Seriously, you guys!  

My apartment is upside down from packing and 

preparing for a yard sale that we're hoping to sell pretty 

much everything we own in.  The internet hasn't worked 

at my apartment complex in a week. And I've been trying 

to get as much time in with friends and family before we 

say goodbye to Kentucky.  Fingers crossed, posting will 

be more regular from me next week and I have some 

fabulous bloggers lined up to keep you company during 

my actual move.  More details to come.  Please 

just bear with me! :)

Keep up with Opal & Violet!

I love this t-shirt so stinking much. 

I bought it for Tyler a while back but, honestly, I think I get

much more wear out of it than he does.  It just goes with everything.

I loved pairing it with my new comfy skirt that I picked up at Target

recently.  It's such a great, versatile print that I know I'll be remixing 

all Spring and Summer long.  I'm definitely on the hunt for more 

skirts this season.  If you have any recommendations be

sure to leave them in the comments below!!

Have a wonderful week guys!!

You all remember how I was on the hunt for a new watch on this post

last week, right?  Well low and behold I found the gorgeous gold and tortoise 

shell watch featured today on clearance!  Isn't it so fabulous?!  I quickly snatched it up

with the intentions of it being a hold-me-over until I can make up my mind on my next

investment watch.  Who knew picking one could be so difficult?!  So now I might 

 totally have a new love for tortoise shell!!  I'm already eyeing a new phone 

case in the super classy design! Oops! ;)

Did anyone get out and do a little shopping this weekend?  

I did and let me tell you, I was not at all prepared for the immense amount of

holiday shopping that was going on.  I can shop with the best of them, but I'll be honest, 

I may not head towards the shopping centers again until after the holidays!  The one

bright spot in my shopping was when I made my trip to Versona Accessories.

You guys, that store is so great!!  I picked up a couple new necklaces, earrings, 

a handbag, and a laptop case!  Check out tomorrow's post to see a couple 

of those fab new items!  Have an awesome week!

I'm totally obsessed with this color combination!  

While I am all about wearing the typical "Fall colors" this time of year, 

some days I just crave something a little brighter.  Most of the time that 
includes turquoise but lately orange has been just as much of a go-to for me. 
This classic, preppy look of a sweater layered over a button-up is great to wear 

just about anywhere.  Try mixing these same pieces in different colors and 

patterns for a sharp and easy variation that you can wear to work or play! 

What are your favorite bold colors to wear?

Here's a little peek at what I'm wearing today!

It's easy to associate the casual feel of a gingham shirt with jeans and a scarf

 for a comfy weekend look.  Today, however, I've added a statement necklace 

and my favorite pair of glitter shoes to make it appropriate for work. 

 How do you like to wear gingham?

October Opals

                     

There is no way I could make it through the month of October without a little homage to this month's birthstone: the Opal!  I am completely fascinated with the unique beauty of this gorgeous gem and was thrilled to find this truly incredible bracelet (that is unfortunately ridiculously out of my budget - I mean, wow!!) to inspire a dream outfit.  All of these pieces are extremely versatile and the color combination is one of my favorites.  Where would you wear this outfit?

This weather has me really excited for a beautiful Fall in the Bluegrass!  I've been constantly daydreaming of wearing oversized sweaters, big comfy scarves, and boots.  You know, THE boots.  It's highly likely that as you were reading my post mentioning them, I was placing the order. They shipped on Saturday and I am looking forward to smelling that fabulous scent of fresh leather later TODAY!  Just cross your fingers that I have good luck with the fit.  I haven't tried them on and I have the all too common mycalvesaresobigbootsneverfitme syndrome. It's unfortunate really.  However, after reading many reviews, I've got my hopes high that these will work.  If they do, you'll probably be begging me to stop wearing
 them in all my future posts!  

What are you most excited about this Fall?  My friends and I are planning a visit to Boyd Orchards in a few weeks.  I'm hoping to enjoy some apple cider, hay rides, corn mazes, and pumpkin picking.  I have so many exciting plans for pumpkin decorating that I was even  dreaming about it a couple of nights ago!  If my dream comes true then I'll have one fabulously bejeweled pumpkin!  I've decided there is no reason that your Fall decorations - especially your pumpkins - should sacrifice your own personal style.  Expect to see great colors, glitter, sequins, lace, and rhinestones on mine.  Will you be decorating or even carving pumpkins this year?  I'd love to hear your ideas!
