Proud To Be An American

On May 27, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I had good intentions of getting this post up in time for Memorial Day, but ended up being too busy having fun with my family (who was in town for the weekend) to sit down and do any blogging. So my apologies for the absence of outfit posts the past few days! But since I’m really digging the patriotic feel of what I wore for our Memorial Day BBQ, I still wanted to share it with all of you!

I love the combination of red, white, and blue-or in this case, neon coral, white, and blue. And of course what could be more American than adding a little pop of denim to an ensemble? So even though Memorial Day weekend has (sadly) come and gone, I love this outfit for a multitude of different summer occasions-including the 4th of July, or really any summer BBQ for that matter….

Birthday Balloons…

On May 9, 2014May 9, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

I have always wanted to do a blog post with balloons (thanks a lot, Pinterest), but the opportunity had just really never presented itself. That is until yesterday, when J surprised me with flowers and balloons before we left town for a quick weekend birthday celebration. And so today, in honor of my birthday, I thought I would celebrate by accessorizing my outfit with a whole bunch of pink balloons. Because if you can’t accessorize with balloons on your birthday, then really, when can you?

Red Pop

On April 14, 2014April 13, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Listen up ladies, red isn’t just for the holiday season anymore! Paired with the right color combinations (think neutrals!!), red is a color we should be wearing all. year. long. And while I typically tend to shy away from reds during the warmer months (as I’m sure we all tend to do), paired back to nudes and light wash denim, red really is the perfect pop of color for Spring!

Also, can we just talk for a second about how gorgeous the blooms are on the tree behind me in these photos? It feels like our entire yard just blossomed overnight. Oh how I love the Spring season!

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

Mustard

On March 3, 2014March 2, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

In my book, navy and mustard is a pretty tried and true color combination-no matter the season, no matter the trend. And I am loving the playful look of pairing a more formal top and jacket with ripped up, light wash jeans, and nude pumps. It’s unexpected, yet somehow still classic…

My family was reminded this weekend of just how precious life is. Everything can change in an instant, so be sure to tell the ones you love that you love them, and cherish every moment you have with your family and friends.

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

Mustard + Leopard

On January 22, 2014January 21, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I LOVE the combination of leopard and mustard yellow. It is hands down one of my very favorites ever. And while I would normally pair this combo back to black, I am loving the added element that a dark wash denim brings to this look…

Yesterday I was absolutely thrilled to be featured as a favorite look for the weekly Trend Spin Link Up with The Fashion Canvas and Walking in Memphis In High Heels (two of my very favorite blogs!). Be sure to stop by here and here to see my featured look and check out their cute blogs!

Casual Sparkle

On December 30, 2013December 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Hello everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. I must admit, I am feeling a little sad that it’s all over. Why is it that the things we look forward to the most always seem to go by the most quickly? But on a positive note, I am really looking forward to 2014 and all of the promise and adventure that a new year holds for us all. And with that, I thought I might share yet another holiday plaid look on the blog today, but this time layered with a little sparkle. A look that is casual enough to wear during the daytime, or perfect for a cozy New Year’s eve spent at home…

Fall Florals

On November 18, 2013November 17, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

When I think florals, I definitely think Spring. But for whatever reason, I have been finding myself drawn to bright colors and flowery patterns this Fall season. Maybe it’s denial about the cooler months ahead, or maybe it’s my love for color. But either way, I am kind of digging breaking out some of my favorite Spring pieces in the month of November…

I am all about dressing casual and feeling comfortable.

Kind of tough to beat, don’t you think?

No Place Like Home

On October 8, 2013October 8, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

There is just something special about a pair of red shoes. Maybe it’s the Dorothy Gale in me, but I’ve been drawn to them since I was a little girl and have always longed for my very own pair of ruby red slippers. And while I doubt these will take me anywhere with the click of my heels, at least they are pretty (and amazingly comfortable too)…
