Twirly Girl

When I was a little girl, I LOVED skirts that I could twirl in.  I mean really, what little girl doesn’t? And even as an adult, I am still drawn pretty feminine skirts and dresses that make me feel like twirling around like a little kid.  And this gorgeous polka tulle skirt from Dainty Jewells does just that.  I mean really, tulle AND polka dots?  You had me with just the tulle!

If you aren’t familiar with Dainty Jewells, be sure to check them out.  They have so many beautiful and unique pieces on their site that you won’t find in a typical department store.  And if you are anything like me, it’s always important to invest in those special pieces for your wardrobe that make you a stand out.  And Dainty Jewells provides exactly that type of clothing at an affordable price.  They also have affordable bridesmaid dresses as well.  You can shop my skirt and some of my other favorite items below!

We had a massive snowstorm here in Utah yesterday, so it seems so weird posting these photos now that we have about 2 feet of snow on the ground at my house!  Fingers crossed this means we’ll have a white Christmas!

Cowl

I love a good turtleneck.  But I also love a good cowl neck.  And this cute and cozy waffle knit cowl from Free People has been a go-to for me all season.  My favorite pieces are those that answer the inevitable frustration of looking in your closet and feeling like you have nothing to wear, and this top does that flawlessly.  Plus, it’s on major sale right now too!

Holiday Ready

One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is dressing up for Holiday parties.  And sequins of course.  Lots and lots of sequins!  So when I saw this darling silver matte sequin swing dress at Fira (one of my favorite online boutiques), I knew it would be perfect for the holiday season!

For today’s post,  I’m styling it with a gorgeous blush jacket (that is UNDER $40, BTW), and my favorite floral crown, by the talented Miss Stevi Marie.  But I already have a laundry list of other ways I plan to wear this dress over the coming weeks.  In fact, I’m thinking of wearing it over a Christmas plaid button down to a party this coming weekend.  And how cute would it look with a black leather jacket?  The possibilities are endless with this one, laides!  PLUS it’s under $80!  As always, details are at the bottom of the post…

If you guys aren’t familiar with Fira Boutique, be sure to check them out.  They seriously have the cutest clothes, AND they are lovely to work with.  Definitely a new favorite of mine!!

Faux Fur

When I was in the 3rd grade, my auntie gave me a gorgeous white fur coat for Christmas.  And let me tell you, I was absolutely enamored with it.  That is until I overheard she and my mom talking about it on the phone and the fact that it was made from “bunnies”.  And after I heard that, I never wore the coat again.  But even though I learned form a very young age that I was not a proponent of real fur, I did stumble upon a love for faux fur that has never wavered.  And every year when the temperature drops, I look forward to pulling out all of my faux fur pieces, especially my faux fur vests!!

Olive The Other Sequins

One of my favorite aspects about fashion (and home decor!) is repurposing things that I already own.  And this sequin JCrew dress is a great example. I picked it up on clearance this summer and loved wearing it during the warmer months.  But because December is the month of sequins (and lots of red and green!), I wanted to try styling it for colder weather.  So I layered it with my favorite Portofino shirt from Express, and a new vest (that I’m completely obsessed with, BTW).  And I have to say, I love the result.  This is an outfit that would be great for a company Christmas party, a girl’s night out, or pretty much any dressy event that the month of December serves up!

Dress: JCrew (old), DYING over this version (on sale!), similar | Blouse: Express (these shirts are the BEST! I might have A LOT of them AND they’re buy one get one 50% off!) | Vest: Shein c/o (it’s under $30 and one of my favorite things in my wardrobe right now and the quality is great!  I’m wearing a medium for reference and I’m 5’3″ and a size 4/6) | Sunnies: Karen Walker c/o Ditto (try them for FREE for one month with code: ALLDOLLEDUP) | Cuffs: Stella & Dot | Necklace: Gigglosophy (under $35 and a great gift for yourself or a friend!) | Bag: Clare Vivier (sold out), clutch version | Pumps: BCBG (LOVE these! And they aren’t really this tight-my feet were super swollen from flying!)

Hope you all are having a great week!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sleeveless

Wanted to share another idea for a Thanksgiving dinner outfit with you all today.  I love the sleeveless outerwear trend this season, and pairing this cute plaid version back to a cozy ponte dress and a favorite pair of booties is one of my go-to looks. So not only would something like this be super cute for celebrating the holidays, but it’s comfy enough to leave plenty of room for that extra piece of pie. 🙂
