What to Wear: Graduation Dresses

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

I am finally graduating this spring.  I am so excited, for one my family and friends are coming to celebrate with me and two my mom is staying two weeks.  She also agreed to let me dress her for my graduation, (yikes).  My mom does not dress up at all so I can't wait to see what she actually agrees to wear.  I am thinking a nice wrap dress and cute flats, can't go wrong with that. 

Me on the other hand I plan on turning it out the entire weekend, right now I am mostly focused on my graduation dress.  I am sure my school will have some rules on what we can and can't wear but for now these have caught my eye:

















All the dresses pictured are from Dorothy Perkins

The first two are my absolute favorite, I can have two dresses right? Yea I can, it's my day so I am allowed to be a little extra if I want to, lol.

It is tradition to wear white. Tradition. Make sure your shoes are the same color as your robe and wear neutral hose if you chose to wear hose. 
It looks better in the pictures that way. The shoes should not be new but broken in and comfortable to walk in. You don't want new shoes that bind your toes while your waiting to walk across the stage. You might trip. These things are often taped and you will be nervous enough. You really don't want strangers laughing at you in years to come. Trust me on this. I have had 3 graduations and the last one I finally got right. The other 2 are just plain embarrassing. Maybe that's why I kept going to school. To get graduation right.

Congratulations and enjoy your day!!!!

I think you can rock any of them, but the 1st and the 3rd dresses are gorgeous!! 

With graduations they sometimes ask that you wear a certain color shoe, but with your dress since it will be under your robe I don't believe it matters.  I know when my sister graduated from college she wore whatever she wanted under her robe I think they just had to wear black shoes.  But all colleges aren't the same!

Congrats Gurl!!
