This plunging maxi dress, y’all. Is it not the most fabulous dress you have ever seen?! It fits like a glove and is stunning for any summertime event.  I wore this gorgeous dress for a dinner al fresco during our last night in Puerto Vallarta! It was the perfect dress for it because the wind was just subtly blowing and it was a fancier dinner than what we typically had on the previous nights.

I ended up snapping these photos of this plunging maxi dress outside of the spa and right next door to the herb garden where we had our dinner.  The blues in the outfit made it perfect to pair with my new Loren Hope jewels in jet iridescent.  I’ve always been a fan of her Abba Earrings for so long and have quite the collection growing because the colors are always just so beautifully vibrant.

I feel like teal, aqua, and any other color in the ‘blue’ family are perfect colors to wear while on vacation.  Tropical yet relaxed.  It was SO humid in Mexico that I had to throw my hair into bun by the end of the day, but I am so surprised by how much I like the hairstyle that I may start wearing it like that more often!

What do y’all think of this plunging maxi dress? Would you wear it to a summer event?

    What a gorgeous look, I love the details and the deep plunge! Real question though, what did you do for a bra?

    • Hahaha well…considering I have literally no boobs…I typically wear the gel cups or the gel nip covers for these kind of items. They’re reusable and pretty affordable. I always wear cut out items and things that show my back during the summer, so those little items allow me to wear whatever kind of silhouette I want!

  9. Elle says:

    So beautiful!!!!!

  10. Amy says:

    LOVE this whole look! Question about the dress… on NastyGal.com the dress looks much lighter, almost a white background. I am literally about to buy this dress but then wondered if you used any filters on the photos to make it seem more saturated? Is it darker/lighter in person? Thanks so much for any insight!!

    Keep up the fabulous posts! xoxo

    • Hi there! it’s definitely not a white background although it looks like it in those Nasty Gal photos. These were taken late in the evening, so the dress does look a little darker than what it really is, but it’s still really vibrant in real life. You can definitely tell it’s aqua/teal in person too! Hope that helps!

    What a jaw dropping dress! It’s amazing – definitely a summer must have!!

  14. Kirsten Schulz says:

    Hey there Grace. I just stumbled upon this post actually trying to find the name of this Nasty Gal dress! Any chance you would be interested in selling? I am dying to find this dress.

    • Grace White says:

      Hi Kirsten! I unfortunately no longer have the dress, but the name of it is Major Scales Plunging Dress if you’d like to check around on ebay or poshmark!! Hope that helps!

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.

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.
