The Gingham Dress

April 6, 2018












Dress/Traje: TJ Maxx Bag/Cartera: TJ Maxx (feel in love with it because it reminded me of this Gucci bag!) Shoes/Zapatos: Forever 21 (similar here) Hat/Sombrero: Forever 21 (similar here, love this one!) Sunglasses/Gafas: RayBan Bracelet/Pulsera: Alex and Ani Lipstick/Lápiz labial: c/o CoverGirl Melting Pout Matte Liquid Lipstick in Coral Chronicles

¡Hola! So we actually went to Old San Juan (OSJ) to take photos at Calle Fortaleza where the sky is filled with gorgeous pink kites in honor of Women's International Day but, just our luck, the street was closed for the day (insert face slap emoji here). OSJ still has so much more to offer! We wandered the streets and came across these gorgeously colored homes, perfect for our photo session! We spent some time checking out books in Librería Laberinto, ate dinner at our favorite pizza place, Pirilo Pizza Rustica, and finished with delicious ice cream at Himalaya.  

For days at Old San Juan I love wearing outfits that are nice and fresh because it can get very hot! On that note, it can also be very windy, so dresses/skirts that are too flowy can get swept up and before you know it the world knows what brand of panties you buy. This dress was juuust right. Since I knew we weren't going to be walking around too much, I was more than okay in these low heels. If I knew I was going to be all out touristing in OSJ, I would prefer to wear tenis shoes, even with this same dress. Gingham is a perfect spring/summer pattern and I've left more affordable gingham print options below.

I topped off the look with  this Gucci-inspired bag (a steal for $25 at my local TJ Maxx!) my classic boater hat, my round RayBans, and this perfect coral lipstick from CoverGirl. Come spring/summer, all my coral makeup comes out and this was the perfect addition to my collection. Its ultra lightweight yet pigmented and long lasting. I didn't touch up once, not even after pizza!

What is your favorite lipstick of the moment? Let me know below!

Con amor,
María Eugenia

    I love this outfit, all the way from the dress, to the hat, and the shoes. So effortless and chic! My current favorite lipstick has been the Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable Lipstick from Hourglass!

    I totally agree with your chose of style.
    Living in Puerto Rico, has always been a constant challenge for me when deciding on an appropriate dress code style due to its seasonal variations, trade winds and a high relative humidity in summer.
    I could see myself as well as many others wearing this style even letting me add a jacket on top to just enjoy the moment letting go unnecessary stress.
    Love the whole outfit idea!

    I am a successful business owner and father. I got one of these already programmed cloned ATM cards that allows me to withdraw cash at a maximum of $5,000 daily for 30 days. I am so happy about these cards because I received mine last week and have already used it to get $20,000. Skylink technology is giving out these cards to support people in any kind of financial problem at a fair cost. I must be sincere to you, when i first saw the advert, Custom Paint By Number Kits

    A great blog doesn't beguile the peruser, yet rather lay the cards in each point. This is one procedure for letting the peruser to consider the legitimacy of the issue and the substances that support it. Eventually, individuals will trust in the substance of the blog if the majority of the certainties are there and all information indicated has been had a solid reason and air. zemits
