The Road Less Traveled

Fall in Utah is my favorite. Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but it seems to last forever and the weather is unbelievably amazing. I seriously can’t imagine a better place to be for the months of September and October. And with the fall foliage at a frenzy right now, I am trying desperately to enjoy every second of it before the snow starts to fly-which means weekends spent at the farmer’s market, watching bike races, and checking out all of the beautiful fall colors. And I have to say that cozy sweaters and comfy booties have been my go-to weekend uniform as of late-particularly if they are cognac and gray…

Texture

It’s no secret that I love print mixing. But what you might not know is that I am also a fan of mixing different textures and fabrics. And when I stumbled on this fun version of a classic surplus coat while recently shopping for a dress for my cousin’s wedding, I just couldn’t help myself. It’s the perfect Fall piece with just enough of a twist to make an old staple feel new again…

Layers

One of my favorite things about dressing for Fall is layering. I love putting multiple pieces together to achieve different looks and maximize the pieces in my wardrobe. And because I am such a fan of the layered look, I am definitely finding myself gravitating towards this season’s mixed media pieces that give you the layered look without having to actually layer. Not only do they help simplify getting dressed in the morning, but they are a great option to get the layered look without all the bulk!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Shades Of Gray

On September 4, 2014September 3, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I have been on the hunt for a cute pair of gray jeans for a while now. So I was pretty excited when I found these cuffed Joe’s skinnies on sale for a major steal at Macy’s during the holiday weekend! Gray is a great alternative to your typical blue jeans, it’s an easy neutral, and a perfect addition to your denim wardrobe this Fall season!

Happy Thurday, y’all! Don’t you just love a shortened work week? I know I sure do!

I’ve Got The Blues

On November 20, 2013November 20, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love the color blue, but for some reason, it’s a color that I don’t wear very often. In fact, I hardly have any blue in my closet. So every once in a while, I find it necessary to remind myself that blue and gray just might be one of the prettiest (and one of my favorite) color combos ever. And in addition to pretty blues and grays, I think a grandpa cardigan is a must have in every gal’s closet this fall. Between you and me? I can’t stop wearing mine. Between this cardigan and my tassel necklace, I think I have a serious problem…

Saturdays in the Park

On October 9, 2012 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love Saturdays in the Fall. My hubby races Cyclocross (a hybrid sport of mountain biking and road biking), and I look forward to getting out the cowbell and our SLR each weekend to cheer him on and snap photos of him for a change. It’s so nice to be out in the crisp fall air and have the opportunity to see so many different parks and areas around Utah that we normally wouldn’t get to explore!

This past Saturday brought us up to beautiful Ogden for race day. And while most races are in the morning and you can normally find me straight from boot camp running around the course in my LuluLemon gear and tennis shoes, this was an afternoon race so I actually had to wear real clothes for the occasion. However, I found myself a bit stumped as to what real clothes I could wear both to the race and then directly out for beers with friends following. I seem to have an easy time getting super dressed up or being super casual, but it’s the in between that I always find to be a struggle. So I did what any strategic thinking fashionista would do and I pulled out my favorite grey tee, my most comfy skinny jeans, my best worn in boots (with just enough of a heel that I could run around but not feel frumpy), and then threw on some fun jewelry and a leopard cardi for some spunk. And I have to say, it ended up being the perfect outfit for a casual, fun fall day.

Neon was all the rage this past summer and will continue to be an important trend through the end of 2013. And while it does pose to be a bit more challenging, it is perfectly acceptable to layer it into your fall and winter wardrobe. When I bought my neon yellow bag a couple of months ago, I actually bought it with fall in mind. I knew it would look fantastic back to both grey and cognac and would be a great and simple way to add a pop of color to more earthy, cool weather looks. How would you style neon back to your fall neutrals?
