what to wear to a coffee date

What to wear to a coffee date Edit 2 Edit 4Edit 1Edit 7Edit 5Edit 3Top: H&M, similar here and here // Jacket: Forever21, similar here // Skirt: JCrew, similar here // Wedges: Vera Wang Lavender, identical version here // Bag: Olivia Harris // Necklace: TJ Maxx, similar here // Nails: Essie Bikini So Teeny

I recently met up with my girlfriends Mallory and Nic for coffee over the weekend and definitely had a OMG-I-have-nothing-to-wear-and-I-am-running-late fiasco going on.  Since I work in a corporate setting, I like to let my weekend-wear be more sartorially adventurous and I pulled out my favorite bright pink skirt.  I was meeting up with my friends so wanted to have a look that was pulled together but still casual enough to avoid eye rolls with I-can’t-believe-you’re-THAT-dressed-up-on-a-Sunday-morning.  Enter the wonderfully versatile utility jacket!  I love this jacket for so many reasons!  It really is a utility jacket for having many purposes–dressing down an outfit, being the perfect layering piece in questionable climates (I’m looking at you San Francisco and @KarlTheFog), and perfect to throw on for errands around town.

Adding the utility coat to my outfit was the perfect touch of Sunday coolness that I actually turned a few heads while waiting in line for my iced Americano…resulting in a coffee shop hottie slipping me his number.  Maybe he was eyeing my warm croissant, or maybe it was the pink skirt / utility jacket combo…but either way this is my new coffee shop date outfit, hands down.

    Love this look, Jennifer! Great use of color, and love how the army-inspired jacket toughens it up a bit. Great look for a coffee date with a gentleman, too!

      Thanks Kristen! Aren’t utility jackets the best to toughen stuff up?

    The neon against the khaki coat is perfect! Every so often you find that awesome Forever 21 find… I have a few key pieces that I still can’t believe have lasted the test of time. They’ve paid for themselves over and over again. Great look!

      Chelsea — Thanks for your comment! I love the neutral / neon combo too, and especially when the piece lasts for forever.

      Thanks Dale! I’ve lived in San Francisco for 5 years and the fog still gets me every time! But this jacket helps do the trick!

Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Her Finally tried @dintaifungusa and wow! So good! Here’s what we ordered:

🌟Cucumber Salad - a bright and light starter I’d love to make these at home (and @glucosegoddess would be proud!)
🌟String Beans with Garlic - I would have eaten 3 more orders of this had they not been $16/each. I’ve already been searching for copy cat recipes because they are just SO DAMN GOOD
🌟Kurobuta Pork Xiao Long Bao - these are their classic soup dumpling and very yummy and chewy and I loved the soy-vinegar sauce pairing with it
🌟 Sticky Rice & Kurobuta Pork Shao Mai - these were recommended in a TikTok video but they weren’t my favorite. The rice plus the dough was just too much IMO
🌟 Chicken Spicy Wontons - these were very good! I would drink the bowl of sauce if no one was watching…
🌟 Chocolate & Mochi Xiao Long Bao - wow, what a great to end the meal! We don’t order dessert often but this really good. Love the melty creamy chocolate!

Can’t wait to go back! Have you been? You’ve got to try it!
I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
