Nude + Nude = Skinny





I purchased this dress at Banana Republic. The cut of the dress is really appealing to my "curves".  This dress is great to wear to any meeting and/or another day in the office.

The best part about wearing nude is that it makes you look slim.  The same goes with shoes.  When you wear nude shoes, it elongates your legs (similar color as your skin).  Since I'm a whooping 5'1, nude shoes are a must.

These nude shoes are great! They are comfortable, go with every outfit and with the thick heel I'm able to wear them all day at the office without any discomfort.  The shoes are Nine West and I purchased them from TJ Maxx.  They have the same shoes in black, those will probably be in my closet soon!

Colors + Neutrals


Color jeans are really popular right now and the best thing about color is that it can be paired with any neutral.  I love wearing bright colors to the office! It brightens up any room.  Typically I pair a bright skirt (since I can't wear jeans to work) with a black, white, or grey top. 


The yellow skirt is a linen vintage skirt.  I simply love this skirt and always get a ton of compliments. You'd be pleasantly surprised who compliments you when you wear bright colors.  So put down the black skirt and buy the brightest color in the store!

P!nk Possessions

Pink is in the air! I'm not sure if you've flipped through any fashion magazines lately or glanced at Pinterest lately, but PINK is the hottest interior design trend since shag carpet in the 70s. After looking through 300 pins of pink accents on Pinterest, I decided it was time to make the plunge and invest in pink. The top three pictures are from my apartment and the rest are inspirations from Pinterest.

CAPitalism

There's something so inviting to the new capped toe heel. Maybe it's the fact that we've been looking at black and pink patent pumps for the last twenty years and someone has finally put a new spin on the classic pump.  From the second I saw my first pair of capped toe heels at Zara, I was hooked!

In the corporate world, I'm surrounded with stale blue oxfords, khaki slacks and black Calvin Klein suits.  The capped toe heel is a perfect way for any Corporate Fashionista to spice up her outfit and have all the other girls lusting.  Take a dip in the latest fashion trend, you won't be disappointed!


Stuart Weitzman shoes are my favorite.


Chanel cap toe heels (a splurge) but so beautiful!

Perfect starter pair.  Only $22! Metallic cap toe pumps (see here)








Great accent piece with black jeans/pants. 
A little pop with a elegant dress.

Lacey Decisions



This week is a two day work week, so I thought it was appropriate to wear something a little risky. I wasn't sure if this outfit would turn out as cute as it did! 

Every year I like to wear white/cream before Memorial Day. Since the rule on not wearing white till after Memorial Day was thrown out years ago, I typically get some "Mr. Know It All" telling me that it's not fashionable to wear white...We all know this rule is long gone! This spring and summer you'll see white and creams all over. A white skirt and lace skirts are so critical for my closet. They dress up any blouse but still make it appropriate for Corporate America.

Silk Shirt: Banana Republic $19
Lace Skirt: Banana Republic $49
Heels: Elie Tahari (consignment) $30
Handbag: Coach
Stack Rings: Coach $98

My picks of the week


This is my Sunday shopping outfit.  I've discovered how great wedges are in SF. The hills can be difficult, but wedges typically hold up for a day out in the city.

Since Mint/Sea Foam Green  is my new favorite color, I somehow find a way to wear it with any outfit. This outfit is great because I was able to put some of my favorite pieces together.  The denim jacket is a must in SF.  It always gets chilly here.



This outfit was inspired by the all the layering I'm seeing in blogs.  This grey dress is such a staple piece in my closet.  You can't see the ruching on the side, but it's a great touch to the dress.  Oh course I had to spice it up with leopard.  Shirts that have little ties are so great to have in your closet.  If you ever see one on sale, I'd suggest picking it up.  You never know when you'll need to dress up an old sweater or even a dress.
