Burgundy

On August 11, 2015August 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

When it comes to shopping, I am not very good at purchasing items in advance for an upcoming season. Instead, I am more of a buy now, wear now kind of girl. So this time of year gets to be a little tricky for me. While August is one of my favorite times to shop because of all of the amazing deals, summer is also running short on time, so I want to be careful and not purchase things that I am going to have to put away in a few weeks. So instead, I look for transitional items to add to my wardrobe that I can wear now and wear later. And this dress is a great example. I had been eyeing it in a bright pink color for quite sometime, but when it recently went on sale, I ultimately decided to buy it in burgundy because not only can I wear it now, but it will look great layered with leopard, and booties, and jackets and sweaters!

Hope your week is off to a fantastic start!

P.S. I finally bit the bullet and joined Snapchat. So be sure to follow me over there if you are interested. You can find me at: alldolledupblog

Print Mixing

On February 27, 2015February 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love that it’s perfectly acceptable to mix different prints together (thank you Jenna Lyons!). I mean really, a couple of years ago, I never would have thought to wear leopard and tribal prints together. In the same outfit. But for whatever reason, it works. And perhaps more importantly? It’s FUN. And in my book, fashion should always be fun, don’t you think?

Jacket: H&M (old), my other favorite black faux leather jacket | Sweater: H&M (can’t find online, but check in store-it’s only $9.95 and comes in TONS of colors!!!!), similar, LOVE this | Peplum Top: Gap, love this | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind | Necklace: Raven + Lily | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Clare Vivier, clutch version | Pumps: Joe’s Jeans (under $60 and really comfy!)

Happy, happy Friday to you and yours! Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you Monday!!

Cardi

On February 3, 2015February 2, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve been really into cardigan sweaters lately. They are so easy to slip on over a silky blouse for work, or over a t-shirt on the weekend. I am also finding myself drawn to the slightly longer-length boyfriend fit this season. Because let’s be honest, anything cozy or gray seems to be on heavy rotation in my closet right now!

Cardigan: Loft (on sale for $25 and comes in a TON of great colors!!) | Silk Tee: Express | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind (on sale!) | Necklace: DownEast Outfitters (check in store), similar, LOVE this | Watch: Michael Kors | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Tory Burch | Pumps: BCBG via DSW, similar, LOVE these, just ordered these (I have them in black and they are the cutest, comfiest shoes EVER)

I hope your week is off to a great start!

Thank you so much for your support and for stopping by!

Muah!

I love a good shift dress. It’s a great way to look polished without really putting in much thought or effort. Because let’s face it, sometimes getting dressed can be really HARD (no matter how many clothes you have in your closet!). So I always try to have a couple of these on hand in basic colors-a wardrobe hack, if you will. They are super flattering on just about any body type, and pair well with boots or pumps, blazers or denim jackets, and also happen to look great paired with faux fur vests! So if you don’t have a basic shift dress in your wardrobe, you should. Just another one of those items that will give you a ton of outfit options without breaking the bank!

Party Pants

On January 27, 2015January 26, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Confession time: when I was in high school, my girlfriends and I loved The Spice Girls (like really loved them!)! So when they came out with their movie, we not only dressed up to go and see it, but we also each had our own Spice Girl name. And mine was, wait for it, Sparkle Spice! If you are reading this post and you know me, then this probably comes as no surprise to you. But for those of you who don’t know me personally, then it should be noted that I LOVE sparkles-glitter, sequins, you name it, if it blings I am in! So while I feel like people normally bust out their sequins during the holidays or for special occasions, when styled the correct way, I think sequins can be worn any time. And what better way to dress down a pair of sequin pants than with a favorite tee and a surplus jacket (remember how versatile I said they were in my Wardrobe Staples post??)…

Hope your week is off to a great start! Thank you SO much for stopping by!!!

TGIF

On January 9, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how happy I am that it is Friday! Why does the first full week of the year always seem to go by so slowly? Just another one of life’s many mysteries, I guess! Anyway, today I wanted to share a super casual outfit with you all that is one of my go-to looks. As much as I love color, I am obsessed with gray and love it paired with white-especially when you throw in a pop of cognac. I don’t know if it’s the dreariness of January or the post holiday blues, but this is a combo I’ve been reaching for all week. And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to see if you won the $50 Bohme Boutique giveaway!

Sweater: Super Dry via TJMaxx, similar, LOVE this one (on sale for $11.99!) | T-Shirt: H&M (old), this is my favorite tee EVER | Denim: 7 for all mankind | Necklace: Raven + Lily (fair trade, AND it’s on sale!) | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Anne Klein via DSW (SO comfy and I’m obsessed with the cute little tassels!)

And the lucky winner of the $50 Bohme Boutique Giftcard is:

Buffalo Plaid (and your guide to Black Friday sales happening NOW!)

On November 26, 2014November 25, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

It’s no secret that I love a great plaid shirt. In fact, I have to limit how many plaid shirts I wear in a week!! They are such an easy go-to in my closet this time of year, it’s hard not to gravitate towards them! So on the eve of Thanksgiving, I thought it was fitting that my 3rd and final outfit idea for you turkey day festivities was a plaid shirt. After all, a bright red buffalo check shirt is the perfect festive look to wear during the holidays-especially when paired back to a pair of favorite leggings, a cozy fur vest, and some killer pumps or boots!

Instagram Filter: Hudson

Buffalo Plaid Shirt: Old Navy (under $25!), also love this (50% off!) | Fur Vest: Forever21 (old), similar, LOVE this | Ponte Leggings: INC via Macy’s (best EVER!) | Initial Necklaces: Gigglosophy | Bracelets: Stella & Dot (here and here), JCrew (here and here) | Sunnies: Ray-ban | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, LOVE this one | Pumps: Nordstrom, love these leopard booties for winter
