May 5, 2013: Sweet Señorita!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo, mis amigas! In honor of this "seems foreign and festive but really just another American excuse to booze into oblivion" holiday, I decided to bust out some flamenco girl flair!


Start of with a sassy crop top to show that those hips don't lie! Today was a little chilly, so I stuck a cami underneath; boo, my color-coordinated belly ring goes unnoticed. I wore this to our school Diwali festival, so it conveniently works for a plethora of assorted international celebrations. To avoid leaving nada to the imagination, cover up with a dainty lace cardi, also cropped. It brings the feeling of the pretty lace shawls Mexican ladies wear to church and such!


What good is a flamenco dance without a long skirt to swish yourself crazy in? I had the pleasure of seeing two different flamenco performances during my senior year Spain trip, one in a fancy restaurant and one in a genuine gypsy cave, and they were both stunning! Those ladies know how to rock the twirliest of twirly long skirts, and polka dots reign supreme, which is always a good thing!


Show off your twinkle toes! These epic wedges have a little foot bling built right in. I like that only one toe gets a ring for some funky asymmetry.


Time to go accessory loco! I picked a silver theme and just ran with it. No need to be shy with jangly bangles, stack 'em to your shoulder!...Okay, maybe not that high, bending elbows is a nice function. Even the ears get in on the fun, but still matching, so the unified look isn't too over the top with all that excitement.
