OOTD: Graduation

This post should've been written ages ago but I've been so busy! Back in July, I travelled up to Portsmouth for my boyfriend Jamie's graduation. The night before we stayed nearby at the De Veres hotel, New Place. It was a beautiful building surrounded by gardens, and we made sure we got full use out of the pool, sauna and jacuzzi!

For the graduation ceremony I decided to wear the same AX Paris dress that I wore to my graduation last year. I teamed it with my favourite black faux-suede heels and a mock-crock clutch, both from New Look.

 

Jamie won an award for the best work placement, so after the ceremony we were invited to a buffet lunch before the awards ceremony. I am always anxious about buffets as usually there is a lack of vegetarian food, not to mention vegan food. I did manage to find quite a bit to eat though, such as cheese and tomato pizza (I'm still not fully vegan yet), onion bhajis, vegetable samosas, tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole, and some peanuts. There was a selection of fruit dipped in chocolate as well, but I was surprisingly too full to have any! Looking back I would have had enough vegan food to not have the pizza, but I will get there one day :)
