Stripes, Squares, Butterflies and fun!

Wearing pants in winter can get a little boring. As you all know, I love to wear skirts and dresses, they make me feel free and pretty. So, why not wearing them on winter? 

This time, I'm showing you how I wore this flattering, striped, pencil skirt. I wanted a simple yet feminine look. I mixed my skirt with a basic white crop top and added a trendy third piece: A light printed poncho. To make the look interesting and fun to wear.

I must say that this day wasn't cold, actually it was sunny with cool breezes every now and then. That's why my flirty skirt look worked.

I don't want fortune cookies, I want fortune walls..

Last Saturday I had the fortune to attend an art event, in one of the most awesome abandoned buildings in Guatemala city. There were a lot of really good artists who exposed their latest pieces, I really enjoyed almost all of the exhibitions. (Yep, I changed my hair color!)

I bumped into my awesome friend Mono del Espacio, who introduced me to Melvin. The amazing artist who filled with fortune and beauty a dull old wall, in front of all us who visited his exhibition.

For this event I chose to wear a smart outfit: a comfy pair of distressed black jeans, a coke t-shirt and a pale pink faux leather jacket, I just bought a couple of days ago. I love to wear faux leather jackets for rainy days, they really protect you from the rain without getting ruin, plus they always make you look like a rock star.

I also got my mani done a couple of days ago, with a Pollock paint inspired nail polish. It went perfect for the event so I was showing it a little bit off.

This awesome photos were taken by the super talented Mono del Espacio, check his tumblr out to see all the photos from that fun day!

That day was a really hot, but in the morning rained a little. So I decided to wear was a skort (for the heat), a super comfy tank from Zoad 1, (this tanks look great with anithyng you wear!) an amazing rain vest (in case it rained) and some high heel booties.

This is another way to wear a skirt for rainy days, again I think the key is layering (in this case the vest.) and the booties, so my feet wouldn't get wet. This is a more easy going outfit, super comfortable and I just felt great the whole day (I walked nonstop that day!).

Thank you so much Gustavo Dávila and Lester Liquens for this beautiful photos!!

I'm 59

One of the trends I have been in love, since it came out in 2009, is the sporty trend. First of all it's super comfortable, second of all it always gives you an amazing effortless look.

The key when wearing a sporty piece is mixing it with unexpected pieces (at least one). This will make the outfit more interesting, the easiest way to do it is with the accessories. Mixing it with other sporty pieces makes it to predictable, sometimes predictable can be a little boring.

When I wear over-sized shirts or sweaters, I like wearing them with shorts or skinny jeans with high heels. This makes your legs appear longer, balancing the whole outfit.

This amazing photos were taken by the awesome photographer: Pablo E. Segura. Thank you so so much!!

Meet me at the Prime Room.

One of my favorite things to wear is black tops with black bottoms. You can never go wrong with it, it looks super chic, elegant and just amazing.

I like wearing black everything, but sometimes I like to change it a bit, by adding white accessories.
Mixing black and white is a timeless combo, it's classy and you can wear it in any season. Adding metallic details gives so much more style to a b&w outfit.

To keep the outfit simple and classy, I like to wear pointy pumps. These type of heels have the ability to look amazing no matter what you wear. That's why I always say "When in doubt, wear pointy pumps."

I loved wearing this look, I felt such a classy, badass, gal! It's probably one of my favorite outfits I've ever worn.

Special thanks to the amazing photographer Pablo Estrada Segura, for the terrific pictures!

Denim on demin

First of all, I'm really sorry for the delay! I had some trouble organizing myself this days, but here I am!

For tonight's post I want to share with you one of my favorite combinations of all times: The 90's classic, denim on denim. I think the coolest mix you can pull off, is wearing a light denim shirt with light jeans. It creates an awesome effortless monochromatic look.

For this look, I wore some acid wash cropped jeans and mixed it with a light denim shirt. (This shirt is so special, it was my mom's back whe she was about my age.) I wanted to keep it simple and organic so I chose to wear it with white accessories.

I adore how cropped jeans, or pants in general, look with pointy pumps. My legs look longer and slimmer, it simply looks incredibly classy. 

This is how I wore another simple, comfy and effortless look, hope you like it!!

Thanks a lot Pablo Estrada Segura for the amazing photos!!

Shirt affair

A few days ago a had the pleasure to work with a great store called "Cephas Store". They sell all kinds of t-shirts promoting different bands, like: The devil wears prada, Demon hunter, Figure four, August burns red, The agony scene, and a lot more.

We shot a lot of different shirts, but I picked my favorite 5 looks. We created simple and effortless outfits, so the shirts would pop a lot more.

 I have to say that all of the shirt were super comfortable, plus they are really easy to wear. Either you can wear them down in a relax way or glam it a little for a casual trendy way.

Not only the shirts were super cool, but also the location we picked for the photoshoot is amazing. It's my second favorite place in the city. I have such great memories in this place, it literally has seen me grow. The vibe it's just great!

