What shoes & accessories to wear to a high school graduation?

What shoes & accessories to wear to a high school graduation? My daughter is graduating in June from HS as Valedictorian. I am a light skinned African female. My dress is a tea length one shoulder fuchsia with tulle. I want to stand out.

Congratulations on your daughters graduation from high school and being selected as Valedictorian! You must be extremely proud. Your tea length, one shoulder, fuchsia color dress with tulle sounds awesome. However it seems a little bit dressy for a high school graduation. The focus and attention should be on your daughter. This is a very special event in her life. To look chic it is better to be under dressed and let her be in the spotlight.

What can a guest wear to a graduation ceremony?
A graduation ceremony can take place at different times of the year, at different venues, and different times of the day. In addition who is graduating, a kindergartener, grade or high schooler or college student? Will you be in photos with the graduate? Will you be attending an event afterward? All of these things have to be taken into account when deciding what to wear to a graduation ceremony.

Winter or spring graduations require different clothing as well as if the graduation will be held inside or outside (rain or shine). Usually you can dress more casually for morning and early afternoon graduations. Something like a skirt or pants and blouse  or sweater or a dress with flats or pumps. If the graduation is for a college graduate held late in the day followed by a cocktail party or dinner you can wear dressy separates or a LBD. The goal is that you should look nice and be comfortable no matter what you wear.

The Little Black Dress – The Wardrobe Essential
“The Little Black Dress” has been described as sophisticated, sexy, provocative, chic, elegant, practical, seductive, correct, and ageless. The fashion designer, Christian Dior, said ” You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it on almost any occasion. A little black frock is essential to a woman’s wardrobe.” What’s great about “The Little Black Dress” is that it looks fabulous with or without jewelry. You can wear a scarf with it for an interesting effect and it doesn’t show dirt if you take it traveling. In addition black is slimming so you’ll look a few pounds less when wearing it. * The Duchess of Windsor
