOT hug your curves! Cropped pants or capri pants are NOT acceptable.
Skirts and dresses should fall to the knee. Shorter than the knee should be paired with tights so that you are not showing too much skin.
Do not wear shirts that are tight or low cut. These pictures show acceptable tops.
NO sandals NO strappy shoes NO platforms NO extremely high heels Shoes should be Conservative Closed toe or peep toe Low to mid heel or flats
