Hello my graduation beauties!
Whether you are graduating high
school or college you are going to need a fabulous dress under that awful
graduation robe. I had a horrible time finding
the perfect graduation outfit. Either I
found the perfect shoes or I found the perfect dress. I finally decided on a dress but I’m still
looking for the perfect shoes to finish the outfit. Many of you know I have been planning on
wearing the same shoes I did when I graduated high school back in 2009 just for
sentimental reasons. And because they
are hot shoes! But after much consideration
I decided that wearing heels on a football field is not practical (more on
shoes at the end of this post).
Last weekend my mom surprised me
with two new dresses that will be perfect for any summer occasion – graduation,
weddings, nice dinner out, etc. Also,
today I found a few more while out shopping.
I thought I would share these with you so you could get an idea of the
styles that are available this season.
*All of these dresses are Jersey
knit material or very similar. They are
stretchy and comfortable. If it helps I
am a size medium in all of these dresses.
1. Cache: Prism Stud Dress- $148.00
I love the collar and
the shade of pink of this dress. The
small detail at the waist helps to accentuate and show off your curves.
2. New York & Company: Matte Jersey Wrap Dress- $23.47
I love, love, love
this dress! Although the blue is not my
normal shade of cobalt blue it is still fabulous. The tie at the waist is fabulous because you
have the opportunity to pull it as tight or as loose as you want.
3.Cache: Lace up Shoulder Dress- $158.00
I am not a fan of
this dress in the coral but I do think this is a fierce dress in the bright
blue and in the black. My mom and I did
decide that because the detail on the dress is gold the black dress may be a
bit too formal for graduation. But in
the bright tropical blue it is perfect for a spring/ summer graduation!
4. Cache: Lace Up Sheath Dress- $168.00
Another fabulous dress from
Cache. Again, my mom and I decided it
may be a bit too formal for graduation but this one is so cute. I love the lace detail down the side. There are great shoes at Dillard’s that would
be perfect for this dress. So if you are
interested, you would not have a problem finding shoes to compliment your new
dress.
5. New York & Company: Knot Shoulder Matte Jersey Dress- $29.97
I have this dress in
a bright tangerine! I’m pretty sure this
is the dress I will be wearing to graduation.
I’m excited to search for some fabulous shoes! I love the dainty shoulder knot. It’s cute and it adds a small detail to the
top of the dress. I’m not a fan of this
one in purple, but I was not able to find it in orange online.
When getting ready for the big day there are a
few things to keep in mind when putting together the finishing touches.
1. If you are graduating on a football
field consider cute wedges instead of heels.
I know I would not want to ruin a new pair of shoes by the heel going
down in the ground and getting dirty.
Wedges tend to be more comfortable anyway. So if you will be standing a lot they may be
the perfect shoe for you.
2. You never know when it is going to
be windy outside so you should always be prepared for the worst. Pack a small bottle of hairspray and a comb
in a small purse and leave it with your family.
If you need a quick touch up before pictures you have everything you
need.
3. SPANX are a must for everyone
regardless of size when dressing up, especially in summer’s lighter weight
fabrics. Proper foundation pieces such
as SPANX allow your clothes to lay nicely and glide over your body. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I can promise you that on my graduation day I
will be rocking a pair of extra strength SPANX.
Please do not just throw on a dress without proper undergarments. Either purchase a full slip, shorts or even
the underwear. Not only will you feel
great, no one will see your panty line.
(Oh and in a jersey knit dress you can see the outline of a thong! Buy some SPANX! You will thank me later!) SPANX are a girl’s best friend!
I know this was a long post, but
thanks for sticking it out. I hope you
had a great weekend and a fabulous Easter.
Be on the lookout for more fun posts.
Be Fierce, Be Fabulous, Be You and remember, nice girls always finish
first.
