For many universities across the country, that time to walk across the stage and collect your diploma has arrived! In a sea of hundreds of people all wearing the same shapeless caps and gowns, how can you find a way to express your own individual style?
Of course you have to keep your gown on for the actual graduation ceremony, but one way to stand out when you can finally unzip it at the end is by wearing a bright floral dress. The bustier top and voluminous tulle bottom make the dress in this Fashionista’s look formal enough for such a big day in front of all your professors and family. At the same time, the large flowers keep the look fun and on trend for summer. They make the dress work from the ceremony to the backyard graduation party. The bright pink and yellow evoke confidence (which you’ll surely have with that brand new degree) and will stand out in each of the many photos you’ll take with family and friends, even when peeking through a long black gown. This Fashionista kept to simple, meaningful jewelry that wouldn’t overpower her or her colorful dress on her big day. This look is truly all about making a single strong impact.
One Simple Change: Whether you’re a graduate or not, you probably know one and might have a graduation party or two to attend. Swap out the wedges in this look for a pair of flats and throw on a classic denim jacket to make it more casual and comfortable for celebratory party-hopping and supporting your classmates.
