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

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.

#LTKItBag #LTKWorkwear #LTKPetite

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
