Tunic

On By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good tunic paired back to skinny jeans and a staple pair of pumps.  It’s definitely a go-to look for me.  And when I’m on the hunt for a new tunic, Free People is always a brand that I look to first.  They have some of the best tops around, in my opinion.  Particularly if you are looking for something flowy and comfortable for summer.

Bomber

On By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good jacket.  And this spring, lightweight bomber jackets have definitely been my jam.  Not only are they cute and stylish, but they are the perfect piece to throw on when the weather isn’t quite warm enough to go sleeveless, or to keep you warm on a chilly spring night.

Midi

On By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am on the short side at 5’3″, so I tend to shy away from midi-style dresses and skirts.  Because of my smaller stature, longer lengths typically tend to swallow me up and not be particularly flattering.  But because it’s a style I love, I do keep trying it in different silhouettes and prints as the seasons change, hoping to find something that will work for me.  And this spring,  I FINALLY found a midi-dress that is not only comfy and has pockets, but the print and style actually work well for my shorter frame.

25 Things I’ve Learned in my 30s

On By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas5 Comments

If I’m being completely honest, I have to admit that I’ve been feeling a little angst about my birthday today.  Ever since I hit 30, it seems to get a little harder to see the years keep ticking by one by one.  And the milestone birthdays (like 35!), seem to be a little weightier than 18 and 21, and definitely not quite as fun.  BUT I have to say, as I have been reflecting on my 30s the last few days, I’ve realized that while these years have been some of the most challenging, it has also been one of the most rewarding phases of my life that has cultivated the most personal growth.  So in honor of my 35th birthday today, I thought I’d share a few things that I have learned so far in my 30s:

  1.  It’s ok to be completely you are, and feel confident in that.
  2.  Life is messy, and complicated, and harder than anyone ever tells you.
  3.  You can make just about anything in a crockpot.
  4. My mom is my best friend.
  5. If you think something nice about someone (whether you know them or not), tell them!
  6. Watching Dateline (or 48 Hours Mystery) in my jammies with a glass of wine on Friday night is usually more exciting than going out.
  7. It’s ok to be the most overdressed person at a party.
  8. Dry-shampoo is a life-saver.
  9.  Be kind to everyone.  You never know what is going on behind someone else’s closed doors.
  10. Lip gloss over lipstick.
  11. Coffee dates with girlfriends are refreshing for the soul.
  12. It’s ok to tell people no.
  13. Find gratitude in everything.
  14. Eating healthy is fun and it feels good (same with working out)!
  15. Strive to be a better and kinder person each and every single day.
  16.  Thriving relationships create true happiness-not success and wealth.  Choose your focus wisely.
  17. It’s important to splurge and treat yourself every now and again.
  18. Saving for retirement is really, really important.
  19. Find something you’re passionate about and incorporate it into your day-to-day.
  20. Boundaries in relationships are key.
  21. Being an auntie is one of the best jobs in the world!!
  22. Ignore the haters.
  23. The Bachelor/Bachelorette is the best way to end a Monday.
  24. Trust your gut.
  25.  I am blessed beyond measure to know a God that loves me and forgives me for all of the  mistakes I make along the way!

White Out

On By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am seriously loving white everything right now.  From dresses, to nails, to tops, to handbags, I’m finding myself gravitating towards it more than usual this season.  And I have a feeling that as the days continue to get warmer, I will keep on reaching for all of the white pieces in my closet. This is definitely a trend that is easy for anyone to get behind!

Romper Time

On By all dolled upIn Uncategorized1 Comment

I LOVE rompers!  So I am really glad that they are back in a big way this season.  And even though the temps have been a little chilly in the SLC, I have still been able to wear some of my favorites by pairing them with denim jackets and cozy cardigans (like in today’s post). With all the crazy weather we’ve been having here in the SLC this Spring, layering has definitely been a must!

Geometric

Apparently I wasn’t the only one craving this jacket, because it sold out and was re-stocked twice before I was finally able to order it!  So if you are looking for something fun to add to your closet, this is a fantastic option.  Not only will it go with a ton of different things, but it’s just $30 and really nice quality! Can’t beat that!

You all know I love surplus vests and jackets, but I’m also a huge fan of surplus pants.  And these Traveler Pants from cabi clothing have quickly become a favorite in my wardrobe.  I tend to be a creature of habit and wear my favorite jeans all the time, so it’s been nice to have a new go-to pair of pants to add to the rotation!DSC_7626 DSC_7632 DSC_7656 DSC_7709 DSC_7683 DSC_7671 DSC_7643 DSC_7633 DSC_7668 DSC_7712

Tied With A Bow

On By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you guys haven’t heard of Chicwish yet, then I definitely suggest that you check them out.  Not only is their clothing beautiful and feminine, but their price points are fantastic.  In fact, ever since discovering them, they have quickly become a go-to for me when I’m looking for the perfect girly dress, skirt, or top (see how I styled other items from their site here, here, here, and here).

And while I have adored everything I have received from their site, the top in today’s post is definitely my favorite.  I mean really, who could resist a bubblegum pink top complete with a big ol’ bow? **swoon**
