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!

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…

Happy Monday darlings! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

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!

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!

Stripes

On July 20, 2015July 19, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am really on a stripe kick these days. And this dress from Express is seriously one of my very pieces in my closet. It is cute and comfy and the perfect piece to throw on for a BBQ, bike ride, dinner at home, or for a night on the town. All you have to do is change out your shoes and jewelry and it takes on a completely different personality every time. In fact, I love this dress so much (and it’s on sale for such a great price!) that I just picked it up in two more colors! If there is one dress you buy this summer, I am telling you, this is the one. You’re welcome!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Black and White

On June 22, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have to wear all black when I do store visits for work, so I typically tend to shy away from wearing a lot of black in my personal life. But when I saw this cute dress at Express-I just couldn’t resist. I was initially drawn to it because of the cute one shoulder silhouette, but the black and white tribal print feels so fresh for the season. Plus, the fun ruffle details makes it totally different from anything else I have in my wardrobe. And I have to say, I am really looking forward to dressing this one up AND down for a more casual looks this summer!

Dress: Express (on sale for $21!!), also comes in black and red (perfect for the 4th!) and a version with straps | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Bracelet: House of Harlow via Rocksbox (use code abbyxoxo for your first month FREE!) | Ring: Kendra Scott | Clutch: Clare Vivier, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Wedges: Jessica Simpson (on sale!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Flower Power

On June 17, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I am fairly short, at just 5’3″, but I have long legs and a short torso, so shopping in the petites department doesn’t typically work for me. I normally just buy regular sizing, and if I ever run into a pant inseam that is a little too long, I just take them to my (amazing!) tailor here in the SLC. So when I spotted this cute peplum jacket a couple of months ago at Macy’s, and the XS was too big for me, I was initially at a loss. But when I noticed it also came in petite, I decided to give it shot. And guess what? It worked perfectly! It was a great reminder for me that if I ever have trouble with regular sizing, that petites can be a great alternative. So if you are on the short side like me, don’t forget about the petite department!

Happy hump day, sweet friends! Hope you are all having a fabulous week!

Gingham has always been one of my very favorite prints.

I don’t know about you guys, but ever since the iPhone 6 came out, I have been having a heck of a time finding a case for mine.

Brights

On May 4, 2015May 3, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

In case you haven’t noticed, I am into all things floral lately. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t seem to help myself. And stripes and florals together? Pretty sure that is one of my favorite combos of all time. Especially when you add in a little pop of leopard!
