A Post Brought to You From My Overflowing Closet

Ahh, fall.  My favorite time of year.  Football, changing leaves, football, crisp weather, football...I love everything about it.  With the arrival of my favorite season comes the semiannual running of Keeneland.  There is nothing more Lexington than getting all dolled up and heading to the track for a few Bloody Mary's and trifectas.  More often than not, I only win on the drinks, but I still will throw a few bucks towards a well named pony.  The best part of Keeneland (you know, besides the whole beauty of horse racing and supporting our state's economy) is people watching.  By people watching, I really mean checking out all the other outfits!  So in the spirit of Lexington's best dressed event, I thought I'd share some of what is going on in my fall wardrobe.  I'm all about scarves, a pair of flats and a well fitting pair of jeans.  It's my seasonal style go to outfit.




But there is something I need to come clean about...  I'm a scarf junkie.  I have a serious problem.  But the first step is admitting you have a problem, right?  So I'm taking that step.  Without further ado, my scarf collection...


I know, it's ridiculous.  So ridiculous that you can't even see all the scarves because they're covered up with other scarves.  I told you I have a problem.  And don't even talk to me about the shoes in the background.  That only shows the tip of the iceberg, the other 3/4 are in another closet.  But I digress...


Riley is thinking "Seriously, Mom, enough with the shopping."

So anyway, this post is coming across as way too superficial, but my point was to hold myself accountable for my addiction and to quit pinning cute outfits on Pinterest that lead to shopping.  And now you all are my witnesses.  So next time I tell you "I'm looking for something to go with blah, blah, blah," interrupt me!  Tell me no!  Remove my debit card from my wallet!  (Hahahaha, good luck with that...)  But really, just be my friend and tell me that I don't need anything else to put in my closet.  Not that I have the room. Old houses are notorious for having small closets...

So on that note, I'm off to decorate for Halloween (another great part of fall)!  I've got to get it done tonight because this weekend is going to be crazy, off the hook, insanity!  Stay tuned for details!  Happy weekend!
