It’s finally spring, and you know what that means: graduation! This means parties, ceremonies and a whole lot of food. Around this time, campus is buzzing with a whole new energy. Excitement and anticipation fill the air while fancy dresses and strappy sandals fill the streets. After a long finals week of running on minimal sleep and (most likely) only wearing sweats and T-shirts, graduation season is the perfect time to show off your personal style and prove to your peers that you do clean up well.
This Fashionista chose a beautiful, white shift dress to don at her ceremony. This dress is great to wear under your graduation gown, but not too simple for after the ceremony when the gown comes off. The eyelet fabric really adds some nice detail to this plain dress. For jewelry, this Fashionista added a quirky flair to her look by pairing a Grecian, gold arm cuff with some adorable owl earrings. Although minor details, these pieces speak volumes about her personal style and really add some fun detail to her staple, shift dress. It’s always a good idea to have a stylish handbag with you at all times, and for graduation, it’s great for storing your camera or maybe even some tissues, if you’re feeling sentimental. Some heeled, leather sandals were chosen as the focal point of this outfit. The intricately woven leather makes them the perfect statement piece. These fun sandals are the perfect way to spruce up a drab, shapeless graduation gown. By choosing a lower heel, you are almost guaranteed not to face plant on the way up to receive your diploma.
One Simple Change: Adding a piece of statement jewelry to this simple frock can change the look entirely. Throw on a colorful, chunky necklace or some bright earrings, toss up your hair in a messy ponytail and you’re ready to hit the town with friends to celebrate the past four (or more!) wonderful years at your university!
