I’M WEARING >> Suit: Suistudio | Boots: Calvin Klein | Bag: Gucci | Hat: Lack of Colour | Cashmere Sweater: Vintage
Once upon a time while I was in London, I posted a photo on my IG stories wearing this look and my DM’s literally exploded. I was quite surprised that of all looks I’ve worn in the past few years, this was the one that caused the biggest reaction though.
I wore this look on a day tour to Windsor Castle even if it was raining like crazy and I nearly lost my hat three times thanks to the strong wind. I was still feeling like a million bucks though. I gotta say though, that I got stared at and pointed at so many times by people, not because they knew who I was, but because they probably thought; “Why is this crazy girl wearing that to a castle tour?”. I have always been like this though, ever since I was a little girl. I used to wear quirky outfits even to the supermarket and my Mom used to ask me; “Are you wearing that? We’re only going to Wall Mart”.
I guess the point that I am trying to make -specially because I get a lot of messages form you saying that you wish you had the confidence to wear whatever you like and care a little less of what people think-, is that you should do you. The only reason why I got to this point of confidence is because despite the looks, I still wear whatever the heck I want. It’s obviously gotten easier with time and honestly, if someone laughs at my look, I couldn’t possibly care less but while growing up in a “small” city in Mexico, things were a little different.
Our style is a big reflection of our attitude and our personalities, so don’t tone that down just because you are afraid of what other people might think. If you feel like wearing a camel suit, cowboy boots and a big hat to a tour on Windsor castle, do it!
Ironically and despite all the stares, this has been one of my most popular looks on instagram. See what I mean?. As I always say; Wear what you like and like what you wear!

Wow, Looks very cool. I like this “CAMEL SUIT”. And I very agree with you “Our style is a big reflection of our attitude and our personalities, so don’t tone that down just because you are afraid of what other people might think. If you feel like wearing a camel suit, cowboy boots and a big hat to a tour on Windsor castle, do it!” I want these outfits anyhow. Can you please let me know how to have these? By the way, thanks for your awesome stuff.
Couldn’t agree more! It’s one of my Style Commandments:

I gotta say, I’d probably have stared as well : this suit looks gorgeous on you ! Really love how you’re styling menswear and tailoring pieces
Camel is such a must have in my wardrobe. I feel autumnal all the time and it’s just wonderful to have. I agree with you completely. Individuality is important and so is expressing one’s individuality. I’m loving the suit and the kindess being spread about throughout this post. x

YES!! My parents would constantly question my outfit choices and I’m just like, so what? If I like something, I’m going to wear it! Most of the time it pays off because I do get compliments when I go out and about in my more over-the-top looks! Love this look, especially the hat! ❤

I so agree and can relate to what you say! The hardest part is getting over the ‘being stared at’ but I realised that I don’t have infinite time to wear what I want; it’s now or never. Wearing what you want and like is so much more worth it than being afraid of what strangers think :)

Completely agree with the “why should you wear what you like”!
That’s why we have Boutique Moschino in our store… somewhat different :-)

I love that ❤️ And I love your style! I try to express myself everyday with a piece of clothing or accessories.. it’s my little output to the world :)
Im glad you do! It’s so sad when people tone down there style because they get bullied or stared at. Thats why I always try to encourage this, because the opinion of the haters doesn’t matter!
