Neon

I love a good pop of neon. And this cute top from last summer is still one of my favorite things in my closet. It’s just one of those items that looks great with just about everything-denim, shorts, skirts-you name it! You can also see how I styled it last summer, here!

Hope you guys are all having a fantastic week! I have to say, I am so looking forward to next week and the 4th of July, that this week feels like it is just crawling by! But at least we’ve hit the half way mark! Happy hump day, girlfriends!

Black and White

On June 22, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have to wear all black when I do store visits for work, so I typically tend to shy away from wearing a lot of black in my personal life. But when I saw this cute dress at Express-I just couldn’t resist. I was initially drawn to it because of the cute one shoulder silhouette, but the black and white tribal print feels so fresh for the season. Plus, the fun ruffle details makes it totally different from anything else I have in my wardrobe. And I have to say, I am really looking forward to dressing this one up AND down for a more casual looks this summer!

Dress: Express (on sale for $21!!), also comes in black and red (perfect for the 4th!) and a version with straps | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Bracelet: House of Harlow via Rocksbox (use code abbyxoxo for your first month FREE!) | Ring: Kendra Scott | Clutch: Clare Vivier, similar | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Wedges: Jessica Simpson (on sale!)

Pleats

I am loving the pleated trend this season. And of course navy. I don’t know what it is about navy dresses, but I am always drawn to them. So when I spotted this navy pleated number at BCBG, I knew it was a great summer dress-perfect for a plethora of different occasions, and an easy piece to style a lot of different ways. And those are the best types of items to add to your wardrobe-the ones that give you lots of options…

Gingham

On June 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

Gingham has always been one of my very favorite prints. So when I saw that my favorite Portofino shirt from Express came in a light blue gingham this spring, it was an obvious choice to add to my wardrobe. And let me tell you, I have already worn this shirt a ton AND have so many more ideas of how I will continue to style it different ways all summer long. But I want to know, what you are guys thinking of the gingham trend this season?

Sheinside

On June 4, 2015June 4, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve been eyeing the Sheinside website for quite a while now. So when they reached out and asked if I would be interested in trying out some of their clothes, I couldn’t help but oblige. And while there were SO many cute things to choose from on their site, I ultimately settled on a dress that is almost identical to my favorite Free People dress (which you can see here). At a mere price tag of $30 vs. the $148 original version, I wanted to compare the two and really get a feel for the quality of clothing on Sheinside. And you guys, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. While it is a little shorter than the my Free People dress, I overall like the fit better. The arms were also a little slimmer too, which I also prefer. And I have to say, I was also quite impressed with the quality-not only the was the fabric very nice, but the dress was also fully lined. After this experience, I will definitely be shopping with Sheinside again. In fact, you can see my current wish list at the bottom of the post!

Follow the links below to see the other items on my wishlist from Sheinside (and ALL are under $30!!):

Blue Long Sleeve Dress

Peplum and Chiffon Top

Black and White Stripe Tank

White Lace Top

Chiffon Bow Blouse

Floral Peplum Dress (dead ringer for one from Anthro that was swooning over last season!)

Crochet Blouse (my favorite!)

Cold Shoulder Dress

Side Slit Blue Floral Dress

Pleated Cami Dress

White Lace Dress (very similar to the Free People version)

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

Tailor Made

On June 2, 2015June 1, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas2 Comments

As I’ve gotten older, I have learned the importance of a good tailor. And that just because something doesn’t fit you off the rack, doesn’t mean that it can’t still work for you. And the dress in today’s post is the perfect example. My mom and I stumbled on this gem at Anthropologie when my parents were in town a couple of weekends ago. It was originally $228 and we found it on the sale rack marked down to $48 (um, WOW!). It was the gorgeous fabric that initially drew me to it, but the original length was tea length and it just swallowed me up and was really unflattering. But neither of us could get over the fabric (you should see it in person!) so we hatched a plan to have it shortened and I took it to my tailor (who also couldn’t get over the fabric), and he shortened it for me for a mere $20. And I have to say, I think it is one of my very favorite dresses in my closet right now. I guess it goes to show that it can be worth it to think outside of the box a little bit. So if you don’t have a tailor, I would definitely suggest finding a good one in your neighborhood-you just never know when they might come in handy!

Neon

On May 27, 2015May 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

We have been having the rainiest weather here in Utah, which has made it really difficult to take outfit photos. So my apologies for being a little quiet over here on the blog. Hopefully once we get through this week, our normal sunny weather will decide to return to us! But today, I wanted to share one of my favorite tops with you. And not just because I love it, but because you can score it on MAJOR sale today! Not only is it the perfect length (a little longer than most button downs), but it has super cute grosgrain ribbon trim, and is the perfect punch of color for both spring and summer (think of how cute it would look with white!!). Link is below!

Hope you are all having a fantastic! Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Casual Friday

On March 20, 2015March 19, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I hardly ever wear flats. Part of it is because I am short, so I feel pretty short (and stumpy!) when I’m not in heels. But the other reason is because I have super narrow feet (and big!) feet, and I just can’t ever seem to find any that fit me properly! But when I spotted these leopard sneakers on the clearance rack at Macy’s a few weeks ago during a work trip (my feet were aching from being in heels and on my feet all day!), I thought it might not hurt to give them a try. And, while I can’t say I’m fully convinced that I pull them off, I am so glad that I am least trying. They have actually been the perfect commuter shoe when I’m working in the city, and I have even found myself gravitating towards them to run errands, or to ride my cruiser to dinner. And as much as I love my pumps and heels, I guess it isn’t really feasible to wear them everywhere….

Happy, happy Friday y’all! J and I are heading to Jackson Hole with friends to celebrate his birthday and I absolutely cannot wait to hit the road this afternoon!! Wishing you all a fun filled weekend as well!

Leopard Blazer

On March 18, 2015March 18, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Like I’ve always said, leopard can be used as a neutral and works well back to pretty much any color you have in your closet. But truth be told, leopard and red is one of my all-time favorite combos-a pair that I often find myself gravitating towards. And since neutrals have been reigning supreme in my closet as of late, I decided it was time to put a little pop of color back in my wardrobe-and this was the perfect choice!

Blazer: Nordstrom Rack (old), similar, similar | Silky Tank: Express (a new favorite silhouette-comes in a tons of colors!) | Skinnies: Paige (in LOVE with these Paige skinnies-they completely hold their shape and don’t bag out at all. AH-mazing!) | Bracelets: Rocksbox, Lucky Brand | Watch: Michael Kors | Necklace: Jeweliq | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Tory Burch | Pumps: Michael Kors (sold out), LOVE these

I also wanted to take a minute and wish my guy a very Happy Birthday today! I can’t wait to see what adventures the next year has in store!!!! Cheers to another trip around the sun!
