• What I wore to My Brother’s College Graduation

    The day was finally here where my brother would graduate from the University of Illinois with his undergraduate degree. Of course, on big days like that everyone thinks about the logistics of getting people to all of the places they need to go and the work that went into my big brother graduating. However, if you are like me, your first question usually is “What will I wear?” Well, I shared a few ideas with you all not too long ago of what to wear to a spring graduation.

Really this black top is so much more fashion forward because of those two strands that I like to call secret sequins…

So, that is where the search for something that works for both weather types begins! I found this faux shearling sweatshirt by Poof! last fall, but I resisted wearing it during the bitterly cold months because it just wasn’t warm enough. However, since a jacket or coat is no longer necessary when walking around outside, this sweatshirt is just perfect to keep you both warm and cool!
