My present school is big on regalia events.  I'd never bothered wearing regalia before, at any of my previous schools (either it wasn't required, or I skipped the events at which it was).  When I asked about renting vs. buying, I was told renting would be fine.  When I expressed concern about finding the particular color combination I needed, my department chair said "Oh, just get something pretty.  The point is to look pretty."

So my regalia this year probably suggests that I attended Reed College and then pursued a double master's in economics and modern dance in Uganda.  I have no idea.  But look pretty?  You bet.
