DailyOutfit: Graduation

Dresses can work beautifully for special family celebrations.  But, not everyone likes a dress -- especially when there's lots of walking to be done.  You need a layer for the morning chill and you definitely don't want to lug around a coat.   But, you don't want to commit to wearing the jacket all day long -- it might get warm.  The outfit, then, is a statement top plus a great jacket and trousers all in a lightweight fabric.  To get more use out of it, this outfit will work equally well as a client meeting outfit in the summer.

REMEMBER to order all of the potential sizes to find the best fit for you AND to insist on a great fit by returning any and all sizes that aren't right.  Jacket fits if you can fully button it.  Adjust sleeves or pant length at the tailor..
