if ANYONE turned up at a graduation wearing either Chanel Iman or Tika Sumpters outfits (as shown above) they would look a DAMN GHETTO FOOL!!!
Graduations are supposed to be a celebration of educational achievement. Clothing should be representative of that. Keep the colours to a minimum – it wont be a nightclub environment.

I definitely would wear most of those dresses to the club the night before graduation. When I graduated from Howard Both times I wore all white on graduation day, it’s tradition in my family.
