The Bomb

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of a great surplus jacket.  And you know what else I love?  A good bomber jacket.  I really find that this time of year, jackets are just my jam.  Whether you wear one with a dress, or style it back to jeans, jackets are the quintessential layering piece for the always unpredictable Spring weather!DSC_5376 DSC_5375 DSC_5409 DSC_5437 DSC_5431 DSC_5403 DSC_5399 DSC_5424 DSC_5414 DSC_5469Jacket: Make Me Chic c/o (wearing a size small for reference)

Dress: Nordstrom (obsessed with these AND they are under $50! see how I styled it in pink here, and in red here)

Favorites

Not all outfits are created equal.  There are always some that I love more than others, and this is definitely one of those.  Perhaps it’s because this dress reminds me of something that I wore when I auditioned for collegiate music programs back in the day, or perhaps it’s because it incorporates so many of my favorite things (surplus vest, yellow pumps, Panama hat, dress with pockets, etc.) into one look.  Whatever the reason, this is just one of those outfits that really feels like “me”, and one I can’t wait to wear again!

Denim Vest

Another day, another vest.  Or so seems to go my wardrobe rotation these days.  But really, I just can’t help it.  Vests are the perfect piece to throw on this time of year for a little extra layering.  Plus, they add just the right amount of interest to an outfit to make you look extra put together.  So even though I know I’ve told you guys a million times, I’ll say it again, every gal needs a great denim vest in her wardrobe!DSC_5037DSC_5132DSC_5075 DSC_5045 DSC_5062 DSC_5067 DSC_5056 DSC_5089 DSC_5108 DSC_5087 DSC_5114Top: ASOS (love this and it’s only $35!)

Hope you guys are having a good week.  I am finally starting to feel a little bit better.  And thank goodness, because I am changing up my hair today!  Going to go longer and lighter for the Spring/Summer season.  Be sure to follow along on Snapchat (alldolledupblog) for a sneak peek!

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!

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.

Cozy

Scarves have always been a favorite accessory of mine in the winter.  But this gorgeous pink number just might be my favorite scarf.  Ever.  Not only do I love the color, but the material is so incredibly soft and cozy.  It really is the perfect statement accessory for colder weather, AND it makes me feel like I’m wrapped up in a cloud.

Sunglass Secret

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time now, then you probably know that I am obsessed with sunglasses.  And you also probably know that I love a good deal.  So with that said, I have always found myself in a bit of a conundrum when it comes to sunglasses-always wanting the latest designer pairs, but refusing to pay the high ticket price.  ENTER: Ditto!

If you guys haven’t heard of Ditto, it’s a super cool company that lets you rent ANY pair of designer sunglasses or glasses from their site for just $24/month.  There is no contract, and you can swap them out as often as you want (with free shipping and returns!).  And if you decide you want to keep them, then you can buy them for 15% off! How cool is that?  I have been able to test out so many different pairs of Prada, Karen Walkers, Ray-Bans, Dior’s, and even have my eye on a pair of Illesteva to try next!  So if you are anything like me want to try the sunnies without the hefty price tag, then Ditto is definitely or you.

PLUS, you can get your first month FREE if you use code: ALLDOLLEDUPBLOG at check out!

And without further adieu, here are a few of my favorite pairs that I would definitely recommend trying:DSC_2782 DSC_0905

Plaid Shirt Dress

If you don’t have a go-to plaid shirt dress in your wardrobe, then I would highly recommend purchasing one in the new year.  They are such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down and will give you tons of options for different outfits to create in your wardrobe.  A denim vest is also an excellent choice if you are looking to add a few new silhouettes to your closet in 2016!  Be sure to shop my favorite plaid dresses and vests below!

Rusted

Rust isn’t always a color I am drawn to in my wardrobe.  But when I saw this pretty sweater at JCrew (on MAJOR sale, by the way!), I thought it would be a perfect option for Thanksgiving and the Holiday season.  It is super cozy and a great color that is different than anything else in my closet and surprisingly goes with so many different things in my wardrobe.  Plus, how great are these lace-up pumps?  Definitely my current favorites (and they’re on sale too!).
