Tunic

Confession: I ordered this “top” thinking that it was a dress. But when it arrived, it was much too short, and the slit was way too high (yikes!) for me to wear it as a dress, let alone in public. Ha! But I loved the print and fabric so much (it is a nice, sturdy scuba material), that I stewed over how to wear it for a while, not wanting to return it. And I finally decided that it could indeed be worn be worn as a top. In the end, while I still wish it was a dress, I am loving how it looks with leggings, and can’t wait to wear it again when the temperature drops with a cute blazer or leather jacket.

Have you guys ever had a similar experience ordering online before?

Tunic: Shein c/o (I would suggest ordering once size up) | Leggings: JCrew (I SWEAR by these, AND they’re on sale for under $55!!) | Cuff: Forever21 (old) love this | Ring: House of Harlow | Sunnies: Karen Walker (rent them for FREE for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout, and then just $24/month after that for as many months as you choose!) | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim | Heels: Vince Camuto (old), craving these

Hope you are all having a great week. I am traveling again for meetings this week. And I have to tell you, the past few weeks have been so packed full of travel for me that I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that tomorrow marks the first day of October! Where on earth did September go? Cray cray!! 🙂

Thanks for stopping by!

Leather and Lace

On September 8, 2015September 7, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I love this time of year when I can transition my summer dresses into the Fall season. And even more than that, I love that I don’t have to put my white items away after Labor Day! Because as perfect as this white lace dress was to wear during the summer months, I actually prefer it dressed up with Fall ready accessories. And if you didn’t buy this FANTASTIC faux leather jacket last year (it is my absolute FAVORITE), it’s not too late, because Nordstrom brought it back again this season. It really is just that good (and it’s under $100)!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. Can you believe we are back to another work week already??? I think ALL weekends should be at least three days long, don’t you?

Romper Style

On July 31, 2015July 30, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

So now that I’ve decided I can wear the off-the-shoulder trend (see this post where I talk about how I didn’t think it would work for my body type), I can’t seem to get enough of it. Ha! Isn’t that the way that it always goes. But I have to say that for me lately, it doesn’t get much better than an off-the-shoulder romper. My husband and I love to bike in the summer and often ride our tandem road bike to dinner or drinks and apps, so I am always looking for cute outfits that are appropriate for bike riding AND date night (which is much harder than you would think!). But I have found that rompers, above all else, always seem to fit the bill. Especially when they cost less than $20!!

Romper: SheIn c/o (under $30!!!) | Ring: Macy’s (anniversary gift from my sweet hubby!) | Clutch: Clare Vivier | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Heels: Marc Fisher (old), similar here and here

Happy, happy Friday sweet friends! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! And don’t forget, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends Sunday. So don’t miss out on your chance to save a ton on a lot of amazing outfits. You can see all of my top picks here and here. AND most are under $100. Can’t beat that!

Fringe Benefits

I love a good striped dress. And with the slightly cooler weather here in the SLC that has been layering itself in with our typically hot temps, I have found that some evenings, it’s nice to have a light coat with me as an option. Plus these tassel shoes. I can’t even. I’m pretty sure they are my favorite purchase from the #NSale. They are less than $90 and also come in black and red. So if you are looking for a pair of really fun statement shoes, then look no further, my friends. Happy Monday!

Dress: SheIn c/o (obsessed AND it’s under $20!) | Jacket: Gap (old), similar | Cuff: Macy’s | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Fringe Heels: Steve Madden (on sale!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Fiesta!

I’ve been a little slow to hop on the off-shoulder-trend. It’s not that I don’t love it, because I do. My hesitation has been that I have broad shoulders and assumed it was a silhouette that would accentuate this and make me look wider on the top than I am. But once I started trying a few off-the-shoulder pieces on, I realized how wrong I was! And this dress is no exception. Not only is it fun and flirty, but it has beautiful laser cut trim, and makes me like I am going to a fun party or a fiesta! And even better than that? It’s under $20!!! So I want to know, how are you guys feeling about the off-the-shoulder trend?

Dress: SheIn c/o (under $20 and the quality is GREAT!) | Earrings: Kendra Scott | Clutch: Clare Vivier, LOVE this one | Sunnies: Isaac Mizrahi (under $50!) | Heels: INC

Summer Boho

On July 6, 2015 By all dolled upIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

I posted a photo on my Insta a couple of weeks ago wearing the top in today’s post, and I had so many questions about it, that I wanted to put it up on the blog. It is another score from SheIn, and is a dupe for the Free People version-but this one won’t break the bank at under $20. The quality is also great-just like the other pieces I have tried from SheIn. It’s little short on me to be worn as a dress (keep in mind I am only 5’3″), but you could easily wear something underneath to give it a little length. I styled mine with denim shorts and tied it in the back so that I could do a messy front tuck. I also love it paired it with booties to give it a perfect summer boho feel.

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend with your family and friends, and that your Monday isn’t too painful! 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!

White Out

On June 29, 2015 By all dolled upIn Favorite ProductsLeave a comment

I have been really loving white this summer. And you know what else I have been loving? SheIn (formerly Sheinside)! They have the cutest clothes for really amazing prices. And I have been impressed with the quality of all of the items I have ordered as well-especially this top. It is fully lined and the fabric is gorgeous-not to mention the fact that it looks WAY more expensive than it is. Would you believe me if I told you it was under $20??? Plus, if you spend over $49 with SheIn right now, you can get 35% off your order with code: sas35 at checkout. How’s that for a Monday pick me up?

Also, how cute would this outfit be for the 4th of July? The red and white combo is perfect for your festive occasion! And if it’s set to be hot where you are, you can always change out the denim for shorts, and the pumps for wedges! Easy as one, two, three!

You can also shop a few of my favorite dresses from SheIn below:

Red Off the Shoulder Dress

Black and White Striped Dress

White Lace Detail Dress

Pleated Dress

V-Neck Striped Dress

Floral Off the Shoulder Dress

Striped T-Shirt Tank Dress

Happy Monday, dolls!
