Enjoying the warm weather in the city while it lasts! This linen sleeveless shift dress is perfect not only for work but great for roaming around aimlessly. The ivory floral designs are a great contrast to the otherwise solid black dress. Since I was walking around, I wore these comfy sandals all day and didn’t end up with any foot pain!

Some of my favorite travel makeup and skincare products! I carry some full sized items but if I’m taking a short 1-2 day trip, I try to pack only TSA approved products in my carry-on. I started using Caudalie products late last year and I’m hooked! I’ve since added so many of their other products into my morning and evening skincare regimen!

Just out here checking all the boxes with my gingham pants 😉 I’m petite but these pants hit right at the ankle so there was no need to hem them! These pants are super stretchy and were comfortable for my 9-5 & beyond! As expected in SF, it’s always chilly so I layered up on top with a sweater and duster vest.

Soaking in every last bit of warmth and sunshine before it disappears. It’s been incredibly hot the last few weeks to the point that I don’t want to leave my home however, there’s finally some relief! My collection of black one piece swimwear has grown exponentially but it’s such a classic number that I feel can withstand all the changing trends. I paired this black one with a multi colored and patterned shirt dress, rattan bucket bag, wide brimmed sun hat and some statement sandals.

I’ve had this two toned pencil skirt in my collection for approximately 3 years but every time I pulled it out, I was at a lost with what matched. I finally took the plunge and paired it with my sheer pleated circle sleeve top and I think it works well! It’s conservative and work appropriate but still adds a bit of drama.

When I have to transition from an offsite work meeting in a different city to the airport, another outfit formula I follow is a cableknit sweater and ankle pants combo. This works well with heels as it does with sneakers.

Took a trip up north to Whistler! The day called for an athleisure all black look with pops of white. I intially regretted my decision to wear a thermal and was sweating at the bottom of the mountain. However, as we gradually got higher in elevation, it was perfect! I don’t own hiking shoes but these platform sneakers for served me well for numerous years through a variety of terrain! I can now tick off snow and mountains as things it can tolerate! I also didn’t want to bring my backpack so I brought along my crossbody!

Blending into the atmosphere with my green baby doll dress! It was an extremely hot day so I’m glad I brought my fedora. Since I didn’t want my look to be too monochromatic, I broke it up with my leopard calf hair flats.

Wore this cutout midi high slit dress for an evening out! We went to a Candlelight Concert at a winery and the venue gave me the opportunity to finally wear this dress!

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.

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.

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.
