How are you dressing right now?
I work at a sports tech start-up so my day to day is generally pretty casual. This gives me an opportunity to dress up in Maria Pinto for social, business casual, and formal occasions.
How would you describe your personal style?
I’d say I have a lot of different styles depending on my mood. I can be preppy, androgynous, feminine..it really depends on how I’m feeling. Love color and also like new shapes/patterns.
Andrea is wearing the Alize 2 coat in Mud and Clarisse dress in Otsu.
How do you take care of yourself?
Exercise and massages.
If you could live anywhere (and money is no object), where would you choose?
Manhattan Beach
Best gift you've ever received?
My kids :)
How are you dressing for work?
I generally am casual but there are occasions where I dress up and wear a Maria Pinto blazer or skirt.
Andrea is wearing the Mika top, Birgit skirt, and Obi belt in Radar and the Shuka jacket, Redmane top, and Devi skirt in Black with the Avenger belt.
What is important to you when it comes to buying clothing?
I want things that are comfortable and can fit my body well. Things that are easy to clean are also a huge plus as a working mom.
What are you watching, reading, and/or listening to right now?
