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?

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!

Special

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, shift coats are awesome.  And this gorgeous black and white number is at the top of my list of all-time favorite things in my closet.  Not only is it under $40, but the quality is fantastic and the fabric and print is so pretty, people literally stop me on the street to ask me where they can buy it.  So if you’re looking for something beautiful and special to add to your wardrobe (that won’t break the bank!), do yourself a favor and pick this piece. Also, how fabulous will it look styled with a dress and strappy heels when the weather warms up?  I can’t wait!

Pink Pop

When I posted this gray jacket on Instagram last week, I had a lot of you ask me if I would include it in a blog post.  And because I love it just as much as you guys seem to, I couldn’t help but oblige.  Not only has this jacket become a staple in my wardrobe this winter, but it is under $40 (say what?)!  So if you are looking for a new piece of outerwear to add to your wardrobe this season that won’t break the bank, then look no further than this chic coat!

Plaid Shirt Dress

If you don’t have a go-to plaid shirt dress in your wardrobe, then I would highly recommend purchasing one in the new year.  They are such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down and will give you tons of options for different outfits to create in your wardrobe.  A denim vest is also an excellent choice if you are looking to add a few new silhouettes to your closet in 2016!  Be sure to shop my favorite plaid dresses and vests below!

Pops Of Red

No matter the time of year, I always love a good pop of red.  Whether it’s a pair of shoes, a top, a cute bag or scarf, or even a bold red lip, it’s a simple way to change-up a favorite outfit, or add some interest to your look.  And it’s especially fitting this time of year with Christmas just around the corner!

Lacey

I love to layer, but I also love a good twofer.  And this sweater from Shein couldn’t be more perfect.  Not only is it just the right shade of heather gray, but the pretty lace detailing makes it an easy piece to dress up or dress down.  And the length is great too.  It’s not quite tunic length, but it’s definitely long enough to wear with your skinniest of jeans.

Date Night Casual

I love a good date night casual look.  And there is no easier way to accomplish this kind of look than with a pair of destroyed skinnies, fun pumps, and a bold lip.  And even though my top is just a plain black shirt, the cut out shoulders give it a slightly edgy feel, while allowing me to still feel super comfy.  So in honor of the weekend, I want to know, what is your go-to date night look?

Black and Tan

Two of my favorite colors to mix together are black and tan.  Wearing all black can tend to sku a little dressy, so adding in a great tan or cognac boot, or accessory, is a great way to make the ensemble a little more casual.

And can we talk about this jacket for minute?  It is one of my very favorite new additions to my wardrobe this season.  Not only does it look great with dresses, but it’s also a cute piece to wear with jeans, belted shut.  And can you believe it’s under $30??  Even better!  Details below…

Booties

I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but I cannot get enough of long-sleeve dresses and booties this season.  It is such an easy and comfy combo, but always leaves me feeling polished and put together.  Plus, it’s still been fairly warm here in the SLC, so it’s been a good way to break in some of my favorite Fall pieces while still dressing appropriately for the weather!DSC_2366DSC_2341DSC_2355 DSC_2360 DSC_2347 DSC_2340 DSC_2348 DSC_2387

Dress: Nordstrom (LOVE! and it’s only $54) |  Sunnies: Karen Walker (you can try them for FREE for one month-details below!) | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Carlos Santana(sold out), extremely similar

I am sure by now you guys have heard me talk about Ditto.  But if you haven’t, it’s a really cool new concept where you can rent designer sunglasses for just $24/month.  It is a FANTASTIC way to test out designer sunglasses to see if they are really worth the price tag, or a great way to rotate through a bunch of sunnies you have been wanting to try.  If you are interested in taking the program for a test run, you can try your first month FREE on me!  Just enter code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!

Happy Friday, sweet friends!
