On Repeat

On October 23, 2013October 22, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

If you were to run into me on a typical Saturday in the Fall, I would most likely be wearing something similar to today’s outfit. In my book, it’s tough to beat a staple chambray shirt (plaid is also often on repeat), my favorite skinnies, a vest for layering, and a pair of boots comfy enough for running errands or cheering my hubby on at a Cyclocross race. This is definitely my go-to fall look, and if I am being honest, it has been for the last couple of years. Not super exciting, I know. But sometimes practicality wins out over fashion…

P.S. Aren’t the Fall colors absolutely stunning here in Utah??? I can’t get over it.

I love, love, love the military trend. Most likely because I have an obsession with cute jackets. And what’s cuter than a bomber? Or a surplus jacket? They are the perfect topper to just about any outfit. And while I normally tend to gravitate towards shades of army green, I couldn’t help but fall in love with this navy number when I spotted it at Macy’s a couple of months back. And even though the temps are still pretty warm, I can already tell that this is going to be a fantastic staple in my fall wardrobe…

Hopefully you are loving the military trend as much as I am this fall!

Neutral Obsession

As much as I am enamored with color, I am perhaps equally as enamored with neutrals. They are soft, feminine, and, most importantly, a refreshing break from the neons and brights that I normally find myself gravitating towards (more often than not)…

Peplum Top: Forever21 | Jeans: Joe’s Jeans | Necklaces: JCrew (here and here) | Bracelets: Stella & Dot, Aldo (old), Oia

Jules, Kate Spade | Sunnies: Nordstrom (not online, but check in store) | Bag: Michael Kors | Pumps: Michael Kors Avery (on sale!!!)

Don’t you love when you have been eyeing something online and it turns out to be even better in person? Such was the case with this cute peplum top. I had seen it online, but as much as I love it, have a hard time with the whole peplum trend (I am very short-waisted, so they don’t normally do much for me). But when my family was here for Memorial Day weekend, my mom treated my sister-in-law and me to a traditional shopping trip, and I was able to spot it on the rack at Forever21. And I have to say, it’s one of those Forever21 pieces that is quite impressive. While most of the stuff in that store is fairly cheap both in quality and in price, and what I would consider “disposable” fashion (not that it can’t still have a very desirable place in your wardrobe), they do have items (if you have the patience) that are actually quite nice and very well made. And this top is one of them. The fit and fabric are both lovely and in person it looks very expensive. Don’t you just love finding bargains like? Me and my bank account sure do. 😉

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Downtown Abby

Last week marked our big 2014 planning meetings. And while it was fun to discuss our fashion and growth strategies for the upcoming year, I always especially love the excuse to office out of our beautiful, brand new Macy’s in downtown SLC. And so of course, when Friday rolled around, my hubby and I took full advantage and met for drinks at one of our favorite local downtown spots. It was the perfect way to enjoy some gorgeous spring weather and kick off a nice, relaxing weekend after a week full of craziness.

We all know I am obsessed with pink shoes. And this bubblegum pink pair is my current favorite because they are amazingly comfortable. But can we talk about my little bow top for minute? It’s pretty safe to say that I am beyond obsessed with it. The teeny, tiny bows are so darn cute and on top of that, they are velveteen-totally reminds me of when I was a kid. Plus, it was under $15. Can’t beat that!!!

Hope you all had an amazing weekend.

P.S. I am hosting my first Stella & Dot trunk show this week and I am so excited!!! If you are a Utah gal and would like to come, please leave a comment or shoot me an email (abby_doll@hotmail.com) and I will send you the invite. And for those of you not in the SLC, if you are looking to order something sparkly from Stella & Dot, please use the link below! They just released their new summer line along with a gorgeous new handbag lineup. Seriously swoon worthy.
