Graduation season is upon us. While most
parents will be thinking of the ceremony day, if you are a final year student,
you know better, it’s all about Graduation Ball. Or at least outfit wise.
My Graduation Ball or Grad Ball as its
simply known is in a few weeks time, and I can’t express how excited I am. I
got my dress sorted about a month ago, but I know plenty of people haven’t, so
if that one of you, then I’ve put together some outfit ideas to help you chose.
The Statement. This is for the ones who
love to make an impact. The ones who will guarantee to get talked about it.
While it is quite simplistic- it’s all about limited but key pieces. This gorgeous
dress by Alice McCall at ASOS is super stylish, but vamp it up with bold red.
You can’t beat show stopper lips- in all their form! Shoes, bag, and your God
given ones!
Dress- Alice McCall at ASOS
Shoes- Kandee Shoes
Clutch- Lulu Guinness
Lipstick- Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge
The 1920’s Vintage. No one can deny right
now 1920s fashion is hot. The Great Gatsby influence is everywhere, and why shouldn’t
it be, it’s classy and sexy. This is a great outfit especially if your
Graduation Ball is more, longer dress attire. These shoes are perfect, as you don’t
want anything chunky. It’s all about the dainty not chunky excess. However the Pièce de
résistance is this head piece. I’ve had my eye on it for ages (I may even wear
it to my Grad Ball) but unlike headbands, it won’t give you hat hair. Finally who
could forget the moment Daisy came to Jays wearing that stunning Prada cape.
Emulate her style with this less pricey Prada lookalike cutesy of Coast for only £35.
Dress- Needle and Thread at ASOS
Shoes- Kurt Geiger
Cape- Coast
Headpiece- ASOS
The minute I clapped my eyes on this dress
I just wanted it. Only problem is I haven’t got anywhere to wear it to (Anyone
want to invite me to a swanky party?). A little black dress can never fail,
especially if you dress it on the side of glamorous. Think old school Hollywood
glamour. Soft set waves swept over one shoulder, smouldering red lips, and the
classic cat eyeliner flick. Keep accessories simple, with just a hint of colour, and let the whole ensemble
do the work, rather than one piece.
Dress- Miss Selfridge
Heels- Office
Clutch- &Other Stories
You can tell it’s getting close to the end
of exams, as I’m getting more and more into Graduation mode. I can’t wait to
slip on my dress, sashay into the venue, and dance the night away with my
girlfriends; champagne in hand. Any excuse to put my glad rags on.
Let me know if any of you decide to wear
any of these dresses, I’d love to hear what you think. If not, what are you
wearing to Graduation? (Or any other event coming up). Drop me a comment below,
I love hearing from you.
