Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day, which falls on Wednesday, May 5 in 2021, is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. While it is a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.

I've seen some of your ensembles. You could totally rock that hat. ;-)
I once asked someone, very dear to me and whose opinion on the matter I respected very much, whether a particular ensemble I was wearing that day was, shall we say, too much.

"Honey, there's only one fashion rule: if you're gonna wear it, have the confidence to wear it!"

Very good advice. :)
