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

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?

Colorful sweaters make everything better

The Tuesday after Labor Day was the worst case of the Mondays, even though it wasn’t even Monday! From getting a parking ticket in the morning, to dropping my box of strawberries all over my driveway, I was absolutely DONE with Tuesday. Wednesday morning I decided to wear my favorite sweater and sneakers. I get compliments on this sweater every single time I wear it😊 I … Continue reading Colorful sweaters make everything better

These jumpsuits make me jump for joy!

Being 5 feet tall and curvy isn’t easy. Nothing ever fits properly; clothing is either too long, too tight on my hips and thighs and too loose everywhere else, etc. Jumpsuits have been a thing for a while but I was convinced they just weren’t for me. I was wrong! After some digging, endless fitting rooms, various department stores, discount stores (you name it!), I … Continue reading These jumpsuits make me jump for joy!

I tried to wear shorts…

This labor day weekend, my parents decided to have a garage sale. Their garage has been slowing filling up with extra stuff. They had everything from clothes, shoes, couches, tables, chairs and even carpet squares. One person’s junk is another’s treasure, or something like that… Since my parents live deep in the East Bay, it gets pretty hot out here. A few weeks ago I had … Continue reading I tried to wear shorts…

An attempt at mixing fall and summer…

Over the summer, during one of my online browsing days, I found a pair of really cute embroidered boots for SUPER cheap on the Macy’s website (I am a pretty avid Macy’s shopper tbh). Naturally, I had to get them. Fast forward a couple of weeks, I was visiting my sister in Sacramento. She wanted to take me to this amazing brunch place called Bacon and … Continue reading An attempt at mixing fall and summer…

Summer is not over!

If you live in San Francisco, like I do, summer might feel like a distant memory.  But summer isn’t quite over. This summer I actually got to splash around and swim! How did you spend your summer? Living in the Bay Area isn’t always conducive to cute ‘traditional summery’ clothing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do summer, without summery clothing 😉 This is what … Continue reading Summer is not over!
