I bet you will find lots of other occasions to wear this dress/outfit too as well - weddings etc. It has a timeless look!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-dress-update-with-shoes-and-pics#post-83187 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:15:16 +0000 Dashrashi 83187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore elastic waist shorts and a tank top to my graduation under my robes, along with an awesome pair of green leather slingback sandals. It was so hot I ended up unzipping the top of the robe and just letting my tank top straps hang out. I changed into a dress for the receptions, but you are way more put-together than I was. However, the shoes did get a good response. When we received our diplomas, our dean would lean over while shaking our hands and say something to us privately. When it was my turn, she turned her head and said, as her parting words to me after four years, "GREAT shoes." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-dress-update-with-shoes-and-pics#post-83123 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:46:23 +0000 Kari 83123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dawn, that sounds awesome, and your shoes will definitely make a statement under your robe! I love the color of shoes &#38; dress together.</p> <p>A cream clutch sounds nice. I don't know whether this is something you're concerned about, but during my graduation I borrowed a small, flat crossbody purse from my mom that I could wear underneath my robes and keep just the bare essentials in. It was barely noticeable so I didn't have to worry about one more thing in my hands. Just an idea in case this is something on your mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-dress-update-with-shoes-and-pics#post-83112 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:34:37 +0000 Debora 83112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely!

Faux pearls sound like the perfect touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-dress-update-with-shoes-and-pics#post-83100 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 20:20:41 +0000 Louise 83100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good. Love the idea of a cream clutch- any chance of a close up of the shoes? At first i thought they were brown which seemed a bit 'heavy' then i noticed in your write up they are purple x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-dress-update-with-shoes-and-pics#post-83076 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:40:58 +0000 Dawn 83076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your suggestions in the previous thread ( <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possible-graduation-dress-with-pics?replies=16" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=16</a> ) about how to accessorise my graduation dress. I picked up some shoes and a skinny belt at the weekend that I think works with the dress. </p> <p>Photo of the shoes and belt with the dress are here: <a href="http://adressandabike.wordpress.com/2009/07/30/graduation-dress-round-2/" rel="nofollow">http://adressandabike.wordpres.....s-round-2/</a></p> <p>I need to pick up some sort of necklace or bracelet- maybe faux pearls as I can't afford the real deal. And I still need to get the dress shortened.</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p>
