To make up for working around the clock and not getting a #JacketJanuary #ootd up yesterday, I'm wearing the same top and bottom today and showing how to wear it differently with 2 different jackets! . This one is up first: . Camel #TrenchCoat that serves as a chic #coatdress. I love trenches because they're like #wrapdresses with awesome pockets! 😜 . Usually, I stay away from browns because it's easy to wash myself out. My skin tone changes, so I alter between super light and then tanning really easily. My undertone is not so much yellow as it is olive, but a lot of brown fabrics can look really warm and earthy on some people, and then I'll put it on and look like I'm pale or sick. 🙃 . I mean, I just recovered from 3 days of salmonella and I think I look pretty fly, so this color has got to be a flattering pick, right?? 🤣🙈 . . They did a really good job with picking a neutralized tan/camel/sand/buff color for this #coat. It's 🔥 . . 👉👉👉 Fashion and style isn't so much what you can afford to wear or what's trendy--it's how you wear it. YOU wear the clothes, the clothes don't wear you. Not all styles or fabrics are flattering on everybody, so the trick is to find key pieces you love that are versatile and work with YOUR natural skin tone. . . #WOCstyle #WOCfashion #fashiontips #JackyJacketJanuary #JackySoStyle . . . P.S. How awesome is this #SFcityscape and blue sky? We got these photos right as the sky was changing into night (next batch). The bonus of doing outfit photos everyday in the same location is getting to enjoy such a great view regularly. We're not taking it for granted. 😊❤️ (at South of Market, San Francisco)

Hi @snoopybabe! 😘😻 For #GoogleUdacityScholars, we were supposed to make trading cards for our fav animal, and I decided to use #SnoopyCat! 😜 And then I took it a few steps beyond...which, truthfully, took WAY too long, but it's so satisfying! 👇👇👇 After matching the prototype, I put the image into a container and used overflow: hidden to "fake crop" the rest of the image that didn't fit beyond the initial dimensions. I wanted to be able to swap in any image and not worry about it stretching or going over when resized. . . I did some spiffy sparkle font stuff using CSS, rollover effects on hover (using position: relative) to get it to happen ONLY in the space of the image, and the gradient background you see. . . All in all, I'm happy bc it forced me to use what I know, research what I wasn't sure about, learn some new tricks, and then problem-solve if things weren't working as I envisioned them. . . . Thanks for this project, @udacity! ❤️🙏🎉🌈 . . . P.S. I promise I'll get a #JacketJanuary pic after this! I just couldn't get up until I figured this out. Fellow #audacityofcode peeps know what I mean! 😂 . . #JackySoStyle (at South of Market, San Francisco)

I *think* my body has been fighting off a cold. 💫 I'm used to high levels of stress bc I like keeping busy, so sometimes I don't even realize I'm stressed (bc it's my "norm") or sick until I wake up and feel groggy or my eye is puffy. 😜 From yesterday's #ootd, you can see how tired I looked, so today, I'm like, what do I feel like wearing? How can I put something on that will kick-start my day with a bold, blast of energy?? 👊 . How about a #motojacket? 😀 And how about it in a fun metallic color, like silver! 😍 Outside also looked pretty drab today, so I figured wearing something like yellow would bring a cheerful spirit forward. . The 2nd photo was the best #ootdstyle one we got in 10 pics. It was a struggle on the roof since it was windy today, so my dress kept filling with air and "bubbling up." This one will have to do! 😂 . The vid on the last slide is just for fun, bc sparkles are fun!! 😜 . . . . . #JackyJacketJanuary #JacketJanuary #JackySoStyle #silverjacket #silvercoat #metallicjacket #yellowdress (at South of Market, San Francisco)

Anyone else ready to pwn their week ahead?! ✊🙌🙌❤️✌️😜✨💯 After several different black #jackets in a row, a vibrant pop of color was needed in my feed! My sister (Elizabeth, not on IG) and I both actually have this identical #coat. We'll have to wear them together and re-create this emoji: ✨👯✨😂 . . . P.S. When I left the apt, I had 1 #thighhigh sock higher than the other, and I liked the look bc it was a bit spunky and unexpected. The #boots are SUPER warm because air trapped in the pockets warm up to my body temp (#science 😜😜😜), so these were among the shoes I was sooooo happy to take from home when we visited for the holidays! . . . P.P.S. Am I dating myself by saying pwn?? Hahahaha woop woop! . . . #JacketJanuary #JackyJacketJanuary #JackySoStyle #pinkcoat #pinkjacket #pinkclothing

