OOTD: Silky Top Denim Shorts

Hi there lovelies! This weekend I was going through so many pictures from the early 90's on the internet. I noticed in the early 90's era there was many silky printed tops worn and also rayon shirts with weird designs as well as light denim shorts.

I had this top for a few months from a trip to the thrift store. My sister Kenia thought it was interesting since it had perfume bottles and glasses along with other girly stuff so I took it from her. The shorts have just been acquired. I've been looking everywhere for "MOM" jeans. I finally found these Ralph Lauren mom jeans and cut them to make these cuffed shorts.

I look straight out of a 1993 photo album voila! I loved it was super comfortable and had a blast wearing this. Isn't it crazy how dressing from a different era can give you a different feeling and give you excitement?

Review: Retro Fashion Swimwear

Hola chicas summer was fast to come and with the rise in temperature it is a given that some of us will be spending time outdoors  by the pool, beach, lake, or just out in the sun.

Swimwear shopping is not my favorite thing to do as most bathing suits are not forgiving and only seem to highlight those problem areas. However when I was offered to participate in 2012 Fashion Collection I was delighted as most good quality bathing suits can run up to the triple digits.

I chose this Coco Rave Halter style as it reminds me of a 50's beach bombshell that I can try to imitate.

  • The rushing on the abdominal area is very comfortable, double lined and makes you look slimmer.
  • The bra area is my favorite as I was able to select my bra size so the cups and straps are roomy enough without any spillage.
  • The ruffle skirted hem is an added bonus as it gives moderate coverage to the rear and thigh area.
Overall I was very pleased with this swimsuit and noticed it was double lined which means it will last me through more washes and more summers.
