Since Monday's post was more of the holiday gift guide genre, I thought today would be a great day to share an outfit with you!  I've been really loving some neutrals lately that are - surprisingly - not black!  Now, I type this while wearing black tights, black boots & a black vest - so let's not get carried away and think that this is an everyday occurrence!  But I have been making a conscious effort to break out of my comfort zone and it seems to be working!

I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving tomorrow!  I'll be enjoying mine here in NYC with my hubby - and with a big giant cupcake for dessert because tomorrow is also my birthday! Yay!! 

Keep up with Opal & Violet!

Are you guys freaking out as much as I am that this is an OUTFIT post?!  For a second there I thought it was never going to happen again!  I literally didn't get a single outfit photographed during the winter, but let's be honest, there really wasn't much to photograph.  The winter was long and it felt like it was never going to end, however, it is finally over! So you'd better believe that I busted out this fantastic floral dress to celebrate mine and Tyler's anniversary last week.  4 years!  Holy crap!  How did 4 years go by so unbelievably fast?!  Can someone let me know how to slow things down a bit?  K, thanks!

So yes, this dress!  This is one of the new dresses from Rent the Runway.  As you guys know, that's where I've been hiding the last few months when I've been too busy to update you here.  And I suppose I'm long overdue to show off some of the amazing pieces we have!  I literally squealed when this Alberta Ferretti dress hit our website and then literally squealed again when we first received it in the showroom.  It's perfect and it completely embodies my current style.  So obviously I had to wear it out for a day long anniversary date with the hubs.  During the afternoon we strolled through Chelsea Market & The High Line and then we ended the night by watching The Realistic Joneses on Broadway.  Aside from countless Marilyn moments created by the ruthless NYC wind, I had a fantastic day in a fantastic dress!
