Yesterday, I ate spinach and thought of Popeye.
While I was taking a bath I was singing:
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
And I sang it like a diva! Bathrooms unleash the inner diva in all of us, don't you think? But yeah, the lyrics is pretty weird. I just realized that when I was twelve. I really love Popeye as a kid (along with Tom and Jerry) but now I can't stand a minute watching it.
I'm still thankful for Popeye though. He inspired me to eat spinach and dress with panache.
I'm not really a fan of stripes, especially the horizontal one, because I think it makes me look fat and shorter. You know the illusion and stuff. But when I saw the gold detail of this Ralph Lauren top I know I have to buy it. I admit, I tend to be an impulsive shopper sometimes. But a lot of good things came out of it already. And I count this top in.
When it comes to accessories, I'm a minimalist. I don't put on a lot of jewelries and end up looking like a Christmas tree. Proportion is a rule I don't wanna break. As you can see in this outfit, my ears and neck were bare. This mix of bangles certainly reminds me of beach and sun, that's why I opted to wear them.
That's just how my style rolls. Whatever inspires me, I channel it through what I wear. What about you? Where does your style take root?

Betzy...I was LOL when I read you were singing like a diva with the song "I'm popeye the sailor man"...you are too hilarious girl. And don't tell me you were doing it in falsetto?
Anyway, back to the outfit, I love stripes and you really look good in stripes. The white pants is a plus. Great concept.
Cute top, the gold detail makes it special, I agree.
Love your striped top!

I'm definitely a jewelry person but I don't load up on a lot of them all at one time. It's just not me, so I guess I'm more of a minimalist like you:)

i have followed your blog back.
smooch.
betz, your style gets more and more gorgeous each post. i've decided to keep my eyes on more of your cool styles so now i'm a follower of your blog ;)
i love everything that you wore. what a beautiful popeye you are! ;) the boots are very cool and the bag seems very edgy yet durable.
and p.s. you don't look fat in horizontal stripes. in fact, it looks good on you! ♥
I love the look but not so much the boots.
I am a big fan of white. it is so pristine and clean. I would just change the boots for ankles one. I think you legs would look longer and so more sleek..
keep me post it honey! un beso
Hy! Thanks for the comment!
Your outfit looks great, I love the black and white stripe blouses. They're like an it factor lately.
Anyway, to answer your question, lately I've been very inspired by Kandee Johnson, I just love her sooo much! She is such an amazing person!
