Not an order mistake, apparent colour variation.
What accessories!?
Its mid thigh, strapless, skater style block colour....think hot, Barbie pink.
Its for a graduation in September.
In my 20s, 5ft 2 with blond hair (want to avoid looking like Barbie!) . not a fan of wedges.
Trying to think through options before I go through the hassle of sending it back and looking again.

AGH I have a new requirement for the dress - a loose waist.

Also I think ASOS have 20% off today if you order via the app.

That's nice too!
Its hard as its just DP and me going so no one is really interested in RL, and as already shown DP isn't very helpful.

OK I've no links for you (loads of nice things already posted). I just wanted to say, I work next door to where our graduation ceremonies happen and I must have seen just about every kind of outfit going. Some people wouldn't look out of place at a wedding but others look like they're going straight out clubbing afterwards. It's why I love watching - it's fascinating!

The only thing I would say is that whole families go along so steer clear of anything you wouldn't want your partner's parents/grandparents/uncles or aunts to see you in. But other than that, I wouldn't get too anxious.

Of course I can only speak for this particular university (in a northern city). It's possible that other places are more formal.

And its plain so I could wear my bright shoes rather than having to buy new plain ones......I'd practically be saving money!

I love the £7.99 stripy H&M one and the first floral DP one.

The HoC one is lovely - I want to buy it for work but it wouldn't suit my colouring.

plus you could wear in winter too with a jacket

Though a dress like that would be an investment item......maybe worthy of getting someone to alter it for me ......... (anyone got spare change, its for a good cause Grin !?)

I do love the house of cards one.....but i've never pulled off a pencil skirt. Sad as I'm short they all come down far on my leg and make me out of proportion.

Don't think the watermelon one I've linked to could be described as chic! H&m options are all good OP
