As a personal stylist it’s my job to show you great wardrobe staples and seasonal favorites. I occasionally also like to share something different, something bold and oh did I find a look...
Nordstrom teamed up with visual artist, Cristina Martinez, for their latest collaboration. And let me tell you, they created something special. You can see the whole collection right here... but I want to share with you more about the two pieces I'm wearing from the collab...
Cristina Martinez Short Sleeve Button-Up Shirt
NORDSTROM
An easy, relaxed fit defines this versatile button-up made with recycled fibers and brightened with a print by Seattle artist Cristina Martinez.
Cristina Martinez Print Pants
NORDSTROM
A lively print and a mostly recycled fabric mean these pants are all about the feel-good factor.
Fashion should be FUN! It’s the boldest outfits that get the admiration… you know, the “I wish I had the guts to wear that” compliments. I’m a little girl, ringing in at 5’3”. It takes a lot to get me noticed, to stand out in a crowd.
The short sleeve button-up shirt and print pants, both from the Cristina Martinez spring collection will for sure get me noticed. These flowy, colorful pieces are bold, beautiful and adorned with butterflies! When I saw them I had to play.
My friend tied the shirt in the back so I could button it and not be swallowed alive... it’s really boxy. Especially when you are petite and you want to wear a flowy look from top to bottom you must show off your waist. I tucked the top in the front and the pants I’m wearing are a size 4, high on my waist. I could also put a fitted tank underneath and unbutton the top to slim down the look and break upl all that pattern.
Josselyn Sandal
SAM EDELMAN
A wooden block heel and platform lend clog-inspired style to this chunky sandal topped with supple leather.

Straw Panama Hat
RAG & BONE
Set to be the season's It bag, this roomy cotton canvas tote branded with logoed webbing straps will easily go from the city to the beach.
Mini Skull Croc Embossed Leather Bag
ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
A grinning skull with twinkling crystal eyes adds signature Gothic charm to a croc-embossed bag that can be carried in hand or with its gleaming chain strap.
I paired the top and bottom with the Josselyn sandal from Sam Edelman, that I shared in a recent post "Six Shoes You'll Want to Wear on Repeat this Spring". The higher heel let's me wear the pants without needing a hem.
Style tip... with a wide-leg pant like this one either go all the way to the floor or crop it above the ankle. Please do not have the hem somewhere-in-between, it will look like your pants are too short.
P.S. Believe it or not... "Goth Business Casual" may have a moment in 2022. If if it does, my Alexander McQueen mini croc embossed leather bag may be the perfect key piece to be on-trend in the office this season without having to go full vampire. Lol.
