Practical Pink

March 28, 2012

My type of button-up shirt: Pink, surprise cut-out in the back, long trail to cover the boot-ay and affordable price tag. This one was all that, practical with the right amount of girly.

Casual outfit worn to collegeWore it with a thrifted, mustard color skirt I got for almost nothing and snake print Luichiny heels.

The blinding earrings will soon become an extension of my earlobes since I can’t get myself to take them off me. My friend Lutfi designed them. Pretty rad-iculous, ey?

Newsboy

March 19, 2012
A few years ago my friend Geral gifted me a vintage newsboy hat her mom had found in a thrift store. I’ve been wanting to wear it but could not get one image out of my head: J.Lo circa 2002. Not that I have anything against Jenny from the block, but it certainly wouldn’t feel like myself.

Finally got around to wearing it with leopard print and glitter hoping to look more 70s than early 2000s, less country and more disco. Not sure what category this outfit falls into, but I kinda like how it confuses me.

 Went to my mom’s hometown, El Progreso, for an interview about my blog at a local television show and took these pictures on my way back home. We stopped at what seemed like an abandoned stable and as I “posed” for the shots, we were greeted by a guard and his very. sharp. machete. Might’ve been the glitter heels that convinced him I wasn’t a criminal, but he gave us a smile and  let us proceed.

Print on Print

March 12, 2012

I spotted a cute ol’ lady having lunch at the only shopping mall in La Ceiba, Honduras. She was wearing a cute yellow dress with an orange floral print…seemed as if she was ready to head out to church. Reminded me of an old Jill Stuart dress, one of my first “big” thrift finds. Wore it with a skirt over it and hear yee a walking garden inspired by the cute ol’ lady:

This outfit got me more stares of confusion than my hats ever have! I provided quite the entertainment but the colors made me so happy.
