Summer Boho

On July 6, 2015 By all dolled upIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I posted a photo on my Insta a couple of weeks ago wearing the top in today’s post, and I had so many questions about it, that I wanted to put it up on the blog. It is another score from SheIn, and is a dupe for the Free People version-but this one won’t break the bank at under $20. The quality is also great-just like the other pieces I have tried from SheIn. It’s little short on me to be worn as a dress (keep in mind I am only 5’3″), but you could easily wear something underneath to give it a little length. I styled mine with denim shorts and tied it in the back so that I could do a messy front tuck. I also love it paired it with booties to give it a perfect summer boho feel.

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend with your family and friends, and that your Monday isn’t too painful! 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love a good pop of neon. And this cute top from last summer is still one of my favorite things in my closet. It’s just one of those items that looks great with just about everything-denim, shorts, skirts-you name it! You can also see how I styled it last summer, here!

Hope you guys are all having a fantastic week! I have to say, I am so looking forward to next week and the 4th of July, that this week feels like it is just crawling by! But at least we’ve hit the half way mark! Happy hump day, girlfriends!

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!)

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!

Pleats

I am loving the pleated trend this season. And of course navy. I don’t know what it is about navy dresses, but I am always drawn to them. So when I spotted this navy pleated number at BCBG, I knew it was a great summer dress-perfect for a plethora of different occasions, and an easy piece to style a lot of different ways. And those are the best types of items to add to your wardrobe-the ones that give you lots of options…

Tailor Made

On June 2, 2015June 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

As I’ve gotten older, I have learned the importance of a good tailor. And that just because something doesn’t fit you off the rack, doesn’t mean that it can’t still work for you. And the dress in today’s post is the perfect example. My mom and I stumbled on this gem at Anthropologie when my parents were in town a couple of weekends ago. It was originally $228 and we found it on the sale rack marked down to $48 (um, WOW!). It was the gorgeous fabric that initially drew me to it, but the original length was tea length and it just swallowed me up and was really unflattering. But neither of us could get over the fabric (you should see it in person!) so we hatched a plan to have it shortened and I took it to my tailor (who also couldn’t get over the fabric), and he shortened it for me for a mere $20. And I have to say, I think it is one of my very favorite dresses in my closet right now. I guess it goes to show that it can be worth it to think outside of the box a little bit. So if you don’t have a tailor, I would definitely suggest finding a good one in your neighborhood-you just never know when they might come in handy!

Neon

We have been having the rainiest weather here in Utah, which has made it really difficult to take outfit photos. So my apologies for being a little quiet over here on the blog. Hopefully once we get through this week, our normal sunny weather will decide to return to us! But today, I wanted to share one of my favorite tops with you. And not just because I love it, but because you can score it on MAJOR sale today! Not only is it the perfect length (a little longer than most button downs), but it has super cute grosgrain ribbon trim, and is the perfect punch of color for both spring and summer (think of how cute it would look with white!!). Link is below!

Hope you are all having a fantastic! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

No Parking

On May 15, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

When I was a senior in high school, one of my favorite senior portraits was in front of a really cool “No Parking” sign painted on a falling down building. So when we were heading out to dinner in SF last weekend with friends and I saw this sign on the side of garage, I had to make J stop and snap some photos for the blog. And while I am wearing my usual go-to out outfit (leather jacket, a silky blouse, and my favorite skinnies), it’s my shoes that are noteworthy. As I’ve said many times before, I am a sucker for a great pair of statement shoes, and these certainly fit the bill. And not only is this particular pair gorgeous (you should see them in person!) AND under $70, but they are super comfy to boot!

Hope you all had a fantastic week! Cheers to an even better weekend!

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!
