Mustard + Leopard

On January 22, 2014January 21, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I LOVE the combination of leopard and mustard yellow. It is hands down one of my very favorites ever. And while I would normally pair this combo back to black, I am loving the added element that a dark wash denim brings to this look…

Yesterday I was absolutely thrilled to be featured as a favorite look for the weekly Trend Spin Link Up with The Fashion Canvas and Walking in Memphis In High Heels (two of my very favorite blogs!). Be sure to stop by here and here to see my featured look and check out their cute blogs!

Happy hump day!

So Long, 2013…

On December 31, 2013December 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I always get a little reflective and perhaps even pensive when each year ends and a new one begins. It is a time of excitement and the promise of a new beginning and fresh start, but the turning of that page always makes me a little sad too. The older I get, the faster and faster time seems to go. Cliche, I know, but true none-the-less.

Looking back at 2013, this blog has really been such a highlight of my year. And so, I wanted to take today’s post to THANK ALL OF YOU for being with me every step of the way. Your support, your engagement, your ideas, your encouragement, your love-it has all meant the world to me. And I sincerely hope you will continue along this journey with me into 2014 I could not do what I do every day without each and every single one of you. So truly, from the bottom of my hear, THANK YOU.

And what better way to close out 2013 than with a look back at some of my (and yours too!) favorite looks from this year…

Fall Florals

On November 18, 2013November 17, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

When I think florals, I definitely think Spring. But for whatever reason, I have been finding myself drawn to bright colors and flowery patterns this Fall season. Maybe it’s denial about the cooler months ahead, or maybe it’s my love for color. But either way, I am kind of digging breaking out some of my favorite Spring pieces in the month of November…

No Place Like Home

On October 8, 2013October 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

There is just something special about a pair of red shoes. Maybe it’s the Dorothy Gale in me, but I’ve been drawn to them since I was a little girl and have always longed for my very own pair of ruby red slippers. And while I doubt these will take me anywhere with the click of my heels, at least they are pretty (and amazingly comfortable too)…

Geometric

On October 1, 2013September 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good geometric print, but it’s not very often that I’m drawn to one enough to actually purchase and wear one. I suppose it’s one of those things that just lies outside of my fashion comfort zone. And to be totally honest, even though I write a blog chronicling my daily outfits, believe it or not, it is still pretty easy to get stuck in a fashion rut. So I am constantly reminding myself to step out of that comfort zone and try something new. Even if it’s something as seemingly small as trying out a new pattern…

I would love to hear how you all step out of your fashion zone! Or if you don’t yet, what is it that feels out of reach?

Hope you are all having a wonderful week! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Vegas Recap

On September 27, 2013September 26, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you follow me on Instagram, then you know that J and I were in Las Vegas last week for a long weekend and a bike race. We had a fantastic time and spent our days riding our road bikes through the Red Rock Canyon, attending Interbike, doing a little shopping, and (mostly) lounging by the pool. It was a fun and relaxing few days. But I have to say, my favorite part was the excuse to get extra dressed up for dinner in the evenings. And any excuse to throw on a little extra sparkle is a good enough excuse for me…

I don’t know about you guys, but I am so excited for the weekend, I can hardly stand it. It’s just been one of those weeks, I guess.

Thank you so much for stopping by-like I have said before, you all brighten my days more than you know! And if you haven’t yet, be sure to follow All Dolled Up on Instagram, Facebook, and Bloglovin’ (links to your right).

Happy weekend!!

Gold Standard

On September 25, 2013September 24, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

I love the golden color of this skirt, the beautiful pleated material, and the hi-low cut. It is the embodiment of everything I love in a skirt. And even better than that, it’s just one of those pieces that every time I wear it, I am constantly being stopped and asked about it-which of course makes me feel kind of glamorous. Don’t you just love pieces that make you feel good like that? To me that is the whole point of fashion. A tool for us to use to express ourselves and build our confidence!

So do you have a favorite piece in your closet that makes you feel extra special, or that stops people on the street? If so, I would love to hear about it, so please feel free to leave a comment below.

Skater

On August 14, 2013August 13, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas4 Comments

Even though I am sure they are different today (and as silly as they still are), I can’t help but remember the names of all of the different cliques at my high school: the preppies, the slippies, the jocks, the popular kids, the smokers, the drama kids, the choir kids (that was me), and last but not least, the skaters. And I swear, when skater dresses became popular this year, all I could think of were the skaters I knew in high school. Silly story, but true none-the-less. And while, of course, I do love a good skater dress-I am especially loving them right now. Because they have a tight bodice, a higher waist, and a full skirt, they are ideal back to jackets and cardigans, which makes them a perfect transitional piece from summer to fall, or back to school.

I can’t believe that I have never tried a pair of Sole Society shoes before. I actually picked up this pair (for a steal!) when I was in San Francisco for meetings last week. And I have to say, I am super impressed. Not only are they super cute and affordable, but the quality is great and they are comfortable to boot. They have definitely earned a fan and a return customer in me!

Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for stopping by!

Vacay

On July 29, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

J and I are officially on vacation-and boy does it feel good! And even though we’re only two days in, we’ve already gotten to do some pretty cool things. Including seeing my brother play at one of our favorite watering holes on Flathead Lake. And I must say, while living out of a suitcase for extended periods of time can tend to pose various challenges, I was happy that I thought to pack my favorite mullet skirt, graphic tee, and jean vest, which made for the perfect combination of comfy, yet effortlessly cool summer fashion to wear for the occasion…

Flower Power

On May 6, 2013May 5, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized2 Comments

Last weekend I got to spend an evening in Park City with some of my favorite girlfriends. And what better outfit to wear for a night with the girls than my favorite boyfriend jeans paired back to my current fashion crush-a pretty water colored floral blazer. I am absolutely loving the floral trend this season-especially back to torn-up, light wash denim. That mix of sassy and sweet-I swear it gets me every time…
