INSPIRATION OF THE DAY: SAILOR STRIPES AND NEONS

Doesn't this look beautiful together? I think it does. I have a peculiar obsession for the following: neons, sailor stripes, little black dresses, and button down denim shirts. Those are the things I just realized I kind of have a little collection of my own. Now maybe I'll even add to the list J.Crew cigarette leg printed pants. I've never in my life owned a pair of printed pants until now, and I'm loving it! I'm wearing the one's I bought (with my neon pumps and denim shirt of course) for tomorrow's Saúl E. Méndez fashion show. I'll show you pictures next week. 

Anyhow back to the image. What would you wear this with? I'm missing a bottom. 

Acaso no se ve hermoso esto? Yo pienso que si. Tengo una peculiar obsesión por lo siguiente: cualquier cosa en color neon, las rayas marineras, vestiditos negros y camisas de lona. Me acabo de dar cuenta que tengo una pequeña colección de esas cosas en mi closet. Quizás añada a la lista los pantalones estampados de pierna recta de J.Crew. Nunca en mi vida había comprado unos pantalones estampados sino hasta ahora y los amo! Me voy a poner los que compré (con mis tacones neon y camisa de lona por supuesto) este sábado para el show de Saúl E. Méndez. La próxima semana les muestro algunas fotografías. 

En fin, de regreso a la imagen. Con qué lo combinarían? Me hace falta la parte de abajo. 

SHOES (ZAPATOS): J.Crew

SWEATER (SUÉTER): Forever 21

TODAY'S OUTFIT: SAILOR STRIPES AND NEON

This morning I was rushing to get to a meeting not so near where I work just to find out they had stood me up! Fantastic Guatemalan formality. I can't tell you how many times I've been stood up? Why is this? Is this a Guatemalan thing? Tell me is it like this where you live.

Anyhow I was running so fast I just grabbed whatever I saw in handy. I'm not sure it's such a great mix but it did the job. Why not wear your sailor stripes with neons?

OUTFIT POST: MIXED PRINTS AND NEONS

Last week I read on Refinery29 an article about 29 trends every woman should try once in her life (I think I already told you this). Out of 29 I've tried merely 17 trends. One trend I thought I still hadn't try was mixed prints. Quite frankly I don't remember ever doing it (perhaps in my early adulthood years, who knows), so yesterday I thought why not go for it. Truth is I don't have many printed separates in my closet because I seldom ever buy prints but I did find something that I thought could work,  to spice it up I added a little bit of neon which we all know is quite the craze right now. 

Here are a few tips on wearing mixed prints:

1. Stripes and Florals. Mix florals with stripes.

2. Bi-Color Patterns. Choose patterns that have only two colors and make sure that both patterns relate with each other in at least one of their colors. 

3. Large Scale with Small Scale. Pair small muted patterns with large scale patterns.

4. Mix Neutral Patterns with Neutral Patterns. 

5. Color Matching Mixed Prints. If you're daring you can match any kind of print as long as they share most of their colors. 

When it comes to mixing prints the most important thing is not to take things to seriously, just go for it! Worst case scenario you'll en up looking like a fashion disaster lol! But that too shall pass. Meanwhile I hope you like my look and maybe it will even inspire you to try something at home. Good luck!

Stay tuned for my next post on OUTFIT DETAILS.

BLUE ON BLUE AND NEONS

I bought this scarf at J.Crew last year in the month of January and it's one of those things I'm so glad I bought, it turns any outfit into something fun, like today for example I wore my MNG dark denim skinny jeans, MNG jean shirt, Massimo Dutti vest, MNG neon scarf, purple converse sneakers, Massimo Dutti cross body satchel bag, and of course my J.Crew scarf.
