If it wasn’t so sad, I might have to say gray is my favorite color. My true allegiances lie with pink for it’s cheerful and bright personality, but I love dressing in all shades of black and gray. And lately as summer has been beating down on us in its final stretch in San Antonio, I’ve been yearning for some chilly weather, misty skies, and a warm cup of cocoa. I think that’s what inspired me to don this cozy kaftan and creamy leather jacket the other day for a mid-morning meeting.

While you may consider kaftans to be more of a casual affair, I personally like to play with the lightweight fabric and pretty patterns for a business casual look. I received this embroidered tunic in today’s look, plus the bell sleeved number I wore to the Stella & Dot Fall Debut from Kaftans by Silk and More, a fantastic resource for flowing and fabulous frocks. Since having two babies I appreciate a dress that doesn’t hug my curves too tight, but also isn’t a tent to make matters worse. This site allows you to completely customize your dress with pockets, length, sizing, pattern, etc. so it’s precisely what you want. I personally loved getting to add pockets to each of my dresses because honestly, who doesn’t love pockets on a dress?! Ordering is simple and I highly recommend ordering two sizes down since the sizes run large. The full length option is also beautiful for maternity, family pictures, or just a stroll at the beach. You could also pull double duty with many of their styles as poolside cover-ups! The options are endless.

So until gray skies are actually here, I’ll be utilizing the color in my wardrobe, just praying for chillier weather. To keep this look summery, I paired the dress with gold TopShop heels, my go-to Céline bag, and gold accessories. It’s also hard to tell, but my updo includes a tiny black bow at the base of my top knot, a fun little twist for creative meetings. On this particular day we were touring The Broadway residences in Alamo Heights for an upcoming social media event with FGI! Want to come? Click here for tickets!
