I never know what my post will be about, like I'm never sure what my outfit will be like. :)) First, I put together an outfit and go about my business. Then take pictures. Then I arrange them in a post and see if it "flows". Then I start writing, and I am sometimes very much surprised what I learn from the experience! :)Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-91366958428416349332017-01-26T15:16:45.938-08:002017-01-26T15:16:45.938-08:00I did mean people and not popes, and interesting r...I did mean people and not popes, and interesting rather than insisting, but my typos are always an interesting read, i Hope!<br />xx, ElleThe Elle Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352057220124245797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-14798331420009581032017-01-26T15:15:16.958-08:002017-01-26T15:15:16.958-08:00This is insisting Natalia .

My style as a young woman was much more elegant/streamlined/minimalistic. I do it rather well, actually - but I am not interested in it nowadays. When I look at my pictures from childhood though, I see that I mixed patterns all the time! I think it's something we do naturally, before we hear all the smart advice from some stylists. Our grandmothers have done it for centuries!<br /><br />For the last 3 or 4 years, I've been unlearning (much like you unschool your boys) many old patterns in style... as well as in life! I don't really think about it when I put my outfits together, it is all intuitive. But when I write, I deconstruct my creative process, that's just what I do in an attempt to understand myself better.<br />Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-67883942607856876642017-01-26T14:23:49.992-08:002017-01-26T14:23:49.992-08:00Thank you so much, Olga!

It felt harmonious when I put it together, to the point when I wondered to myself why I haven't done it before - it seems so natural and obvious now. But that's exactly my point - it had to be a certain journey before I was able to do it. And tomorrow, I will be able to do something I don't know how to do today.<br /><br />It's the same in any new road we take. Style, writing... life!<br /><br />You have your own unique story! You are not only passionate about fashion and style - you live and breathe it for many years, since you were a kid! And then years of professional experience, education, endless active creativity! And yes, it is still a living and breathing thing for you, every your outfit is so free! <br />Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-4129820262287886392017-01-26T14:14:10.889-08:002017-01-26T14:14:10.889-08:00Thank you again, Ivana, for ordering my book!

Sometime simplicity works for us, sometimes we need complexity. <br /><br />I love pattern mixing! That blouse is so lovey and such a great pairing with that skirt. The coat is absolutely fabulous too. I think I was always attracted to colour blocking and print and pattern mixing. I suppose I just love the visuals of it- it reminds me of painting. I love to experiment with different styles, but I think that when it comes to painting, the colours are one of the most important things for me- so it is with fashion. However, I must admit that lately I don't feel much like dressing up or having fun with clothes. <br /><br />The book I ordered didn't arrive yet, I probably should have opted for quick delivery on Amazon, but well, it is will arrive sooner or later and I'm not in any great hurry.Ivana Splithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908566377732204399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-40411670972213430132017-01-23T00:50:21.543-08:002017-01-23T00:50:21.543-08:00I love particularly that you share the process of ...I love particularly that you share the process of styling, and I understand it very well, as I've also been evoluing from a simple color scheme, trying more and more textures, prints, and proportions!.
