MY "BOYFRIEND" PANTS MIGHT JUST BE TAKING ME TO GUATEMALA

The world is truly a small place. Thanks to social media for that. Shortly after i returned from quick visit to Toronto last month, I had initially posted a photo of this outfit on my instagram page. This pair of what i call, "The Boyfriend Pants" was what i wore on my last day running errands there. I could lounge in them all day wearing a crop top or tank top with it, but it was too cold for that so i went with the sweater. Meanwhile, on instagram, I was blabbing about how the prints and texture of the pants reminded me of a traditional fabric from my hometown. While it was obvious i had my doubts about its origin, in a matter of seconds, an instagramer said she knew where they were from. Just like that!

Whaaat??

She said the prints were from Guatemala and she asked me to check out her website. Of course i totally did. She sells purses made with these very similar prints and design, but she also posts photos of Guatemala on there. I find it so fascinating how much you learn from a total stranger. When i found the pants, i was completely drawn to the prints and now i find myself day dreaming about exploring Guatemala some day soon.
