Outfits

 I don’t get it.

The heel master has been put to shame, ladies and gentlemen. I bought these 4 inch flatform sandals thinking they were the perfect, comfy shoe for a school field trip. (Yes, yes, laugh.) Maybe it’s because they’re a little big, but these suckers are a life hazard! I tripped on them only about a million times making my ankles very unhappy.
I still wear them when I know I won’t be walking for long. They’re not easy on the eyes and they seem to multiply the size of my feet, but I adore them!

As for the rest of this outfit:

Heart print top is from Carrión. Carrión sponsors the spanish version of TWF. It’s a pretty big deal that a Honduran business believes in my blog (or in any, for that matter). ♥

Skirt: sewn by me about 2 years ago. Proof here.
Necklace: vintage, gift from grandma.

My fave pieces are starting to show signs of wear. Duh, I wear the heck out of them! I’ve already sketched up some basics to sew them up before the year ends. My closet is in desperate need of an overhaul, all the colors of my skirts are fading away. Haha!

Up next on the blog: Necklace DIY! 🙂

I spotted this adorable family selling delicious corn tamalitos  while they waited at the side of the road for their ride to be repaired.

I asked if they’d like to take pictures with me and they all happily accepted. The momma scolded her oldest daughter into tying her hair up (she refused, as you can tell), then prepared to strike a pose as her second son joined us.

Getting them to smile in front of the camera was quite the challenge! Momma bear likes to pose like a boss: straight face, crossed arms. If you can’t beat’em, join’em!

We took a few more shots until the bus driver let us know they were ready to go. They packed up my tamales and then hopped back on the bus through the back door, mom with a little help from her kids. ♥

Dress & earrings: vintage, Sandals: department store, Seahorse pin: Primark.

I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing but, in my house, whenever you acquire new things you then have to give a couple away. However, there are several pieces in my closet I’ve never been able to get rid of. This hawaiian print dress is one of them. It’s the easiest thing to wear in tropical weather and ruffles are my addiction!

My sisters seriously mocked me for this photo, claiming it looked like a telenovela scene. I couldn’t get them to stop singing the Marimar song…can you really blame them, though?

Anyway, here’s a shot at a variation of my typical, daily eyeliner, thanks to Pinterest. So many good ideas out there, I need to change things up a bit!

Next post: Island Bliss: Utila

 I’m still picking out pictures of our Utila trip (friends are gonna kill me), there are so many to choose from! See my previous post, Island Bliss: Roatan, HERE.

I love visiting Tegucigalpa (the Honduran capital) for various reasons. One of them is the weather. I can wear black you guyyys! And not sweat like a pig you guyyys! I’m not even sure if my blouse looked decent with the ruffle skirt, but I just had to wear it and closed to the last button. La Ceiba’s so hot and humid, gives ya Monica Geller-at-the-Bahamas hair…

I ended up looking very business-ready on top and very clown meets aztec on bottom. Worksh for me!

Mirror sunnies: ASOS, Sheer blouse: gift from momma, Skirt: DIY here, Clip-on earrings: vintage, from grandmotha

I fell in love with the Archduchess Platform (from Free People) ages ago, and saved up while waiting for them to go on sale. And on sale they went! Muahahaha!

By the way, I was browsing through my old posts and my heart ached for a very specific reason: I reeeeally miss taking pictures out on the town. Unfortunately, La Ceiba isn’t nearly as safe as it used to be. I hate saying negative things about my country, but the situation reflects on my blog and I really feel the need to share it. A big camera + posing in heels is recipe for getting mugged, and I obviously don’t like exposing my younger siblings (aka TWF’s photographers) to danger. We used to hear stories of tragic assaults and kidnappings, but now they’re hitting closer to home. It’s a shame, because my country is truly beautiful and what inspires my outfits; I love sharing it with you guys! I hope this changes soon, but til’ then please forgive me for flooding this blog with bland pictures taken in private neighborhoods. Better than shutting the whole thing down, right? 

This is why I’m extra excited about a trip I’m taking and will be blogging about. I promise LOTS of pictures!