This was my first collab as "Dull thing with style" with a clothing store. I'm super honored and grateful for being part of this photo shoot.

The grandma, grey cardigan

I think the god of basics has to be the cardigan! It has been a basic even before basics where invented. This is one of those weird pieces that looks great on babies, kids, teens, adults and even great grandma's!! Honestly which other piece has that ability? It's just amazing!!

The cardigan can be a little tricky, either you look like a kid or like a mom. (Yep! I was called "ma'am" a few times before, just like the blazer! )  The key to wear it young, is to keep your inner outfit with edgy yet simple pieces.
Here are my 3 personal rules when I wear a cardigan.

     1. Wear a tank top or a sleeveless top. There's nothing more uncomfortable than wearing a thick  sleeve.
Never ever, wear it with a button down shirt or dress!This immediately ages me. 

    2. Wear easy going bottoms. It can be either any kind of shorts, cool jeans or a trendy skirt. Never a pencil skirt or trousers. They also immediately age me.

     3. Roll up a bit the sleeves, to give an effortless vibe to the whole look. ( I might break this rule sometimes, depending on the look I want to wear.)

For the shoes I don't have a rule. I literally wear any kind of shoe. For this look I wanted something more comfortable, cause I was going for a walk with my dog (a husky). So I really needed super comfy shoes for a busy hot summer day.

I loved this look, It not only worked for my morning walk with my dog, but also worked for a summer lunch and later when I grabbed some ice-coffee with friends.

The big black panther sweatshirt.

One of the most versatile and easy to wear piece, has to be the amazing sweatshirt. It literary goes with everything. You can either wear it down or wear it with a more polished chic look.

For this look I wanted a polished look but with a fresh more casual vibe.
I chose one of my favorite sweatshirts, It's black, comfy and has a big panther, what's there not to love?
The trick to create a chic look, is to add allure to it. And by that I mean adding pieces you never imagine them to go with a sweat shirt. For example:

 1. A statement necklace, It adds a more polished look.

  2. Add a trendy bottom, this gives a cool vibe to the whole look. It can be a trendy skirt, jeans, trousers or even overalls. It depends in wich direction you whant to go. I wanted a more casual and cool vibe, so I chose a trendy pair of jeans.

  3. Finish it up by adding a simple pair of heels, I love to wear minimal ankle straps, they always make my outfits look perfect!

I think what I love the most about the sweatshirt is, that they never go out of trend, no matter what I always have an effortless look, plus there is nothing more comfortable than wearing sweatshirts.

The perfect match

One of my ultimate favorite texture combination is the classic leather and denim. It doesn't matter which pieces are, if one is denim and the other one is leather, I know I am going to have a great outfit, for sure.

What I love the most about this mix is that is for every one!! You can adapt it to your personal style and make it your own.

For this look I wanted something fresh, comfortable and simple. I wore a light washed denim shirt, I fold over the sleeves a little, to make it look more effortless and casual. Also I wore my sporty leather mini shorts, this ones have mesh on the sides, making them look super cool.

I have to say, I have an addiction with the sports trend, every single piece in this trend not only has the super comfortable factor, but also adds a super cool vibe to every outfit you wear it with. I call it the super trend, plus it goes well with every type of body.

To add a little allure to the look, I decided to wear my studded ankle strap sandals. I love to wear heels with shorts, cause they make my legs look super long. The trick to look good with heels and shorts is to wear heels with ankle straps, booties or pointy pumps. Never with platform pumps, gladiator heels, knee boots, or peep-toe pumps. For me these are a don't, they make me feel tacky.

This outfit was so easy to wear, I think I might repeat it more than once. Changing a bit the accessories to make it a little different.

Over-size = comfy-size

Yesterday I had one of the greatest day's of the year so far! I had the pleasure to assist to "Bonito mi barrio" street art exhibition, later I attended to an anime convention. Which I have to admit I had a great time!

Because these where outdoors events besides it was a really hot sunny day, I decided to wear a comfy mesh tank top. This tank is amazing for hot summer days, it's breezy, sheer and fabulous. I consider it a basic piece in every wardrobe, no matter your style, you always need an over-sized black tank top.

I wanted an edgy look, so I wore my trusty high-waisted shorts. Instead of wearing my tank inside my shorts, I decided to wear it like a mini dress, so I would feel more fresh, free and comfortable.

Underneath my sheer tank, I wore a white and turquoise bikini top. I mean why not, the day was so hot, plus I was going to summer parties so I could get away with it.

I finished my outfit with my wonderful sporty high-stack ankle straps, (they are so comfy it's like wearing sneakers!)  and my always so chic body necklace.

I love to wear over-sized clothing, my secret is not to wear all my over-sized pieces at the same time. If I do so, I would look sloppy and neglected. I like to create a balance between a nice fitting piece and always wear heels to make the piece appealing and simply chic.
