Gingham

On September 24, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

This gingham romper was one of my very favorite purchases of the summer. And because I’m not ready to put it away quite yet, I decided to change it up a bit and style it with a utility vest and booties to make it more appropriate for the Fall season. And you know what? It totally works and I am really loving the look. What are some creative ways you guys transition your favorite summer pieces into cooler months? I’d love to hear!

Romper: Ralph Lauren D&S (sold out), similar dress (under $20!), similar | Vest: H&M (old), similar, similar | Bag: Tory Burch (sold out), NEW fall version | Sunnies: Karen Walker (try them for one month FREE with ditto.com-just enter ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Booties: Vince Camuto (SOOOOO comfy!)

Hope you guys are having a fantastic week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

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!

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

On August 17, 2015August 16, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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!

White After Labor Day

On August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’m baaaaaack! Been a bit of a rough week for me over here. I got some bad spider bites while we were on a float trip this past weekend and have been having an allergic reaction to them in the form of hives all over my arms and legs! Gross! Didn’t figure you all would want to see that on the blog, so I’ve just been taking it easy this week.

Fortunately, I started to feel a little better last night which is why I’m finally back today. And good thing too, because I want to talk about how much I love white pants!! I was so hesitant to buy them at first because I knew I would get them dirty (which I pretty much do every time I wear them), but it has been so worth it. Not only do they look great with almost every cute summer top in my closet (especially bright colors!), but I can’t wait to transition these bad boys into Fall with booties and oversized sweaters! Who says you can’t wear white after Labor Day???

Vest: Tommy Girl (old), similar, similar | Tank: Express (my favorite cami AND it’s reversible and comes in tons of colors/prints!) | White Skinnie: AG (on sale!), also love these (on sale for under $50!), and these | Necklace: Stella & Dot | Cuff: Lucky Brand(old), just ordered this | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Heels: INC (my faves! they are SO comfy and come in several colors)

Hope you are all having a great week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Romper Style

On July 31, 2015July 30, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

So now that I’ve decided I can wear the off-the-shoulder trend (see this post where I talk about how I didn’t think it would work for my body type), I can’t seem to get enough of it. Ha! Isn’t that the way that it always goes. But I have to say that for me lately, it doesn’t get much better than an off-the-shoulder romper. My husband and I love to bike in the summer and often ride our tandem road bike to dinner or drinks and apps, so I am always looking for cute outfits that are appropriate for bike riding AND date night (which is much harder than you would think!). But I have found that rompers, above all else, always seem to fit the bill. Especially when they cost less than $20!!

Romper: SheIn c/o (under $30!!!) | Ring: Macy’s (anniversary gift from my sweet hubby!) | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Heels: Marc Fisher (old), similar here and here

Happy, happy Friday sweet friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! And don’t forget, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday. So don’t miss out on your chance to save a ton on a lot of amazing outfits. You can see all of my top picks here and here. AND most are under $100. Can’t beat that!

Summer Fashion Hacks

On July 28, 2015July 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

There are two things I am really into this summer: destroyed boyfriend shorts with heels, and orange lipstick. And for whatever reason, I seriously can’t seem to get enough either! Maybe it’s because together or alone, they both give the perfect balance of making you look like you tried, even if you really didn’t. And I’m here to tell you, that I’ll take advantage of any fashion hacks that come my way during the summer months!

Sweater: Express (on sale for 40% off in lots of colors, there is also a gray color here!) | Shorts: Rag & Bone (on sale!), also love these | Necklaces: Stella & Dot (here and here) | Cuff: House of Harlow | Ring: Kendra Scott | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Hat: JCrew | Bag: Tory Burch | Wedges: Nordstrom (under $55 during the #Nsale and really comfy-they also come in black!)
Lipstick: Stila Stay-All-Day Lipstick in Carina

Is it bad that’s only Tuesday and I already can’t wait for the weekend? I don’t want to wish my summer away, but I just want to play! lol

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends!

Fringe Benefits

On July 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love a good striped dress. And with the slightly cooler weather here in the SLC that has been layering itself in with our typically hot temps, I have found that some evenings, it’s nice to have a light coat with me as an option. Plus these tassel shoes. I can’t even. I’m pretty sure they are my favorite purchase from the #NSale. They are less than $90 and also come in black and red. So if you are looking for a pair of really fun statement shoes, then look no further, my friends. Happy Monday!

Dress: SheIn c/o (obsessed AND it’s under $20!) | Jacket: Gap (old), similar | Cuff: Macy’s | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Fringe Heels: Steve Madden (on sale!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
