Silicon Valley is turning out to be quite a fashion forward city. While not making it on the top 10 list for most fashionable US cities (yet) there are plenty of fashionable people, fashion tech companies making their HQ in Silicon Valley, and top retailers moving in to make this a city to watch when it comes to fashion. This past weekend I attended the Camille K + Jarbo fall fashion preview at the Quattro restaurant at the Four Seasons in Palo Alto.

Pattern Play
These Trina Turk pants are the perfect example of great pattern play. I love mixing prints and patterns {broken record} and these mini Berber stripe jacquard pants really do it for me.

Dress like a Boss
You know how they say you should dress for the job you want not the job you have. I'm not saying that the job I have now isn't great, it is, but I definitely don't plan for this to be the best position I ever hold. So, if you want to be a boss, then dress like a boss! Well, there are some days where I abide by that rule and there are others where I prefer to dress more casually, I do work at a startup.
