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!

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

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.

A collar button down and high waisted shorts combo never fails. This is my go to outfit formula that started during my Summer in Europe 2023 and is still going strong. For this look, I paired my mixed blue and white striped blouse with some pleated shorts and a minimalistic white bag for a casual day out. Have a wonderful weekend!

With Fall just a few days away, I wanted to slowly transition my cold weather favorites into my corporate look. Plaids are always a hit so I brought out my slightly oversized blue and brown coat. I layered it on top of a silk sleeveless top and my crochet 3D floral crochet pencil skirt. To keep the focus on my outfit, I wore neutral brown accessories.

I’m often zipping from one city to another and that requires comfortable shoes that don’t forgo style. I recently received these Ivana Walker Pro Hybrid Penny Loafers from VIVAIA and they check both boxes! There’s a cushioned insole with dual arch support along with heel padding to prevent blisters! The foam outsoles are a bit wider so it has the ability to absorb shock with each step. Here are 3 ways to wear these shoes!

Kept it simple with a black and white look for my meeting! I still love wearing the occasional mini dress but as I’ve gotten older, I find myself gravitating more towards midi lengths. There’s something more elegant about that cut!

Adding a little bit of print to my workwear outfits! With the heat and humidity in Tennessee, I decided to keep it cool and light for my meeting. I wore this sleeveless blue collar dress with a pineapple print and paired it with brown accessories.

Giving all my summer and lightweight dresses some air time while warm weather is still around! I love the unique draping of fabric across the top! It adds a little more depth to an otherwise simple dress!

Wore a simple pencil dress for a work meeting and then to the airport. I love a blue and brown combo so I paired this pencil dress with my brown tote bag.

I always have a little black dress handy for every occasion… especially work! You can never go wrong! This tweed sleeveless dress has two small pockets on either side with added floral embellishments. Since I wanted something classy and sophisticated, I kept my accessories in black or neutral tones.

I recently received this hydrating lip balm with jojoba oil from Prada. The jojoba oil hydrates and soothes your lips while the bifidus extract supports your lips’ natural skin barrier. Not only does this luxury lip balm produce a subtle shimmery warm golden glow on your lips, it’s incredibly moisturizing. As someone who travels often, retaining moisture is key for me and this absolutely fulfills that requirement. I would highly recommend this juicy banana scented lip balm to everyone!

Also, thank you @PradaBeauty for these Banana Jellies! They were absolutely delicious.

In that 70’s mood. I typically wear midi and maxi lengths for work so I only get to wear my mini dresses on the weekends! I love this bright and bold mini shift dress that’s perfect for spring and summer!

The one thing that’s at the top of my list when I’m putting together a travel outfit is comfort. I want something breathable and typically I need a layering piece. However, with the heat and humidity of the places I’ve been going to lately, I find that top with some thickness is sufficient. #traveloutfit #linenpants #sweatervest

The perfect summer striped maxi dress with a little peek-a-boo slit on the hip! #maxidress #stripeddress #summerstyle

My favorite thing to pack for work related events is a shirtdress. It’s simple yet professional and takes up very little room in my luggage. This one is still available!

A simple purple floral dress for a lunch date! I kept my accessories in the same color family with a purple bag, pink statement necklace and nude heels.

A simple leopard shift dress is perfect for daytime activities as well as date night! Since it was chilly, I added a bomber on top. I kept it simple with black accessories.

I’ve come to really embrace denim. I never wore denim jeans when I was younger. I only started incorporating them into my outfits as an undergrad. I briefly paused through grad school but picked it up during my last year when the pandemic hit. It was all about finding the right fit and style for my body. I love these light wash mid-rise flare jeans that make a casual look appear a little more elevated. #casualstyle #jeansstyle #denimlook #beadedjacket

For days where the weather fluctuates often, I always make sure I have a light jacket on me. I wanted to add some flavor so I pulled out my floral wide legged bottoms. Since it was already busy on the bottom, I kept it simple above with my butter yellow top and khaki shacket.

A little preppy in pink! I used to wear polos all the time in from middle to high school and I thought of them as my signature look. I soon retired them once I entered college but I still pull them out from time to time. I wore this pink polo with white trim for a casual day out that involved running to Costco and grabbing lunch. I paired it with my hair waisted pleated shorts and comfortable black heels!

Florals for Spring may not be groundbreaking but it works! This pink flower bodysuit is one of my favorites that works both for work as it does for the weekend! I paired it with my high waisted sailor shorts and a matching bag. For my shoe selection, I wore these beige two strap bow heels. They’re not too high so they’re comfortable and what’s even better is that they’re versatile!

A simple black shirt dress is such an easy piece to throw on when you have nothing to wear. I wore this asymmetrical dress for a casual day in La Jolla. #allblackoutfit #shirtdress

I used to wear so many cardigans in high school when Gossip Girl reigned the halls of the campus but I retired them as I entered undergrad. However, as an adult in corporate, I’m bringing them back! I wore one of my favorite cashmere cardigans here with some high waisted black trousers for an easy business casual look. #oldmoney #businesscasual

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKPetite #LTKWorkwear

There’s something about an eyelet dress that screams Spring! I‘be worn this midi version numerous times and it’s great by itself or layered up. Since it’s still a little breezy, I paired this eyelet dress with my midnight blue cardigan.
