Black Mini Skirt

Floral Peplum Top and Black Postage Mini Skirt Diane Von Furstenberg | Pink Flower Earrings Betsey Johnson |  Bracelets Forever 21 | Blue Suede Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenHere is my Monday outfit! 
A little peplum top and a mini skirt was a perfect way to start the week at the office. I also really wanted to wear my new blue suede pumps! Found these little beauties on eBay, and I wish they were still available at the Steve Madden store and came in every color. The Ulltra pump has been the most comfortable shoe for me, and I am able to last at work all day in them. 
I am going to miss this warm fall weather, because once it gets cold in the Bay Area, it really gets cold! I am not ready for the winter weather yet particularly because I don’t have enough knits to survive. These may be the last few days I can go without tights or leggings. I must really utilize my last warm days and wear skirts and dresses.
Hope you had a great Monday and it is almost Halloween! Cannot wait to share my costume with you all then!

Abstract

Abstract Butterfly Kimono Sleeve Leena Dress Diane Von Furstenberg | Black Leggings H&M | Black Suede Overpas Boots Steve Madden | Butterfly ring and Colorful Bangles Forever 21 | Graphic Flower Print Satchel Coach PoppyI am dressed in one of the most interesting dresses that I have yet to purchase. It is a dress I actually purchased off Bonanza.com, and it was well worth the splurge. Just look at the detail! The shape! The colors! The sleeves! The butterflies coming to life out of the paint!

I own one kimono wrap top, but it has nothing on the sleeves of this dress. It has an edgy, artsy vibe, alludes to a Japanese kimono, and also looks bohemian. I chose to wear it with the leggings and black suede boots because of class and the weather, but I can already see this worn with some colorful heels and a clutch for going out, or classic black pumps and no jewelry for another look at work. I added the fun accessories to play up the pattern on the dress.

I have become a die-hard fan of Diane Von Furstenberg’s dresses. Nothing she makes is unflattering, and I can truly rely on her items to make me stand out in a crowd.

Black Blazer

Black Blazer Zara Women, Navy and Black Body Con Dress Walter, Signature “C” Black Messenger Bag Coach, Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve Madden, Elephant Ring Forever 21Rainy Monday = no cute outfit! I was caught a bit off guard and had no idea what to wear (ironic since this is my blogs purpose). The weather also did not permit a moment to take my photo outside, but I enjoyed the break from writing. 
To make up for the lack of a post, I straightened my hair and dressed as professionally as I could. I think my outfit for the day is very cubicle chic. My straight hair inspired me to choose something with clean lines, and adding the blazer adds instant polish. The ring adds just a touch of fun to an otherwise simple, but sleek, outfit. 
I had to look professional because I had to interview some potential student interns since a position opened up in our office recently. Since I am almost the same age, and will be working closely with them, I needed to show some authority and I think this outfit gave off the vibe I needed. I had slight color, and a whimsical accessory, but the structure of the blazer really pulled it together. 
I am really excited with the potential candidates, particularly their enthusiasm and energy. I have a few more interviews tomorrow, but I won’t be able to post my outfit until Thursday because of my late class. We’ll see how my look ends up since I need to plan on being warm (especially because of the rain).
Thank you for following and reading my blog! <3

Teal Dress

Teal Dress, Necklace, and Ring Forever 21 | Metallic Gold Peep-Toe Flats Christian Louboutin | Bag UnknownTGIF! Today it was really muggy and cold, but Thursday was unusually warm. This is my Thursday outfit and it is fitting I post this instead of my Friday outfit because I dressed in my Cal Gear for the Big Game Rally tonight!
I wanted a simple look with this dress which called for minimal jewelry and hair up in a bun. I have worn the dress before here, and I like both looks equally. This is a classic cut dress and can be worn multiple ways. It really suited the weather today and I felt very nice and cool walking out to lunch.
Hope you had a fabulous Friday and have a wonderful weekend planned! 
And of course, lets cheer Cal on to win the Ax back from Stanford tomorrow! Go Bears! Brandy| BLOGLOVIN | FACEBOOK |  INSTAGRAM |TUMBLR | TWITTER | 

Lace Overlay Dress

Velvet Blazer Erin Fetherston for Target | Metallic Nude and Black Lace “Pomdor” Dress Diane Von Furstenberg  (here) |  Black Patent Bow Belt Forever 21 | Seahorse Ring Crossroads Trading Co. | Metallic Gold Peep-toe with Ruffle Flats Steve MaddenAnother one of my eBay scores –  This dress! 
There is just so much to say about it! It is Diane von Furstenberg, Metallic, Lace-Overlay, Removable Velvet Straps, Slight Asymmetrical Hem Line, and Gorgeous!
I love how it just exudes Fall and the change of the season.  I just can’t decide what exactly to call it. It is not quite a summer dress because of the material, but the blazer made it office appropriate. Of course I added my trusty Seahorse double-ring that has a similar color tone to match the dress.
I cannot wait to wear this lovely number again. I could dress this up more with either my trusty Steve Madden pumps (in either black or nude) and piling my hair into a bun. That is a sign that was a great purchase. If you want to wear something again before you’ve even removed it, it is definitely a keeper.

Rosettes

Black Cardigan and Studded Belt Forever 21 | Black and Pink Rose Dress Marc Jacobs | Black Patent Ulltra Pumps Steve MaddenHere is another one of my finds from Crossroads Trading Co!
It is a lovely pink and black rose print dress by Marc Jacobs. The bottom has a bubble hem and I find the overall fit very feminine. The studded belt provides some edge to this otherwise sweet dress. I’d like to wear this again already with a high bun and a statement cuff! I was told it was featured in a magazine when I purchased it. It’s pretty fun 
Hope you had a good Monday!
