Pink Winter

It was still early 2018 and the cold front was still in Miami, it was 46 degrees and it was finally time to break out the Marchesa Voyage cape coat I've never been able to wear, even if it was just for a few hours in the morning. If you remember my previous posts, I had originally bought this coat for $25 at Ross for an upcoming NC trip, which ended being a warm trip. Never thought I would be able to use it here in Miami and lately there have been more cold fronts, even now in March.

My go to new skinny jeans Bongo from JCPenney, new Tommy Hilfiger knit top from Ross, embroidered Marchesa Voyage cape coat worth almost $600 bought for $25 at Ross and boots from Sears.

I had decided to put up my valentines decor early in January.

A chilly 46 degrees.

For this very pink makeup look, I used Huda Beauty obsessions palette in mauve, eyebrows are Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade in taupe and Everlasting liquid lipstick from Kat Von D in melancholia. Also used Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional primer.

Iced Neck and Lace Dresses

Unknown accessories , chic 0 Comments

It was an all black look again for work with some "ice" added around my neck, hence the title for this blog post. I wore black skinny jeans from Walmart, peplum top was a gift, sandals from Rainbow and backpack from Payless.

Necklace came attached to a short bought at Rainbow, earrings were a gift from Colombia, ring was bought from my wholesaler, white watch and bracelet from mini in the box.

After work, since I had to wait a bit for the next bus, I looked around Macy's women since I always go through that store to go to the bus. I looked through the clearance dresses and found these two I liked to try on. I got size small since I've lost a lot of weight lately, the pink one didn't quite zip up in the boobs area since it was not a stretch dress, it fit in all other areas.

Then I tried on the other one, which did fit and zip up all the way and that's why I took it home with me. It was about $10 something with taxes, great price for this cute and simple dress, I just need to find the right occasion to wear it, since I'm working all the time and always wearing work clothes. Although this could be worn for work with black tights and a black cardigan.

Purple Floral

I got dressed today because I was going into the next town with my parents, but plans changed since we could do everything tomorrow Saturday before I leave to the airport. I put one a necklace and earrings that belong to my mother since it's jewelry I won't be able to wear again.

I wore a floral top from Forever 21 and black skinny jeans.

Silver and pearl dangle earrings borrowed from my mother the she bought here in Nicaragua, silver band part of a two ring set.

Giant pearl and clear bauble bracelet and small pearl bracelt from Zetram Designs, others were gifts.

Created a pink and purple eyeshadow look with soft pink lips.

Necklace borrowed from my mother and unfinished manicure with my new cab yellow polish.

Hot Walk

Unknown casual , fashion 0 Comments

Nothing too special, just a casual outfit since I was going to walk in the hot sun. I've seen postings that people wear pink on Tuesdays now, didn't know and I coincided with it.

Pink tank top from Walmart, black vest from Ross and jeans from Jordache.

It was national lipstick day and I wore a pink shade from Revlon that I love!

Interview in a Polar Vortex

Unknown Aeropostale , American Eagle 0 Comments

Monday afternoon I got a call to set up an interview in the city with New York Life, which is an insurance company. My appointment was set up for the next day Tuesday at 11am, but was rescheduled for 9am since there was a snowstorm predicted to come at noon. My feet were still hurting from the walk on Sunday and now I had to go back to the city.

It was going to a cold one so I needed to layer. Wore tights, leggings and Express pants, a cami, long sleeve thermal from Aeropostale, pink professional button down shirt from TJMaxx, a vest, a cardigan from H&M and a blazer from MadRag.

This time I wore more comfortable shoes to walk in, but so wrong for all the snow on the trip back. Ballet flats by American Eagle at Palyess.

The interview location was right by Grand Central so I had to take the metro north straight down.

Well, everyone got a surprise including myself cause the snow actually started before 9am, it was already snowing when I exited Grand Central to walk to the interview location.

That day was my cousin's kid's birthday, so we all walked out in the snowstorm to have pizza at a place nearby. The walk back was more brutle because the snow was worse, but we all embraced it, polar bear hat and all!
