Work Outfit Inspiration

believe it or not, this stay-at-home mom has occasion for business wear. whether i am meeting with Denver Post editors or pitching brands i want to look professional without losing my sense of style. the great thing about business wear is that you can keep it simple (hello, black) and add your personality through your choice of accessories. in this case, i went with a black blazer and coordinating pants, finishing with a colorful silk shirt.

accessorizing is where i had my fun. included was of course, the cool and colorful ESQ ONE^™. ESQ Movado will be keeping me accessorized all summer long with silicone straps that are comfortable to wear, sleek enough to be chic and utility enough to go with me into the pool. with it were my favorite gold bangles, delicate chain and Chimera bangle. the mint accent and gold detailing in the pocketbook helped complete the entire outfit and coordinated clothing and accessories.

once again i'm feeling like a MILK: a mom i'd like to know.

Black/White Outfit Inspiration

what screams spring/summer more than white denim, rattan shoes and sheer blouses? nothing. absolutely nothing. one of my favorite looks for casual, work or evening is mixing black and white. you can never go wrong with this timeless color combination and accessories help provide that necessary color without affecting the overall color scheme. my black and white look includes my sheer animal print blouse (sleeves rolled, always!), white denim and black skinny belt. comfortable black sandals are a must since running after a 3 kids can be tiring.

i kept the color scheme in the accessories by using all silver from silver Tiffany & Co. bracelets and a black beaded necklaces. my cute and colorful ESQ ONE^™ watch by ESQ Movado adds just the right amount of color to an otherwise serious color scheme. ESQ ONE watches come in an array of fabulous and fashionable color combinations, i only wish i had more! also pictured is my beloved MAC Spring/Summer 2013 lookbook, a constant source of makeup inspiration.

what's black, white and read all over?

Casual Wear + Summer Accessories

today's outfit is one of my go-to spring casual looks. the light chambray shirt is comfortable and chic and the colored denim is cropped at the ankles for a warmer vibe. completing the look are my leopard print clogs. the clog shoe is typically a style worn during winter, however the open toe brings you into spring quite perfectly.

i accessorized with the newest addition to my watch family, the ESQ ONE^™.  it's cool, it's colorful and it has the swiss quartz precision of the ESQ Movado brand. there are twelve color combinations and the purple works like a charm in my wardrobe. i added some extra gold bangles and a geometric shaped bracelet to keep it casual without losing that fashionable edge.

no blogging sesh would be complete without my pink Mac and Cherry Coke.
