Still May

No, these photos are not old, snapped weeks and weeks ago and forgotten about, they are quite current, as we've still been having some deceptively chilly days, and truthfully I wish I'd been wearing something more like this to my sister's graduation!

It was right by the water in a tented pavilion, which translated to, everyone was freezing in this March-May weather we've been having. At least it didn't rain! And the ceremony was enjoyable and not overly long. Graduations are always so exciting, and it's wonderful to hear the speakers and get a dose of the optimism of those just starting out, because it's also a reminder that it's never too late to start a new chapter, or a new adventure.

  2. You look great Lydia!
    We just went to a graduation this weekend, and I was thinking the same thing---that women my age need this same kind of speech---the go forth & conquer kind!!

  5. Oh yes, those graduation speeches are the best, they are a morale booster.
    Sorry to hear the graduation was chilly because of the crazy weather.
    Here graduations area always indoors in air conditioner.
    My only graduation that was held outdoors ( and I roasted ) was my high school graduation - these were always done on the gorgeous school front lawn and was kind of a tradition, it was a US school.

  6. After several weeks of wonderfully summery weather, we are back to grey skies and chilly temperatures. I have been back in my trust jeans and sweaters, so for me, this outfit makes perfect sense right now - I'm really just wishing I had the trench coat and lace-up flats to recreate it, to be entirely honest!

  7. I'm sorry about the cold spell (and that you were freezing at the graduation!) but I do love this gorgeous classic look. We had gorgeous weather over the weekend, but now there is TONS of rain in the forecast for the next 10 days... wishing I would have ordered some rain boots this year!

  29. I love this classic look on you. It makes me wish -- almost -- that it was a touch chillier out so I could recreate it!
