Ivanka Trump cut a striking silhouette as she headed to work on Monday morning in a checkered ensemble.
The first daughter, 36, had an early start of the week and stepped left her house in Washington, D.C. home around 7:30.
She donned a black top with a light check pattern, along with matching flare pants just short enough to reveal pointy black stilettos.

On Sunday night, Ivanka shared a sweet photo of herself cuddling with her youngest child, son Theodore, who is one, and a giant teddy bear, captioning it ‘the perfect way to end the day!’
Earlier on that day, Ivanka was spotted leaving the home she shares with Jared and their three children, looking ready to hit the gym, after spending much of the weekend serving as the butt of many a joke on social media.
She was dressed casually for her active outing, wearing a pair of black leggings with sheer panels across the leg.
She paired the cropped pants with a simple black zip-up hoodie and matching black and white sneakers, as well as a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes from the bright morning light.
The first daughter was bare-faced, choosing to go make-up-free for her gym trip, allowing her to show off her naturally glowing complexion to full effect as she hopped into a waiting SUV, which was being driven by her Secret Service protection squad.
Her blonde hair was also worn in a very casual style, pulled back in messy ponytail.
While Ivanka’s eventual destination is unknown, her Secret Service agents were wearing their badges outside their coats, suggesting that the group was headed to the White House gym.

The outing occurred after Ivanka found herself at the center of a viral Twitter joke concerning a very strange Thanksgiving decor recommendation shared by her eponymous brand on its official account.
While posting about its Thanksgiving decor suggestions, tips, and tricks, the brand posted a tweet which read: ‘Have no idea how to decorate your Thanksgiving table? Problem solved.’
But it was the accompanying image that prompted Twitter to respond with a flurry of mocking messages.
Pictured was the brand’s suggested centerpiece for the table – half of a giant clam shell that had been stuffed with driftwood, moss, tangles of weeds, unwanted pine cones, dried milkweed and what appeared to be zombified albino pumpkins.
Interior designer Allison Domonoske, who wrote an article on the… unique decoration for Ivanka’s blog, described the ‘overall look’ as ‘classic and classy.’
Twitter, to put it mildly, disagreed, with dozens of amused, and in some cases outraged, users responding with some very blunt, and very funny, messages.

That’s one Hill of a design: The similarity between Ivanka Trump’s clam centerpiece and the one attempted by Peggy Hill in the sitcom King of the Hill did not go unremarked upon
Trashed: Many users felt that the items in the shell – which included driftwood, moss and pine cones found on the ground- looked more like garbage than decorations, such as this user
It’s bin done: This user suggested a less chaotic option – putting the ‘garbage’ inside a bin, then putting the bin in the shell – than the one on Ivanka’s account
