Hi Cait, I bought two outfits, one a nautical inspired dress and I aslo bought a pant suit. Not sure what I will pick depends on the weather. What I really liked was a pair of shoes I bought  they are so cute shoes. Do you really think it's goint to be cold in May, it's beginning to get nice and warm in New York City. What are planning on wearing?

I think I'm going to wear a Ralph Lauren Polo dress, a navy blue one with a white horse or a red horse or those colors for the dress.. ha something with red, white, and blue. ha But the polo dress on me just is comfy fitting but still looks nice, cause they keep saying that there will be a lot of walking and stuff and I guess depending on the weather will depend on a sweater or something. But a lot of the girls are saying that even though it is still cold, they are still wearing their dresses. And our PIR is later then theirs..

 

What do yall think?

NewYorkerLisa-That sounds like a good idea, getting 2 outfits and then deciding when you get there. I think i might end up doing that. A friend of mine went to her husbands PIR in early may last year and she said it was pretty cold. Yeah i heard its getting nice over there in NY, Im originally from there so all of my friends are telling me how great the weather has been! Im jealous!

HisSailor/BFATC- that sounds so cute! You should send me a pic i want to see!

I am trying to decide between 2 outfits right now, I have my Navy themed outfit... White high wasted sailor pants with gold buttons, a red cami and a Navy blue pin striped blazer with matching buttons! Or the fun outfit...a pink dress with black lace tights and a black cardigan. Part of me wants to wear the Navy themed outfit but part of me wants to wear the pink so i stand out, i LOVE the color pink and because my boyfriend loves me in dress's!  I will probably end up in the pink!

What do you guys think?

Your picture is in pink and your boyfriend looks so in love in with you, so I say pink for the gradauation and change to the other in the afternoon. It should be fun and he will love you in both outfits. What about shoes?

If i can find pink flats to match the dress i will but if not then black flats

 

Well before my husband left he asked me to buy a specific colored top/outfit so he could find me at graduation.  I just have to go shopping now!!
I live in Northern Illinois and it's usually warm by the end of May but we've had such cool weather this year who knows.   We had snow last week and the lows are still around 40 and the highs in the 50's so lets hope it gets a little warmer in the next 4 weeks!  :-)
Are we allowed to wear those black hoodies and tee shirts we ordered with their div flag on the back, or is that not dressy enough?
its called Poseidon sportswear. you have to order 3 weeks prior to grad. the shirts have the divisions flag painted on the back. the number is 972-347-6655 you have to leave a message because they are so busy, but they get back to you. email is NavyTees@gmail.com. they will email you an order form.
Bought my outfit today, went with the pink dress! It is so cute!
what does everyone think?
