This spring/summer is full of colors, expressions, mix and matches, a remix of all things past, which is what fashion always is, but this season do not fear to take some risks. Anything goes and a pure individualistic ensemble is better than any mannequin. Personally, I have been favoring all things gypsy, hippie, island, retro and rocker.
Being classically beautiful is always the best trend to use for guidelines if ever in doubt. The first half of the 20th century is a fantastic place to look for inspiration, the pearls, the gloves, the hair, and the put together in a most effortless way encourages me to remember that first impressions count
As a free spirit, a self-proclaimed flower child, it can be difficult to find the motivation to dress. All the stigma, prejudice and history that comes with dressing to impress, always looking nice, is drowned by the joy I find in being presentable and helping others feel good about how they look. No matter how hard we want to believe that appearances do not matter, they do. Within the first seven seconds of encountering another, we form an opinion, a first impression, and how we are dressed contributes greatly to this. If this is not the only reason an individual might desire to look lovely, there is always the idea that the way you are dressed, the way you feel, will mirror the way your mood appears to others, and what kind of person you are and want to be. For me, dressing simply feels good.
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”- Marilyn Monroe
