I really want to say Thank You! to my family and friends that have been very active reading my blog and spreading the word, I appreciate it ♥. Thanks for your kind words and compliments, I feel really flattered! I noticed my cousins Irma and Karina were reading and sharing as well: HI! Thank you! Also my follower since forever Gaby Pohlenz: HI! yes I changed the name of the blog... I thought it needed a face-lift and I'm trying to be more active as you can see hehe.

So... regarding the day of this outfit... I totally forgot my camera! It was a few days ago and I really liked the cactus on the background :( so had to take this picture with my phone :(.

My sisters made me notice the comment box was hidden, it's supposed to work now but for some reason is not working on mobile devices, just regular laptop/desktop (I need to check that - en casa de herrero...) 

Hello everyone!

This is something I wore last weekend, I got the inspo from Pinterest (as always), you can check my wardrobe inspiration board and search for "Plaid" tons of stuff there!

The specifics are:

- Plaid Shirt I got from a Ross rack BUT I ordered a similar from Old Navy (tall girl section) and as soon as I get it, I will mix it with something else and talk about fabric/quality comparison. You can find similar plaid shirt here, and you can check the one I just ordered here.

- Tall Skinny Jeans from Old Navy (here). 

- Blazer is Forever 21. I bought this one last year but you can find similar ones here and here.

- I'm also wearing my Kate Spade Berkeley Lane Hanna (find it here with a 20% off discount and similar one here).

And the shoes!!! I want to talk about the shoes a little bit more... these shoes are 100% leather and they're also 100% Mexican. Here in México, there's a town called "León" -in the state of Guanajuato- that specializes in leather goods, everything is genuine and this is as good as it gets, you can smell the real leather. To be 100% honest, I think sometimes the designs are... well... not very impressive; they're progressing at least, they're a bit chunky sometimes or not that detailed, but I do believe the shoe makers are in the right path. Price? $16.00 USD, yep... that's right... for a leather good who also happens to have a very sturdy sole. I could be drowning in these except Mexican girls don't usually come in my size (5'11")... so Mexican shoes don't usually come in my shoe size (9.5 US).

I was walking in a store that I can't lie, I normally wouldn't be walking in that specific store except that I was desperately trying to find a basic turtleneck tee with long sleeves... it's like they don't exist! So I was desperate, I walked in this store... I was about to leave (after checking there were no basic turtleneck tees), I saw the booties and went like "mmm interesting..." then I saw size 27 (which is actually a 10 US, so they're a bit roomy), I saw the price and went like "this is obviously PU..." (but the smell is actually kind of strong) then I check the materials.. LEATHER! "This can't be!" Tried them on, yes they're a bit big but they're booties not pumps so I'm fine with it and I'm THRILLED with this purchase.

Thank you Mexican shoe makers! Thank you for these!
