OOTD 🤎💙 UPDATED

This afternoon’s look came together after a little outfit experimenting… because not every first try is the look. 😂 I started with my long fringe skirt, but it just wasn’t doing it for me today. So… wardrobe change!

Sometimes styling is all about playing with different combinations until something clicks. 🫶🏻

Today’s winner:
💙 Joh cornflower blue shorts
🤎 Grace & Emma ribbed tank
✨ Diamond statement necklace
🐆 Leopard bow sandals

Don’t ever be afraid to mix colors, textures, and pieces you already own. Some of my favorite outfits happen after I change my mind a couple of times!

And yes, we’ve officially gone from morning coffee to afternoon Diet Coke. 😎🥤

Open until 5 if you need a little styling inspiration or want to come try these Joh shorts for yourself! 💗

OOTD ✔️☕️

Sometimes all you need is a really great basic and one piece that does all the talking. 😎

Today’s look:
🤎 Grace & Emma ribbed tank
🖤 Joh fringe skirt (just wait until you see it move!)
🐆 Anne Klein summer sandals
✨ Finished off with layered jewelry and, of course, coffee in hand.

One thing I love about boutique shopping is finding pieces that don’t just work for one occasion. This skirt can be dressed up for dinner, a concert, date night, or paired with sneakers and a graphic tee for an entirely different vibe.

Come see what’s new! The boutique is full of fresh arrivals, and fall buying is already underway behind the scenes. 🍂

OOTD… featuring my favorite coworker. 🥔🐶

Apparently today’s dress code was ties. 🎀👔

✔️ Me: original Kathryn blouse, wide-leg denim, comfy wedges, coffee in hand.
✔️ Tater: his favorite tie and making sure everyone knows he’s on the clock (or at least supervising).

The boutique is full of fresh arrivals, the AC is cold, and we’re here until 5 if you need a little retail therapy or just want to stop by and say hi!

See y’all soon! 💗

PSA: I refuse to believe stadium bags have to look stadium-ish. ❤️💛

Wrap a twilly around the handle. Add a gold monogram charm. Pair it with the cutest new Grace & Emma striped denim, and suddenly you’ve got a look that’s ready for football games, concerts, college Saturdays, and every clear-bag event on your calendar! 🎉

Because around here, even the “required” accessories deserve a little personality! 😉

These striped jeans are SO good…
✔️ Soft denim
✔️ Wide-leg fit
✔️ Drawstring waist
✔️ The perfect mix of polished and comfortable

Then finish it off with a clear bag that’s anything but ordinary!

At Opal & Viv’s, I don’t just sell clothes—I style the whole outfit. That’s the fun part. 💗

Open today 10–5.
Come let me show you how to make the everyday details a little more fabulous. 🫶🏻

What day is it? 😵‍💫😂

After a house full of family, a wonderful holiday weekend, and lots of laughter…I’m back at the boutique and honestly had to think for a second what day it was! ☕️💕

Today’s OOTD is one of those “old favorites meet new favorites” looks! 😎

🤍 Wasabi + Mint perfect V-neck pocket tee
🌸 Paparazzi floral pants (an Opal & Viv’s Year One favorite that I’m still reaching for!)
☕️ Coffee: absolutely required.
🐾 Boutique greeter: Tater, already on patrol.

That’s the beauty of building a wardrobe you love, you can mix pieces you’ve had for years with something new and it still feels fresh! 🫶🏻

I’m here until 5 today if you need a little styling, a little shopping, or just someone else to remind you what day it is. 😉💗

Well the holiday weekend was AWESOME & FULL!!! 🇺🇸❤️

Our house was full of family and friends through yesterday, my heart is full, my dishwasher has officially filed a complaint and today I’m easing back into boutique life. 😂

I may be running on coffee and good memories, but I couldn’t wait to get back to styling!

Today’s little stack is making me happy…
✨ New Risen denim
✨ A little stripe knit
✨ The prettiest twilly for that extra finishing touch

Sometimes all it takes is one great pair of jeans and one fun accessory to make getting dressed feel easy again! 🫶🏻

Come see me this week! I’ve missed y’all. 💗

💗 Sometimes God writes the sweetest little stories💗

Today one of my high school classmates from Atwater High (Go Falcons! 🦅) walked through the doors of Opal & Viv’s all the way from my hometown in California! 💙💙💙

Michelle is staying at the very place that first made me fall in love with Cedar Creek Lake, the place that planted the seed for me to move here and even the place where I got married🥹

The last time we saw each other was at a Giants vs. Dodgers game in the Bay Area. 🧡💙
Today? We were laughing together in my little boutique in East Texas!

Of course I had to send her welcome her with an Opal & Viv’s visor… in Dodger blue 💙… even though she’s a Giants fan. 😂⚾️ (I’m calling it a peace offering.)

It’s funny how life works. You never know who God is going to put back into your path or how many miles He’ll bring people to reconnect. 🫶🏻

Thanks for stopping in, Michelle! Seeing a familiar face from “home” made my day! ❤️

Life is funny… and God is so, so good. 😊
