Utility

One thing I learned when I started All Dolled Up is that my sense of style is pretty repetitive when it comes down to it.  So blogging has been a great exercise for me to push myself to wear things I normally wouldn’t.  But one item that has and always will be a favorite in my closet, is a great utility vest.  And for me personally (all blogging aside), it really doesn’t get any better than a utility vest styled with my favorite leopard pumps, my favorite jeans, and my favorite thermal tunic top.  So if you are looking for an easy, go-to outfit to add to your rotation, this is a great one that is super easy to recreate!

Leopard

There are few things I love more than a good leopard print.  And since you guys went so nuts over this top when I posted it on Instagram last weekend, I wanted to make sure and bring it to the blog.  This top is seriously so fantastic and is quickly becoming one of my very favorite things in my m closet.  So if you are looking for a fun statement top to add to your wardrobe this spring, you can find all of the details below!

Casual Valentine

Whether you are in a relationship or a single gal, I think today’s outfit is a super fun way to dress up for a casual Valentine’s Day date without being too literal.  Plus, I warmly welcome any holiday that gives me an excuse to wear a pair of favorite statement pumps.  And because lace up pumps are going to be such a major trend for Spring and Summer this year, I’ve linked a few of my favorites below!DSC_3970 DSC_3922 DSC_3951 DSC_3929 DSC_3924 DSC_3973 DSC_3956 DSC_3996 DSC_3982 DSC_4001Jacket: Nordstrom (tried and true favorite!) | Top: cabi (if you are interested in ordering this top, I can put you in touch my cabi stylist-just leave a comment below!) | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind | Scarf: scarves.net c/o | Cuff: Stella & Dot | Rings: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker c/o Ditto (try them for one month free with code ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout!) | Pumps: Jeffrey Campbell (sold out), similar, also love these, these, these, and these

Nude

Nude and neutral tones are totally my jam this season.  And this blazer?  It is so cute with the peplum back.  I seriously can’t say enough good things about it. Because if there is one thing I really love, it’s a great fitting, unique jacket with a price tag that doesn’t break the bank (it also comes in black and is only $51!).DSC_3672 DSC_3673 DSC_3709 DSC_3675 DSC_3682 DSC_3710 DSC_3698 DSC_3754 DSC_3747 DSC_3733 DSC_3762Blazer: Lookbook Store c/o (also comes in black!) | Sequin Top: JCrew (on sale!) | Skinnies: AG Farrah | Sunnies: Karen Walker c/o Ditto (try them for one month free with code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at checkout!) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Pumps: Jeffrey Campbell (sold out), almost identical, also love these

Creature Comforts

I was just telling a girlfriend of mine last night that when I started blogging, it made me realize what a creature of habit I am.  I tend to gravitate towards the same types of items and the same kinds of outfits.  So being a blogger has been a great way to force myself out of my comfort zone and try new things.  And today’s look is a great example of that.  A couple of years ago, I never would have tried an outfit like this.  And while it still wouldn’t be my go-to (like yesterday’s outfit!), I love pushing myself to try new trends and new looks.  Afterall, that’s what makes fashion fun and exciting, right?

Personal Favorites

Whether you know me through the blog, or know me in person, then you probably know that I love vests.  I am also a big fan of stripes.  So it should come as no surprise that today’s outfit is a typical go-to uniform for me.  You know those outfits that just feel comfortable?  This is one of those for me. An easy, breezy combo that still feels put together, all while being super comfortable. Perfect for a Monday.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  I don’t know about you guys, but I was so stoked to see Payton and the Broncos win the Super Bowl!!!  Great way to end the weekend.

Happy Monday!

Destroyed Denim

A lot of you ask me for denim recommendations under $100.  So today’s post is for you, ladies!  Whether they are in fashion or not, I always have a few pairs of destroyed denim in my closet.  It’s just a style that I have always loved, and will probably always love, until I’m too old to wear them anymore!  Ha! The pair I’m wearing in today’s post is not only perfectly distressed and super comfy, but they are an all-time favorite of mine.  And the best part?  They are currently fully stocked in all sizes and UNDER $90!!!!!!!!

Mellow Yellow

Contrary to popular belief, pink is my 2nd favorite color.  In fact, it’s yellow that has always had my heart.  So when I saw this coat, I knew it was perfect for me.  Plus, there is nothing better than a candy colored coat to brighten up a dreary winter day.  And for all of you out there who don’t like or can’t wear yellow, you’re in luck, because this also comes in pink, teal, black, and winter white.  PLUS it’s on sale!

Winter Florals

Even though it’s the dead of winter, I can’t help but find myself already wishing for spring.  So I’ve been slowly starting to incorporate some florals and brights back into my wardrobe. And this Free People top is a new favorite!  I have it tied here to make it a little shorter in the front, but it’s a great tunic length and would look perfect (untied) with tights or leggings.

But I’m curious to know, do you guys feel about wearing florals in the winter?
