My husband’s sister graduated from college this weekend which is truly a wild concept since I met this kiddo on her 13th birthday. They grow up so incredibly fast and I couldn’t be more proud.
I ended up wearing one of my absolute favorite dresses in the world. It’s a last season from Ann Taylor but it has been holding up as far as trends quite well. I paired it with one of my favorite classic J. Crew blazers and heels.
These heels had a pretty bland matte ribbon when produced by J. Crew. I snagged them at a warehouse sale so the ribbon was missing. Instead of buying the same ribbon, I went for this shiny ribbon as a DIY option. This purse was a no brainer as I had to carry my wallet, my dslr camera and obviously tissues for this special day. I got this purse for a Brooks Brothers steal at 80% off. Gasp!
This is so far withstanding the test of time. I’ve worn it a few ways since purchasing it, including as a skirt. I think this is the simplest and least fussy so far. Anyway, here are some similar pieces for these older season items.

What a fun dress and congrats to your SIL! Jess at Just Jess
Thank you! It’s always a good day when the in laws are in town.
This outfit is classic…one for the books… instagram worthy (can you tell I am loving it). Love how you paired everything. I wish I could stumble upon that pineapple print.
Thank you so much!!! It’s one of the few dresses I needed as soon as it came out. Totally worth setting an alert for on eBay in case anyone lists theirs.
