Sometimes I choose the clothes not based on trends, my styling knowledge, the event format or even on the mood – but on the place! That morning I woke up with the desire to walk in a Japanese garden.
One old dream of mine is to visit Japan when the sakura blossoms. My dream still hasn’t come true, although I have a secret place where I go to fantasize about this country. This is a garden of a special beauty in the middle of which is located the house of my good friends. This is a place where Japanese traditions and interesting rituals are still respected and where the silence is holy. For me, this is the place where people and nature live in harmony.
While I was anticipating the pleasure and getting ready, my outfit spontaneously formed by itself. I wanted to be feminine and elegant. I guess these are some of the visible components of a woman’s harmony. The femininity of the look is mainly provided by the cut and the details of the blouse and skirt. The long skirt visually lengthens the legs, especially with the blouse tucked inside, creating a beautiful balance. The long sleeves of my blouse compensate the full covering of the legs. The color spectrum is also in a full harmony, the beautiful combination of blue, beige and white colors is very common in nature. Every color has a million of different shades; I always choose the shade according to my skin and hair colors.
The final changes of the look through accessories is an important part for me, while creating this look I convinced once again that the impact of the accessories on the style perception is very big. I decided to show you two different outfits, not to stop on just one look. The first one I associate with the Spanish romanticism that is trendy nowadays. The short brim straw hat, woven straw bag and massive old-fashioned earrings. My ultra-fashionable glasses add modernity and extravagance to the look. The second outfit is a classical romantic look, with Cat Eye leopard print glasses, feminine panama-hat and massive flower-earrings. The bag is the splashy accent of the entire look that attracts the attention but still doesn’t destroy the harmony of the outfit.
Inspired by the harmony of nature in this garden I have created two different feminine outfits, reminding myself, and hopefully to others about our female nature.
