Cinco de Mayo Fiesta

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated because in 1862 Mexico won the victory on the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Although we live in the United States, many of us are hispanic, and we celebrate our hispanic heritage commemorating this day usually with a Mexican- themed party. 

Ladies, this is the perfect opportunity to dress up and party it up with your friends, plus, margaritas are always a must at Cinco de Mayo parties.

For this occasion, instead of wearing the long, fluffy, and colorful skirts we often see women wearing, these ladies opted for this comfortable, casual and yet beautiful look.

Jeans, and a blouse that is typical from the southern states of Mexico.

For the make up they all are wearing bright colors on the lips, and of course, colors that match with their skin-tone and their shirts.

This is a very simple outfit, the hard part is finding a shirt that will go according. These specific shirts were bought in Matamoros, a small city just across the border from Brownsville, but I have also seen them on sale at Brownsville's down-town stores. I think that if you look for them in advance it should not be that hard to find one. The point is that you look pretty, and of course, have fun!

Dress Up, and Show Up!

My friend Gaby is always known for wearing the most beautiful high-heels, no matter where she goes. She always says that the right pair of shoes can always make your outfit look bomb or totally bring it down if you are not wearing the correct pair of shoes. Gaby is a beautiful young lady, and her outfit is just fabulous. The most important piece of clothing in her outfit is the skirt. Since the skirt has a pattern of roses, she opted to wear just a black cropped top and black heels. 

If you look at Gaby's outfit pice by pice, everything is very pretty, but when you look at everything together as an outfit, it is great!

For the hair she wore a low-ponytail with curls, and her makeup is really light, with just a lipstick that matches the color of the skirt. As I always say, it is really good to dress up in a cute outfit, but what matters the most is that you are really feeling it; that way you can sparkle along with your clothes!
