I am so happy to be living in a time where women are lifting each other up and standing up for themselves. I can’t imagine if I was born in a different era and I had to live through all the excessive and unnecessary suffering. I have the utmost respect for the women who still put a smile on their faces regardless of their struggles—they are the true heroes for enduring such pain, especially back then. Last week I attended an enlightening event by the Fox32 News reporter, Michelle Alegria. I met her over the summer and so glad we stayed in touch because she is such an admirable woman. She hosted an event at Maria Pinto’s boutique, which featured Maria Pinto’s latest collection as well as bringing together powerful women to speak on women empowerment. You could say I basically lived for this event as I attended it solo and left with a few new friends! I’m excited for these friendships to flourish as well as to see what results we can achieve together. Here’s to uniting powerful women.
Top: I purchased this mustard yellow v-neck from Zara last summer. It’s a cropped sleeve-less tank that is the perfect to pop of color to add all year long. Since we’re approaching spring, I figured now would be the best time to let the colors peek. I finally got to wear my Aritzia oversized blazer, which I love. This piece gives me a sense of power and automatically converts me into boss babe mode. It’s crucial to have pieces in your closet that you feel comfortable and uplifted in so that you can go out there and kick some serious butt.
Bottoms: I purchased this maroon high-waisted pencil skirt from Zara years ago. It’s the cutest skirt perfect for the corporate world and trendy occasions. The fact that it’s high-waisted means it is highly flattering and can be paired with anything! The color is perfect year round as well. Make it a winter look by pairing it with darker colors or create a springy look as I did by adding brighter colors.
Tights: I love these small polka dot tights from Calzedonia. The quality is worth investing in and they’re made in Italy. They’re highly durable and I have yet to make a tear, which I’m so grateful for. Tights aren’t easy to maintain, yet this brand makes it low maintenance.
