Irony

Outfits

dress: INC, purse: brahmin, boots: arturo chiang, tights: target, scarf: lilly pulitzer, belt: hand me down, watch: michael kors, blue bracelet: banana (on sale!), pearl bracelet and ring: gifts,
So I completely forgot I took pictures of this outfit and when I randomly found it on my camera I got super excited, because it became one of my favorites.  I think it’s because it makes me feel spring-y and happy, even though I’m wearing primarily black (ironic).
It’s been a nice few days without classes, and I hope everyone had a great St. Patty’s Day, though it seemed like it was a perfect day for awkward.  It was probably those leprechauns.  I had one of those weird encounters where someone walks one way at you, and you walk the same way…and then you move in the same direction they do. Usually, people play it off cool…but let’s be real, I don’t.  I make an awkward chuckle and say “oh you” even though I’ve never met the man in my life.  Also, my hand grazes someone in target as I walk by her.  “Oh sorry, ma’am, didn’t mean to temporarily hold your hand as I’m trying to get to the shoe section.”
On other SERIOUS news, I have finished The Hunger Games trilogy, and feel as if I’ve conquered the world.  For those people who have waited for forever for (uhh that’s a lot of ‘fors’) the movie to come out, I’m only going to have to wait one week: the perks of starting the series late. 
Who’s getting into some March Madness? (Not) me.  Actually, only for the teams that are in Kentucky, because that’s all I can handle.  I’m already trying to pretend I’m cool as it is, don’t add forty other teams on top of it.  Can’t a girl get cut some slack around here?

    Hahahahaha this post made me laugh! I love those very awkward moments with strangers and touching them… I absolutely LOVE that outfit! And the red lips. And that ring.

    This is absolutely my favorite of yours. I love the dot print on that dress and the bright scarf really brings the whole thing to life. The boots give it a cool edge. So, so gorgeous.

    I really love this outfit! It has a hint of spring with the bright scarf! AND: Yay Hunger Games! AND: I actually participated in some basketball brackets this year even though I have NO idea what's going on… turns out I made some good choices and am actually in the lead with my group! Who knew? Haha. Anyway, lovely look! 🙂

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
