Don’t be afraid of bold colors and patterns// No tengas miedo de los colores y patrones audaces

I don’t have a specific style that I prescribe to. Some days I feel like wearing all black, others I feel like dressing up real girly in pink and glitter and other days I feel like wearing a hoodie with sneakers and jeans. Something I do generally love, however, is pushing the boundaries with colors and patterns. What was running through my mind with this … Continue reading Don’t be afraid of bold colors and patterns// No tengas miedo de los colores y patrones audaces

Top 3 things to keep in mind when thrift store shopping// 3 cosas de tener en mente cuando en una tienda de segunda mano

I am fairly new to thrift store shopping. Although I grew up being thrifty, hello Ross and clearance at Macy’s, my mom just wasn’t into the whole second hand clothing thing. As an adult, I have grown to love going to thrift stores. There are many things I like about second-hand clothing: 1. I enjoy the thrill of not really knowing what I may find. … Continue reading Top 3 things to keep in mind when thrift store shopping// 3 cosas de tener en mente cuando en una tienda de segunda mano

Black on Black outfits//Outfits en puro negro

Do you ever get the urge to just dress all in one color? I am always fighting that urge but my favorite, and one I don’t usually avoid, is wear all black. Black is such a great color! It looks great on everyone, it is slimming (or so they say?), its super classy, and it is easy and effortless. My favorite part of this outfit? … Continue reading Black on Black outfits//Outfits en puro negro

Friends, it’s been a month since I started RagCloset! Honestly I can’t believe it. It feels longer, yet like it was just yesterday that I took the leap. It truly has been a whirlwind.

These are the top … Continue reading 6 things I’ve learned after my first month of fashion blogging// 6 cosas que aprendí después de mi primer mes de tener blog de moda

Nostalgia over earrings//Nostalgia sobre aretes

My ears have been pierced since I was a baby, so I don’t remember a time when earrings were not a part of my life. My mom would buy my sisters and I earrings every time we went to Mexico. Gold was a lot cheaper there, so even as kids, we had a bunch of earrings. I remember my mom would make it a whole thing … Continue reading Nostalgia over earrings//Nostalgia sobre aretes

Best way to get free clothes? Friends and family//La mejor manera de obtener ropa gratis? Amigos y familia

One of the best things about my friends and family being similar in size as me, is free clothes! I have two sisters and we are no more than 5 years apart. Growing up, it was easy to swap, exchange and borrow clothes from each other. Now that we are adults, it is even better. The sister that is closest to me in age shares … Continue reading Best way to get free clothes? Friends and family//La mejor manera de obtener ropa gratis? Amigos y familia

Earrings as a statement//Aretes como una declaración

I love earrings. If I could choose one piece of jewelry to wear, it would be earrings, hands down. When I was younger, I never dreamed of wearing big, bold, colorful earrings. Now, that is all I am attracted to! One of my first bold earrings were large silver hoops. I always liked how they looked but was too afraid to try them. On one … Continue reading Earrings as a statement//Aretes como una declaración

Summer dresses in the winter//Vestidos de verano en el invierno

I don’t have the extensive wardrobe, or the money really, to have separate clothing items to wear exclusively in certain seasons. Plus, there are a ton of really gorgeous summer dresses that should be allowed to be worn year round! A while ago, while at Community Thrift (in the Mission District in SF), my thrift store BFF found a long, sleeveless, flowy, summery dress. She … Continue reading Summer dresses in the winter//Vestidos de verano en el invierno

RagCloset goes bilingual!

Before starting this blog, I had told myself I wanted to make my next project bilingual. Being that Spanish was actually, my first language, I find it important to keep my bilingual skills, background and heritage alive. 🇲🇽 From now on, I hope to write all my posts in both Spanish and English. Not only to be able to reach a larger audience, and much … Continue reading RagCloset goes bilingual!

White after Labor Day, is that really a thing?// Blanco después del Día del Trabajo, ¿Es realmente regla?

Guilty. When, how and why that rule began, I don’t know. All I know is that I definitely don’t follow it. White isn’t really a color I try to wear often. It is so pure and pristine. I think it is a great color and all, and I do own a few things in a pure or off-white colors, but it just seems like every … Continue reading White after Labor Day, is that really a thing?// Blanco después del Día del Trabajo, ¿Es realmente regla?
