Growing up in Pico Union & South Central L.A., I always had to be aware of my surroundings.
Little did I know my neighbor was influencing everything I wore.
From my Gold Virgen Hoop Earrings, my daily makeup & all the way down to my Nike Cortez!
Hoop Earrings and winged eyeliner were signs of pride! The Bigger the Hoops, the badder the wing, the more you didn't get messed with.
Back in the day, riding around on the RTD, didnt give you much protection.You always had to be dressed down.
And we didnt have all these cool colors, like we do now! But it didnt stop us from sporting all our stilo! Shopping at all the local swapmeets was were our stilo started!
We are a reflection of our street style, cultura, our neighborhoods, our daily rituals & Spiritual lifestyle.
So this is just a fun fashion post of my remixed Latina Inspired Fashion collages!
To shop our Virgen Hoop Earrings, you can find them in our Hoops Collection!
For all other fashion finds, you can find links in on my ilaments Pinterest Boards!
