More pictures with this skirt will be here |
Last spring, when I first started uploading my "WIWT" pics at Tagbrand I even could not imagine that this game would last for so long! And looking at my first photos I can tell how much this fashion craziness changed me and my habits! I never wore bright colors, always tried to dress really conservative and plain. I had no skirt in my wardrobe for over 10 years! And this week I decided to make a little skirt fashion show: five days in a row I wore different skirts! And today I discovered that I have one more fall/winter season skirt to show! Wow! Tom-boy turned into a girl! It took me only 40 years to do that! :)))

Color Inspiration 21
Back to boots! First I have to put away all open toe shoes, now I'm wearing woolen sweaters that replaced silk tops on my hangers... Can not say that I'm happy about that... Ten years ago I married a man from Arizona, thinking that I would never have to deal with snow and fur coats - I had enough of all that in my Siberian childhood.
And now I'm in Iowa... First three years were not bad, but last winter: long and cold - I'm really scared about next one.
But so far I was lucky and had a chance to mix some summer items in my fall outfits. . ![]() |
Couple posts ago I mentioned this top from Ann Taylor in my wish list! Now it's mine! And in this outfit I finally tried the trend everyone has been doing all spring and summer: mixing prints. My version is really modest: small dots and small same color flowers! But I did it! Maybe next time I try something more risky and complicated? |

Style never equals Fashion to me. I feel it, but I could never describe it just with couple words. Everybody understand what fashion or style means in general, but when you ask what is the difference you hear long pause before the answers, if you even get one.

Photoprint
More looks with this top at Facebook |
I love photoprint! I think photoprint trend on clothes never goes away. Sometimes it just becomes more pronounced. But almost every year and every season I can find something with photoprint in one or two runway shows. And of course I'm a big fan of Mary Katarntzou, who basically made her name on that!

Color Inspiration 20
Since I've started a new hundred of my color inspiration series, I decided to change the frame. What do you think of it? Is it too much and I should be more modest? Well, I see people pinning my pictures and at least they will know where they came from! After I read some advice for beginners (who I am) I added watermark to photos. It's not like somebody is trying to steal my photos (believe me, I would be the proudest person in the world), but just in case....

Maxi crochet skirt
At Facebook group - an awesome community if really talented ladies - I promised to finish and show my new project! I probably would never finish this big skirt without their support and inspiration! And here I am!
I love crocheting! I really enjoy looking at crochet items, but only 10% of what I see I would wear myself. I mean kids' or home decorating items always looks great, cute, funny. I'm talking women's clothes. And even nowadays when it's super trendy and every designer includs crochet outfits in his runway shows, I'm still really cautious making crochet clothes for myself and wearing it. Crochet patterns and texture is so reach and busy by itself that usually it requires all other items of your outfit to follow it, so you build your look around them, adjusting your style to peasant/country, hippy or "artistic freak". I still do not know how to describe my own style, but it's non of mentioned above.

Color Inspiration #19
Today I finished my Friday "color inspiration" photo and it was #100? Did I really made one hundred color mixes? I will take a break and double check it... You can help me to count (I will add links to previous CI in the bottom of next page). Wow!
How I's started? I was following some color scheme boards on Pinterest, sometimes trying to repeat my favorite colors in my outfits. And this summer I decided to make my own!

Sleeveless top-sweater-vest.
I feel like I need to confess again. This time in my love to sleeveless sweaters or vests or knitted tops... I can not find the right term for it, but I hope you know what I mean. I looked at my wardrobe (and my virtual wardrobe too) and realized I have tons of different color knitted vests.
Sometimes I wear them as a top under jackets or cardigans, sometimes I layer them with blouses, shirts or regular sweaters. It's always like 'buy one - get one free' deal!

Chequered top and joggers by TopShop
My first outfit with this set. Accent on purple. |
My top and joggers from TopShop were sold as separates but it's obvious that they were made to wear togethear. Well, top can be always worn with pair of jeans, but what about joggers? Should I even put them in my shopping bag? This pants are something completely different from my regular style. Not just color and pattern, but relaxed, really casual fit, I do not wear often, and hardly have any clothes to go with that.

