Business Casual

This past week I went to a three-day conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The second day I wore this outfit for lunch, where we had to go dressed business casual. You know how I'm always talking about balancing the outfit; as you can see in the picture, I wore floral printed pants and black shirt. I know that the palazzo pants I am wearing may seem a little too flowery, but since everybody at the conference were college students, I decided I wanted to look young and just to be rebel not wear black pants.  

Printed palazzo pants, and solid black shirt with black pump heels, bracelet and small earrings.

Since it was during the day, my make-up was light, just with "cat-eye" eyeliner, pink lipstick and loose waves on my hair. 

I really liked this outfit because it does not look boring at all, it has spirit, and it is already spring so it is fine to wear floral prints. I know I have seen several styles similar to this one, and the floral printed palazzo pants are now on sale everywhere you go, so you will not have trouble finding them. 

Special Occasion

Sometimes they invite us to a quinceañera or to a wedding and most of the times we do not know what to wear, specially because we are not direct family with the person/s being celebrated. We all know that family members go out of their way and buy expensive dresses with rhyme stones and glamorous arrangements and they pay a hair stylist to do their hair and make up.
The dress Edna, my aunt, is wearing is perfect for these kind of occasions; the long dress looks formal, but the print on the fabric gives it a more relaxed touch. Details on this dress like the neckline, the show of the right leg caused by the split of the dress and the back opening makes this outfit look sexy. Open-toe heels in color black, as well as the necklace and earrings, because there is already too much going on with the dress and the floral print. Make up for the night; with smokey eye and bright pink lipstick, and tied up hair so the make-up and accessories can stand out.

Here I am wearing a similar dress: long-sleeve and with a busy print pattern on the fabric. Long earrings, and a ring for accessories. Normal straightened hair and smokey- eye, but nude lipstick.
My brother, is just wearing formal pants and dressy shirt, but he did not wear a blazer because he  wanted to look a little more casual as well. 

Ready for Spring

It is March and spring is around the corner! Although, in the Valley most of the times the temperatures are hot. This outfit is semi-casual because of course there is a little glam added to it!

Edna, the model, is wearing a beautiful fuchsia long-sleeve top but she is showing a little bit of belly. This adds the feel that it is almost spring and colors like this one show the spirit of it. Ripped-blue jeans just to add a little of sparkle and youth to the outfit. High heels, and belt of the same color and let's not forget about the three-layer necklace she is wearing that go according to the neckline of the blouse, because of course accessories matter a lot! 

You could wear this outfit to go to a restaurant to spend a good time with family or friends. Since this outfit is to wear during the day-time you could also of course wear flats instead of heels, whatever makes you feel more comfortable, but remember that the color of the shoes and belt need to match, that is key!
