"This year has been full of home office work, Zoom-from-the-waist-up meetings, and in-the-field market appointments here in Jamaica. (Gone are the days of getting up early for work, putting on a full outfit, and running out the door to catch my 8:30 train to the office.) Most of it was spent figuring out how to launch an international business, which involves a decent amount of travel. That has made my work wardrobe lean quite casual."
"This past month, I was chosen to be part of a leadership fellowship for Debra Lee's Leading Women Defined. Twenty-five women, including myself, attended a jam-packed leadership conference in LA that included everything from community building to panels packed with executives. We grew in professionally and personally, and created connections to last a lifetime. And when it came to getting dressed each day, I knew I needed to dust off some of my favorite workwear pieces."
"This satin red set from Argent was the perfect day-to-night look. During panels, wearing these pieces with a blazer (also from the brand) felt effortless and professional. I took off the jacket in the evening for a chic, easy-going ensemble that transitioned seamlessly into dinner and networking events. I paired it with monochromatic pumps that complemented the rich red tone without competing for attention."
Work shifted to home office, Zoom-from-the-waist-up meetings, and in-the-field market appointments in Jamaica, reducing the need for full outfits and increasing casual dressing. Launching an international business required substantial travel and further relaxed daily wardrobe choices. Selection to Debra Lee's Leading Women Defined fellowship brought twenty-five women together for a packed conference in LA featuring community building and executive panels. Participants experienced professional and personal growth and formed lasting connections. Conference preparation prompted deliberate wardrobe curation, resulting in three easy workwear looks pulled from a closet and a few special additions for day-to-night versatility.
