Graduation ceremonies can get unbearably hot. Yet at a recent faculty meeting we were reminded that no one wants to see hairy legs under our robes. That left me with three options:
1) Shave my legs.
2) Suffer.
3) Implement the Graduation Comfort Kit we had joked about in previous years.
Step one seemed simple enough. Cut off the part of the shirt no one sees.
Step two seemed simple, too. Cut off the top half of the pants that no one sees. An added bonus resulting from this step was that I ended up with a nice new pair of wool shorts.
So the kit itself is pretty simple. OK, I wasn't very even with the length of the pantlegs but it doesn't show when I put them on. I thought about sewing in elastic but what could be easier than rubber bands and safety pins!
Enjoy the beach life on the inside, look like a stuffed shirt on the outside. Why didn't I do this years ago?
