Graduation Dress

"What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human 

contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language." 

- Miuccia Prada 

Dress - Ginger Fizz 

I love the style and the floral print on the dress I chose for my graduation it's so pretty, girly and perfect for a smart occasion as it isn't very revealing. The material has a silky feel which makes it very lightweight, (a must in the abnormally hot weather we are having in UK at the moment) especially as I was going to have to wear a huge gown over it. 

Deciding on a dress took a very long time as i'm quite picky and I feel that graduation is almost as important as your wedding day, it's a day where the pictures and memories will be kept forever and you don't want to remember yourself looking horrific. I decided it was definitely best to pick something classic and timeless, and I also wanted a lighter coloured dress as it would stand out under the gown, compliment my darker skin tone and be more suitable in the heat. 

These were my other choices :- 

1.  TFNC Libby embellished dress

2. Mango animal print dress

3. French Connection animal mechanical dress 

4. Elise Ryan embroidered lace peplum dress

OOTD - Dress of the jungle

Heels- H&M// Dress-H&M 

I adore this dress and have wanted it since it was full price at £19.99, I just never got round to

buying it but I am so happy about that now as I managed to get it on sale for just £10 :). I love the

pattern and that there's so much going on in the print making it extremely eye catching, from my experience I can guarantee people will be instantly drawn to it and many compliments received. A great thing about the dress is that due to it's complexity it can be easily just thrown on with any neutral heels and it would seem like a lot of effort was made to put the outfit together 

I've previously talked about the H&M conscious collection which uses more sustainable materials such as organic cotton and recycled polyester making it very eco-friendly. Most items in the range (mainly in store) feature tropical, leafy and mirrored patterns which are extremely on trend, these styles are seen everywhere at the moment and especially stores such as Zara and Mango.

OOTD - Patterned Trousers

Heels - H&M// Trouser - Matalan (similar 1,2,3,4)// Top- Mango (similar here)// Bag - Vintage

I literally live in leggings, so I love changing it up occasionally and wearing some vibrant trousers. Bright colours and prints are a must in the summer,this used to only apply to statement jewelry, dresses and tops,but I love how the bright pattern trend has transferred to trousers. 

They look very classy and put together with a plain simple top and some heels. 

I got these trousers from Matalan for just £4 (becoming quite the successful bargain hunter).

 This trend was first seen on the catwalks, showcased by designers such as Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim and I for one am delighted that its trickled down to the high street with Zara, Topshop and H&M in particular stocking many different patterns and colours.

To sum-up bright printed trousers-

 I'ts like standing out in a subtle way (a very skilled achievement)
