So do any of you remember all those FAQ's you lovely readers submitted? Of course you don't remember, it has been SO long since then! I'm so so soooo sorry I didn't get to answer your questions until now! But anyway, here are my answers (finally):
What is fashion like in Panama versus the U.S.A.?
Well, my only experience with U.S. fashion was my two years of college in Towson, Maryland during 2009 and 2010. From what I could see, the average American likes to be comfortable in what he/she wears. I could see that Americans would wear a lot of jeans, cardigans, and wedges/flats.
Here in Panama, women (in general) like to dress up and always look their best. Yes, most Panamanians wear jeans just like Americans do, but they like to dress it up with high heels, nice blouses, and chic accessories. Fashion is so accessible here that women from all brackgrounds can dress nicely.
In Panama however, there are certain items that are not quite common like tights and hats. So whenever I wear these items, I get lots and lots of stares! (Sometimes good ones, sometimes bad ones... haha).

Where do you get the inspiration for your colorful outfits?
I
think the main reason why I wear so much color is because I'm a very
positive, cheerful, and upbeat person. So wearing color just seems
natural to me! I do however get a lot of inspiration from fellow
bloggers ;)
What's your favorite color to wear?
Out of all the colors, I feel that I look best in green. But for some reason, I don't wear green that often. I would say that I most often wear white mixed with some other bright color.
How do you decide which pieces to splurge on versus save?
Most of my clothes (probably like 95%) is very very affordable. I find that a good rule of thumb is to splurge when it comes to classic pieces that never go out of style such as a little black dress, a black blazer, a white collar shirt, a pair of black and/or nude pumps, etc. Those pieces will always be considered fashionable, so it is worth getting quality. On the other hand, I usually buy more economical pieces when it comes to trends that come and go.
Thanks for all the great questions guys!
