What to wear for a spring graduation

Graduation season is upon us! 

I, for one, am really excited to celebrate my husband's graduation from law school - it's a huge accomplishment and I couldn't be more proud of him. This weekend will be chock-full of celebratory events, from graduation parties to cocktail hours to the graduation itself! 

When you're choosing a dress for your own graduation or for a loved one's, you have to keep a few things in mind: what the weather will be like, how fancy the after-parties will be, and what vibe you want to go for. When I graduated, I wore a little pink dress with some killer heels (since those were all that would show under my graduation gown), but I had friends who were much more casual than I was (for example, one chose to wear a jumpsuit). Be true to your style and have fun with your look! 

I decided that for my husband's graduation, I wanted to wear a dress that would be light enough for a hot day but that still had sleeves since my arms tend to get cold no matter what the season. 

I recently signed up for Rent the Runway Unlimited because I wanted to try more clothes that were currently available so that my subscribers could actually purchase what I show in my blog posts, and I'm loving it! Because I don't want to fill my closet with clothing that I might only wear a couple of times, I thought that renting my clothes would be a more sustainable option. The clothing they have on their website is truly beautiful, and if you're the kind of person who likes to try new outfits every month, this might be a really good fit for you. If you're interested in trying their program, click this link to get $30 off your first order! 

I scrolled through the Rent the Runway website and came across this Tanya Taylor dress. It is so beautiful and well-made, and the ruching on the bodice makes it really flattering. I also loved the color scheme - this dress can easily transition from day to night, and it really is springy (rather than summery) because of the depth of the colors. This dress also plays with one of my number one fashion rules: how to strategically show skin in a tasteful way. By pairing a shorter skirt with an entirely covered top, you look really tasteful! I did find that this dress runs slightly big - so if you're unsure what size to go with, I would recommend sizing down. 

To make sure that my look was daytime appropriate, I decided to rent this purse - it's by Kate Spade, and I thought it was simply too cute to pass up! The navy leather detailing ties it to the color of the dress, but the wicker makes it feel light and perfect for spring weather. The shoes are a favorite of mine that I've been loving from DSW for months now, and they were the perfect addition to this look. They are flattering and would look great with a graduation gown, and they're comfortable to walk in as well. That's an important rule: if you're walking for graduation, choose a pair of shoes that you can walk comfortably in!  

Last but not least, I paired a silver cuff, a pair of blue geometric earrings,  and a gold initial necklace with this look. I thought this dress was such a showstopper that I only wanted to enhance it, not distract from it. But wearing a bold bracelet with a graduation gown is always a good idea since that might be the one accessory that will show beneath your graduation gown! 

And that's the finished look! I can't wait to wear it to my husband's graduation. What are you planning on wearing to any graduations that you may be attending this season? What's your favorite part of this look? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for explaining that we should consider the weather when dressing for our own graduation. I need to buy a graduation stole and find an outfit that matches. Your article provided some great tips to keep in mind as I choose an outfit!

I love your advice to be true to your style and have fun with your look. My daughter is graduating soon and I want to get her something special for the day. I'll look for something that goes with my daughter's style, of course.

you must choose the type of king and queen shirt and the size of each one. There are shirts of all sizes. Subsequently, it is time to think about the design or phrase that will take the garment

Most of the clothes they sell there actually came from other countries. Some are even branded. You just need to browse all clothing racks because there are many clothes that you will love. They have clothes that are being sold in malls, but they sell it for a cheaper price!

Thank you. I mean if someone wants to buy brand names let them, but why must they always brag and put down the generic brands for supposedly being of “lower quality.” I’m not one to have the latest and greatest electronics. All that matters for me is that it works, I never really cared for the HDTV’s, the high definition stereos and the like.

I cannot imagine how a restaurant manager will demand that the servers wear high heels! This job is so demanding. You spend hours and hours on your feet, walking around and carrying heavy trays! Doing this in high heels is torture!.

Chanel replicas can be incredibly good. You can do a free Chanel serial number check and get an idea of the handbag's authenticity.
