I had been eyeing this embroidered smock top for SO long, and for some reason, I just couldn’t pull the trigger to buy it.  It comes in right at under $50, but I still was hung up on the details of this so-called ‘dress’. Yep, you heard that right, it claims to be a ‘dress’ (WHAT?!).  Yeah, that dress could fit an American Girl Doll.  So, I kept thinking to myself: there’s literally no way I can wear that as a dress {I’m 5 foot 9} AND if I wear it as a top, it’s going to look awkwardly long {you know how that goes}.  After deliberating for quite awhile–I’m not kidding, about three weeks–I was like screw it, I’m buying it.

Oh boy, it did NOT disappoint! I had already mentally prepared myself that it was going to be one of those situations where I don’t even bother trying on because I know it’s a lost cause.  I’m so glad that it surpassed my expectations! I actually LOVE it.  I mean, it’s adorable as a top {not a dress}.  Yeah, it’s a little longer than other tops, but it has the perfect amount of length to be considered a ‘smock top‘ rather than a ‘smock dress’.  It’s a gauze-y material, so it’s super light, but somehow, not see-through.  I didn’t wear anything under this bad boy and it was fine.  It’s perfect for those scorching hot days that seem to be a frequent thing here in KY.

Overall verdict: love love love this top.  I love it so much that I bought it in navy…and now I realized that they also have it in black.  {Sorry, wallet}.

Happy happy Tuesday!

    Your photos (and you!) are gorgeous! This top is so pretty, too. I’m a big fan of all white looks, but the pops of red in this look make it even better.

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.
