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 was in San Antonio, TX for just a day so I tried to pack in as many things as I could. First stop was Trader Joe’s to pick up a reusable Texas bag!

Later that evening, I went to the Riverwalk to check out all the sights! Most of the restaurants were closing for the night but Saltgrass was still open! It was terribly hot and humid but I chose to dine outdoors to enjoy the river views.

The next morning, I got breakfast at the hotel and went to my meeting. I quickly dashed to the airport to grab lunch and then changed for my flight home.

I wore my contrast collar and cuff top too kick off the week; 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!

The Grand Entrance

Milly Gray and Black Cape_Business Casual Cape Style_Workwear_Corporate All Black Outfit_Biotech_Adrienne Nguyen

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.

Plaid Double Breasted Oversized Blazer with a Silk Sleeveless Top and High Waisted Pleated Midi Skirt_Chanel Slingbacks_Cafune Stance Wallet_Fall Preppy Style_Quiet Luxury Old Money Style_Adrienne Nguyen

Whenever I’m looking for a comfortable fit, I opt for oversized pieces. I’m pretty petite so I tend to avoid really big items however sometimes the day calls for a loose fit. I paired my oversized double breasted plaid blazer on top of my high waisted pleated leather midi skirt. There are merlot and burgundy details on my blazer so I wore it with my Merlot and eggshell crossbody bag! Since things were already a bit busy on top, I kept it simple with my two-toned pointy slingbacks.

My favorite outfit when I’m in a hurry is a blazer and jeans combo. I paired this black corduroy blazer with brown elbow patches on top of a silk collar button down and flare jeans. I kept my accessories simple with my Saint Laurent envelope bag and Nine West heels.

The Black Power Suit

Black Power Suit_ALC Black Blazer with Gold Buttons, Black Theory Pants, Tiffany Sunglasses_Women in Biotech_Women in STEM_Adrienne Nguyen

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. Since I wanted the focus to remain on my blazer, I kept everything else simple!

Beaded Era

Happy New Year, everyone! I’ve come to really embrace denim. I never wore denim jeans when I was younger and I only started incorporating them into my outfits during undergrad. I briefly paused through grad school but found comfort in them 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. I paired them with a simple sheer sleeveless collar top along with my statement beaded jacket.
