Comments:
I don't usually pair orange & turquoise together, but this dress makes it easy. In fact, every time I wear this dress, I just can't help but throw in a turquoise accessory somewhere. Sometimes I add a turquoise purse, other times a turquoise necklace or hair accessory, and next time I will probably wear it with my turquoise wedges!

I know it's sorda matchy matchy to add blue accessories, but I just can't help it you know?... Who cares if I look matchy matchy anyway ;)

Do you wear outfits in which everything matches or is that not your style?

I never thought that a black skirt could be a statement piece, but I feel that the skirt I am wearing today completely makes the outfit... I absolutely LOVE the design as well as the length of the skirt.

I tried to make this skirt a little more casual by pairing it with a simple white tee and some fun striped wedges. To add a little color, I decided on this cute red floral accessory. My brother said I looked like a pretty Spaniard or something like that... haha. All I know is that I felt awesome wearing this skirt, it's just sooo pretty!

Today I found out that there is a Parisian restaurant here in Panama that sells macaroons!! I didn't think anyone in this country made macaroons, so I was soooo excited to hear about this. In fact, I went to buy some macaroons right away! hahaha. I got one in each flavor and told my boyfriend we would taste them all together later that evening.
May 27 (7)

When I met up with my boyfriend, and I showed him the macaroons, he realized that the yellow macaroon was half eaten.... he threw me this accusing look and asked: Who ate that macaroon?!?! Then I said that I wild monkey confused it with a banana (because it was yellow) and ate it... and that I had proof!! So I showed him this picture:

Hahahahhaa, we both laughed at my silly story! I love making silly stories with Munky (Munky is this stuffed animal. My boyfriend gave him to me and I always make all sorts of pictures and jokes with him... he is a pretty special stuffed animal!). I really love that my boyfriend and I can be silly like that ;)

Do you like macaroons?

Today's outfit was SO easy; you wanna know why? Well, today's outfit is basically a copycat of an outfit from last year:
Sept 19 (1)

Basically I am wearing the exact same outfit (same shoes, same purse, same belt, and same top) but I switched the skirt for this cute floral one. How easy is that right?!

Do you copy your past outfits and just change a thing or two to make it look different?

Comments:
As many of you have probably noticed by now, I love every color of the rainbow! I absolutely love colors; but I must admit, wearing this rainbow belt is no easy task.
May 25 (7)
Today I decided to pair it with an all black & white outfit so that all the rainbow colors of the belt could stand out. I finished by adding a pop of red with the purse (I couldn't help myself, my outfits HAVE to have color!).

Do you have ideas or suggestions on how I can wear this belt in the future?

Striped purse: Zumiez

Where:

Comments:
Today I realized that I really misjudged this black collar shirt. I have worn its white twin collar shirt more times than I can count, but this is the very first time I wear the black one. I don't know why, but I always feel that the white collar shirt is so fresh and bright; whereas I thought the black collar shirt was sorda dull.... I was very wrong!
May 24 (7)
Now that I wore this shirt today, I feel that it is striking, bold, and sorda mysterious. Black is not a bad color at all! (This is a revelation for me because I really don't wear that much black). From now on, I'm sure I will be using this collar shirt more often :)

Do you ever misjudge items of clothing and when you put them on you realize they are actually awesome?
