How to: Dress for Convocation!

It's that time of year! No not just that Summer is a month away, but it's Convocation season!! 

What are Convocations? Well for those that don't know, it's just another fancy term for graduation :) A couple of my friends are graduating this time around and I thought, "I'm definitely going but man... WHAT am I going to WEAR?" 

First off, graduations aren't just like any other events, it's a special milestone in someone's life. Kind of like a wedding, there's certain unspoken 'attire' for guests and especially for those walking across the stage. I've put together a couple outfits that I think would be appropriate for whether you're attending a convocation as a guest or if you're just wearing it under your gown for your big day!

(Descriptions will be made from Left to Right)

1. Emerald Green One Piece Dress with a Navy Blue Blazer (First picture shown at the very top): A simple one piece dress says a lot about your character. Whether it's skin tight or an a-line dress, it gives off a different vibe. This dress was part of the Elle Fashion line and I bought it in a department store when I was in Korea. The ruffles and chiffon texture of the dress gives it a simple yet elegant look to this A-lined dress. When you cinch it off with a brown belt, you have a casual yet dressed up look for convocation! Why not finish the look off with a pair of basic black heels? I also matched the outfit with a navy blue blazer. Whether you're wearing this look underneath that gown of yours or simply as a guest, you'll definitely stand out!
2. Army Green Chiffon Top with Black Skinny Jeans (First picture on the left from the photo above): This look is definitely more on the casual side of things. I would suggest wearing something like this to a friend's convocation. The chiffon top gives you that dressy, spring/summer look that you might've been going for. To complete the look I would match it with a pair of black skinnies and black heels to give the outfit a chic vibe. If you have some statement jewelry pieces like gold necklaces, envelope purses or rings, I would definitely add it to this outfit for some attention! I got the top from H&M and jeans from Uniqlo.
3. Light Blue Top and Beige Skirt One Piece Dress (Center picture from the photo above): I chose this look because it's casual yet gives a more formal and professional vibe. I wouldn't mind wearing this as an attendee or even if you were to wear it underneath the gown. The look goes both ways! You can also achieve this look by pairing it with a light blouse and a high waisted skirt! My dress happens to be a one piece. The blouse and high waisted skirt would be a perfect look for a new business graduate or perhaps a simplistic look for attending a friend's convocation. I paired the outfit up with a pair of leopard print heels. If your overall look is more casual and simple, make a statement with the heels you're wearing! I got this dress from the korean online shop, Gmarket.
4. White Laced One Piece Dress with a Teal Blue Lining (Picture on the Right from the photo above): This is definitely one of those outfits I'd wear to family member's or perhaps to your boyfriend's convocation! Not that the other looks won't work, but I think this girly, vibrant dress is more suitable for that occasion. The white lace brings a more feminine look to the dress while having a  teal blue undertone, makes it more fun! I completely this look with a pair of black and white tuxedo heels and a brown belt for creating an empire waist effect. I got this dress from H&M.

Well there you have it! Four easy looks for convocations! Good luck and don't forget to Just Bee Yourself! Hope you all take tons of picture to commemorate a friend's or YOUR BIG DAY! :)
