I personally I dress like that because I am a fashion influencer but that doesn’t change that I am also a student and should respect the rules and regulations. I didn’t even know it was the vc at first and that’s why I said I was comfortable with what I was wearing. But the vc was nice enough to let me go, we settled everything and he let me go with a smile on his face”
