The Graduation Dress Search

June 9th is coming faster and faster everyday. Now comes the age old question, What dress am I going to wear? My school has navy blue graduation robes, so sadly, blue is out of the question (it would clash too much), so now I am playing search and find.

Option 1: I love the color red. My skin tone lets me pull it off without too much difficulty, and it is easy to match things to. My only problem with this gorgeous scalloped neck red dress is the fact that pairing it with my navy graduation robe could make it look a little too patriotic for my tast.

Option 2: I love the idea of white, but I don't want it to seem brial at all. Throwing in the little floral designs in blue gives me the hint of blue I love, with the white in a non bridal way, and it wouldn't crash with my robes. Plus, since graduation is in June, it will be on the warmer side, and this dress comes with (thank you!) short sleeves. It's a modest length, and would look classy (and I could rewear it!)

Option 3: This is actually my least favorite of my top three dresses. I love the green, but it seems so plain. There is no sparkle to it, and it comes in a fairly fall/winter color. That being said, I love the length, shape, and sleeves on this dress. It isn't overly dressy, or too casual, and I could rewear it to multiple different things in the near future.

Option 4: This dress is stunning. I love the lace, and the color. The length is perfect, and the short sleeves will do well in the heat. My two issues with it are number one, price ($122, YIKES), and my fear that it won't go with my graduation robes. Its a beautiful color, but I don't think it will look right with navy robes. However, I am so in love with this (mostly because of the back), and am still seriously considering it.

Option 5: (Photo from Pinterest) I love the Tiffany Blue/Sea Green color here. It would blend well with navy, has short sleeves, is an appropriate length, and very summer. Plus the price is very managable ($50, YAY). My only issue is if it looks too conservative. This is the kind of thing I wear to church, and I don't know if compared to my classmates, I will look too conservative.
