My Pink Graduation Party Outfit – This Barbie Just Got Her Master’s Degree!

I recently completed my Master of Science in Infectious Disease & Global Health (My 4th degree, God is good!) and had a Barbie-themed graduation party. This, of course, meant that I needed the perfect pink graduation party outfit. I got this pink mesh evening dress covered in pink rhinestones from Ali Express in size large. I also got this long pink slip dress from SheIn to wear underneath because the dress is see-through.

Details on the Feather Boa

I wanted a plush feather boa, and I ordered this one on Ali Express in leather pink. There are two essential things to look for if you’re looking for one that feels luxurious:

It should be made of ostrich feathers. That’s one of the things that makes this boa look expensive and different from a party store boa.
You need to step up the ply. My boa is 15 ply, and basically the higher the ply number, the fuller the boa is going to be. If you get something like a 1 – 3 ply boa, it’s not going to be very full (if you’re looking to wear it as an accessory).

Hair & Accessories

I wanted a high blonde ponytail, so I wore this Outre Maximina unit. It’s a 360 unit, which was perfect for a high ponytail. I got rhinestone ponytail holders from Amazon to add a bit more sparkle. I wore these rose gold platform heels (old from Fashion Nova, I wore them to NYFW last year) and my pink Coach Heart bag to finish my pink graduation party outfit.
