Casual Glam


midi skirt

Shirt // Skirt // Jacket // Earrings // Bag // Lipstick // Shoes


I'm always into mixing some feminine pieces with a few casual/comfortable ones (that means I steal my hubby's t-shirts way more than he'd like). It not only makes your vibe playful, but the contradiction of the styles adds an element of interest and excitement. This look is one I would gladly wear any day of the week!

Thanks for the great response to Tyler's takeover post on Monday!  I'll make sure to feature more of him here on Opal & Violet. See! You readers always get what you want! ;)

Recent Obsession: Skirts


I've been having some major shopping withdrawals recently.  I'm going to blame it on fashion week for its countless inspiration, but I'm dying to live in some amazing skirts right now.  I want to pair them with t-shirts, sweaters, button ups, and blouses.  I want maxis and midis, sequins and prints.   I just can't get enough! Scroll through the skirt collection above for some of my top picks!

Happy Valentine's Day loves!!

I am so incredibly sorry for the extreme lack of posts lately!! 
The cold that I wrote about on Friday just really kept me from feeling 
and looking my best the past week.  While there is still a touch of cold
hanging on for dear life, I'm feeling much better and am so ready to
be blogging again!  Last night I went out to the Lexington Legends
baseball game for my work "company picnic."  While I'm no
baseball fan, I really enjoyed hanging out with my work
family.  They're the best!

If you're thinking you've seen a lot
of this skirt lately... well, you're right!  This skirt has been 
on major repeat and I'm not going to apologize for it.  It's so
comfy and goes with everything!  For me it was a no brainer to
wear it to the baseball game.  It was such a hot day and I simply
just don't do shorts so a cool breezy skirt was definitely the 
perfect option for me. 

I'm so excited to be featured today on the Southern Blog Society
 page! Head over to their blog and check out which of my favorite
 recent looks they featured!

If you follow me in Instagram then you've captured a little
glimpse into my busy last few days.  Lots of traveling and events
have unfortunately kept me from getting you some real outfit photos
for you. I hope this blurry iPhone pic from yesterday will get us 
through until my life slows down!  Until then, here's a little
 recap of my busy last few days!

Thursday 6.27: Dinner with Chioma from
in a Sequined Life!   I just loved spending time with these
fabulous Lexington girls!  I really think we could've 
talked fashion and blogging all night long!

Friday 6.28: My BFF's Birthday!  Ricky turned 
28 and once I got off work we headed out to watch
Man of Steel.  While it wasn't my favorite superhero
movie by any means, but it was definitely a great 
movie!  I totally recommend checking it out!

Saturday 6.29: Fall Out Boy!  Tyler and I
took Ricky on a little weekend getaway to Indy 
for a FOB concert!  They really put on a fantastic
show!  Tyler counted this concert as his 14th time
seeing them (just mine and Ricky's 2nd!) and he 
thinks it was the best they've ever sounded!

Sunday 6.30: Travel!  We had a very 
leisurely Sunday so after a late breakfast we picked
up a few can'tlivewithout pieces at Loft and H&M 
before we hit the road.  Our trip home was not complete
until we made a trip by the J.Crew Factory store in 
Edinburgh and *gasp* I didn't buy anything!  I
promise I'm trying really hard to be good!

Monday 7.1: Pageant!  I traveled to 
Lincoln County, Kentucky to help/support my
friend Hailey in her pageant and I'm happy to report
that she brought home the crown!  The photo above
is my outfit from the pageant featuring my new Loft
 skirt and H&M hat.  Yes, you're going to be seeing
 a LOT of that hat. Sorry in advance! ;)

Now to catch up on all the laundry! 
Hope you're all having a wonderful week!!

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!!

Like I mentioned on Monday's post, my life has been so hectic!
Shopping has been completely on the back burner for the last little bit
as I've barely had time to think about what I'm wearing. Sad, I know!
So instead of looking at all the new Spring trends, I've been working 
on remixing the pieces I already have in my wardrobe.  From today's 
outfit you've seen the top here, the scarf here, and the skirt here.  
I love how they allcame together now to give an entirely new look!  
How are you remixing your wardrobe this season?
