A wise man recently told me, “si usted habla Inglés, Español y Chino, tiene el mundo entero en sus manos,” and our clever, chic, little friend here is well on her way to world domination with her trilingual skills. Yes friends, she speaks all three. What you say? That makes you feel dumb for barely speaking your native tongue? Sucks to be you.
But back to the girl, being smart is just one piece of the pie and lucky for Miss Thang, she’s gussied up a simple black jumper with some seriously fun accessories brought back from Barcelona. The belt is unique without being outlandish, making it virtually impossible to snap up a copy round town. It cinches in what could have been a very boring line and that turquoise collar necklace helps fill the line between neck and bust (at least I didn’t say bosom, whoops!) nicely.
La Chiquita obviously has it going on, but I’m going to channel my grandmother and say, “I wish she would do something with her hair.” She’s a cutie, so I would love if she would pull some of it off her face. Possibly a cool summer French braid? A deeper side part with a low side ponytail? Messy chignon with a few loose wavy tendrils in the front? Or if she’s married to her current style, it’s nothing that a trim and deep condition wouldn’t fix. And while I love that she’s keeping her face au naturel, a little bit of black eyeliner never hurt anyone.
Finally, I applaud this risk taker for giving us an example of black and brown playing well together. Let go of your grade school – I learned everything I know about getting dressed from Seventeen magazine – matching rules and have some fun!
Besitos,
Cristinita
