VIDEO: Get Ready With Me- My College Graduation

I FINALLY graduated college! I still cannot believe it happened. It’s been such a long awaited journey, and I can’t wait to get the rest of my life going. I had graduation last Saturday the 9th, and I wanted to show you all the outfit, makeup, and hair I wore. I filmed this a few days prior, which I’m so glad I did because I was super busy non-stop since Thursday with family being here. It was such a blast though! I love dressing up for spring occasions because I can wear pastels and bright colors- my favorites!

For this makeup look, I wanted to pull in the cool pink/purple tones from the print on my dress. This look is perfect for any spring day as well! And it is totally wearable since I didn’t go too dramatic on the eyes.

I’m obsessed with this dress from the Lauren Conrad line at Kohl’s! They have it in so many different colors, I almost bought the ivory/multi-colored one, but decided one the mint. I paired it with some super comfy wedge sandals and statement earrings. For my actual graduation, I also wore my new Michael Kors watch that I got as a graduation present (not pictured here, but click here to check it out on my Insta).
