What to Wear: Graduation Whites!

Posted By: KK on 05/10/12 10:54 AM | Categories: What to Wear

The Graduation season is upon us, so of course, we’ve been inundated with requests for what to wear. We love the crispness of white from SAKS.com– so appropriate for both graduates and their guests. Remember to check the weather and plan accordingly and no matter the location, bring a wrap or cardigan for breezy shady spots or overly air-conditioned halls, sunglasses, and a hat to protect you from the sun. For day, wedges are ideal, for their comfort and style, especially on the grass, and a roomy handbag is essential to fit camera, water, and program. What we love about these dresses is how they can go from morning ceremony to evening celebration with a few accessories changes. Just add a Statement Necklace, and a pair of pumps or strappy sandals, and off you go to the head of the class!
