Tara has a classic query: "High school graduation is upon us--it's the most important occasion of my life so far, and I don't have a dress! Here's the quintessential dilemma: I think that for this occasion I'd like to invest in a classic black dress (something I can wear on many other occasions), but I'm not sure which one to choose! Do you have any suggestions? There are so many out there, it's a little overwhelming. I'm looking for something classy, but at the same time, I don't want to look like a grandma."
Well, since you're a young'n, we're guessing spending $600+ on an "investment piece" is out of the question. In our opinion, for a basic semi-formal LBD, Banana Republic and J. Crew make classics that will never go out of style. Here are a few of our favorites, which can all be easily changed up with accessories & shoes. Oh, and, of course, congrats on your graduation!
1 - Banana Republic Monogram Mini-Pleat Dress ($150)
2 - J. Crew Silk Tricotine Cecilia Dress ($225)
3 - Banana Republic Monogram Deep Vee Back-Zip Dress ($150)
4 - J. Crew Strapless Silk Taffeta Gracen Dress ($215)
5- See by Chloe Silk Habotai Dance Dress ($385) -
