Green and Fuschia

sweater: F21, skirt: target, green button down: loft, belt: thrifted, watch: michael kors, bracelet: banana republic, clutch: my grandma’s (i’m really not kidding), shoes: BCBG, fuschia lipstick: I want to say revlon…I’ll correct if it’s not

Contrary to the last post, I have a lot to say today so bear with me.  First, my good friend, Maggie (remember this post — uh yea, that awkward gal..), she’s deserting me for Italian and Parisian men on Saturday, and gallivanting off to Europe for four weeks.  Don’t worry about me, I’ll just be here. In Kentucky. Again. Shocker.

Awkward story of the day: you know when you’re driving, yea? Yea. And you end up going the exact same speed (unintentionally, to begin with of course) as the car beside you? Yea? Yea. Well, that nice little incident occurred today to me. Except, I kept egging it on, because I thought it was funny. Moral of the story: it’s not funny, it’s just awkward; I learned that after a few awkwardly long minutes.

Second awkward story of the day: I believe I’ve mentioned my kickboxing instructor to you all before (George…his name is chad, but george suits him better –he resembles George Clooney). He thought I was…younger than I actually am….I won’t specify how young. How appalling? I mean I know I’m still young, but George, come on. So I called him an old man the whole time, and told him that he’s behind in the times.  Maybe, next Wednesday, I’ll bring him some adult diapers.  I handled this insult well, no?

Also, in these pictures, I’ve noticed that I have like four different natural parts.  The more the merrier.

    Haha, love what you shared in your writing today xD Along with your outfit of course! I love the peek of green underneath the striped sweater. Very chic <3
    I wish I had a place to travel to this summer…sigh. If only I could afford to go on an out-of-the-country trip!
    Also, I was giggling throughout the awkward part about driving. Oh man, yes, do I know! This actually just happened to me recently. Some guy was doing this to me though, and wow, it really is awkward. xD

    I love this outfit! The button down under the boatneck sweater is unexpected, yet oh so chic!
    Also, I laughed out loud at the adult diapers, so thanks for that.

    I love how you layered the emerald green top underneath…it really stands out against the black top and skirt!

    People always think I'm in HS, which is 10 years younger than I actually am so I can relate. I'm now curious to see a photo of your instructor. I think you should take one for the blog so we can do a side by side comparison with George Clooney 🙂

    Haha, I enjoyed reading this post, I'm sorry its at the cost of your awkward moments. Love this look, it doubles as chic and sophisticated and also a little relaxed.

  12. Louisa says:

    I loved reading this! Ah awkward moments…I got confused the other day going into a club and told the bouncer I was younger than I actually am. As you do. When I corrected myself he looked at me like I was slightly crazy! Love the look, the clutch is so cute! Your grandma has good taste.

  13. Rachel Lynne says:

    Love this outfit, so so cute! 🙂 The colors in it are great!

    Haha! I know! My husband hates when I do that while I'm driving but I feel like I'm playing Mario Kart or something…lol:) Glad I'm not alone! You are seriously the CUTEST. Love your style!

  15. Marlena says:

    Aw, how exciting for your friend! At least you can live vicariously through her pictures 🙂

    And the George bit made me laugh- I'm almost scared to ask how young. I mean, I wouldn't peg you for in you teens so maybe he really is behind the times.

    And I love your random pops of color, you always look so classy!

  16. Nav says:

    love the colors in the outfit, very classy!

  17. Love the business cash (I want this to have a g or j or z in it somewhere to mimic how I'd say it, but that looked weird) look here. Very cute and professional!

    FYI: the necklace on my blog…it was ten bucks on eBay. I bought it from a top-rated seller in China. Boom. You should get one! 🙂

  18. haha…cute post. I particularly relate to your second story…I have to admit…I've done the "egg on" driving side-by-side…only because it seems the other driver really wants to "go at it." But…I'm just thinking "this isn't necessary but I'll play along."

    As I finished writing that..I kind of feel that I should stop playing along…

    xo,

  19. Ashley says:

    Um…I'm OBSESSED with this outfit. I love the striped top with the pop of green under. Seriously, can I borrow it? 🙂

  26. I hate when you get stuck driving the same speed as someone. I always wonder "Do they know me?" or "Are they trying to get my attention to tell me I have a flat tire or something?" But it's always to awkward to glance over!!!

    Love that green button-up, lovely color!

  27. Danielle says:

  31. Megan says:

    You look SO pretty! Love the layering.

    I HATE when cars are driving the same speed alongside me. I get so nervous and awkward and can't help but keep looking over at them.

  38. i know i've told you before, but i seriously LOVE your style! you know how to mix classics like no ones business 🙂 and i love the fuchsia lip!

    don't feel too bad, since i'm so petite, I get mistaken for a youngin all the time. i think when we're actually old it'll pay off 😉

  39. Joyce says:

    Oo I love the bit of green in this outfit and your lipstick color is so pretty 🙂 and ahahhaaa i don't drive (yet!) but that does seem like it would be pretty awkward.

  40. wonderful look. i like the outfit so much and it suits you so well. the background is also amazing for this look. the green colour <3

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.
