STYLE SYLLABUS: TURN HEADS ON GRADUATION.

The time has come… strut your stuff across the stage and put your best foot forward. But of course make a statement while doing just that! And no I’m not referring to a fashion show or a casting call… even better, Graduation!

Yes, ladies a lot of people aren’t too sure on what is considered appropriate for a “graduation dress” and we are here to clarify just that. You don't necessarily have to wear a dress either, and if you do decide on a dress ... then it doesn't have to take the typical a-line conservative approach either. Think outside the box! But if you do decide to go typical, then take a few suggestions from the Picky Fashionistas themselves...

1. Tahari Floral Brocade Fit & Flare Dress, $138

Completely appropriate at all costs. This Tahari dress can be found at Nordstrom and even fits into the spring trend with the skater/fit & flare! And you're so not breaking the rules with the vibrant color.. Come on, It’s Spring! The price is completely do-able.. Why not go the extra step for your big day. 

2. Roberto Rodriguez, Graphic Spear, $595

 Yes, this may be a bit pricey but for the high end who is trying to look absolutely stunning .. why not splurge?? The structure and design is classy but completely trendy and I bet it would look stunning on you! Take a chance. It’s so worth it.

3. Zara Dress with Rhinestone Necklace, $80

Classy yet bold. This is a personal fav. You can cover up and still look sophisticated. Zara is very impressive this season and the prices are reasonable.
