Monochromatic green for today’s work outfit! Even though it’s still 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!

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.

Philly Love

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.

I only had one evening in Philly and a colleague found a well known cheesesteak location… apparently there’s a friendly war for the number 1 spot. We tried Dalesaandro’s and it was SUBSTANTIAL. I got the mushroom chicken steak with extra cheese and I only managed to get through half of it. This place is cash only but worth a visit if you want to try a quintessential Michelin recognized spot.

The Royal Blues

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!

Preppy American Style_Winter Corduroy Blazer with Elbow Patches and Silk Blouse with Flare Jeans_Adrienne Nguyen

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.
