Last Friday, we put on our party dresses & dancing shoes and went off to celebrate our coming university graduation. It’s so surreal and definitely bittersweet; while I can’t wait to get started on my career and inch closer to doing things like starting a family, these past five years have been the best of my life thus far and I am sad to leave that behind!

I had a dilemma on what to wear (and a few lovely ladies gave their input on Twitter), but I finally chose an ASOS Black dress (petite version, since sold out) that I picked up several months ago. I probably wouldn’t have paired it with the clutch that I did had I been afforded more options, but I got it last minute at a mall in a small town for a steal because I didn’t have anything that went well with it on me. Either way, it didn’t really matter because we had an amazing time and the last thing on my mind was whether or not I matched!

P.S. I can foresee many you girls liking it, so my friend Tiffany’s dress is from H&M!

Wearing: ASOS Black dress, Aldo clutch, Zara pumps, borrowed earrings

  6. Congratulations on your graduation…although I think one is in order for scoring such a gorgeous dress, too! You look stunning!

  7. HAPPY, HAPPY impending grad, Jen!!!

    You’re so young, but you have everything ahead of you, and so much more well-equipped and ready for success than I was when I graduated (at age 26!)!

    Congrats, darling. I see only greater things from you.

  8. congratulation on your upcoming graduation, I miss Uni and understand your sentiments. Love the ASOS dress, I’m addicted to that site and their amazing options.

  9. That is one great dress on you! Love the details and love the color! Gorgeouuus. I can’t believe you are graduating! I am so terrified of that moment in my life.

  10. Happy grad Jen! You look so fabulous, the dress is perfect!

    (I have the same dress your friend is wearing! :) )

  11. That dress is absolutely stunning! You look gorgeous. I can definitely sympathize with your feelings about gradding…leaving UVic finally was one of the happiest but also one of the most disconcerting moments of my life. I really miss uni and wish all the time that I could go back, but you have to leave it at some point or another. Congrats on your gradding love!

  12. Oooh you look so cute, Jen! I love that shade of that dress, pretty much my favorite color. And your earrings are gorgeous! I love how I scrolled through your post thinking, “I have to find out where she got those shoes” and it’s Zara of all places. I have to come to Canada and do some serious shopping. Zara seems to have the cutest things!

  13. Congrats!! Yes, both dresses are beautiful! I wish I had somewhere to go all dressed up!
