Graduation - Getting Dressed

Of course we had to do a little photo shoot before graduation.

Tessa found her vintage Lanz dress at her favorite vintage store in Portland.  It fit her perfect and looked darling on her.

 Cali very graciously let Tessa wear her brand new shoes we found at Payless before she even wore them.  But they looked great with the dress and perfect under her graduation gown.  Since all you see of the outfit under the gown is the shoes - the shoes are very important.  I loved the shoes and they totally reminded me of ones I use to wear in high school, just like it!

And then she covered it all up!

Tessa had major issues with her cap.  It wouldn't stay on her head.  With her silky shiny hair and those bangs it just had nowhere to grip!  She ended up holding it onto her head with her hands most of the graduation ceremony.  Not sure why we didn't take any bobby pins!!  Hannah graciously pulled one out of her hair and I walked it down to her in her seat at graduation before the ceremony started but one wasn't quite enough.

But the shoes looked great with the gown!
