@ericasdoyle: 🎓 REGALIA COLOR STORY & SYMBOLISM For my commencement in July, graduates are required to wear the traditional black and red regalia. As a Fashion Stylist, I respected the assignment. I just added my own version asap. 😂 Rather than focusing on the required colors, I built my custom regalia around a softer academic palette inspired by Psychology, achievement, leadership, and personal growth. 🧠 Brain Patch | Blush, Buttercream & Sage The piece that started it all. I purchased this patch before completing my degree as motivation. Long before graduation day, it became a visual reminder of the goal. Every other detail was styled around it. 🤎 Chocolate Brown Gown Rich, grounded, and timeless. The chocolate tone created the perfect foundation for the softer colors layered throughout the design. 🧈 Buttercream Hood The centerpiece of the look. The warm buttercream tone became the canvas for every patch, cord, medal, and symbol representing my academic journey. Traditionally represents the degree earned and academic discipline. For me, it also helped tie together the color story and symbolism throughout the entire look. 🎗️Double Buttercream Honor Cord Represents graduating Magna Cum Laude with a 3.88 GPA. One of the most meaningful academic distinctions incorporated into the design. 🎨 Pastel Academic Cords | Sage, Lavender, Peach & Buttercream Represent my Media & Technology concentration and Dean's List recognition throughout my degree program. They also became an important part of the overall color story, bringing softness and personality to the regalia. 💙 SCLA Patch & Medallion | Cornflower Blue, White & Gold Represents scholarship, leadership, achievement, and professional growth. 💜 Psychology Symbol (Ψ) | Lavender The universal symbol of Psychology and a direct representation of my degree. 🌿 Sigma Alpha Pi (ΣΑΠ) | Sage Green Represents leadership, achievement, and personal development. 🏅 Academic Medallions | Antique Gold Represent academic honors, leadership, scholarship, and achievement earned throughout my educational journey. 📸 Custom Tassel Charm Features a photo of my grandfather, allowing a meaningful piece of family history to be present on such important days. ✨ CUSTOM COLOR PALETTE Buttercream • Sage • Lavender • Peach • Cornflower Blue • Antique Gold • Chocolate Brown 🎓✨ I wanted my regalia to feel less like a regular robot human uniform and more like a reflection of my journey. #PsychologyGraduate #CustomRegalia #MagnaCumLaude #FashionAndPsychology #DeanList
