Graduation Time!

It's that time of year again when many people celebrate their academic success and attend their graduation! I graduated 2 years ago from college and I was super excited about my ceremony, as well as spending time with my friends and family after. Plus, you have summer to look forward to!  

Here are some outfits that I came up with to wear underneath your gown. I know that during the ceremony, you'll be zipping up your gown, but you always have pictures afterwards and dinner/parties. Enjoy!


Look 1
Dress-Forever 21. Shoes-Payless. 
Most of the time, graduation gowns are dark blue or black, so you could wear a bright color to add some fun to your outfit! I chose this teal dress to wear underneath and it would be great to wear to dinner or something afterwards. I love this color and the nude mesh top! 




Look 2
Top-Fashion City. Skirt-Macys. Shoes-Target. Necklace-Charlotte Russe. 
If you want more of a business or sophisticated look, here's a way to work with that. I chose this bright yellow top for a fun pop of color and paired it with a pencil skirt. It's sophisticated and put together. Throw on a necklace to complete the look. 




 Look 3
Dress-Forever21. Necklace-Forever21. Shoes-Payless. Bracelets-H&M
And for those that want a Springy feminine look, throw on a summer dress and strappy heels. I chose this ruffled blue polka dot dress and some fun heels for this look. Have fun with your accessories with bracelets and a necklace. 





I hope you are all proud of yourself for your accomplishments in school! So now you can spread your wings and take the next step in life!! Congrats!

  6. The polka dot dress is adorable on you, that one is definitely my favorite look! Our gowns were rented for graduation and we had to give it back afterwards!

  7. haha the last picture is so cute! I think wearing something bright underneath is definitely a great idea- with the gown it prevents you from looking like a big sack of darkness lol!
