For my school, graduation is an incredibly ceremonial affair (as I imagine it is elsewhere) and comes with a number of traditions. One is senior white; senior ladies are expected to have a white dress to wear to senior events and graduation, as the female graduation gown is white and anything other than a white dress would show through.
I think I speak for a lot of other girls when I say that the search for the perfect white dress was an object of great concern. In a sense, it's a little like a culmination of the development of your style throughout high school (I'd say all the girls I know, myself included, have come a long way since freshman year). I know it was really important to me to find a white dress that really showed off my personal style and would still stand out amid a sea of white.
I'd like to say that I succeeded :)
After much stressing and deliberation, I settled on a dress from (you guessed it) ASOS. It was very unique and unlike any of the dresses I saw on other girls at senior functions, which made me happy :)
It was quite affordable and turned out to be a very flattering fit. I loved the details like the dip in the back and the multiple cross-over straps, although they made the dress a little impractical at times.
It was a fairly revealing dress and not one I would usually wear to school, but most senior white dresses break school dress code anyway, and I figured that would make it a better summer dress. My boyfriend said he really liked it on me and in general no one had any objections. It'll be a great dress for when it gets hot and I know I'll get a lot of wear out of it this summer.

I'm not the only one that stresses about dresses for such occasions, am I?
Until later,Annika
