Kerri Pine claims to be a tomboy. But when we caught up with the 29-year-old Owings Mills resident during her lunch break in Harbor East, all we could think was feminine chic. The instructional designer for Laureate Education immediately won us over with her strong color combinations. (Ladies, this is how to properly mix and match patterns and colors.)

It started with her stripped blazer from H&M. She matched it with a simple silk top by Frenchie from Nordstrom. Her green three-quarter pants from Gap were fantastic, as were her gold-studded chunky heels by Steve Madden. Her watch was Michael Kors, her tribal necklace was purchased from Etsy; her earrings were a gift from her mother. Michael Kors also made her navy purse. "The key to great style is rocking what you love with confidence," she said.
