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.

Thanks a lot for reading!

No. 3, Trying a New Restaurant

March is going fast, and I just have checked two things from my "10 thing to do this month!"
But today I can check one more: Try a new restaurant.

Some of my dearest friends and I had quite some time of not seen each other, and we really needed to! So One of them proposed a lunch date at an organic restaurant, here in Guatemala called "Pitaya Juice bar".

Some of my friends and I were first timers there. The food and the drinks were delish! Plus It was a really nice place to chat and catch up with my friends. I had a great time! (sorry for the crappy photo, I left my camera at home.)

It was a beautiful sunny day, so I wanted to wear something fresh and casual. I went for a long sleeve crop top. Even though it's a long sleeve top, it's breeze and comfortable to wear in warm days.

I complemented it with a high waisted denim shorts. I'm in love with this ones, I wear them all the time, they always give me this effortless chic look.

I really appreciate when clothes have little details, and this shorts are filled with them.

I adore to wear shorts with heels, but sometimes it can be a little tricky, I don't want to look trashy or like I'm trying to hard. So I always go for minimal heels in neutral colors. I really like how they look with ankle straps. I just bought this ones a couple of days ago, and I'm really proud of them. They are super comfortable, go with everything and add a trendy vibe to every look I wear them with.

This look really worked for me. Later that day I went to a "Max Leiva" exhibition at "Poporopo" art gallery/bar and believe it or not, I felt dressy!! yet appropriate for the place where it was, which I may add, that it's a great place!!
