What to wear to pinning?

We've been told we have to wear all white to our pinning ceremony in May. The official vote was that we wear "something we could wear to work." So, I'm sorta at a loss about what to actually wear. I went yesterday and bought white "scrub" pants that look more like trousers and a white "Scrub" top that looks like a faux wrap top w/ embroidery around the collar and I think it looks nice. But- I feel like that may not be dressy enough for such as an important occasion.

What are others wearing? Do you think scrubs are appropriate, or should I get slacks and a blouse or a suit?

TIA for any opinions.

BTW- our affiliate school is also pinning their nursing students w/ us, and they'll all be wearing blue polo shirts white white pants and a white lab coat. It was suggested we do something similar, but we didn't have a majority vote.

We have to wear all white as well and I'm a little worried. The uniforms I bought are kind of thick but I am afraid my tattoos will show. I don't care if they do but I don't want faculty getting upset....It didn't say anything about this on the guidelines and there are quite a few of us with body art...