T$T #4

I realized that I feel a million times better if I have a new package in the mail! It gives me excitement and expectations.
I track it every morning and several times during the day. Then I run to my mail box, I tear all the wrapping apart, like kids on Christmas morning. I try it on!!!! I jump up to the ceiling if it fits and I like it. I get mad if I have to return it... But next minute I go back on-line and look for something new. :)

I'm NOT a fashion blogger

Following fashion for lots of people means to wear all the latest trends and throw away everything that was trendy last season. Well, I'm trying not to buy something that is super trendy, and looks ugly and uncomfortable, something that I will not be able to wear once the fashion season is over.
Did not you notice that some clothes or shoes have date of issue written all over them? Well, I'm not ideal and sometimes I buy such items, so people with good memory can say what year they were made... But most of my clothes, shoes and accessories lives more than one season. I love rounded toe, platform, classic shape heels and I do not care what is trendy now. I like certain size and shape purses, I'm not a big fan of jewelries but love scarves...

Crochets Projects Part #1
I used to do lots of crocheting, before I started working and of course before I started my daily "Fashion Shows". So now I think that I need to cut down time I spent on showing clothes made by somebody else to make my own stuff. And coming winter looks like a good time to do that.
I stocked up on yarn long ago, so I have enough thread for next 5 winters, I just need to kick myself and start crocheting again!

Now I probably spend much more than I actually make. It's just hard to change your spending habits when you got used to a different style and speed of life. I just hate wearing polyester and acrylic from local stores and flat shoes!!! I need heels, and expensive fabric to feel good!
Leaving in a small town does not give you many options to dress up. I already look ridiculously overdressed when all people around you wear super casual stuff until they drive to nearest city, so nobody just walk down the street in heels and business jackets!
And of course working in a small town cuts your paycheck several times... So... You can consider my job as an entertainment, as a hobby (because I do like to work and I do not mean work around the house - this one I HATE), and going to work for me is a reason to dress up and do my morning FASHION SHOW!

I'm wearing: Top: Jacket: Trousers: Shoes: Purse: |
Should I even call it color inspiration? This week I tried to wear colors and styles I used to have in my "previous life".
Conservative and reserved, above time and fashion, to fit any office dress-code. And since I had hardly any time outside of work, my most casual outfit was something I could wear on Friday or Saturday, which I usually spent in office also.
Some of the items I wore last week I even brought to US in my suitcase!

British Sailor or Mary Poppins
I just want to wrap myself into worm cozy sweaters and stay in bed with huge cup of coffee and funny movie! But I have to get up and go to work, into the rain and cold.
And first moment I open my umbrella I felt like Mary Poppins. I do not know why, but umbrellas always make me to think about this book and movie!

Color Inspiration 14

Cold weather puts me in desaturate and dark color mood. And you can tell looking at this week photos how weather changed from summer to cold, gloomy fall. I'm trying to add splash of brightness in my outfits, but now I'm always making an effort to put on pink shoes instead of black...
Maybe it's just time to re-evaluate my color habits. Subtle and deep hues will be trendy this fall and it's a game and challenge to work with this palette. We will see how it's gonna work for me and my weekly topic.

European Car show with a European woman...
As for me, you know how much I'm interested in cars: I like them only if they match my shoes or purse... Ok, at least if they go good with my belt color! So I went there mostly to show myself. And as European woman of course I wore classic Chanel style jacket and my WOW new heels, that got as much attention as some antique cars (maybe even more).
I'm paying today for my weekend fashion show with a huge blister on my foot, but still feel no sorrow for walking couple miles in heels up and down hills!
That's how I roll!

Thought 4 the day
I'm trying to dress nicely every day, but very rare men at work say something about my outfit... It's just a huge culture difference between here and country I grew up, where every man on the way to work say a dozen compliments to different women. (Of course I'm not talking of my husband who says nice things to me every day a million times!!!)
But today I was wearing a Real Tree t-shirt and our service manager (who's the hunter as you can guess) suddenly told me that I have a great t-shirt! That was like WOW!!! The best praise I ever had from a man since I moved to US! He NOTICED me when I was wearing a CAMOUFLAGE! Isn't it a paradox?
Sudden idea came to my mind: I can collect different sayings or just thoughts that come to my mind from time to time and share them with you.So I'm making new tag T4T which is short of Thought For Today. And here is my first one.
Royal blue
I fell in love with Royal blue since I first saw it! I wanted something in this color. No matter what, just wanted to wear it. :) I think everybody has noticed already that I'm obsessed with colors and their combinations.
Of course, this hue of blue goes great with any combination of black and white or grey. I tried this combination last year. So this time I wanted to add another color ingredient, looked around and found my old heels and a leather belt from Gap. Here are more details. (You asked for mere close up looks, so I tried to add some!)
