Business Chic Style on the Streets of DTLA

Renee and I visited Downtown LA for the Textile Show at the California Market Center so she could scope out new fabric vendors for her label, 16thColony. I've been working on 16thColony's brand management and was so excited to get to be apart of this side of her business. She also just finished her samples for the SS16 collection, and we will be shooting her lookbook this upcoming week (I can barely contain my excitement, and can't wait to share the collection with you).

For a more polished, business oriented (but fashion-forward look), I styled a trendy lace up front top and tucked it into grey skinny jeans. Although depending on your workplace and your bust, you may want to save a lace up front top for a night out or a weekend outfit since it could be risque. You can try a crew or v-neck tee or blouse; or if you want to add more volume up top wear a loose button down blouse and tuck it into your jeans, letting it billow out slightly on top.

A great way to transition into a Fall without wearing heavy, dark denim is with colored skinny jeans in neutral or dark colors. I kept the outfit professional with my hair slick back into a low ponytail, wore simple nude pumps, and threw a trench coat over my shoulders for that 'on-the-go' look. While visiting DTLA, Renee snapped a few street style shots of me, here's what I wore:
