Summer is my absolute favorite season and August has always been a bittersweet month for me since it's my birthday mid-month (yay!) then I feel like it all downhill after that. I mean, the next season is called "fall" for a reason, right? Too corny, lol? Anyway, I've been really putting effort into enjoying every summer moment and have a few fun pics to share from my sizzling salsa dancing adventure last weekend.
Salsa Sunday!
I celebrated a dear friend's going away party last Sunday and what better way to celebrate than dancing?! We went to Iguana's located on West 54th St. in NYC for salsa dancing and lots of laughs. Not really in that order although some of my moves were laughable. And, I'm Puerto Rican, sheesh!
Check out the hi-low dress I wore for the occasion!
Fun dress? Check. Fancy feel? Check. Awkward pose touching gross city gate? Check.
Ahh. I love this fringe purse. I think fringe is timeless. My mom bought this purse for me like 15 years ago and I was all like "Ma, I'm not a cowgirl," in my teenage tone and she was all like, "Monica, fringe is always in style." Moms are always right. Shhhh...don't show her this post!
I laugh at this pic because I was trying to be all "bloggy posey" and SO many people were passing by and kept looking like, what is she smiling at? This is NY, no one smiles on city blocks!
So, yeah. This is me salsa dancing, flailing arms, awkward moves and all. To think, I thought I was cute! LoL. Salsa lessons, here I come. But, I have to say I was quite impressed that my dress had a certain Latin charm. Check out homegirl in the pic behind me, we're sorta twinsies, no?
Any fun adventures in dancing you'd like to share? Feel free to share in the comments below!
