Reminding myself from time to time that less is more. I love accessorizing so much that sometimes I forget to appreciate a beautiful piece. For this outfit, I wanted all the focus on the shirt dress. I kept it minimal so that the smallest of details are highlighted: the flowy sheer material, the long slits and the silver rings on the sleeve. Simple, but sophisticated.

Words to live by: “when in doubt, wear black.”
I attended an influencer brunch last Saturday hosted by Amika at ediBOL in DTLA, and I went for a “relaxed but still dressed up” look. I simply put a few of my favorite pieces together, in all-black of course! First thing I thought when dressing for brunch: I have to be comfortable. So I chose to wear a palazzo pants a got a few years back. It has an elastic waist so that it can stretch out after getting that food baby, hah. Then I paired it with a dressy crop top and a hat to accessorize (and to hide that messy hair after straight rolling out of bed!).

We all know that a good first impression is very important, since you only get one chance in making one! It says a lot about you. Not only you make an impression in your words and actions, but also how you dress. So here's my first-day-of-school outfit tip: dress cute but conservative. You want your presence to be known, but you don't have to wear something skimpy. You also want people to take you seriously, but you don't have to be boring at it! For this post, I'm wearing a button-up top with boxy sleeves for that extra attitude, and a skort (meaning, a skirt and shorts combined) to keep the look fun, but still reserved. Dress it up with heels or dress it down with your favorite pair of sneakers!
