GRADUATION OUTFIT 1 : LADY LUXE

 ASOS £22 / LAVISH ALICE £38 / TOPSHOP £55

 MISSGUIDED £13.79 / NEXT £50 / TED BAKER £169 

 

Graduation is slowly creeping forward. YAY!

And congratulations to us all :) I can't believe how these last three years have sailed by.
 

So in celebration, this week I'll be picking different styles for graduation outfits with a range of budgets.

 

My first is the simple pencil skirt and blouse, a firm favourite for graduates wanting a outfit that is simple, effortless yet ladylike. An outfit that won't be (lets say) inappropiate on the day.

 

I chose a delicate pink pencil skirt and a white top, so you can mix it up with your favourite ...or just the cheapest ;)

Budget is for those of us coming to the end of our student loans!

Blow out for those nearing a pay day or begging their parents to treat them!

I know I'm wishing for BLOW OUT!!

 

 

Skirt Off.

We've seen the pencil skirts on Roland Mouret S/S 12, Jonathan Saunders collection and Carine Roitfeld herself. Are you falling for the pencil skirt?


Here's a look at the best on the high street...

This Dogtooth Panel Pencil Skirt is just £30 from Topshop. Slimming and Stylish.

Not keen on panels? This one will be perfect for you:

 River Island at £20.00.

Not sure if you're ready for this trend? This low price might do the trick.. £9.99

From New Look.

This Topshop Navy Blue Spotted Pencil Skirt is a dream at £26.00.

My personal favourite from Zara at £25.99.

The pencil skirt is very versatile; yes it does go with the obvious shirt however you can be experimental with layering, a chunky knit cardigan or cashmere jumper. A band tee or sheer blouse.

Tights or Bare Legs?

 Pretty Polly and HOH have some great tights to play around with.

A nod to the trend with another Zara beauty:

A gorgeous alternative for movement and style at £39.99.

Note To Self: Do NOT forget heels!!
