Denim Midi

We love denim, we love midis... is this dress perfection?

According to fashion reports, denim is back. Truth is, it never really went away.

Denim is a classic staple "item" we all have in our closets. It is flattering and easy to wear.

I found this dress in one of my many trips to Forever21. I knew right away it'd fit perfectly.

Midi-length is 'in' and flatters my figure beautifully.

This dress is a light denim fabric that is perfect for the summer. It can easily be worn with flats for an even more casual and comfortable look. You can be creative and use it as a top with a long maxi skirt, or you can make it semi-casual like I did in this look.

I decided to keep it casual, easy and simple.

I love wearing denim with this tan color; it's effortless. I kept jewelry to a minimum so the dress and the sunglasses could be the statement. I went with my every day bag which is my travel tote; it is a basic but the most comfortable bag ever.

Are you into denim dresses this season? ...Can you style it?!

Fun Fact: These pictures were taken by my daddy.

I am so amazed by his patience and effort.

We were at "La Plaza" of the town I was born in: Humacao, Puerto Rico. This Plaza is were the main and biggest Catholic Church in town is located. My parents got married here and there's so much more history in this place. It is very special to me.

Tropical Spring

"Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." -The Devil Wears Prada

...Well, I happen to think florals can be "groundbreaking" all year round!

Florals can be romantic, fun, classic or edgy, it all depends on how you style it. I love playing with prints, specially florals. You can mix prints or just wear them as a statement.

This blog post was totally unplanned, hence the hair.

I've had this skirt for such a long time; I always wear it on days that I don't feel like dressing up and just want to be comfortable. I was at my grandma's house and this was my outfit of the day, minus the lipstick and the heels (of course). On my way home I remembered that when I bought this skirt I always pictured it with red lips... Then I realized, "Omg I've never done red lips with this skirt!" So, when I arrived at my place I put on some lipstick, looked for some heels, grabbed a clutch and I was out the door. Ha!

I like how the whole look turned out. However, I must admit this isn't something I would've thought of blogging... ever! I guess that's one of the fun parts of blogging and being a stylist... the unexpected. The creativity and the random last minute ideas that end up being pretty cool.

Remember, "fashion is what you buy, style is what you do with it". Style is a very personal thing and this is why sometimes random looks just happen to be "amazing".

To me, it's all about having fun and being creative with fashion, but most importantly adding confidence and personality to everything you wear.

Have you ever worn a total random outfit that ended up being a hit? Are you into florals?

... Can you style it?
