Wow. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve put up a new blog post. To be honest, life has been crazy busy the last couple of weeks, and I just needed a bit of a break. But it feels great to be back today and I am so excited to be bringing you a little outfit inspiration for the 4th of July!!! Can you believe that the 4th is less than one week away? I know I can’t. For me, the 4th of July will always be the official kick off to summer, and I can’t wait to celebrate all weekend long!!

Thank you guys so much for stopping by! Hope you’re having a great week!

Cold Shoulder

On May 23, 2017May 23, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good cold shoulder top. And this floral embroidered number is my current favorite. Plus I love that it has bell sleeves too. Definitely fun to have two trends in one without feeling too over the top.

Hope you guys are having a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

Spring Trends

On May 16, 2017May 16, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am wearing four of my favorite trends for Spring and Summer in today’s outfit post: destroyed denim, an off-the-shoulder top, platform sandals, and round sunglasses. And while I’ve been playing around with the first three trends for quite some time now, I just recently purchased my first pair of round sunglasses. And I have so say, I am LOVING them. In fact, I just ordered a second pair with a gradient lens, as opposed to mirrored and I can’t for them to get here. I’d also love to know, what are some of your favorite trends for this season?

Hope you guys are having a great week! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Throwback

On May 2, 2017May 1, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

You know what’s kind of a weird feeling? When you’re old enough to see certain fashion trends cycle back through your life a second time around. And right now, with so many great ’90’s trends prevalent for the summer months, that’s exactly what’s happening. And it’s leaving me feeling both a little nostalgic, and a little old. lol But when I was in high school, denim short overalls and denim overall dresses were my favorite. So I knew it was a trend I would definitely be revisiting this summer. And I’d love to know, how are you guys feeling about the ’90’s trends in the market right now?

Hope you guys are having a fantastic week!

Floral Dress

On April 24, 2017April 23, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

If you guys have been following this blog for a while, then you definitely know I am a huge fan of long-sleeved dresses. And this Spring is no different. While I also always love wearing light jackets over dresses this time of year, sometimes it’s kind of nice to leave the extra layer at home. Plus, I’m always game for any kind of dress with a little twirl factor. And this one definitely fits the bill!

Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend. And here’s to making Monday count!

Skirted

On April 19, 2017April 19, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I tend to gravitate towards dresses. But the Grandstand skirt from the Cabi Spring line just might be my favorite thing in my closet right now. I seriously love everything about it. The fabric, the stripes, the pockets, the tie waist. It’s really an all-around perfect piece in my book. Plus it goes with so many different things, I know it’s going to be a go-to in my wardrobe this season.

Is it just me, or does this feel like the longest week EVER? Hopefully your week is going by a lot faster than mine. I am so ready for the weekend already.

Thanks for stopping by!

Balloon Sleeves

On March 29, 2017March 28, 2017 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I stalked this top online forever. But I just didn’t think I could pull off the balloon sleeves. Bell sleeves are one thing, but this exaggerated version is a whole different story. But I have to say, I am so glad I finally took the plunge. It’s such a fun piece to have in my wardrobe, and surprisingly goes with so many different things. Is this a trend you guys would ever try? I’d love to know!

Top (also love this)| Joggers | Clutch | Sunnies | Pumps (sold out), also love these and these

Thanks for much for stopping by! Happy Hump Day, friends!

Velvet Jumpsuit for NYE

On December 30, 2016December 29, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I had good intentions of bringing you festive and sequin-filled NYE inspired posts all week. But unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned, and I was involved in a pretty major car accident on Tuesday morning. While my car was totaled, I was fortunate enough to walk away from the accident with only a concussion and minor injuries. And while I am grateful to be alright, it was also a good reminder of how precious life is.

And of course it’s got me thinking. As events like these often do. It’s so easy in this day and age to put together and present a perfectly curated life through social media. But I’m feeling led to share with you guys that my life is anything but perfect. And if I’m being totally honest, I can also tell you that 2016 has been the hardest, most challenging year of my life. And I’ve really been struggling this week to wrap my head around how it could possibly be ending with a serious accident on top of everything else. But rather than let myself get down and discouraged (which I’ve totally been doing), I’m reminding myself in times like these, that it’s important to take a step back, take inventory of the blessings you DO have in life, find the joy in the hurt, the laughter in the messiness, surround yourself with those who love you most, and thank God for His grace, protection, forgiveness, and unfailing love. That is after all, what this holiday season is all about, isn’t it?

In other (more fashion blog-worthy) news, how amazing would this green velvet jumpsuit be to wear to a NYE party (or any other party for that matter)? If I’m feeling well enough to make it out on NYE this year, this is definitely what I’ll be wearing. Fingers crossed!

Jumpsuit | Necklace | Sunnies | Clutch | Heels

Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year this weekend. And a huge thank you for your continued love and support, and for making this blog possible. Y’all have been such a bright spot in my life this past year and I am so appreciative!

Cheers to a better and brighter 2017!!

Plaid Coat

On December 27, 2016December 26, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love a good plaid coat. Especially one that doesn’t break the bank, like this cozy black and white one (only $25!). Plus, the longer length makes it super cozy to throw on for those cold, snowy days. In fact, it’s kind of like wearing a stylish blanket!

I have to be honest, I am always pretty sad when Christmas comes and goes. But I am looking forward to a shortened work week and ringing in 2017. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration with your families and loved ones.

Green for Christmas

On December 23, 2016December 23, 2016 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love red and sparkles so much, sometimes I forget about wearing green during the holidays. So when I saw this choker top at Express, I knew it would be perfect back to my favorite black faux fur vest and studded booties. And not only does this look work perfectly for the holidays, it will work well beyond the month of December too.

Can you guys believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve? I can hardly wrap my head around it. Thank you so much for stopping by and for all of your support this year. I appreciate you all so much. Wishing you and your loved ones a cozy, safe, and wonderful Christmas celebration.

And Happy Friday!

xoxo,
