In my polka dot era! I went for an alternative and chose a brown dress with white polka dots. It has a v neck with ruffles that carry to the sleeves and the midi cut makes it much more elegant and conservative. It was a bit chilly so I tossed in a black bomber.

For a warm weather date night, I wore my brown gingham midi dress with shoulder bows! The dress is true to size and fits perfectly without any alterations required. I paired these with my comfortable slingbacks so we could walk around afterwards.

A mini shift dress is perfect for summer! I wore this on my first full day in Vancouver. I paired this floral dress with my white buttery top handle bag and nude two strap heels.

For a day along the lake, a loose breathable dress is one of my top picks. We also did an impromptu hike later in the day so this allowed me to easily change in the car. Anyways, I love color coordination so I mixed shades of green with a pop of black and gold dispersed throughout. #kaftan #mididress #monochromatic #oldmoney

Whenever I want to deviate from an all black outfit, I simply add one bold item. For this look, it’s a snakeskin/python print high waisted pencil skirt. It adds more complexity to an otherwise monochromatic outfit. I also adore anything midi cut because it’s a bit more modest and elegant.

If I’m wearing an all black outfit, I always like adding some visually appealing details. Whether it’s with accessories or shapes and textures, I don’t want my look to appear flat. For this black ensemble, I wore a cashmere/wool blend cocoon sleeve top with a suede belt and I’m sure you can take a wild guess as to what the focus should be on! I’ve had these boots for OVER 10 YEARS! They’re no longer in stock but they’ve held up wonderfully! I will eventually need to take them to a cobbler for some touch-ups but high quality pieces really do withstand the test of time… and temperature!

Can you believe this is the first time I’m wearing an organza dress as an adult? I’ve had some other mixed media ones but this is a full head to toe look with that fabric! This is the perfect spring maxi dress that’s perfect for a garden party or any other gathering! I paired this lilac and pink toned dress with my amaranth Lady Dior and nude strap block heels for a day out in La Jolla.

Monochromatic green for today’s work outfit! Even though it’s warm in SoCal, it’s always windy and chilly in South San Francisco. There’s something about creating an outfit in one color palette that exudes old money sophistication. I paired this chunky Tory Burch cableknit bug sweater with my high waisted leather pleated midi skirt. To add a pop of color, I wore my caramel colored pointy heels and tri-color chevron MCM tote!

I was physically at work for just one day and it was a rather casual meeting so I wore one of my favorite trench coats. The weather is rather fickle in SSF so I always need a layering piece! I also run cold so I layered my cashmere sweater on top of a collar shirt. This was one of my outfit formulas in college that I carried to my corporate life!

It’s a beautiful day for lounging outdoors and soaking in some sunshine. This one piece has a silver belt along the waist and if you look closely, you’ll notice that has a subtle pattern on it. I paired it with my high waisted slip skirt that has a hint of periwinkle on the bottom. For accessories, I kept it minimal with a buttery soft top handle bag and a big floppy hat.

As a woman who travels often for work, having easy no fuss pieces is a must. This simple shirtdress works well not only on it’s own but also as a lightweight jacket on top of a solid foundation. For this look, I wore it as a simple dress and added some simple black accessories. I went straight to the airport so I swapped my d’orsay heels for platform sneakers.

A pop of color in my outfit always boosts my serotonin levels! For this week’s workwear look, I based the foundation of my outfit off my mustard coat! I wanted something that complemented yellow so I chose this mixed media brown blouse with a bow. Instead of tying it in a knot, I left it loose all day so it was similar to an undone tie or long silk scarf. To elongate my frame, I paired it with my high waisted pleated trousers.

Lightweight dresses on breezy days are as iconic as florals for Spring! This dress has a unique tie design in the back which makes this an interesting piece both in the front and back. The shoulder straps are adjustable so it ensures that you have adequate lift and support in front!

Swimsuits as top are great for short trips outdoors unless I’m actually at the beach or poolside! I paired this with my high waisted pinstriped pants and a floppy hat for a classy old money look. I love how this swimsuit has double straps, bow detailing and ruffles on the front.

There’s something about a boat neck (bateau) neckline that really draws me in. It accentuates my collarbone and I feel that this elegant design choice instantly elevates any look. Coupled with the wide neck curvature, this dress has an asymmetrical cut with some fabric layered on one side. This can easily be worn to a cocktail event but I decided to wear it to work! Gone are the days of saving clothes for a special occasion!

