what to wear: graduation dresses

Finals may be over but there is one last thing you have to do before you accept your diploma, you have to find the perfect graduation dress! Four long years, countless exams and a bad case of senioritis have all lead up to this special day, so you know you will want to look your best when you walk across that stage.

White dresses have long been a graduation tradition and many girls even choose to wear them when they are required to wear a cap and gown over the dress. The color white is classic, looks great next to a tan and can be worn long past graduation day. So whether you’re going for a traditional white dress or if you are looking to add a bit of texture to your neutral hue, we have picked out three dresses that are absolutely perfect to celebrate your special day in.

Look 1: Kacey Lacy Dress
Eyelet dresses are all the rage right now and we absolutely love this look on Addie. The shift dress by Marienbad isn’t restrictive and can be worn with flat sandals or a pair of wedges if you are looking for extra height. We added aqua earrings to the look to give her ensemble a pop of color. $247.50

Look 2: Sadie Sleeveless Short Dress
This little white dress is so incredibly cute, we can hardly stand it! The woven texture and flared hem give this sweet dress by Drew a touch of sass. We paired this look with wedges and a gold cuff bracelet to create a graduation day ensemble that will turn heads. $299
