Classic Jackie O Style for Work_Corporate Old Money Black and White Style_Maje Cropped Lace and Crochet Jacket _ Ted Baker Bow Top _ Calvin Klein Tweed Pencil Skirt_9 to 5 Style_Adrienne Nguyen

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!

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.

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.

Cut the Mustard

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.

The Casual Blues

All Blue_Blue Blazer Business Casual Old Money Style with Light Wash Flare Jeans_Everyday California Cool Style_Adrienne Nguyen

Nothing like a blazer and denim jeans outfit. As much as I love wearing blazers, I find myself integrating it more into my daily looks as opposed to workwear. There’s something a little too formal about blazers in the workplace. Yes, there are instances where it’s appropriate but I often find it a bit too professional. Here, I paired my two toned blazer with high waisted light wash flare jeans.

The Roaring 20's

Adrienne Nguyen - 1920's Party - 20's Headpiece with faux Fur Shawl and Fringe Flapper Dress_BABEYOND_AMAZON

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.

Adrienne Nguyen_Summer Style Date Night Brown Midi Velvet Flower Dress_Old Money Date Night in the City

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!

Adrienne Nguyen_Business Casual Style_Blue Button Down Jeweled Top with High Waisted Brocade Pencil Skirt_Business Casual Old Money Corporate Style

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!
