Meet Natali Puga, a 17 year old 2nd generation Mexican American who is still totally angsty and starting college in the fall!


Dress: H&M

1. How would you describe your style?
Classic but with a twist and a penchant for 60's yé-yé girl fashion. Someone once told me I dressed like a "Marxist intellectual" and I held on to that one for a while.

2. Growing up, who or what inspired your style?
I come from a line of very strong, independent, hardworking women and without listing every lady in my family, my grandmother is a huge inspiration as to how I dress. She grew up within a tiny town in Durango, Mexico. My grandma grew up on a ranch, had tons of siblings to look after, juggled school, got married, and still managed to look chic at all times. She made most of her clothes, and while I can't sew to save my life, she engraved the "do with what you have" type attitude in me without saying a word.

Dress & belt: Gap // Cardigan: H&M // Purse: vintage

3. What current issues are you passionate about?
So many issues to be up in arms about (too many that it gives me anxiety), but since I live in Arizona, an obvious one is IMMIGRATION REFORM. Adios arpaio!
