I feel pretty good about my daily outfits. It's these kind of out of the ordinary things that throw me for a loop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218927 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:37:30 +0000 Anonymous 1218927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I wore this sleeveless cotton sheath dress to my niece's hs graduation a few years ago. &nbsp;I thought it looked happy and it was cool in a muggy auditorium.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218925 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:35:34 +0000 kellygirl 1218925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! We posted at the same time, Suz. I will be posting some options soon. My dressy-ish capsule is really in a terrible state. I think my Bermudas are all too worn to pass as dressy since I wear them all summer long. I have a couple of dresses that might work and will post those soon. Having browsed a number of sites, I feel like my dresses all look kind of dated. Not that I have to be current but it's going to be with the hoity toity (for lack of a better term) relatives. I need to get the rest of the troops sorted too. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218924 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:35:16 +0000 Jjsloane 1218924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can imagine that the dress code these days for a HS graduation is all over the board. You always look pulled together so I'm sure you'll be fine. I think keep it covered and weather appropriate and slightly dressy would work perfectly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218911 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:28:00 +0000 kellygirl 1218911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Aida! I guess I could definitely stand to own some pants that aren't khakis or jeans! I love your outfits. I'd probably be better off with the tailored short idea--might be better for the heat. You have given me some great ideas and have confirmed my suspicion that these are still pretty casual events. I can't remember the last hs graduation I went to besides my own and that was several decades back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218905 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 23:23:53 +0000 Suz 1218905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehehe... :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think dressy pants or shorts, as Aida says, could also work really well. So if you have those, why not go for it? I think I go for dresses more in warm weather simply because I tend NOT to wear them throughout our brutal, long winters -- so if I get an opportunity to dress up (even a little) in the warmer months, they are my fall back. I also think you could wear flats or lower heels with a dress or skirt - it's just that I always like a bit of a heel for comfort, myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218828 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:03:39 +0000 kellygirl 1218828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz! Great visuals. I have a dress similar to 1 that would probably work then. I had a feeling that a dress would be most appropriate but I haven't been to a high school grad in ages so wasn't 100% sure. Don't worry about "precious"--I'm allergic to that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218827 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:03:02 +0000 Aida 1218827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm as a pants gal I'd go for trousers or dressy long shorts and a pretty wash-and-wear top with metallic flats. Specific pieces-wise, I'd probably don something like the first look <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0325-28" rel="nofollow">here</a>, or my birthday outfit from last year <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-aida-rachy/page/2" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Now to be fair, this is not an event I've had to attend outside my own and my sister's graduation, so I don't know what's acceptable With a BBQ after, I just know I'd want flat shoes and clothes that move.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218808 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:48:32 +0000 Suz 1218808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a picture. But I think a dress (but not a super fancy one) with a topper and wedge sandals or shoes would do the trick really well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Skirt would also work -- if it were me, I might wear one of my VC tube skirts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know these are not your style, but it sort of gives the flavour. No "precious" feeling fabrics, something you can move in, something that is a bit fun, something you don't mind throwing in the wash afterwards -- yet something feminine and pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wwyw-hs-graduation#post-1218788 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 21:31:58 +0000 kellygirl 1218788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd love a picture of something you feel would be appropriate to wear to a niece's High School graduation. Bonus points if it is suitable for warm weather and can be worn without pumps or fussy shoes There will be a backyard BBQ afterwards if that makes a difference. Thank you! </p>
