SUMMARY

The discussion centers around a personal experience of incorrect attire during Kartini's Day in April 2017. The author, Bagas, recounts wearing a standard school uniform instead of the expected ethnic outfit, which led to feelings of boredom during the event. The lack of prior notification regarding the dress code contributed to this oversight. In 2018, Bagas attempted to adhere to the dress code with a different outfit but still felt it was not fully ethnic.

I had a story when I was incorrectly dressed on Kartini's Day event.

In late April 2017, when I was at grade 10 of high school, I wore my usual school outfit (white shirt and gray long pants). I also brought scheduled textbooks and notebooks in my bag.

At 7:30, I went downstairs and had a ceremony to commemorate Kartini's Day. I saw almost all students (including my classmates) and teachers wore different outfits instead: ethnic outfits (including kebaya). I thought I wasn't be informed about the dress code before this event.

After the ceremony, I watched competitions and contests, from fashion show to make up and cooking contests. I didn't involved in any those games, either, so I felt bored and wanted to go home instead. But I went home after 12:00 noon, unfortunately.

At home, I told to my mom that I should have worn the dress code (ethnic outfit), which then she replied that if the dress code had been informed and notified before, I could hire one for the event.

A year later (2018), I wore white shirt; black long pants; a scarf; and sarung, as suggested by my mom as ethnic outfit. I thought the outfit wasn't really ethnic outfit either, but I wore it anyway. The fashion show contest was relocated to inside two class rooms because of the rain. I didn't join any contests, too.

What do you think about the story above?

Cheers, Bagas.

I dislike the concept of "dress code" in general
