No grey areas, just black and white ⚪️⚫️

Some basic outfits don't have to be "basic", like this basic white pants and black top outfit. The key is to accessorize properly. I love a wide leg pant since I have wide hips it actually makes them appear smaller and they balance out my broad shoulders. Plus these are high waisted which I love and perfect to pair with a crop top. I don't usually like a crop top to go out because I don't like to expose too much skin but these high waisted pants came up just high enough to show a little skin but too much where Nonna would panic lol. I wore these fun white tassel earrings to brighten up around my face and of course had to stay in theme with the lemon bag and lemon armcandy! A very simple but classic "Sicilian" / Dolce Gabbana look ;)

Figli di Fiori 🌺Hippie Party🌺

Not really a huge fan of Halloween or dressing up and I didn't think the Sicilians were either but dam was I wrong! My cousin Maurizio's friend was hosting a "Hippie" Themed party at his home in the countryside or "campagna" and he of course brought us along. I always love to do things that the "locals" do and to experience life as they do, and boy do they enjoy life! The beer bottles (they only served beer) had a custom tie dye label on it, the DJ was dressed the part, there was a VW van photo booth, and a chef serving up 50 lbs of sausage and pasta at 2 am! Everyone at the party was decked out in full hippie looks with flowers head bands, afro wigs, bell bottoms and tie died shirts. It was really fun to see everyone so into the theme and just enjoying the simple things like eating, drinking, dancing and lots of laughing <3

But when they tell you you're going to a Hippie party, you dress like the most fashionable hippie that existed in the 70's ✌️. I happened to have purchased this fun jumpsuit from Forever21 thinking it would be a great day outfit to walk around town, it was light, love the color and had a cute ruffle on the bottom. But it came to serve a better purpose, my Hippie costume, plus a few accessories of course. I tied the only scarf I happened to bring with me on the trip, around my head, wasn't your typical flower headband but a leopard headband did the trick.
