What I Wore: Graduation



Stripe Crepe Shift Dress - Topshop
Rose Gold Watch - Michael Kors
Lipstick - MAC Ruby Woo

Three years have passed so quickly, I know there were moments I thought it would never end and I wouldn't graduate, but I've shown myself. The weather was beautiful, I whacked my pasty pins out, lacquered on the red lippy, and even got my hair cut after three years. Could you tell? I really like it, it's much more voluminous and healthy looking. 

I did wear black wedge heels, and was praying to all the Gods that I would not trip on my way up to the podium, and bless my lucky stars I did not fall flat on my face as I have done in so many dreams recently.  I really loved my dress, it was floaty and simple, despite my dad referring to it as the Newcastle football strip all morning...

You can now call me Little Red BA Hons, squee!

  28. I've a plain black skater dress as my only safe option. I had a new one yesterday for my birthday but I think it'll clash with the red in my graduation cape thing. I might go shopping this week for one x
