Daytime Sequins

This weekend I visited my best friend Edwin in San Francisco. Since it was Pride weekend, I wanted to add a little sparkle via this paillette-encrusted blouse.

Graduation

Yesterday I graduated with my teaching credential from UC Davis. Since I knew this outfit was going to be under a black robe, I wanted to put together an outfit in black that would work for the ceremony and then transition to the party afterwards. I chose this simple dress accented with a high-low hem and punched up with a bold statement necklace.  I also added a beaded clutch with the same yellow accent color and cage sandals.

Retro Style

This week my students are doing presentations on the decades of the 20th Century. They are getting extra credit for dressing up in the clothing of their era, so I am going to as well.

What I Wore: Farm Bonfire

Kenneth Cole Boots, F21+ Dress, Old Navy Jacket, Michael Kors Shades

May is a very busy birthday month for my family and friends. Yesterday was mine, and I celebrated at a friend's bonfire on his beautiful farm. Since it was my birthday I decided to go with an attention-grabbing bright red sundress, studded suede boots and and my trusty medium wash denim jacket.

What I Wore: Snoop Dogg Concert

I recently went to see Snoop Dogg peform at the Dixon Mayfair. He showed up more than an hour after the opening act had finished (suprise, suprise), but he was really amazing.  For concerts, instead of trying to match my clothing to the act's style, I just try to dress cute for me. I chose a maxi strapless dress that could handle the 20 degree temperature fluctuation from afternoon to evening.
