La Tricolor
No matter what social media you follow me on you must have come by the fun fact that I am Ecuadorian. Being an immigrant in the USA I have always had an internal struggle of identifying my Ecuadorian and my American side. Always trying to find where the Ecuadorian line begins and the American ends. As the years sneak up on me I have come to realize that it is not necessary. I’ve come to understand that I can love being Ecuadorian-American. On that note I think subconsciously I wanted to display that more then ever in my outfit. I’m wearing the primary colors that my home country displays on the flag and the colors the country I was raised in proudly represent. It might have been the same subconscious and indirect way I want to remind Donald Trump and those who ignorantly follow him and believe in his anti immigrant views that we are Americans too.
Creo que muchos latino americanos en los Estados Unidos que han sido criados en este país han tenido la misma dificultadad de poder indentificarse correctamente como yo. Hemos tenido que saber representar bien el país de donde hemos inmigrado o hemos nacido y el país en el que hemos sido criados. Y como dicen que los años son sabiduría y aunque apenas llevo pocos me he dado cuenta que no es necesario tener que escoger el uno o el otro. Con todo lo que hemos visto en la prensa o leído en el periódico con el personaje que es Donald Trump creo que me he vestido representado la tricolor de mi país de origen al igual del país en la que crecido. Que vía el amarillo, azul y rojo! Que viva el rojo, blanco y azul!
By the way Rebdolls is taking over my closet. How adorable is this crop top?! It’s from the blogger GarnerStyle collection. It fits me right where my jeans hit.
