What I Wore This Week #16: Launch prep & a trip up to Northern California

A week of looks with a balance of function and style.

This week was full of exciting moments, both behind the scenes and on the road! Between prepping for the NBD x Freda Salvador Loafer Charm launch and getting ready for and traveling up to San Francisco for MARCHÉ, my days were a mix of creative energy and logistical planning.

As always, my outfits needed to balance function and style — perfect for everything from packing up samples to catching up with customers at the event. Here's a peek into what I wore to navigate this busy, rewarding week.¹

MONDAY: Can I just quickly say that I LOVE this outfit? It felt very much like “me” and also is a perfect representation of the evolution of my personal style over the last couple of years.

TUESDAY: No time to get dressed in “real clothes” after my workout, but this really shows how a great jacket and good accessories can level up workout leggings.

WEDNESDAY: Spent the day shooting content for the NBD x Freda Salvador Loafer Charms drop & prepping for MARCHÉ!

Cashmere polo / jeans / loafers & charms (15BORTON for first order)

Chunky hoops / chunky knit sweater / crescent bag (15BORTON for first order) / sunglasses coming early 2025!

THURSDAY: Travel day up to San Francisco & dinner at the hotel.

Long sleeve tee / jeans / belt / link chain / pebble necklace / suede bag & gold shoes (15BORTON for first order)

FRIDAY: Slept in (the bessssst), worked out, and got some work done. Ended the day with the welcome reception happy hour for MARCHÉ and dinner with my friend Conni.

SATURDAY: The big event!! Setup was a breeze thanks to Jules & Adam from our team, and we were busy all day long with our booth. Over 2,000 people were there throughout the event, which lasted from 10-4pm. Such a fun day!

SUNDAY: This is a bit of a different outfit formula for me, but let me tell you — SO COMFORTABLE! It felt fun to change it up a bit and try out a long, full skirt in a way that felt true to me.

Sweater / tank / skirt (NatalieB15) / bag / chunky hoops

MONDAY: Another fully packed day with no time to change into my regular clothes after my walk. Didn’t even get to shower until 5pm (TMI?!). But I do love this sweater and I am very into my new weighted vest for walking — for me, aging well doesn’t mean Botox, it means good bone density and a strong body.

P.S. I just discovered today that I have been wearing it upside down — oops!

Until next time!
