What’s the story,

Morning fashion? How often do you get out of the comfort zone? How often do you move your style forward? I must confess I often keep mental track of top-to-bottom looks that work wonderfully for me. This keeps me from scanning anxiously my closet in the morning, especially on Monday mornings. They are signatures of my style, but I can’t say that my outfits are repetitive, I always change something, a shot of colour, the nice flats or the sculpted heels, playing with the white shirt, a corset on top, its sleeves rolled up or a black lace necklace, reinvention is the word. And sometimes I love to push the boundaries and leave the classic of the classics for the marker of the season. But I still try to do my own thing. This week’s chic file: featuring myself. I wish you all an inspiring week!

Fiecare are un stil propriu sau cel putin incearca sa si-l creeze intr-un fel sau altul. Intrebarea este cat de des iesiti din zona de confort? Cat de des incercati ceva nou? Eu recunosc ca exista anumite tinute pe care le am fixate in minte, tinute din cap pana-n picioare care stiu ca imi vin de minune si in care tot timpul ma simt foarte bine si la care apelez de fiecare data cand simt ca ma panichez in fata sifonierului, de cele mai multe ori luni dimineata. Sunt semnaturi ale stilului meu vestimentar, nu pot spune ca sunt repetitive, de fiecare data schimb ceva, o pata de culoare, pantofi cu toc sau talpa joasa, camasa alba fie cu un corset peste, fie cu manecile suflecate, fie cu un colier din dantela neagra, reinventare este cuvantul. Si cateodata imi place sa imping limitele si sa renunt la clasicul nemuritor pentru piesa de rezistenta a sezonului, oricat de indrazneata ar fi. Dar incercand in continuare sa-mi pastrez acel ceva caracteristic. Va doresc o saptamana minunata si plina de inspiratie!
