Black and White

On September 9, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

It doesn’t matter the season, or what’s on trend for the year. Black and white is always one of my very favorite combinations. Especially when paired with a bright lip for a little pop of color. Not only is it a timeless combo, but a look everyone can wear.

LIPS: Trout Pout by Butter London

So, when I was scheduling blog posts this week, I didn’t realize that I was posting the same jacket in two different colors in back to back posts! Seriously people, that is HOW GOOD this jacket is. I literally wear it with everything. So do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one. You can thank me later! 🙂

Happy Hump Day!

Leather and Lace

On September 8, 2015September 7, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love this time of year when I can transition my summer dresses into the Fall season. And even more than that, I love that I don’t have to put my white items away after Labor Day! Because as perfect as this white lace dress was to wear during the summer months, I actually prefer it dressed up with Fall ready accessories. And if you didn’t buy this FANTASTIC faux leather jacket last year (it is my absolute FAVORITE), it’s not too late, because Nordstrom brought it back again this season. It really is just that good (and it’s under $100)!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Can you believe we are back to another work week already??? I think ALL weekends should be at least three days long, don’t you?

Simple

Believe it or not, sometimes I have no idea what to wear. Honestly, I think we all have those days where we just stand in our closets completely blank, not really knowing where to start. So when I find myself having one of those moments, I’ve found that sometimes the best solution is to go back to basics and go with what I “know”. For me, that is a simple top (usually a tank), a favorite pair of jeans, and a pair of pumps. It’s an outfit I always feel good in and it’s typically appropriate for any occasion. Plus, it’s a great blank canvas to change-up with a fun necklace, statement pumps, or other great accessories!

Transition

You guys! Can you believe it’s September already? Holy cow! Where the heck did summer go? And while there is part of me that always hates to leave the summer months behind, I certainly do love Fall. Especially Fall fashion! And if you know me in real life, or have followed my blog for very long, then you know my love for military vests during the Fall season. And this year they are back again and bigger than ever! So if you didn’t snag one last year, you can shop my picks below (all under $100!)! A vest is DEFINITELY something versatile that every gal should have in her closet this season!

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should follow me @alldolledupblog), then you might have seen my post about these gorgeous Prada sunnies. I LOVE designer sunglasses, but hate the expensive price tag. So when I discovered Ditto, I knew it was perfect for me. You can rent a pair of DESIGNER sunglasses (think Prada, Karen Walker, Ray-Ban, Illesteva, etc.) for just $19/month (they even have prescription!)! You also get free shipping and can change out your sunnies as often as you want. How amazing is that??? And even better??? Try it for one month FREE by using code: ALLDOLLEDUP at check out! ENJOY!

All About Those Shoes

On August 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have been wanting these shoes for a long time, but was a little unsure about the price tag. So after adding them to my Nordie’s shopping bag about 50 times over the last couple of months, I finally decided to go for it. And you know what? I am SO glad that I did. Not only are they super comfortable but they go with WAY more than I thought they would.

In fact, I wore them while I was in Seattle this week for meetings and literally had co-workers and people on the street stopping me to ask where they were from! Plus, since they are a perfect mix between a bootie and shoe, they are a great transitional piece for Fall!

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have fun plans to enjoy the last few days of summer. I’ve been traveling like crazy, so am just excited to have the chance to sleep in my own bed for a few nights!

Off-The-Shoulder

On August 25, 2015August 25, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you follow along on Instagram (alldolledupblog), or Snapchat (alldolledupblog), then you know that J and I were on vacation in Montana last week. Of course I had good intentions to take a lot of blog photos while were there, but it was insanely smokey from all of the fires, and truth be told, we were having too much fun to work! Ha! But I did manage to get some photos of this outfit, which is what I wore to a family brunch on Sunday.

I am obsessed with this off the shoulder top because it is so comfy and flowy-a slight departure from a lot of the tops in my closet. And while I have been having fun styling it with shorts, I can’t wait to wear it with long denim and booties in the Fall. So fear not, my friends, styled the right way, you can definitely transition your off-the-shoulder tops and dresses into the Fall season!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I headed straight to Seattle from vacation for a week long leadership summit. And while I am looking forward to an inspirational week, I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed again!

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer Dresses

On August 19, 2015August 18, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am and always have been a jeans and t-shirt kind of a girl. But last summer, I made an effort to start wearing more dresses. Especially during the summer months. And you know what? It is definitely something that has stuck. I find myself wearing more and more dresses these days without even making a conscious effort to do so. And this easy, breezy swing dress from Express is at the top of my list. I first found the long sleeve version this spring (which you can see how I styled it here), and then found it in sleeveless stripes, and now in this gorgeous cobalt blue. It is definitely a go-to in my wardrobe and as I head out on vacation today, you can guarantee it’s packed neatly in my suitcase!

Dress: Express (on major sale!), also LOVE this | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Cuff: Stella & Dot (can’t stop wearing this!) | Ring: Macy’s | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff, on major sale in this color | Heels: DV by Dolce Vita (on sale for UNDER $30!!), just bought these (ah-mazing and worth every penny!)

Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Happy hump day!

T-Shirt Dress

I am a huge fan of t-shirt dresses. And I have been especially loving this one lately. First of all, it’s striped (duh!), second, the high low hem-line makes it really unique, and last but not least, it’s under $10! Say what?? Don’t you just love a good deal on a great closet staple? I know I certainly do. PLUS, this is another great example of a piece that is perfect for now and later!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you follow me on Insta (if you don’t, you can follow me here: alldolledupblog), then you know we were in Steamboat Springs, CO for a bike race. We had SUCH a great time! Hard to have to get back to reality today.

Happy Monday, friends!

Burgundy

On August 11, 2015August 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

When it comes to shopping, I am not very good at purchasing items in advance for an upcoming season. Instead, I am more of a buy now, wear now kind of girl. So this time of year gets to be a little tricky for me. While August is one of my favorite times to shop because of all of the amazing deals, summer is also running short on time, so I want to be careful and not purchase things that I am going to have to put away in a few weeks. So instead, I look for transitional items to add to my wardrobe that I can wear now and wear later. And this dress is a great example. I had been eyeing it in a bright pink color for quite sometime, but when it recently went on sale, I ultimately decided to buy it in burgundy because not only can I wear it now, but it will look great layered with leopard, and booties, and jackets and sweaters!

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

P.S. I finally bit the bullet and joined Snapchat. So be sure to follow me over there if you are interested. You can find me at: alldolledupblog

Color

I can already feel myself doing it. Gravitating towards neutral and fall colors. And while I love it, I know I need to slow down and appreciate the colors of summer. So today’s post serves as a good reminder that there is still plenty of time left to wear all of the brights that the warmer months tend to inspire…
