GOOOOOOOOOD MORRRRRNIIIING!!! :) Woke up in an EXTRA good mood today with beautiful Cali weather. I seriously can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve tomorrow. I’m so excited!! My mom and I will be making traditional Mexican tamales, pozole and champurrado. I can’t wait. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and I love it even more because we attend mass at 12-midnight and let me just say…it’s BEAUTIFUL! The music, the warm environment, the festive lights..it all becomes so perfect to welcome the greatest gift of them all, baby Jesus! Anyway, you’re not here to read about that so let’s just get to the BASIC point.
Ralph Lauren V-neck Knitted Sweater
Bubbles Boutique “Denim” top
Forever 21 quilted skirt
Converse sneakers
If you follow other fashion blogs, you know you ALWAYS come across the same ol’ terms like: Statement, Staple, Basics, L.B.D., On-Trend, Chic..and the list can go on for days. The meaning is always the same, but of course, the item of choice to represent that meaning varies for us all. Which brings me to my outfit of the day ensemble. I can officially take the liberty of recommending my “Must-Have ‘Basic’ Staple Pieces” for 365 days. Not these particular pieces I have on because we all have different tastes but simply the fabric itself: Faux leather, Knits, Denim “Chambray” and SNEAKERS!
Combined together or apart, you can see that these pieces compliment each other perfectly and throughout my blog, you have seen how consistently I’ve used each one. Again, not always the same piece or style but the fabric itself has become the basic fashion statement. Now, I call them “basic” because even though they’re very eye-catching, they’re so easy and “simple” to wear on a daily basis.
When I purchased this skirt, I knew exactly how I wanted to wear it and I must say, I loved how much I was able to modernize the term “preppy”. From attending mass to holiday shopping in the overpopulated malls and spiderweb parking lots, this ensemble allowed me to look on-trend without jeopardizing comfort. Yay!!! Trust me, I ADORE heels because I love feeling sexy and sophisticated…but I’ve been wearing sneakers since I was young. I was the queen of black & white converse. They never failed and they still don’t :)
Well, hopefully this post has been a little inspiration to jot down a few ideas on what to purchase for the upcoming year! Wish you all a very LOVING & HAPPY CHRISTMAS. Remember: Fashion changes everyday and there are new growing rules every minute, it seems like. However, the best thing you can truly wear is your smile through any weather. It expresses who you truly are through the storms and the minute the light shines through those cloudy days. So don’t cry and pout if this Christmas you don’t get your Chanel purse or your Gucci shoes. As long as you’re breathing, life is truly more precious than any replaceable material thing. MERRY CHRISTMAS MIS AMORES! Feliz Navidad! May God bless you all. Xo-M
