| denim: F21, shoes: keds, top: banana republic, purse: longchamp, watch: fossil |
I’ve had these keds (I accidentally wrote kids at first…that would’ve been interesting) for a year now, and I’ve purposely walked in mud, scuffed them on the floor, run around like a mad man in them, and yet, they are still just as bright as when I first bought them. But they make me look really tan which is a perk…oh wait, I am really tan (with or without keds).
This is an outfit I wore to class. I have a theory: dress well, test well. It has worked thus far…or so I think.
For those of you who watch the bachelorette (yea yea, another person talking about it): I’m currently watching it as I write this post (on dvr obviously…since dvr makes me one laz-aay person). Don’t get offended that I’m splitting my attention, but clearly I’m doing it for the both of us (I don’t have a reason why, just go with it.) And I think I have a girl crush on Emily. Totally normal, right? (HA normal…what’s that?).
p.s. I felt like using a lot of (parentheses) side notes today.

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.
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.
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.
Is that a hint of sparkle I see on your top? I like it! And if I just made that up and it's not actually sparkly, I apologize.
Very cute [white] Keds! So far they have outsmarted you! 😉

I can't believe how white those year-old keds are… now that is amazing! And they certainly do make you look gorgeously tanned. Love this casual summery outfit on you 🙂

I'm really into sneakers looking so chic and simple and cute with outfits right now. I've seen girls wearing simple white tees with cut-offs and Converse and it's been totally cute. Surprising that my Converse (like your Keds) are still somehow in style! You're adorable.

Ooo I love the shirt, it has such a cool sparkly part! Haha I also like making my sneakers look beat up, but wow the keds are so bright 🙂
you are gorgeous grace! i love the shirt- banana republic is one of my favorite shops 🙂

and thank you for your nice comment earlier. I really like your blog as well…
I think Emily's my favorite bachelor/ette so far. The girl is clearly not a dummy and I appreciate that. I also like a girl who gets things done and she seems like she's no nonsense. The three of us should totally hang out!

Such a pretty, casual chic outfit! 🙂 Love your kicks! You look so tan and I'm so jealous… I have to stay out of the sun this summer because I'm trying laser hair removal on my legs and I have to have four weeks without sun exposure before each appt! Anyway, random tangent… haha you look lovely!!!!

I've never been tan. Ever.
I LOVE this look on you, it's casual yet chic, crisp & fresh
crazy, cos i would have said those keds are brand new! and yes you are very tan! looks great on you. i am really tan too but i hate it 🙁 strangely asian standards of beauty are the opposite of the west and the girls all want to be white as ghosts. "I have a theory: dress well, test well. It has worked thus far…or so I think." i like this slogan. i would even broaden it to just say that when you dress well really everything falls into place. it is about confidence and taking care of yourself. when you dress well you respect yourself and take pride in who you are which means you most likely have self confidence as well. go on with yo bad self, girrrll.

Ahh you do chic white so well! And agree with the previous comment, your tan does look amazing!
Dang, you are SO tan, Grace! And I am super jealous. Is your tan natural or did you use a product (if you did a need to know what it is asap).
I too am obsessed with the Bachelorette and I love Emily. I'm a little sad that she got rid of the biology teacher though, I thought he was cute.

You look summer ready in this outfit! White keds I feel are the perfect shoe to dress down a outfit, go to the beach, or even out for the night if worn with the right outfit! And dont worry about the Bachelorette..doesnt everyone watch it?

haha we are the same person! i've been sucked into the new season of the bachelorette. i seriously want emily to teach me how to do her hair + makeup- she is SO gorgeous, and such a good mama. such an inspiring woman!
also, LOVE your outfit. so summery, i always had keds as a kid, and i still have a soft spot for them. also, SO SO tan. jealous.
Wow, I need to invest in some of those if they'll stay that white. Very cute and classic.
You're soooo lucky of having Banana Republic store in US, too bad there is just one in Paris in France.
By the way, nice outfit, I'm also in love with wearing sneaker this season!
See you xx
Gorgeous! I was just looking at Keds website the other day in search of simple summer tennies! Definitely going to buy now! xo
wow! You are indeed super tan and you have beautiful defined legs to go with it! Those shorts look great on you and the whole outfit makes me wish it was that hot around here (honestly, what's wrong with the weather around here? May is usually a really hot month!!!)
