GRADUATION TIMES TWO

Today I ventured out to Lincoln with my family, for my sisters graduation. Although she is only two years older than me she has managed to complete a degree in primary education and finish her PGCE whilst I am still deciding what to do.  The ceremony was beautiful, it is held at Lincoln Cathedral. I couldn't help thinking about how much it reminded me of Hogwarts, as all the deans, tutors and graduates wondering around the grounds in their brightly coloured robes and hats. During the ceremony the principal of the university spoke and mentioned a quote which I really found inspiring- it went something like this: 'we are not human beings leading a spiritual life, we are spiritual beings experiencing a human life'.  I love this perspective on humanity and thought I'd share...

However, on a lighter note, below a couple of photos from the day. I decided on wearing a classic Topshop dress in beige with pleated detail, teamed with a 3/4 sleeved fitted black blazer, tights and lace up pumps. I added a skinny black patent belt and an over sized bag to add a slightly more casual feel to the outfit. Dominique wore a black skater dress and her robes and still managed to look as gorgeous as usual!
