Flower Power

I love a bold floral print.  Especially when mixed with a good stripe.  It has been one of my favorite ways to print mix for years, and I don’t see myself tiring of this combo anytime soon.  So if you are still feeling on the fence, or unsure about how to print mix, pairing a bright floral back to a stripe is a really easy place to start.

Hope you all had a great weekend!  I was sick in bed, so my weekend was pretty uneventful, to say the least.  I can’t remember the last time I was down for the count like that.  No fun at all.  Hoping I’ll feel back to normal this week.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

P.S. And please excuse my crazy hair in these photos! It was super windy when we were shooting!

 

 

 

Utility

One thing I learned when I started All Dolled Up is that my sense of style is pretty repetitive when it comes down to it.  So blogging has been a great exercise for me to push myself to wear things I normally wouldn’t.  But one item that has and always will be a favorite in my closet, is a great utility vest.  And for me personally (all blogging aside), it really doesn’t get any better than a utility vest styled with my favorite leopard pumps, my favorite jeans, and my favorite thermal tunic top.  So if you are looking for an easy, go-to outfit to add to your rotation, this is a great one that is super easy to recreate!

Personal Favorites

Whether you know me through the blog, or know me in person, then you probably know that I love vests.  I am also a big fan of stripes.  So it should come as no surprise that today’s outfit is a typical go-to uniform for me.  You know those outfits that just feel comfortable?  This is one of those for me. An easy, breezy combo that still feels put together, all while being super comfortable. Perfect for a Monday.

Mellow Yellow

Contrary to popular belief, pink is my 2nd favorite color.  In fact, it’s yellow that has always had my heart.  So when I saw this coat, I knew it was perfect for me.  Plus, there is nothing better than a candy colored coat to brighten up a dreary winter day.  And for all of you out there who don’t like or can’t wear yellow, you’re in luck, because this also comes in pink, teal, black, and winter white.  PLUS it’s on sale!

Faux Fur

I love pretty much anything with faux fur during the colder months.  And this winter, I am especially loving any faux fur in neutral colors.  Particularly winter white.  So this jacket had my name written all over it when I saw it on sale at Macy’s a couple of weeks ago.  In my opinion, it’s tough to beat a cozy, cute fitting jacket this time of year.

Red and Green

Okay, okay.  So as cliché as it might be this time of year, I do love a good old red and green combo.  Particularly when it is slightly more subtle than a traditional Christmas red and green.  So with that said, for today’s outfit, I substituted Kelly green with olive, which slightly tones down the combo.  And while it still feels festive, it isn’t over the top.  Can we also talk about this jacket for a minute?  Not only is it super soft and comfy, but it’s also under $30!  Amazing!

Casual Friday

I love a good striped tee.  Particularly when they are super soft and a little longer in the back than in the front.  And my white jeans?  Still going strong this fall season.  In fact, I love this look for Fall so much, that this type of uniform will definitely be on repeat.  I will just have to change out my heels for booties when the temps start to drop!

On a serious note, I also wanted to just take a minute and acknowledge today, September 11th.  I still remember so vividly where I was and exactly what I was doing on this day 14 years ago.  I remember watching towers fall while my roommates and I cried and clung to each other in our tiny little dorm room.  I remember frantically trying to call friends who lived in in NYC to make sure they were ok.  I remember how drastically things changed in those moments and how in the blink of an eye, things would never be the same.  But most importantly, I remember those who lost their lives, the heroes, the first responders, the children who have grown up without with fathers and mothers.  Every soul lost that day was so precious and taken from us much too soon.  So even though life marches on, today will be a day full of reflection for me, as I know it will be for many others across this great country and around the world.

Hold tight to your loved ones, and never, ever forget.

Love you guys.

Flower Power

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!

Downtown

I am all about army green surplus jackets and they always seem to reign supreme in my closet this time of year. But truth be told, this camel color jacket has been my absolute favorite this season! It’s such a refreshing alternative to the ever popular olive-green jacket, and the gold hardware makes it feel extra special.  It really is the perfect piece to throw on with jeans for all of those weekend errands and last-minute Christmas shopping!!
