Cuban Maracas and Mexican Sombreros

I'm slowly getting back into the mood for outfit posts.  I received this deadstock blouse as a gift from my friend at the Robot Exchange.  I'm in love with bows, tie necks, and ascots.  I bought this 1930s celluloid brooch off of Etsy last year.  It's a tiny working Cuban maraca, which has the hilarious side effect of making me want to shimmy around while wearing it.  It's the same color palette as my Mexican novelty skirt, which has little caballeros playing guitars.

  6. How absolutely delightful! I love that the tiny maraca works (amazing!) and goes so well with your skirt. I'm a sucker for anything music themed, and this is no exception. You look lovely, and it looks like it's a heckuva lot warmer wherever you are than it is here!

  8. That brooch is awesome!!! I'd be tempted to shimmy, shake, bounce, hop, prance, you name it, around if I had one like it, too. It's super cute and I'll be hunting for one like it now from here on out for my own collection.

    Fantastic outfit and colour palette to help wake up these dreary last few weeks of winter.