AHHH #JacketJanuary before the day is ovaaaaa! So proud of these sunnies I made in my instastory that I'm wearing them in this first pic, but I'll have to take one during the day next time! . . @astronomer_ryan and I were saying that the fog reminds us of Paris, especially for our Paris Wedding ceremony! When we had our symbolic ceremony in Paris, it was raining; after that, the night sky was foggy, so the Tour Eiffel (which was ~240m away), looked SUPER cool all lit up in the fog. . . Tonight, I walked out onto the terrace, saw the #SF #nightsky #cityscape #aftertherain, and I went, "OMG. IT'S SOOOO PRETTY!!" 😱😱😱 Instead of the Tour Eiffel, we have the #SalesforceTower looking all lit. ✨🔥😂 👉👉👉 Scroll for more 📸s! . . . On a day like this, how perfect is a #patentleather #trenchcoat? 😍🙌🙌✨🎉 . . . After a month of dresses, I wanted to take a casual classic #ootd look (Jeans, tee) but give it a little twist to show how easy it is to "dress up" a basic! . . . Working in a patent trench is super easy to wear, especially when it's black. It gives it that something extra. You could just stop there. For me, I do my #JackySoStyle spin on it: ✨ #furstole (#vintage find from an open air market in Paris) ✨ #statementrings + #rhinestonebrooch ✨ #purpleheels And for the record, I did not mean to color coordinate my maroon stole and the shoes! 😂 . . . One more story, this basic #stripedtee was a "free" / bonus item that came with one of the French magazines I love buying. This is why I love buying French mags! 😜 (at South of Market, San Francisco)

Last day of #Dressember2017! 👉👉👉 For #ootd #ootn details 😜 HAPPY #NYE, LOVES!!! I'm not wearing this out tonight, but I felt like putting on a #sparklydress (of course) earlier. Who remembers this dress?? 😂😂😂 Taking this sparkly cutout number from dance parties to #nyedress, I wanted to give it a #JackySoStyle update: Boho vibe spirit, sparkly for fun, and accessories with stories. Every piece of clothing and accessories I own has its own story. . . . Stepping--nah. DANCING into the New Year means taking all of these past stories with me, and taking control of where I want my life to go. Not all of us had a smooth 2017, or even 2016. Some of us had a great year, some of us couldn't wait for it to be over. Personally, I had an interesting year full of ups and downs, but more ups than downs. I've reconnected with friends, made beautiful new ones, and worked hard to prioritize my own needs. If your year wasn't easy, that's a good thing, because it means growth! . . . This was a huge growth year. . . . And we should all be striving to keep growing, keep glowing! . . . If a year is easy, it means it's not hard enough. It's living in a bubble. It's not challenging enough. . . . Some people want that, but I never did. I want to grow, because that's the only way I know how. I want to absorb all of the lessons and memories I can, and I want to make my life on this Earth meaningful. I don't want to take time for granted. . . . So stepping into the new year, my theme is picking a lane and doubling down. . . . I've had some of the most amazing experiences that have allowed me to incubate my diverse skills, and now I'm ready to move forward and represent fellow POC Women in STEM, because our time is NOW. 🙌🙌 . . . Happy New Year, friends! Thank you for being here. ❤️🙏🎉 . . . ✌️🤗😘 (at South of Market, San Francisco)

At the request of @michaelsichmeller: #STORMTROOPER #Dressember2017 #Day30! I told a couple ppl who came out onto the roof during this, "Today's theme is Stormtrooper!!" 😂😂😂😜 For the almost last day of #Dressember (Ryan is happy about that), Stylish Stormtrooper was gonna be either for today or tomorrow. It's a nice ~60° earlier, so let's go ahead and do it today, because tomorrow will be whatever I'm gonna throw on for @kamrinklauschie's NYE Housewarming! 😜😘✌️❤️🎉✨ . . . This onesie is actually a little boy's Halloween costume that I saw at Goodwill in the Westwood/Santa Monica area yeaaaaars ago. I was walking around with @lavieenprose, saw it on a rack through the window, and told her that I had to get it ASAP. Dashed in there like a mad woman to grab it. 😂😂😂 . . . Years later, and this onesie is still going strong! If it wasn't a #StarWarscostume, you could see how mod and editorial a black jumper or pantsuit with white geometric plating could be! It kinda feels like a #JackySoStyle version of a Power Suit, in its own quirky way. 😂😂😂 . . . If today was windy, I would have worn a long chiffon dress on top, so that it would blow in the wind. What I decided to do is this structured floral mini, unzipped so that it sits like an outer coat. The floral is a nice contrast to the stark Stormtrooper, and since everything else is structured, I'm just gonna let my hair fly free. 😂 . . . So thanks to Michael and @davidwhitcomb for wanting to see the Stormtrooper Dressember!! It was a lot of fun wearing this and playing with it! Hehe ❤️✨ . . . P.S. Head to @dressember to see all the good work they're doing, and donate to fight sex trafficking and modern slavery!! ✊🙏 . . . #itsmorethanadress (at South of Market, San Francisco)
