Fiesta Outfit: How to Dress an Embroidered Garment

Kelsey K. — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 14:00:23 +0000

I feel so fortunate to have a job that allows me to work remotely. On a whim, GG and I decided to accompany Jonathan on a business trip to San Diego. I’m not going to lie…I’m really looking forward to the 80 degree weather! We will only be there for three nights and four days, but it’s the perfect excuse to coordinate four fabulous ensembles. Today we feature what I refer to as my “fiesta outfit.” To me, it screams San Diego! You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll rock this little number over a margarita or two.

Is embroidery cool? The answer is YES and it’s popping up across the fashion space in various forms. From jeans, jackets, tops, to accessories, you name it – there is an embroidered version for sale. I am a little late to the trend, as embroidered jeans bring me back to my childhood years, but better late than never! So, here is my attempt to teach you how to wear embroidery without looking like a five year old!

To begin, pair your embroidered piece with mature counter garments. For example, when styling overalls, stay away from sneakers. Instead, dress your playsuit with a lace top and strappy sandals. Smething you would never find a toddler wearing! In today’s look, I dress an embroidery embellished skirt with a flirty off the shoulder top. The sophisticated top balances out the playful lower half. Finally, never forget to accessorize your look. Jewelry, makeup, and shoes have the ability to transform an outfit from cute to sexy. For example, I lathered on a steamy red lip and a pair of tassel earrings. Now do you see why I call this my fiesta outfit?!

What to Wear to Sol Food: Bay Area Puerto Rican Cuisine

Kelsey K. — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 15:00:38 +0000

Now that you know about my favorite Puerto Rican cuisine in San Francisco, it’s time to discuss what to wear to Sol Food. The setting is very casual. Sharing is caring at this Latin American cafetería and I’m not talking about the food. Prepare to dine at a communal table or along side an unfamiliar face at the counter or bar. But don’t think twice about it. By the time you take your first bite you’ll be “over it.”

Sol Food is located in Mill Valley in Marin County. Keep in mind that the temperature rises five to 10 degrees as soon as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Err on the side of caution and dress in laters. Open for business 10-9pm on the weekdays and 9-9pm on the weekends, patrons frequent the joint in an array of outfits. Some in workout clothes, scrubs, business attire, or play clothes. When I’m not in shorts, I’m in boyfriend jeans and a graphic tee.

You already know I overdress. What can I say, I am most confident when I like my outfit! Snag these striped shorts quick because they are only $14.90 and will go like hot cakes! I plan to dress them up with strappy heels and a blazer on another occasion. For today however, I am dressing them down with a flowing halter top and wedge sandals. I always keep a light jacket with me. You never know when Karl the Fog will make an appearance. Now go fill up on tostones and chicken and remember to order the pink beans!

Pizza Party: What to Wear to Tony’s Pizza Napoletana

Now that you know what to order from Tony’s Pizzeria Napoletana, it’s time we discuss the proper attire for a pizza party (duh)! The ambiance is definitely casual, but anything goes. Just make sure you have room for a food baby!

Tony’s is another one of those restaurants that is equally tasty as it is chill. With both tourists and locals frequenting the joint, you can probably imagine the diversity in outfits! Although dining inside is a quintessential San Francisco experience, I never pass up the opportunity to sit outside with GG…plus the patio has heaters. Score!

It was 72 degrees last weekend – no heaters needed. Shorts weather is few and far between in San Francisco so I bronzed my legs in a pair of cutoff shorts. If you remember anything from this post, make it this: wear pants/shorts that stretch when you dine at Tony’s! This outfit is pretty glamorous for a pizza party, but fancy is my middle name.

I dressed these shorts with a black cami and topped ’em with a sheer embroidered top. The open front kimono is making a comeback for spring 2017 and I’m loving it. They double as swimsuit cover-ups and super chic overcoats. I love the added coverage minus the bulk. In case you were wondering, these wedge sandals are another pair of Seychelles shoes. Also available in white leather and tan suede, these platform wedges are suitable for a day of walking and/or standing. Now run don’t walk to Tony’s and prepare to feast! Read my food review here.
