Going to a beautiful Mother’s Day brunch? Or have you been invited to a graduation party as a guest, but you’re wondering what to wear? Ladies, here are the three looks that are perfectly suitable and pretty not only as outfits to wear to the graduation ceremony itself but the celebration party afterwards.
Big bonus – all of these outfits can be worn all spring and summer to casual outdoor weddings, summer dinners or Mother’s Day brunches!
Sweater Around Your Shoulders Look
The preppy way to style an outfit is to throw a sweater around your shoulder. It’s both very southern and very northeastern look all at the same time. With the rise of the “quiet luxury” or “how to look like old money look” trend this styling craze has made a roaring comeback.
I tied a striped sweater around my shoulders with a simple white t-shirt dress. Throw on some brown leather slides, grab a summer handbag and you’re dressed in five minutes. The brown leather slides are a great Hermes Oran sandal Dupe!
Using a sweater around your neck is an easy way to look like you put a lot of effort into getting dressed, without actually putting in a lot of effort! Tying a sweater around your shoulders can be done on tank tops, dresses or long sleeve tops.
You can add a striped sweater like I did for a nautical, coastal, preppy vibe. Or add a colorful sweater to dress up a simple dress. The sweater over shoulders look is back and those who love effortless dressing should embrace it!
Classic White Pants & Striped Top
I prefer classic pieces in my closet. Clothes that can be worn with a ton of looks. This French blue and white top is perfection. I love the mandarin collar and half button. It’s a way to spice up a striped shirt and make it special.
Plus this top is perfectly at home with jeans and shorts!
White pants are a must – but why not make them compression pants? Who doesn’t want a bit of help in, well, all areas!
Silver jewelry is beautiful with blue and white. It’s a clean outfit look that looks fresh and pulled together. This silver chain necklace is a bold statement necklace that will get noticed but also a classic enough to be worn for years to come. I bought it in gold and love it!
Add some cork wedge sandals that can be worn with everything – from poolside shoes, to slides to wear to dinner on a beach vacation, or a summer dinner out!
This rattan and leather handbag looks like an Hermes Kelly dupe, and it’s a stunner. Love the fresh mix of rattan and white on this gorgeous spring and summer handbag!
Dressing Up a Shirt Dress
I love a belted waist. It will give you shape. Plus, a belt is another easy way to make it look like you put effort into getting dressed! This belted chambray t-shirt dress is a classic piece you’ll wear to a graduation ceremony or any spring and summer event.
Add a sweater tied around the shoulders, or keep it a simple outfit by adding some pearl and rattan slides (how gorgeous are they!) with a low heal for easy standing and mingling, and some pearl and gold drop earrings.
