Bay Area Fashionista

Finally dressed to go somewhere

wearing: white drop earrings / sunglasses / spring lipstick / black dress (under $100) / gemstone bead bracelets ($25 each) / gold chain bracelet / spring nail polish / black shoulder bag / sculpted heel mules /

Can you believe I had the opportunity to dress up and actually go somewhere?! What???? Yes! After twelve months of everything being shut down, my daughter earned an award and there was an actual ceremony, in-person!! I had to pinch myself to ensure this was real!

The ceremony was held in downtown San Jose and capacity was limited inside the venue. We all wore masks, and doors were open to allow airflow from outside. It was a really safe environment, and we were thrilled to be able to watch her get honored in person.

Now that vaccines are underway, we are starting to move towards more normalcy here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I know we are a little behind the rest of the country, but we are getting there! I am looking forward to more things going back to normal, and to be able to enjoy summer with family and friends once again.

It felt amazing to wear this comfortable black dress. This dress is soft and versatile; perfect to wear to an afternoon awards event! I paired the dress with my new sculpted heel slides for spring, which turned out to be comfortable and easy to walk in from the parking lot to the venue two blocks away.

I loved having the chance to rock my new Cleo bag and stack these beautiful gemstone bracelets made by a local San Jose designer. If you haven’t snapped up a few already, be sure to do so! Bracelet stacks are a huge trend right now and these are not only beautiful, they are affordable. Love that!

The weather is getting warmer! This calls for more spring clothing and accessories. Love this!

This week has been a great week for the tee-shirt dress. This black dress is a fabulous spring closet staple since it can be worn casually with a basket bag and flip-flops, or dressed up with block heel slides or sandals, plus an IT bag. I am also loving this tie-dye tee-shirt dress. It is a great way to elevate your spring athleisure style on the streets. This little dress is under $50 and can be paired with sneakers, sandals, or flip-flops. Love!!

If you haven’t snapped up an IT bag for spring, what are you waiting for? You can either re-wear one from your closet that was hot in the 1990s, or go for one of the newer ones; after all, 2021 is the year of the IT bag. I have declared it. haha

Spring athleisure on the streets

wearing: hoop earrings / spring lipstick / adidas dress (under $50!) / spring nail polish / bracelets ($25 each) / black handbag / adidas sneakers (on major sale!) /

Spring is here! This means more sunshine, blossoms on trees, and a chance to break free from sweatpants; and start sporting comfy-yet-fabulous athleisure. Love that!

One of the current street style trends for the spring 2021 season is tie-dye. So when I spotted this cute little dress from adidas, I knew I needed it in my life! Not only is it a pretty tie-dye swirl of pink and blue, it’s on trend, comfortable, and priced under $50. Love!

This dress is ideal for spring athleisure; as well as summer! It can be paired with sneakers and a denim jacket or zip-up sweatshirt on a cooler day. This dress can also be paired with slides on warmer days. When temperatures start to rise, I plan on pairing this tie-dye dress with blue adidas slides. I’m looking forward to getting a lot of wear out of this dress during the spring and summer seasons!

I love being able to rock comfortable and chic athleisure for spring. There are so many new options in spring 2021 when it comes to being comfortable, sporty, and on-trend. This spring, athleisure trends include track suits, sporty dresses, crop tops, and oversize tees. These trends are a nod to the ‘80’s and ‘90’s sporty trends we saw on the runways for spring, but with a modern twist. I love all the current athleisure looks right now; and I love that adidas has everything in stock we all need to rock these current trends in athleisure.

Can I give these sneakers a shout-out? I bought them last year, and they are still going strong. They are super comfortable and go with every athleisure look I put together. These sneakers also happen to be on major sale right now! You can snap up a pair for well under $100 online at adidas.com.

Which types of athleisure do you love right now?

Thanks for stopping by!
