All of my GRADUATES – this one is for you!!!!
I truly didn’t realize just how many of you guys were graduating this May until so many of ya’ll reached out looking for dresses. This is such an exciting/pivotal moment in ya’lls lives and it really touched my heart that so many of you guys looked to me for help.
A little fun fact, I’m a very emotional and nostalgic person. Especially when it comes to Graduation. I actually wrote a whole blog post on graduation a few years ago and when I reread it today, it literally made me cry, so there’s that lol. Needless to say, even just thinking about all of you girls who are about to graduate and the mixed emotions of fear and excitement you are all feeling right now, really takes me back.
You should be SO PROUD and I am SO PROUD of all of you!!
Now lets make sure you all look your best!
When in comes to picking a Graduation Dress, there are a few things that you’ll want to keep in mind!
You want to pick something classic and classy.
Whether your graduating from college or high school, Graduation is an honor and a huge accomplishment. This isn’t the time to dress super sexy or overly trendy. Most likely, you’re whole family will be there for you and you’ll be taking lots of photos with them!! You don’t want to be standing next to Grandma looking like you’re going to the club lol. Plus, you want to pick something that you will look back on and think fondly of!! You don’t want to look back at your graduation photos 5 years from now and be mortified over your dress selection.
You’ll want something that fits and that you’ll be comfortable in.
Graduation Day is a long day, so you’ll want to pick something that’s comfortable, fits well and that you won’t mind wearing all day long. This isn’t the time to try and squeeze into a dress that doesn’t fit or to wear that one dress you never felt fully comfortable in. Confidence is the best thing that you could ever wear and trust me, you’ll feel the most confident is something you’re comfortable in.
Don’t feel obligated to wear your schools colors!
I mean if you want too &/or if you just love your schools colors, then you should totally rock them!! Just don’t feel like you have too.
Pick something that screams YOU.
If you love black and don’t feel comfortable in color, then wear black GF!!!! If you are a ruffles all the way kind of girl, then wear all of the ruffles your little heart desires! Don’t pick something that you think you’re supposed to wear. Pick something that you want to wear. At the end of the day, it’s YOUR day.
GRADUATION DRESSES
Any who, I hope you guys like all of my picks and find the perfect dress for your Graduation below!!!
I really tried to get as many styles and price points as possible for you guys!! Then I also have a whole selection at the bottom dedicated to just white and black dresses as well!! I know know most of you guys asked for springy/floral dresses but I know that every school is different and that some schools have a dress code or color requirement!!
