Joy and I are both freelancers which means our meetings might be a 9am phone conference in our pajamas, a 12 noon brunch, or at 5:30pm for cocktails before sunset—no day is ever the same.
I like to show my personality when I first meet a client, so that means most likely I'll be wearing bright and punchy colors. My version of a power meeting outfit shows that you can still look professional while mixing colors and patterns in a fun, yet sophisticated way… — Bri

i love this! i am a designer as well and i dress in patterns and bright punchy colors, even for client meetings. some people shy away from it but i think it’s important to dress the way you feel. so cute!
I love how everything from both types of ‘meetings’ can still be mixed and matched too, like the blazer with that dress! Great eye Bri.
I usually shy away from colors aside from accessories, but I’m loving everything here!
I absolutely love the dress – I would probably pair it with a pair of nude wedges at a backyard party.
Such a Bri Outfit…!I can imagine her in those garments,having a meeting…(you forgot your smile girl!!this is your statement piece!!!)
Great ideas! I love the watch, and the tee and white jeans combo!

I really love this column. I am a working mom and sometimes (a lot of times) I forget how to have style. 🙁 This is exactly the kind of guidance I need!
How do you make your cute collages? I always love them!!

I am so completely mesmerized by the blazer flashing on and off. This outfit is so adorable. I love the flats!

Perfection! This is my kind of meeting ensemble! Can’t describe how much I enjoy this new column!
I love these looks! They are fun with the right dose of sophistication.
love it. i love colourful pattern outfits. as a freelancer myself i get a little shy sometimes showing up in too colourful and POP-y for a first meeting. both joy and bri are a huge inspiration and give me confidence for outfits tho, thanks girls!
I really love your blog. I like the color of blazer so much..Thanks for sharing keep updating your blog.
Love the whimsical pops of color with the vintage looking watch!
Killer outfits! A blazer is always a good idea
Love both looks, but that blazer is my favourite and what a steal from Top Shop!