With such busy schedules, it’s hard to carve out some time for a proper date night but we try to do something at least once a month! For the occasion, I wore this chestnut maxi dress that has a slip and sheer overlay on top complete with velvet floral details. I often steer clear of cap sleeves since the cut tends to look unflattering on my arms but the little poof and cinch styling on it somehow makes it look decent! I wore gold earrings along with some simple black strappy heels to complete the look!

Playing with blues today! If there’s an opportunity to spruce up an otherwise boring item, I’ll take it! I was looking for a crisp collar button down and this midnight blue one caught my eye. The glistening buttons were the first thing to stand out among all the other classic pieces on display; I knew I had to add this to my collection immediately! Instead of opting for a simple bottom, I paired this top with an asymmetrical brocade pencil skirt. To add a little more jazz to this look, I wore my jeweled Kurt Geiger heeled mules - the silver crystals that span the top of these heels match the buttons on the button down!

Black and white looks dominate my corporate rotation. I love this sheer collar button down top with pleated sleeve details - it’s always a conversation starter! To make this look professional, I paired it with a high waisted midi pencil skirt. Of course, I didn’t want it to be just a basic skirt so I found this one with a ruffle flowing down the side. I wore this to an all day conference and a quick evening reception in the evening. #businesscasual #oldmoney #pencilskirt #corporatestyle #blackandwhiteoutfit

A baby blue one piece with minimalistic design will be one of the best acquisitions for your summer swim rotation! I typically opt for gold hardware but silver really works against the blue! I love the faux belt detail that runs along the front of your waist since it highlights your nature curves! This also has a high leg cut so it makes your legs even longer! Making swimsuits function as tops is my go to resort style so I paired this with a high waisted skirt for a day.

There’s something about a black and white one piece that exudes sophistication and class. I find myself gravitating towards more modest swimwear options such as a one piece and RIHOAS has a lot of options. I love the simple feminine cut of this style and the added belt around the waist gives this a little extra charm! If I’m not basking in the sun or in the water, I typically add some sort of coverup. What’s your go-to beach look?

The warm weather looks like it’ll be here to stay so I’m pulling out all my swimwear! I have an affinity for one piece swimsuits since it’s more flattering on my figure. This midnight blue ribbed piece isn’t basic! There’s ribbed fabric, underwire, criss-cross detailing on the back, and thick shoulder straps to provide added comfort.

If I’m wearing a swimsuit around a resort, I often coverup and accessorize. I felt like color blocking was the way to go here so I paired this with my ruffled orange mini skirt from Leifsdottir. This was one of my favorite brands but they were discontinued many years back… Anyways, since my clothing was already bold, I kept my accessories to a minimum with a neutral colored bucket bag and circle sun hat.

A monochromatic blue look for a cool work day! It’s finally warm enough to wear sleeveless tops to the office again! I paired this slate grey vest that has silver buttons running down the middle with my midnight blue high waisted trousers. These are the most flattering pair of trousers I own that hug my legs in all the right places and makes my behind look a little more perky! Don’t worry, they’re still professional and do not raise any HR violations! Instead of opting for a completely monochromatic head to toe outfit, I broke it up with cognac colored accessories.

Everything in my closet used to be mini. From skirts to shorts, it was all way above my knee. However, as I’ve matured, I find myself gravitating towards less revealing looks. I recall not being the midi style’s biggest fan but now, it’s my preferred cut. I got this floral silk satin midi skirt as season 3 of The White Lotus began and every time I look at this, it transports me to a tropical place. I wanted to keep the focus on the skirt so I kept everything else simple. This ivory silk sleeveless top offers a subtle contrast to the cream color on the skirt but they both tie into my satchel.

For today’s casual yet professional look, I wore the latest addition to my closet, these light washed, wide legged, cuffed denim jeans. I’m typically not a fan of cuffed pants since it makes me look shorter but with high heels, it works! My workplace is pretty laid back but I wanted to spruce this look up a little so I layered up my cashmere top with a blue and yellow tweed jacket.

My typical outfit formula when I have nothing to wear for work is a pencil skirt and top combination. This pencil skirt feels silky smooth on and has a black floral pattern on it. To keep it minimal, I paired it with a black long sleeve flare cuff top.

