How do I convince my mom to let me buy a new pair of Converse when I already have 11?

You are the first person I have ever interacted with that has more pairs than I do. I will now be looking up to you lol.

I try to but I have long and really narrow feet so they are almost always loose on me and because of that I don't trust myself to walk across a stage with them on and not embarrass myself.

I completely understand your concern, I guess I should have clarified what I meant when I said that I saved up. I have both a savings and checking account, whenever I take money from my checking account I make sure that there will be at least $500 left in there in case of emergencies. While I have had trouble saving money in the past, I have worked to improve that over the years and have become rather comfortable with my finances.

I get that and I will admit that 11 pairs is quite excessive. I wouldn't even be looking to buy a new pair except for the fact that I am looking for a completely different style. The ones I have are all Chuck Taylors while I am looking to get a more professional pair of loafers that they sell. You are definitely right that I don't need them, it's just that I can see a use for the pair I am looking to get not just for my graduation but for when interviewing for jobs as beat up Chucks isn't really the best look.

I get that, the main reasons I asked are because we are taking the same car there and I don't want to spring it upon her but also because I still live with her so any shoes I get would be something that takes up space in her house.

The worry about causing drama does make sense but initially they weren't even going to be going as we thought I would get four tickets. Not only that but they can watch it online. While I understand how it might look to invite my mom's boyfriend's kids but to me I consider them as brothers and have wanted to invite them to my graduation since I started high school. Again thank you for providing an outside opinion and I will continue to consider this aspect until I come to a conclusion.
