Abroad at Home

Hello everyone!

I have to say, I have been really excited to share this post, as my family and I are planning a trip to Mexico (and this dress is sure to get me in the Mexican spirit- plus I really just want to be there right now). But until then, I thought I would wear something that made me feel as though I was somewhere warm, endearing and far away.

This dress really does remind me of travel, because I actually wore this dress on my first trip to Mexico which means it’s full of really crazy memories of being totally submerged in a different culture. That was actually the first time I had been out of the country, and it was such an interesting experience. It really doesn’t matter how many movies you watch or pictures you see, because as soon as you arrive somewhere new all of your senses are enveloped into an ocean of something totally different. I find that my mind is widened by being in new places, and it definitely encourages my natural incentive to explore.

Whenever you enter into a new destination, there is something so ethereal about everything- the food, the scenery, the people and so much more. Obviously Mexico has definite differences from where I am, but even when I travel semi close to home I get that same feeling of curiosity and excitement.

I also love seeing in other cultures how normalcies for them are such a surprise to me, and visa-versa. Mexico has a sultry, ethnic, serene beauty and I can’t wait to visit there again. When I wear something that reminds me of a faraway place, I can’t help but feel like that same attitude of being on vacation is with me wherever I wear it; even when I’m still in my home town.

What places do you guys dream about visiting?
