Designer Handbag Hack

Ok, confession time.  I LOVE handbags.  Like, seriously love them.  But what I don’t love, are the crazy high price points.  And while I can score pretty much anything for a good deal (it’s my hidden talent!), I’ve found that it’s nearly impossible to get an authentic designer bag at a discount.

So I couldn’t have been more thrilled to discover Trendlee.  Not only do they buy and sell gently used designer bags (and I’m talking all of the current coveted brands and styles), but they authenticate everything, so you never have to worry about whether or not you’re getting the real deal.  I mean seriously, how gorgeous is this pink Prada?  And I swear, if I didn’t know better, I would think that it’s brand new.  It is in absolutely flawless condition.  So be sure to swing by their site to check out their inventory (they add new bags all the time!).  AND be sure to enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout to save 5% off of your order!!!

The Bomb

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of a great surplus jacket.  And you know what else I love?  A good bomber jacket.  I really find that this time of year, jackets are just my jam.  Whether you wear one with a dress, or style it back to jeans, jackets are the quintessential layering piece for the always unpredictable Spring weather!DSC_5376 DSC_5375 DSC_5409 DSC_5437 DSC_5431 DSC_5403 DSC_5399 DSC_5424 DSC_5414 DSC_5469Jacket: Make Me Chic c/o (wearing a size small for reference)

Denim

Today’s outfit is a little out of my wheelhouse.  But since I love a good chambray shirt (and have a few in my closet that are all fairly similar), I love that this one is totally different from anything else I own.  The longer length in the front makes it feel a bit dressier than your typical chambray, but since it’s denim, it’s totally cool and casual for any occasion.  A perfect of example of business in the front, party in the back! But I want to know, are you guys still into the chambray trend this season?

Hope you guys are having a great start to your week!  It went from 70 degrees here to snowing yesterday in the course of about 2 hours.  So it’s kind of feeling like winter is back-at least for a few days.  And I’m definitely NOT feeling it.  Bring on Spring!

xoxo,

Abby

 

 

 

Pastels

As soon as the temps begin to warm up, and the clocks spring forward, I always start thinking about what I want to wear for Easter.  And today’s outfit would be a great option for an Easter dinner or brunch, or even a more casual church service. Because if anything says Spring in my book, it’s a pretty pale shade of pastel pink, and a light wash denim jacket.DSC_5031 DSC_4946 DSC_4974 DSC_4957 DSC_4964 DSC_4969 DSC_4945 DSC_5014 DSC_4959 DSC_4996 DSC_5021Jacket: JCrew (on sale!)

Favorites

Not all outfits are created equal.  There are always some that I love more than others, and this is definitely one of those.  Perhaps it’s because this dress reminds me of something that I wore when I auditioned for collegiate music programs back in the day, or perhaps it’s because it incorporates so many of my favorite things (surplus vest, yellow pumps, Panama hat, dress with pockets, etc.) into one look.  Whatever the reason, this is just one of those outfits that really feels like “me”, and one I can’t wait to wear again!

Cardi

I love a good cardigan.  And while I don’t tend to think of black when I think of Spring and Summer trends, I think it’s safe to say that black is going to be an important element in our wardrobes in the coming season.  So it’s either a great time to pull out your favorite basics (like a staple black cardi), or it’s a good time to stock up!DSC_5145 DSC_5148 DSC_5184 DSC_5164 DSC_5171 DSC_5158 DSC_5150 DSC_5177 DSC_5209 DSC_5206 DSC_5216

Cheers to the almost weekend, friends!

Denim Vest

Another day, another vest.  Or so seems to go my wardrobe rotation these days.  But really, I just can’t help it.  Vests are the perfect piece to throw on this time of year for a little extra layering.  Plus, they add just the right amount of interest to an outfit to make you look extra put together.  So even though I know I’ve told you guys a million times, I’ll say it again, every gal needs a great denim vest in her wardrobe!DSC_5037DSC_5132DSC_5075 DSC_5045 DSC_5062 DSC_5067 DSC_5056 DSC_5089 DSC_5108 DSC_5087 DSC_5114Top: ASOS (love this and it’s only $35!)

Bag: Tory Burch

Boots: Aldo (old), my other favorite boots

Hope you guys are having a good week.  I am finally starting to feel a little bit better.  And thank goodness, because I am changing up my hair today!  Going to go longer and lighter for the Spring/Summer season.  Be sure to follow along on Snapchat (alldolledupblog) for a sneak peek!

Statement Piece

You guys.  I have wanted this coat for SO long.  I have admired it, put it in my shopping cart about a million times, and finally took the plunge.  And while the weather has been nice here in the SLC for the past couple of weeks, there is still plenty of chilly weather ahead of us (it snowed on Sunday!).  And not only is this coat the perfect layering piece for all of that in-between weather, but it’s also a perfect statement piece for any wardrobe.  So if you’re like me and have been eyeing this stunner for a while, I would totally recommend it (how perfect is it for Easter Sunday?).  Plus it’s on sale right now too!

P.S. Sorry for the crazy hair again in today’s post!  It has been SO windy here! Ugh!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flower Power

I love a bold floral print.  Especially when mixed with a good stripe.  It has been one of my favorite ways to print mix for years, and I don’t see myself tiring of this combo anytime soon.  So if you are still feeling on the fence, or unsure about how to print mix, pairing a bright floral back to a stripe is a really easy place to start.

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I was sick in bed, so my weekend was pretty uneventful, to say the least.  I can’t remember the last time I was down for the count like that.  No fun at all.  Hoping I’ll feel back to normal this week.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

xoxo,

Abby

P.S. And please excuse my crazy hair in these photos! It was super windy when we were shooting!

 

 

 

Stripes

Stripes, peplum, and jackets.  Three of my very favorite things.  So when I saw this cute little number (for under $20, no less), I knew it was meant to be.  Not only is this a perfect piece for Spring, but it’s a great item to have in your closet to just grab and go.  Gotta love pieces that make getting dressed easy!
