Dress Options
When choosing a dress for a cooler season ceremony, I am focusing on styles that offer more coverage and fabrics that have more weight and texture.
I like this style and neutral for any type of school color accessories.
Women's Elegant Criss-Cross V Neck Vintage Dress
This is giving me a sophisticated, academic, and seasonally appropriate feel.
Women's Vintage Floral A-Line Dress
It's the perfect amount of formal without being too much. The long sleeves make it great for colder temperatures, and the high low hem is really flattering.
Women's Long Sleeve Ruched Waist Flowy A Line High Low Midi Cocktail Party Dress Black L
The long sleeves make it warm, and the maxi length means you don't have to worry about shivering. It's a dress that feels polished and formal, but still comfortable enough to wear all day.
The Thea Long-Sleeve Twofer Maxi Dress
Overcoat or Wrap
Colder weather cover ups. Even though ceremony is inside, there is still a lot of time spent outdoors on campus, pictures, long walks in parking lots.
Going for one of these if the weather turns colder for graduation. Luckily, indoor ceremony this time of year!
Women's Asymmetrical Belted Wrap Coat
Wrap choices are close to school colors. Considering one of these.
Women's CashTouch Shawl Wrap
Considering one of these too. More lightweight then the others.
Lightweight Metallic Evening Wrap
Skip the bulky jacket that hides your graduation outfit. This wrap is simple and classy, and it adds warmth without the bulk.
Border Wrap
Footwear
I'll be on my feet a lot from the parking lot to the auditorium to the dinner after.
The block heel looks polished and dressy. You can wear these with tights and a winter dress or nice pants. They are the perfect shoe to complete your entire graduation outfit.
Women's Lannie Buckle Strap Block Heel Booties
Knee High Boots look professional and completely scholarly when paired with a winter dress or skirt, and the knee high style gives you extra warmth.
Women's Macey Knee High Boots
These booties are versatile. They look scholarly enough for the ceremony, but they're still stylish for the photos and celebration dinner.
Michael Kors Women's Salem Pointed Toe Booties
Gifts for the Graduate
Skip the gift cards and get them something they can actually use for years.
Family is everything even the one's no longer around. I'll present these to our graduate just before the ceremony.
4 Pcs Graduation Memorial Photo Tassel Pins
The pendant is a subtle way to celebrate the day.
