Lace and Neon

neon top: old navy, lace: F21, jeans: express, belt: hand me down, flats: target, sunnies: tory burch, watch: michael kors, bracelet: banana republic, ring: F21
Lately, I love putting this neon shirt from old navy under everything, and letting it peak out.  I feel like eventually I’ll get over my obsession with this nine dollar shirt, but that might be awhile away. (It kind of looks like the shirt is white in the pictures though–I pinky promise it’s not). 
So I’m currently eating breakfast (more like ate). And I was in the mood for oatmeal so I opened a box of the blueberries and cream oatmeal, mixed it with hot water, and I wish I took a picture of it because it filled up approximately five bites…only.  I need like four packets to fill me up geesh.  Hungry girl problems.
Enjoy a fab weekend! {Word…err more so an abbreviation… of the week: fab.  What an intelligent not-so-word. Luckily, I haven’t said that to any of my engineering professors yet..}

    LOVE the leopard flats!

  5. Marlena says:

    haha use that top for all it's worth! i like it, i think it's a nice, subtle way to use the neon trend. and i especially like how you twisted the belt around it.

    and i totally get your breakfast pang, i take out a salad bowl and fill it with cereal. that's the only way i can guarantee my tummy wont be growling by the time i get off my bus for work. Insert eye roll here.

  6. you look fab!!!
    A minimum of 2 packets of oatmeal…every time…
    have great weekend.

  7. I love the combination of the neon and the lacy top! Very cute! Happy Friday!

  8. I'm also somebody who eats much – I once bought porridge ready-made packages (you only had to add hot water or milk and stirr) but well, it just wasn't enough and I found it way too sweet. So I normally add about 4 spoons of normal oatmel and more milk, so that it's more and not so sweet 😉
    and I love how you combine the two colors, it looks great!

  19. This is a lovely chic outfit Grace – you wear jeans so well!! The pattern of the top is so pretty and you've tied the belt so stylishly. I can't seem to do a knot, only the once-over-and-let-it-poke-out-underneath thing?!! I know what you mean about neon in photos – for some reason it gets overexposed because it's so incredibly bright. I have the same problem, it's a pain!

    Oh and I'm having a giveaway if you might be interested?

    Great surprises here!

  21. LOVE the Tory sunnies! I have been admiring those for quite some time and am tryinnnggg to make myself hold off until I can justify it… and a mid-may happy just isn't cutting it with the husband!

    Okay, I am a LOVER of oatmeal. You cannot…. cannot… do the packets, Grace! Quaker came out with one minute homemade oatmeal… It's amazing. It's like making the real deal except it only takes 1 minute, instead of like, 10. AND, another secret… Get frozen blueberries in the frozen food section and I thaw out a ziplock baggy at a time and have fresh blueberries on top. With, of course, a little butter and brown sugar. SOOOO much better than instant and it's still pretty healthy. OH, and makes a good bit more than that little bag 🙂

    Well, now that the whole bloggin' universe knows I have an odd obsession with oatmeal… I'd like to say, I think the word "fab" is quite…. fab….and should be used far more often than it is. Including engineering projects……

    Hope you're having a great weekend Grace! Love keeping up with your blog! 🙂

    Ooo I love the neon peaking out from the lace and the leopard print shoes are so awesome! So much going on, looks really nice 🙂 hahaha I know right, they should put more oatmeal in the packets otherwise I would eat more than one packet and be all like: gahhh why I am not full yet???!

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.
