This past weekend marked a crazy milestone for our family. My older sister finished her degree Summa Cum Laude from Stonehill College (she's a double major in Arts Administration and Communications if anyone needs a kick ass curator or grant writer.) I can still remember so vividly how hard I cried when she moved away from home four years ago. We've done everything together, including sharing a room, since I was two years old so for me, not having my best friend around me twenty-four hours a day was the strangest transition I could possibly imagine. It's insane to think that we've already come to the end of that journey when it feels like just yesterday that I thought it would never end.
Before I get too emotional, I'm going to divert the topic to the less heavy side of the day-the clothes. I adore graduation season purely for the many excuses it provides me for wearing pretty sundresses. I always knew that I would wear Lilly Pulitzer, I am, after all, nothing if not a creature of habit, some variation of a sunny shift dress. Sometimes, however, it pays to widen the box a little (I say a little because we both still stayed true to Ms. Pulitzer. Instead of our usual bright summer shades, both my sister and I ended up with lovely navy and gold picks instead.

We got dressed for the ceremony fully expecting to stand out in a sea of bright pinks and oranges and perhaps some pastels-but again we were surprised. As it turns out blue must be having a moment this season because nearly everyone in attendance had opted for cool tones! This sort of incidental coordination certainly makes for some unexpectedly lovely, uniform photos. While around 90% of my wardrobe is navy blue (yes this is how much of my New England based closet is centered around the cold), it was certainly a fun change to see it making an appearance in the warmer weather. How do you feel about cool tones in the summer? Should summer stay sunny?
