MeetMyNewChapter

Many young people in the modern world will face this day in one way or another...Graduation. Whether you are the one collecting your degree, or the support system behind the graduates, a spot-on outfit is needed for this bizarre occasion. Not only do graduands (a word I only learnt this week as an alternative for undergraduates) prance around for 6 hours (the limited time you have the robes & mortar board for) in silly costumes, but they have to sit through everyone's walk across the stage, shake of the hand & swift exit...sneakily preying for someone to take a little trip & make the time pass quicker.

I may sound like a cynic, however Tuesday was my day. This week I was a graduand who blossomed into a graduate! And I am all in favour of this tradition! Yes, everyone may feel ridiculous at first when the gown in adorned...however, this is only at first. And everyone looks as ridiculous as one another anyway!

After that big build up (much what graduate ceremonies are like) here is my Graduation outfit... 


...
...Red & Black Vintage Dress - COW Vintage...
...Black Cat Eye Sunglasses - Vintage...
...Silver Art Deco-style Drop Earrings - Miss Selfridge...
...Black and chrome bag - COW Vintage (as before)...
...Perspex Heeled Black Sandals - M&S...

I'd love to know what you wore to your graduation...
