I was embarrassingly underdressed

We had a Christmas photo shoot for our class (I am a graduate student). We had photos done in front of a nice building. I turned up in an old jumper, black jeans and converse shoes whereas everyone else was dressed in corporate gear (suits, ties, nice dresses and heels or brogues). I stuck out like a sore thumb and I am so embarrassed! I saw the photos and because I am wearing white and everyone else was wearing grey, navy, black I was also very eye catching. I keep cringing inside. The memo was to dress nice but I thought wearing a suit would be overkill for the Christmas photo so I wore a jumper and jeans instead.
Do you think you would be cringing ?

If you buy a dress for 15 dollars the person sewing it didn't get paid anything approaching a living wage. Cheap clothes are cheap because someone else - usually a woman - is paying a price in unrewarded labour for you.

You don't know what off-price retail is, do you?
