Graduation outfit

Am so delighted and proud of DD-just got her Masters results and she got a distinction.

Graduation next month-now need to hunt for an outfit that is both gorgeous and warm! Am a size 10, around 5’5”, a slight tummy. Any suggestions?

Do you generally wear dresses, or more of a trouser person? Where will the graduation be held - big old cathedral, uni hall/theatre? And have you plans for lunch/dinner somewhere afterwards? In general which clothes do you feel more comfortable and yourself in? You definitely don’t want to go out of your comfort zone, but maybe a slightly more “special” version of what you like to wear. It is likely you might even already have something that would be suitable. At this time of year where the a/w clothes are coming back out we often come across items that we’ve completely forgotten that we own.
eta:congrats! Such a proud moment ☺️🥂

I’m a dress kinda girl if I want to feel a bit glam. Graduation will be in an old beautiful hall with champagne reception and posh lunch after

What colours do you suit?

I’m blond with blue eyes, so generally suit pinks, blues, some purple shades that are the pinker side and greens
