Shocked you didn't point out the shoes for the Khaite Nando Jacket fit!! Those flats (?) with an interesting peep toe (??) are to die for!!

Picking occasion outfits is definitely a challenge, all of your photos for a huge day in your life left up to a single fit - at least you could be proud to say it was secondhand :)

I'm so impressed you called out the shoes Jackie - they're incredible! You're so right about finding something secondhand. My fingers are crossed for that blue shorts suit.

Happy Life Event, Tina! Wow, MBA, well done, so proud of you, go kick some ass!

My vote goes to the crinkly lavender dress. I could see this styled so many ways. Suits...eh, I worked in a clothing store 1999-2000, and I wore a suit to work every day so I got a little sick of them. At one point I had 9, including a long dusty green duster jacket with slits to the waist paired with long flared pants. It was so chic and dramatic - I gave it away at least 20 years ago, a deep regret as it would fit me again now.

The vest suits are fun and would be my second choice - I love 70s looks.

Thanks so much for your kind words Sheila! I can see why you're a bit sick of suits, but that green one sounds v intriguing. I'd prefer to buy something secondhand and if I can't find the blue shorts suit, the lavender dress is my second choice - thanks for the vote of confidence on that :) Sending hugs your way 🩷

Thanks so much Maria! This is definitely a weird job market. I hope whoever owns that Khaite suit is wearing it all the time, it's such a great silho.

I would wear either color of the Reformation set. So classic and beautiful. Congratulations on your graduation. May you get the job of your dreams.

I just spit my drink out at TRR lookbook. Have they always done this?! It's the first time I'm seeing it and WOW color me impressed!

Now, back to the point, I love the direction you are going for your graduation. I have long been obsessed with the PS dress that I saw on Lisa Aiken years ago but my favorite choice is the green set. Mostly because it gets you the going-out-top AND a skirt to play with a la Zoe Kravitz.

Oooh, their lookbook is so good. I've seen some of their lookbooks in the past, but nothing quite at this level. I had a feeling you would know that green PS dress from Lisa Aiken ;) You're so right about the green skirt set, the biggest hole in my closet is going out outfits.

Starting my Wednesday morning with fashion is not what most people would guess about me but you get me here and have me deeply invested in your graduation final look. I do have a question on the voting is it what I would wear or what I think you should wear?

Robyn! Thank you for starting your morning with fashion, again you are the best 🥰 I would love to know what you would wear since I know what I'm going to wear :)

Perfect, I would be on the lavender dress vibe for graduation but I am loving the white linen suit (may need to consider something like this for rotation in my future work wardrobe). I do love the blue shorts suit but honestly can’t picture it on myself, I think it would look great with longer legs.

You would look amazing in the lavender dress. And a white linen suit. And the shorts suit!
