You have two options:
1. Cut your nails and wear finger picks (http://www.amazon.com/PICKS-NATIONAL-FINGER-THUMB-BLUEGRASS/dp/B002R2IUEW/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1338526455&sr=1-2)
2. learn to please women with your left hand.

Hmm I’ll take that in to consideration. I’ll try to branch out body-type more. I know I have a tendency to address trends more than fits.
I push J. Crew for three reasons. First, Jenna Lyons is a lesbian and I love her forever. Secondly, there’s actually a lot there for different body types. Their button-ups are great for busty women, the women’s blazers fit my broad...

I think you have to look deep within your heart and decide for yourself when you’re too old to do something. If work is not an issue then no one can make that decision for you.
Also I have no idea how old you are.
Also if you’ve had chemo the official rule is you can do whatever you want with your hair.

Your brother’s graduation is about him so you might not want to draw attention away from him by wearing anything too showy. Also graduations are usually held outside in the burning hot sun. I would suggest a somewhat neutral but cute and LIGHTWEIGHT cotton day dress.
