All about the cardigan sweater

wearing: statement earrings / black tee / cardigan sweater (under $100) / wide leg pants / summer nail polish / east/west bag / black boots (old, similar here) /

I love an office outfit I can wear day into evening. This outfit took me from the office to dinner and then an event with Broadway San Jose. It was the perfect outfit to take me through the day!

This cardigan sweater is fun to wear over a tee for a conservative look, or a tank top, or cropped tank top for a fun evening or weekend look. It is so versatile! Plus, the design and weight offer good quality. I’m on the hunt for a good pair of linen shorts to pair with this cardigan when summer starts to heat up! Love that!

Mocha dress for summer

wearing: statement earrings / chain necklace / mocha dress / summer nail polish / bucket tote / Mary Janes /

Mocha Mousse is the color of 2025, so it’s only natural that I am drawn to this neutral hue. It is so easy to wear and can be styled throughout the year. Mocha really transcends season. Love that!

Speaking of transcending season, and wearing this mocha dress throughout the year, shoes and outerwear help it fit into the season. In the winter, this dress can be paired with knee boots and a coat. During the fall and spring months, this mocha dress can be worn with a light jacket or sweater, as well as a scarf. For the summer, it stands alone. The knit fabric is comfortable, and I am finding I can wear it any weather; at least here in California.

This mocha dress can also be worn casually, or to the office. I love a wardrobe piece I can wear any day of the week, work or fun! Love that!

I also happen to have this dress in black too. It is classic and versatile. Love!

How are you rocking mocha this summer season?

Thanks for stopping by!

Checking out the new Nintendo store

If you are into eSports and gaming, then you are already aware of the new Nintendo store in San Francisco! Located on Union Square, the new Nintendo San Francisco offers two stories of merch, consoles, and of course, games! Since the store just opened last week, we found ourselves in a line just to enter and shop.

We went on a weekday, since on weekends you need to make an appointment to shop. This meant waiting in a standby line for one hour and twenty minutes. The line wasn’t bad since Nintendo had employees come out and talk to us about games. Plus, the other customers were friendly and there was a sense of community in the line. This made the line feel quite fast!

Once we entered the store, we had thirty minutes to shop. This was the right amount of time for my kids to choose what they wanted and also float around the store to see everything. We had a lot of fun, and my kids left happy. Love that!

I decided to wear my go-to black pants and this fun, white peplum top with a twist. It is perfect for the office as well as other occasions. There’s nothing like a classic white top with black pants. It is always an easy outfit, or shall I say, go-to outfit!

After our shopping adventure, we walked up to Chinatown and tried a restaurant I saw on TikTok. I know it sounds risky, but the place ended up being delicious! We enjoyed dimsum including pork xlb, sticky rice shumai, and the cheese and corn bao’s pictured above. Yum! The restaurant was Dumpling Fushion, and I recommend!

So, if you plan to visit the new Nintendo store, be sure to make a reservation for the weekend, or try going on a weekday; just wear comfy shoes and plan for the line. Have fun with it!

Thanks for stopping by!
