It seems like around every corner is another grad cap balloon or a graduation themed gift card at your favorite store. It is officially graduation season. Grad parties are always fun, a time to celebrate past accomplishments and what’s yet to come. Yet amid all the excitement is that nagging question—what to wear? How many times have you stood in front of your closet, torn between wearing something comfortable or something a little more dressy? This Fashionista has shown us that with maxi dresses, you can do both!
Not only are maxi dresses light and breezy, keeping you comfortable on hot summer days, but they can easily be dressed up or down to match any occasion with only a few accessory adjustments.
This Fashionista chose to accessorize her maxi with a braided black and gold headband, which beautifully pulled in the black of her maxi with her gold jewelry. Choosing headbands that pull in the colors of your outfit is a great way to tie your look together, but don’t be afraid to experiment with other colors, patterns and textures that can help play up your maxi dress. This Fashionista chose to make her headband the focal point of her outfit and she definitely rocks it by wearing it right below her hairline.
She keeps her metals consistent by pairing her gold necklace with a gold watch and an Alex and Ani gold feather bangle. She picked a pair of simple black sandals to complete her look.
One Simple Change: Want to wear you maxi to the formal graduation ceremony before the grad party? Switch out your sandals for a pair of wedges to wear to the ceremony. You’ll be dressed and ready for a rad grad season in no time.
