Comments:
I love hats, plain and simple, but wearing hats in Panama truly is a challenge. Most people in Panama dress in the same way, so when there is someone who wears something out of the box, it truly is like a sore thumb that stands out. That said, it is always a challenge for me to wear hats because nobody here in Panama wears them.

For that reason, I've learned that confidence is a key ingredient to wearing my funky colorful hats in this country. I always get many stares, whispers, and comments (sometimes good sometimes bad). I also have people who look at me like "who does she think she is?!". But you know what? I love hats, and I will keep wearing my hats no matter how many people stare at me or whisper things about me.

I dress for myself and for nobody else. I feel so proud of myself for being myself and not caring about what other people think. I hope you all stay true to yourselves as well! You are all special and wonderful, no matter what other people say. Be you, cuz you are great!

Here is a sneak peek of all the wonderful things I bought from Forever 21 and Asos.com. I was so happy to receive my big box of goodies from the mail!

My mom bought me this adorable floral purse yesterday, isn't it cute!? I always love when I come back tired from work and she surprises me with something special like this purse, or a new dress. My mom has always been so thoughtful and loving.

You know what's the best part of this new purse?! It comes with a kitty included!

Hahaha, just kidding. That's just our kitten Jones :) I wanted to take a picture of him peeking his head through the purse, but he was so stubborn that this was the best shot I got. lol.
