Austin, Outfits

The Graduate

Banana Republic dress (on sale!) // Kate Spade wedges (love the similar bow detail on these) // Michele Mini Urban watch // David Yurman amethyst, pearl cuffs and buckle bracelet
I did it! Officially a TexasEx, I am a graduate from the University of Texas with a double major in broadcast journalism and political communications. I wanted to be comfortable through the lengthy ceremony under the oh so lovely polyester gown, so I opted for this cool cotton dress and a comfortable, yet chic, pair of wedges.
It’s been a whirlwind, but I’ve finally come back to Earth from the high of the milestone of a weekend and my wonderfully relaxing trip to Florida. Now comes time to prepare for next Monday when I begin my first job as a college grad. Hope you’re having a marvelous week! xx
