I had been seeing clothing from Grass Fields all over the internet for years, literally years. At one point, my cousin even sent me a link to a top from them that she thought would look good on me. The clothes were always fly. But I must have been going through a struggle season in my life because every time I saw the clothes, I wasn’t in the position to purchase. And eventually, they slowly faded away from my radar.
Then I read Gabby Sidibe’s autobiography, which I highly, highly recommend. That girl has some stories. After I finished it, I really didn’t want it to be over so I read the acknowledgments, read the jacket cover information, I went to her Instagram etc. And that’s where I found that her dress was from Grass Fields.
I immediately clicked the tag and discovered that I knew and had been admiring the company for years. I like to think that I’m not influenced by celebrities but Gabby rocking that dress made me look that company again.
Right around the time I finished Gabby’s book, my sister, her friends and I were preparing for our trip to Cuba. I promised myself that I wouldn’t be buying any new outfits for the trip but after looking at the site, I knew I had lied to myself. They just had a little bit of everything. I’m particularly into the off-the-shoulder look and their site had plenty of clothes that met that trend. My trip was basically sponsored by the company. I went on the site and went “ham” and despite doing more than I usually do, I still spent $200.
I’ll show you what I bought, and some other extremely admirable qualities about the company on the following pages.
