Olive

On February 10, 2015February 10, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love olive green-particularly with leopard and gold jewelry. It is a combo that I often find myself reaching for-whether in the summer or the winter. And what do you know? My favorite denim jacket is making yet another appearance on the blog! Hopefully you guys aren’t too sick of it yet. Ha! Like I always say, a denim jacket is an important investment piece to add to your wardrobe. Not only are they versatile, but they go with just about anything, and those are the smartest pieces you can add to your closet!

Thank you for swinging by the blog and checking out today’s post. I appreciate you all SO much and hope that sharing my daily outfits will help spark some sort of inspiration for you when you are standing in your closet in the morning thinking you have nothing to wear. Because, trust me, I’ve been there!

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Be Mine

On February 9, 2015February 8, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

J and I are going to be on vacation over Valentine’s day again this year, so my date outfit will most likely consist of some sort of bathing suit and cover up. BUT that doesn’t mean that I won’t be sharing some V-day outfit inspiration with all of you on the blog this week! And today’s outfit is all about pink! I always feel my best in a pretty silk top styled with skinny jeans, pumps, and a chic black jacket-so some sort of version of this outfit is always a no-brainer for me when it comes to date night. And adding a bright pop of pink makes this go-to combo perfect for a Valentine’s night out on the town, or a more low key date night in…

And even though I’ve said it a million times, I just have to say it again. These silky v-neck tops from Express are the bomb! And I am especially smitten with all of the fun new spring colors hitting the stores right now-like this neon pink version. It is definitely going to be on major repeat in my closet this season, and should be in your’s as well!

Happy 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!

Color

On January 26, 2015January 25, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am normally a color wearing gal, but lately, all I have been wanting to wear are the neutrals in my closet. So in an effort to get myself out of a colorless rut, I decided to break out my favorite geometric print pink pants. And boy am I glad that I did. I can’t tell you how good it felt to infuse some color and a little life into my outfit! So if you are feeling in a rut or unsure of what to wear this week, try giving a pop of color a try! Hopefully it will revive you like it revived me!!!!

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Sometimes I feel like I blink it’s Monday again. Do you guys ever feel like that? I hope not!!! lol

Thank you SO much for stopping by!!!

Rehearsal Dinner

On January 22, 2015January 21, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas, Uncategorized4 Comments

If you follow me on Insta (and if you don’t, you should!), then you know I was in Austin, Texas last week celebrating the wedding of one of my best college friends. It was an absolutely fabulous weekend and I could not be happier for my sweet friend and her new hubby. And despite my best intentions to take blog photos of what I wore to all of the festivities, I was having too much fun to pause and break out the DSLR.

So even though I’m back home in the SLC, I wanted to recreate for y’all what I wore to the rehearsal dinner. I haven’t been to many weddings in the winter, and it made me realize that they can be a little tricky to dress for. Even though Austin is fairly mild, I wasn’t sure it would be warm enough for a sleeveless dress-and I was right. So instead, I opted to pair one of my favorite skirts from this past summer, with one of my favorite tops from the holiday season. And I have to say that I really love the way it turned out. Not only is navy one of my favorite colors for a formal event, but mixing it back to gold and leopard is one of my very favorite combinations of all time-a total no-brainer for such a special event!

Top: Express (on sale for under $20!!) | Skirt: JCrew (loving the citrus color AND it’s on sale for under $40!) | Necklaces: Stella & Dot, JCrew (this isn’t quite the same, but it’s really close, and on sale!!) | Rings: Stella & Dot, Rocksbox | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Clutch: Michael Kors (old), new version | Booties: INC (best booties EVER and they are on sale!!!)

I hope you guys are having a great week. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t be happier that the end is in sight. I’m definitely ready for the weekend already!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Leopard Chic

On January 21, 2015January 20, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas3 Comments

It’s no secret that I love leopard. I mean, leopard is a neutral, after all!!!! So when I spotted this vest at Forever21, I knew it was a piece I would get a lot of wear out of-and I have! And because you guys showed so much interest when I posted a pic of it on Instagram the other day, I thought I would share it on the blog!!! Oh, and if you don’t follow me on Instagram, then you definitely should (you can find me here)…

Also, what are you guys thinking of the straight, sleek hair look? I am personally a fan of loose waves, but I have been so inspired by so many ladies rocking sleek tresses that I just had to test them out!!

Happy Hump Day!!

The Denim Jacket

On January 20, 2015January 19, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Last week I wrote a post about wardrobe staples. And today, I wanted to talk specifically about one of the items that I had on my list. And that, my friends, is a denim jacket. I wear mine constantly (which y’all have probably noticed on the blog and on my Instagram). It’s a great layering piece, and obviously a great jacket for milder temps. And not only that, but it can be worn with dresses, pants, or skirts-dressed up or dressed down. I am telling you ladies, a denim jacket is season-less, timeless, and it’s a fairly inexpensive investment (which makes it an easy addition to any closet)! So if you don’t have a denim jacket in your wardrobe, be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post, because I’ve cut out the leg work and have rounded up my favorites just for all of you…

Jacket: JCrew (On sale for under $50!!! It does run a bit big, so size down-I’m wearing an xs and am usually a small), also love this, this, this, and this | Gray Tunic: Banana Republic | Silk Layering Tee: Express | Ponte Pants: JCrew | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), just ordered this one | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Bag: Michael Kors Selma | Booties: Steve Madden via DSW

And in case you didn’t notice, I guess I should point out that I am wearing all of the wardrobe staples that I talked about in my post last week-not just the denim jacket. I am telling you guys, staple items are the key to a great wardrobe.

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

Blanket Scarf

On January 12, 2015January 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love the blanket scarf trend. It’s such a chic way to stay cozy during the cold winter months, and a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit. In fact, I picked up this scarf at the Gap last season (you can see how I styled it last year on the blog here) for this very reason. I love having the (practical) option of adding a pretty pop of blue and pink to an outfit during the winter months. But I want to know, what do you all think about the blanket scarf trend???

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

Winter Pastels

On January 5, 2015January 4, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am loving the pastel trend this winter. To me, there is just something so soft and beautiful about wearing colors like lilac during the crisp, white, winter months. And not only are pastels an unexpected (and fun!) choice right now, but they are a nice transition from the bold holiday colors of red and green (not that you can’t still wear those colors now too!!)…

Can you believe the holiday season has come and gone and it’s January again already? To be honest, I’m kind of nursing the post holiday blues. And the fact that it’s Monday certainly doesn’t help matters, does it?

But regardless, cheers to the new year and all of the new adventures it holds! And don’t forget to CLICK HERE to enter for your chance to win a $50 gift card to Bohme Boutique! Winner will be announced on Friday!
