Bold in Red
I love adding in a pop of color to an outfit and red is one of my favorites! It’s a classic yet bold statement. Here, I’ve paired my red work handbag with red bow heels for a day at the office. Switch out the red tones for your favorite color – pick one that makes you feel confident and ready to take on your next board meeting or presentation!

Classic Business Professional
Adding a well-fitted black blazer to an outfit instantly elevates it for a more polished and professional look. Of course, my favorite one is from Theory, and has been a staple in my wardrobe for several years. I finished off the look with classic black heels – find your favorite ones or pick up a pair of bow heels that will last years to come.

Walking in the Rain in my Black Boots
Winter calls for classic boots and these are my favorite riding boots. The black design will last for years to come and I picked out a pair with a little texture detailing on the back. Whenever it’s raining here in Southern California, I opt for tall boots to keep my legs protected. Bonus, these black boots are waterproof! My favorite waterproof brand is Aquatalia but if you prefer a more traditional rain boot, please visit this blog post discussing my favorites.

Fall Inspired with Tights & Booties
Adding tights can immediately change the look of an outfit. My favorite tights are opaque black ones but I also own opaque gray and opaque navy ones. For those who live in colder climates, fleece-lined tights make wearing dresses much more bearable! I also opted for my favorite ankle booties in a neutral color to complete this outfit. The slit down the front of these booties helps elongate my legs while wearing a dress.

Spring Colors with Mint Green
Who is ready for springtime! I know I am! I cannot wait for all the spring flowers to bloom and to spend more time at Huntington Gardens this spring. For those who also cannot wait, why not add in a few spring-inspired hues to get you ready for the season change?! My favorite spring color? Mint green. Here I’ve added in my mint green handbag and a subtle tone of mint green heels (more info in this blog post). I also would consider a pastel pink or soft coral orange for accent colors.
