All About That Dress

On October 30, 2015October 30, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’ve probably said it quite a few times this season, but I’ll go ahead and say it again. I LOVE long sleeve dresses for Fall. Especially with paired with a fun pair of booties. And this particular dress in today’s post just might be my favorite. Not only is the print super cute, but the fit is easy and flattering and the little ruffled flounce at the bottom gives it a little extra oomph!

Dress: Loft (also comes in tall for you taller gals out there!) | Necklace: Stella & Dot (old), DYING for this and this | Cuff: Stella & Dot | Sunnies: Karen Walker (try them for one month FREE with code ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Bag: Tory Burch | Booties: Carlos Santana (my faves AND they’re on sale!)

I love a good off-the-shoulder dress. And the pretty color of this one sold me almost immediately. Plus, I’m always a big fan of pieces that can be styled a plethora of different ways. And this dress is just that, the perfect blank slate.

Gingham

On September 24, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

This gingham romper was one of my very favorite purchases of the summer. And because I’m not ready to put it away quite yet, I decided to change it up a bit and style it with a utility vest and booties to make it more appropriate for the Fall season. And you know what? It totally works and I am really loving the look. What are some creative ways you guys transition your favorite summer pieces into cooler months? I’d love to hear!

Romper: Ralph Lauren D&S (sold out), similar dress (under $20!), similar | Vest: H&M (old), similar, similar | Bag: Tory Burch (sold out), NEW fall version | Sunnies: Karen Walker (try them for one month FREE with ditto.com-just enter ALLDOLLEDUP at checkout!) | Booties: Vince Camuto (SOOOOO comfy!)

Work It

On September 15, 2015September 15, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I don’t often post many wear-to-work inspired ideas on the blog. You guys always seem to respond really well to my more casual and laid back looks, so that is what I tend to stick with sharing. But because dressing for work is such an important part of our wardrobes, I want to start infusing a few more of these posts into the mix.

That said, when I am looking for things to wear to work, I like to try and invest in classic and timeless pieces that I can style a lot of different ways. I also travel a ton for my job, so I also tend to gravitate towards fabrics that pack well and wear well on an airplane or in a car. And of course for me, even though I have to dress “business casual” the majority of the time, comfort still plays an important role in my workday wardrobe choices.

So if you are looking to improve or expand upon your current 9-5 wardrobe, but aren’t sure where to start, two staples that I recommend for every working girl? A go-to black dress, and a classic camel coat.

And don’t forget! If you want to try my Prada Sunnies (or any of my favorite Karen Walker sunglasses for that matter!) you can rent them for ONE MONTH FREE! After that it’s $19 a month for as many or as a few months as you would like! So if you are like me and love designer sunnies, but hate the crazy price tag, this is definitely the way to go.

Casual Friday

On September 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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.

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?

All About Those Shoes

On August 28, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I have been wanting these shoes for a long time, but was a little unsure about the price tag. So after adding them to my Nordie’s shopping bag about 50 times over the last couple of months, I finally decided to go for it. And you know what? I am SO glad that I did. Not only are they super comfortable but they go with WAY more than I thought they would.

In fact, I wore them while I was in Seattle this week for meetings and literally had co-workers and people on the street stopping me to ask where they were from! Plus, since they are a perfect mix between a bootie and shoe, they are a great transitional piece for Fall!

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you have fun plans to enjoy the last few days of summer. I’ve been traveling like crazy, so am just excited to have the chance to sleep in my own bed for a few nights!

T-Shirt Dress

On August 17, 2015August 16, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I am a huge fan of t-shirt dresses. And I have been especially loving this one lately. First of all, it’s striped (duh!), second, the high low hem-line makes it really unique, and last but not least, it’s under $10! Say what?? Don’t you just love a good deal on a great closet staple? I know I certainly do. PLUS, this is another great example of a piece that is perfect for now and later!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! If you follow me on Insta (if you don’t, you can follow me here: alldolledupblog), then you know we were in Steamboat Springs, CO for a bike race. We had SUCH a great time! Hard to have to get back to reality today.

Happy Monday, friends!

Color

I can already feel myself doing it. Gravitating towards neutral and fall colors. And while I love it, I know I need to slow down and appreciate the colors of summer. So today’s post serves as a good reminder that there is still plenty of time left to wear all of the brights that the warmer months tend to inspire…

Happy Monday darlings! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

Fiesta!

On July 21, 2015July 20, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

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
