Blue jeans, White shirt


For tonight's post I'm sharing another simple and basic outfit: The classic blue jeans mixed with a plain white shirt.

I always say, "when in doubt wear jeans." They are so versatile, no matter what, they will always look good whith anything, even with sneakers! The thing with jeans is that they must fit your body great.  I have slim legs, but that means that I also have a slim butt. So that means I get to wear any type of cut with a natural waist. The drop waist looks terrible on me from behind.


For this look I wore a light washed skinny jeans with a white silk, over-sized shirt. I love wearing skinny jeans with over-sized tops, it looks effortless and cool. If the shirt is to over-sized I like to tuck it a little inside the jeans.

I also wore a simple grey cardigan, to add a little bit more texture to the look. Plus it was a chilly  afternoon. 


To add a pop of color I wore my bold coral red pumps, they are perfect for simple outfits. They have the ability to upgrade a sort of boring outfit to a great minimal one.

I wore this look for those crazy Mondays full of work. I felt super comfortable and fresh the whole day!

Thanks a lot for reading!!

Wearing White


Wearing all white was another thing I wanted to try this month. I have to say, this has been the biggest challenge ever!

I can create all white outfits for other people to wear, I find it so easy. But for me, it just didn't work..

First of all my white jeans don't fit anymore, they are two sizes bigger than my actual size, and all my white blouses are over-sized so it didn't work.  I tried, but I didn't felt comfortable, it was too loose and a lot of white for me (a "do you have this in black" kinda girl.)


But I did created a inspired look, that I did felt comfortable with.  Although this was the whitest I could go.

I wanted a simple clean oufit, I chose an oversize pj's inspired silk blouse, with a marble print fold over mini skirt. This piece adds so much style to any simple outfit, but I have to be honest, I can't bent over at all! So that makes it not so comfortable to wear, but for me it's worth it!

I really felt I needed a little bit more dark colors in my look so I wore a black berry lipstick. This one it's  "black berry color fast" from Max Factor.


Because the skirt it's too short, I decided to wear this amazing ankle strap sandals. This are one of my favorite heels to wear, they are super comfortable (I'm not lying!!) , plus they always give this classy vibe to any look I wear them with. 

I didn't succeed in this challenge, but I was really glad and comfortable wearing this look! 

Thanks so much for reading!

The blazer, some silk and a skull


Tonight I can check another thing out of my list: "Really rock a blazer"! I have to say, this is not easy for me, I have some kind of phobia for blazers. What's funny is that couple of years ago, I used to adore them. I have a lot of them in every color stored in my closet! 

The story why I don't like very much wearing a blazer is that they immediately add me years, I just look so much older. I started noticing that when random people in the street would "mam" me. I don't mind looking my age don't get me wrong, but "mam" it was too much, it freaked me out and I just stopped wearing blazers. Since that day, I haven't been called "mam" again!


Now whenever I want to wear a blazer I always, always go for really effortless looks, the more casual the better! So, this look it's really casual, effortless and easy to wear, specially for hot summer days.

I wore this amazing blazer, it was my mom's back in the 70's, it's made of line so it's really breezy, plus the color it's just incredible. It's a dusty lilac, really trendy right now.


I mixed it with a light, silk blouse. I love this kind of blouses they always work, no matter with what I wear them, they always make me look simply nice.
I added my favorite skull necklace, (this won't be the last time you see it!) for a more kind of edgy vibe.


Because I wanted something very casual, I decided to combine all this pieces with some distressed, hombré washed, denim shorts. They gave me that young factor that I needed. To top that off, I added a pair of sporty inspired sandals. To keep that young edgy vibe to the whole look.

I must say nobody "mam" me the whole day and night, and I did a lot of activities: beauty supplies shopping, went for an ice-cream, lunch, some shopping and later that night I wet to the movies. So I can say I really rocked that blazer!

Thanks a lot for reading my lovely readers!!
