Look of the Day: For Real

This outfit is my new favorite! I’ve had this dress for years but kept it out of rotation for a while, but my new favorite vintage handbag plus my chambray shirt and orange platforms have given it new life. Finding a new way to wear an old favorite is as exciting to me as shopping for a new one.
This one I wore to a birthday lunch with friends to the Phoenix Art Museum a few weeks agos, but I highly suspect it will be seeing a lot of sunlight this summer. In fact, I might just wear it again this weekend to celebrate Mother’s Day. How are you guys planning to pamper your mom on their well deserved holiday?
Whatever your plans, I hope you enjoy them!

Look of the Day: California

Finally I get a chance to do a little fashion post, even if I have to keep it short and sweet due to lack of time. I know that sounds like a lame excuse, but it’s true. Things have been crazy for several weeks, and even as I’m slowly trying to get back to my good ol’ routine, truth is my mind is still scattered from it all. So bear with me please.
As you know, I spent a few days in California in early April, and this is the outfit I wore my first day there. We spent it strolling down the famous Venice Beach boardwalk and soaking up some sun in Malibu beach. By the way, if you are ever in Malibu, I highly recommend you visit Malibu Kitchen at the Malibu Country Mart; it is the cutest little market where you can find fresh food and great pastries and enjoy them in a nice casual setting.
Of course for such a casual and relaxing day, I just wanted to be comfortable, so this outfit is what I chose. The weather was chillier than I was expecting, but luckily I recently scored the perfect jean jacket at Old Navy (I had been searching for one for ages!) and it did the trick.
Besides the photos of my look, I added a few others from that day, hope you enjoy them!

Look of the Day: Everyday

Spring is just around the corner, and though most fashionistas out there can’t wait to start rocking their spring/summer ensembles, I on the other hand am a little bit bummed about not getting that much of a chance to wear my coats and boots. Winters might get colder than you’d think in the desert, but they are very short lived.
And speaking of boots, I’ve had this pair for 7 years and have worn them every single winter. I can even get a little melancholic when thinking about items that have been staples in my wardrobe for years, and to think of all the moments in my life they’ve been a part of.
Anyway, this outfit is very much me. In fact, you could even call it my “uniform”. No matter what season, you’ll very often find me in this kind of skirt with a simple top and a major necklace. Just add weather appropriate footwear (boots, sandals, heels), a belt if I want to look more put-together, and that’s it. Comfortable, flattering and easy…doesn’t get any better than that.
Now tell me, do you have a personal style “uniform”? What is it? Please share!

La primavera ya está a la vuelta de la esquina, y aunque la mayoría de las fashionistas allá afuera no pueden esperar para empezar a lucir sus mejores atuendos de esta temporada, yo por mi parte no estoy tan contenta de tener tan poca oportunidad de usar mis abrigos y botas. El invierno en el desierto podrá ser más frío de lo que imaginan, pero es muy corto.
Y hablando de botas, este par lo tengo hace 7 años, y las he utilizado cada invierno. Hasta me puedo poner un poco melancólica pensando en las cosas que se han sido parte de mi guardarropa por años, y de pensar en todos los momentos de mi vida en que me han acompañado.
En fin, este outfit es muy yo. De hecho hasta podría decirse que es mi “uniforme”. Sin importar la temporada, muy seguido me pueden encontrar vistiendo una falda de este tipo con una playera sencilla, y un gran collar. Sólo agreguen calzado de acuerdo al clima (botas, sandalias, tacones), un cinturón si quiero verme más arreglada, y listo. Cómodo, halagador y fácil…nada mejor que eso.
Ahora ustedes, tienen algún “uniforme” de su estilo personal? Cuál? Cuéntenme!
