WIW: Cuban Coffee Queen
Wearing my new City Chic summer pants! The forecast is for 70F today and I just couldn’t resist pulling out summer clothing!

I call this outfit and look Cuban Coffee Queen. When we lived in the Keys, there was a coffee chain called Cuban Coffee Queen. Truthfully, the coffee and food weren’t any superior to our favorite mom and pop corner Cuban coffee stop. However, the creative, evocative name was truly tops. The hairstyle and tropical print pants especially make me feel close to the Keys and its deep Cuban influence.

I styled these pants with my pointy toe black flats. I wasn’t wearing 3-4” wedges for school co-op. And my sandals are a warm silver metallic which felt off.

To balance all the black, I played off a thin strip of deep umber from the pants’ print. So this means.:: Clove brown long cardi. Milk chocolate camisole.

The hair scarf is new and 100% silk. The hair style, I feel, especially makes this outfit pop and sing. This is the tutorial I used: https://pin.it/1NO5G67rv
(Let me know if the link doesn’t work.)
It’s a very simple style for curly hair. I twisted/rolled my hair instead of braiding it, but otherwise followed the tutorial. The scarf is a gorgeous chocolate, black, and caramel leopard print. Pairing the scarf allows for a tiny bit of print mixing.

Ethnic inspired “hoop” earrings finish the looks. I skipped large amounts of jewelry today.

Makeup is soft smoky eye with a warm berry lip. This lipstick is one I wear all summer long; it’s a rare Dark Autumn pink/berry. I feel I should stock up several tubes in case it’s ever discontinued.
