Second Chance

On March 3, 2015March 3, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas4 Comments

There is a funny saying floating around Instagram that says: “Nothing haunts us like the things we didn’t buy”. And every time I see it, I have a good chuckle, because sometimes it isn’t that far from the truth! Such was the case for the sweater in today’s post. I tried it on at JCrew last summer and decided not to buy it (even though I loved it). And I have always regretted not purchasing it. So when I saw that JCrew Factory released an almost identical version a few weeks ago-I pounced! And I am SO glad that I did. Not only did I get a great deal on it, but it is such a pretty and unique piece that I know I will wear for years to come. Thank goodness for second chances!

Print Mixing

On February 27, 2015February 27, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I love that it’s perfectly acceptable to mix different prints together (thank you Jenna Lyons!). I mean really, a couple of years ago, I never would have thought to wear leopard and tribal prints together. In the same outfit. But for whatever reason, it works. And perhaps more importantly? It’s FUN. And in my book, fashion should always be fun, don’t you think?

Jacket: H&M (old), my other favorite black faux leather jacket | Sweater: H&M (can’t find online, but check in store-it’s only $9.95 and comes in TONS of colors!!!!), similar, LOVE this | Peplum Top: Gap, love this | Skinnies: 7 for all mankind | Necklace: Raven + Lily | Sunnies: Karen Walker | Bag: Clare Vivier, clutch version | Pumps: Joe’s Jeans (under $60 and really comfy!)

Happy, happy Friday to you and yours! Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by and I will see you Monday!!

Remix

I love a good stripe. And even though this blazer is a few years old, it is still one of my very favorite things. Because to be totally honest, while it’s always fun to buy new items for your wardrobe (duh!), it can be equally as fun to challenge yourself to style tried-and-true pieces in new and creative ways…

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

Shades of Pink (and gray!)

On February 23, 2015February 23, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I’m baaaaaack!!!! 🙂 Hope you guys don’t mind that I took a few days off from sharing outfit inspiration to enjoy my vacay in Nicaragua with my hubby. We had such a fun and relaxing time-but it’s nice to be back home and feels even better to be getting back into a routine-which of course, includes blogging!

So if you hadn’t already noticed, I’ve been really into a neutrals as of late. And as a professed lover of color, this is definitely a change for me. But one combo I have always, loved, whether I am in a neutral or color phase, has always been pale pink and gray. It is such a timeless and simple combo and perfect back to a bright pink pump if you are looking to add a little extra punch of color!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! And if you want to check out some of our vacation pics, but sure to stop by my Instagram: alldolledupblog

Happy Monday!

Blushing

On January 19, 2015January 18, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I don’t know what it is, but I have really been gravitating towards neutrals lately. And while blush pink is the “it” color right now-it has always been one of my personal favorites. So I have been more than happy to wear my blush pink items outside of the spring and summer months this winter. But I want to know, how are you guys feeling about blush pink this season?

Blush Pink Jacket: Guess (old), similar, similar, LOVE this one, and this one | Leopard Top: Jane.com (not currently available), love this and this | Skinnies: American Eagle Denim X (obsessed) | Necklace: INC | Sunnies: Karen Walker, less expensive version | Bag: Tory Burch | Pumps: Jessica Simpson, similar (also under $50!)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I was lucky enough to spend mine in Austin, TX celebrating the wedding of my one of my dearest friends. SUCH a fantastic wedding weekend.

Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Blanket Scarf

On January 12, 2015January 11, 2015 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas2 Comments

I love the blanket scarf trend. It’s such a chic way to stay cozy during the cold winter months, and a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit. In fact, I picked up this scarf at the Gap last season (you can see how I styled it last year on the blog here) for this very reason. I love having the (practical) option of adding a pretty pop of blue and pink to an outfit during the winter months. But I want to know, what do you all think about the blanket scarf trend???

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by!!

TGIF

I can’t even begin to tell you guys how happy I am that it is Friday! Why does the first full week of the year always seem to go by so slowly? Just another one of life’s many mysteries, I guess! Anyway, today I wanted to share a super casual outfit with you all that is one of my go-to looks. As much as I love color, I am obsessed with gray and love it paired with white-especially when you throw in a pop of cognac. I don’t know if it’s the dreariness of January or the post holiday blues, but this is a combo I’ve been reaching for all week. And don’t forget to scroll to the bottom of the post to see if you won the $50 Bohme Boutique giveaway!

Black and White

On January 6, 2015January 5, 2015 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

Sometimes there is no better color combo than classic black and white. Especially when paired back to a pop of leopard and a bold lip to add a little dimension. Plus, do you guys love beanies as much as I do? I’m pretty sure I would wear one every day if I could. Not only are they super cute and cozy, but they are also completely practical for this time of year. And when fashion and practicality collide, you can almost always rest assured that I’m a fan!!!
