What Decade Do You Prefer?
For the 32nd Annual Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Conference with a Through the Decades theme.
👗👔Your attire should be a mix of casual, school spirit, and themed elements. Choose an outfit inspired by different decades, such as the 1950s with high-waisted trousers and a leather jacket, or the 1980s with acid wash jeans and a graphic T-shirt. Don’t forget to incorporate your school spirit by wearing your school’s colors or logo on accessories like scarves or hats. For themed accessories, consider retro sunglasses, funky socks, or statement belts. Plus, get ready for some extra excitement as we’ll be having a contest for the best dressed at the dinner dance. Whether you’re channeling the 1960s with peace sign accessories or the 1990s with scrunchies and choker necklaces, have fun with your outfit while maintaining professionalism for the conference setting.
