Style Icon: Grace Wainwright

12/30/13 | Fashion and Style, Style Icons

I had a great weekend.  One of those weekends I just did not want to end. But really, there is nothing to be sad about because I only have one day of work and then another two day break with my best friend visiting from England for New Years Eve! You will have to wait to hear about that, though, so instead I bring you one blogger and her fabulous closet that makes me smile on this cold Monday.

Grace Wainwright dresses how I wish I dressed in college.  On her blog, A Southern Drawl, she takes a break from her bioengineering degree to show off her great outfits. Whenever BlogLovin tells me she has a new post I am always hesitant to click because I instantly start comparing what she is wearing to what I have on, but hey, you always need people to look up to!

Don’t you just want to raid her closet?

And be her best friend at the same time?

Because I do!