Shopping my own closet allows me to be so much more creative. I transformed this shirtdress into a lightweight jacket and layered it over a pleated midi skirt. Since it was looking a bit too big, I added a little more definition with a belt.

I’ll take any excuse to dress up so themed parties are always an exciting opportunity for me to tap into the creative part of my brain. My company had a 1920’s themed New Year’s party and it was wonderful to see everyone all dressed up! I wanted a unique dress and this asymmetrical fringe one definitely checked that box. This mahogany dress has beautiful beading on top and since it was a bit chilly, I layered up with a faux fur shawl.

I have no idea how the ladies of the 20’s did it but my head was throbbing by the end of the night. The headpiece left an enormous indent after wearing it for 5 hours; I was so glad to pop it off my forehead and let my skin come back to its normal form!

Since there was already so much going on, I kept the rest of my accessories simple. I went with a single strand of pink freshwater pearls on top of a single pearl drop necklace. I wanted to keep with the times so I got this beautiful gold metallic art deco top handle evening bag. It was really moody inside with the lighting so pictures don’t do this look justice but it was such an incredible night with even better company.

A black power suit is always a good idea when you have nothing to wear. I love this A.L.C. Blazer since it cinches my waist and has gold buttons that line the front of this piece and along the sleeves. It adds a little more depth and character to an otherwise muted look.

I had a lot of business travel during the last leg of the year and it often meant that I went from my meeting straight to the airport. It was humid and gloomy in Texas but I still wanted to look put together so I wore a slightly oversized grey wool houndstooth blazer on top of a cropped sweater vest and straight leg pants. I’m also making an effort to wear all my bags so I have this backpack some air time! #businesscasual #houndstoothjacket #corporatestyle #9to5style #workwear

It was 80 this past weekend and I enjoyed the warm sunny weather. I have so many collar button down shirts and my goal is to wear all of them at least once this year. If I find any of them hard to style, I’ll be listing it on my Poshmark. This year is all about decluttering and shopping my own closet! For this look, I paired a chartreuse printed top with high waisted blue sailor shorts and my amaranth Lady Dior.

Chartreuse is one of my favorite colors and every time I wear it, my mood is instantly elevated. This flowy maxi dress is the perfect piece for spring and I envision myself wearing this on my next island vacation! I often find style inspiration from my surroundings and for this look, it happened to be a pistachio. I went with my floppy hat with flower designs, a butter yellow bucket bag and some green gradient heels. #maxidress #vacationstyle #bucketbag #floppyhat #islandstyle

A classic black and white look for a day at the office. I started with an ivory base, sleeveless collar top with a high waisted pencil skirt, and added some black statement pieces. I always get so many compliments every time I wear this cropped lace jacket and these suede and leather kitten heel mules allow me to run around to meetings and work dinners without any pain! #corporatestyle #classyoutfit #oldmoney #blackandwhite #businesscasual #9to5style

These days, I value comfort in the sky but I still want to look chic! When I went to OKC, I wore these navy blue linen pants that are breathable and lightweight along with a simple white tank top and an oversized striped collar shirt. The roominess of these pieces added to their practicality for air travel! #ootd #traveloutfit #linenpants #oversizedshirt #frequentflyer

#LTKootd #LTKTravel #LTKPetite

I went for a very casual but warm look for my meeting in Chicago. I layered with a thermal and this box jacket. Of course I couldn’t leave the hotel with just this, I popped on my trusty puffer coat to ensure I could beat the cold weather. Also, boot cut jeans look so flattering on my frame!

I’ve been shopping my own closet and giving new life to some pieces I used to love. This suede fringe jacket was an outerwear piece I used to love so I reimagined it to my current style. It was chilly and sprinkling so I layered it on top of my long sleeve sweater dress and added my water repellent boots. This was the perfect casual date night look to keep me warm. #boho #suedejacket #fringejacket #sweaterdress

I turned an otherwise simple outfit into something a little different with some faux fur cuffs. I got these back in undergrad as boot cuffs but decided to give them another chance of life as sleeve cuffs. I’m all for shopping my own closet and making the most of what I already own! To break up an otherwise all black outfit, I wore this slate grey A-line skirt.
