While I was in the process of doing some Spring cleaning, I found several tops and dresses that I hadn’t worn in over a year–mostly because I had grown bored of them and didn’t have anything to wear them with anymore. Instead of going out to buy new tops, I decided that purchasing a few basic pieces would be a better and more long-lasting way to update my wardrobe. This cute flared skater skirt was such a great purchase because it goes so well with several items that have been left forgotten in my closet. I also love that it is long enough to fit over many of my dresses, so that I can use them as tops as well. It’s incredible how many more outfits you can create when you have a couple of clothing items that are more versatile. I have to say that I’m kind of inspired to work on a future post of how to create several outfits using only a few items. You will all just have to look out for that in the near future! 

I had both a wonderful and busy weekend, and it has me super excited about what’s to come in the month of May. It was Mexican Mother’s Day on Saturday, and American Mother’s Day on Sunday. Since we celebrate both in my family, I spent the entire weekend celebrating my Mom and all of the amazing things she’s done for me over the years. My siblings and I showered her with gifts throughout the weekend, and made sure that she had enough time for rest and relaxation.

Next weekend is going to be just as busy and exciting since my little sister Ale is graduating from Scripps College. We went to the same college, and she was a first-year student my senior year. It’s amazing how fast time passes by. I’m not only amazed at how quickly she has finished college, but also at how much time has passed since I graduated myself. I’m so proud of Ale and all of her accomplishments, and I can’t wait to celebrate this special milestone in her life. 

Love,
