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

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.

I wore my contrast collar and cuff top to kick start the year; this executive top with an orchid is the same one I’m wearing in my LinkedIn picture! Instead of wearing it with a leather pencil skirt, I paired it with a midnight blue with red wool plaid midi skirt. Since in office days are typically long, I opted for my suede and leather mules for comfort!

An outfit that’s work appropriate yet comfortable enough for travel. I paired this ivory cashmere sweater with my periwinkle pleated midi skirt. For accessories, I wore my black laptop tote bag and block slingback heels.

It’s still warm so I’m wearing my shorts and sleeveless tops for as long as I can. Since it was a bit breezy, I wore this butterfly and floral dress as a light coat on top of my silk top and high waisted pleated shorts. For accessories, I wore my amaranth Lady Dior and silver studded Rag & Bone flats.

Working in a corporate setting in the heart of biotech means learning how to dress warmly and professionally. I love creating new outfits because it allows me to tap into the creative side of my brain! Instead of opting for your typical all black business casual look, I decided to spruce it up with a grey-white-black blend cape with gold snap closures! This cape coat sure did make a statement - I found myself making an entrance and a grand departure every time I entered or exited a conference room.

Wore a neutral old money inspired look for my meeting today. I normally follow an internal outfit formula and rarely wear two oversized pieces together but I wanted something comfortable. I paired my double breasted plaid blazer with a cropped v-neck sweater vest along with my high waisted pleated trousers. For accessories, I chose my tan Tory Burch tote and my chocolate brown suede/leather ankle boots.

When i can’t seem to find the right outfit, an all black look is my default. I paired my jacquard peplum sleeveless top with my cigarette / ankle pants and slingbacks. To add a little definition to my look, I accessorized with a large square belt around my waist and my tri-colored MCM tote.

Attended Destination Defender and there was a mix of rain and sunshine. I wore my oversized barn jacket with my platform travel boots for a day of walking in the mud. This jacket is the perfect outwear piece that is both warm and lightweight. These chunky boots are water repellent and very comfortable!

#LTKootd #LTKPetite #LTKTravel

I went for a blue monochromatic bloom with a blue gray blend button up vest and midnight blue sailor shorts. Since the buttons on my vest were silver, I paired this look with my newly acquired silver beaded flats.

A brown monochromatic look that works equally well for a casual day out as it does for work. I paired this cropped brown floral box jacket with a brown pleated midi dress. Since I did want to break this up a bit, I wore my snakeskin two strap heels. #ootd #monochromatic

#LTKWorkwear #LTKStyleTip #LTKPetite

It still feels like summer so I’m able to wear linen pants and a tank top! I love these white linen pants because it has a vintage print similar to what you would typically see at Dior.

The perfect piece for the beach as the temperature drops is a smocked maxi dress. I have a number of smocked dresses with prints and designs from head to toe but there’s something more elegant about a plain black one.

My new go-to Fall boots are these chunky platform ones from VIVAIA. I love how’s they’re comfortable enough to wear all day and chic enough to be integrated into your daily casual wear.

Nothing screams Fall more than a plaid print. During my latest work trip, I wore this green and blue plaid sleeveless pencil dress. It was still humid in Texas so the sleeveless portion of this wool dress was a lifesaver!

An all black outfit with one of my new favorite pair of loafers! You can pair these up with leg warmers for a cozier look or remove them for a more sleek, classy appearance. They’re perfect for school, work, travel and beyond!

The easiest way to stay comfortable this season is with a sneaker loafer hybrid. This pair from VIVAIA is machine washable and water repellent!

Leaning into prints this season! It’s still very warm so I pulled out this cap sleeve, boat neck, ruched black and white polka dot midi dress. I wanted to make it a bit more glamorous so I paired it with my oversized floppy sun hat. I kept my accessories minimal with a slim black shoulder bag and nude double bow kitten heels.

Fall is here which means spooky season is right around the corner! To kick off the festivities, I’m incorporating black and orange into my wardrobe. I paired a sheer inlet satin collar button down with a pleated printed mini skirt for work.
