Of course you couldn't leave it behind; not for that bargain price...and certainly not for all the future styling possibilities!! Your vintage carpet bag complements the pattern of the top and skirt perfectly...and the Dansko shoes are wonderfully appealing, too!!

I thought it was a dress until you explained and I was a bit confused when you said 'skirt'. These colours are so you and so gorgeous. As you know, I admire them on you and enjoy then vicariously. For some time now I have been really aware of what did not FEEL right, so it seems logical that when I figured out what I wanted to wear it was mainly about feel. Sometimes it can still be confusing though because part of me wants to feel like a creative, artistic, funky sort of person and yet when I put on clothing that could be described that way I feel like I am in a costume dressed as a funky artist. Perhaps my sartorial journey is about finding out that there is more than one way to be a creative, funky, artistic looking person, or else that I can be that person without having to look the part. If I tried to look like everything that I am it would probably be a bit of a hot mess anyhow.<br /><br />Artists and writers find their voice or their style eventually after they just keep on creating. In the process of that creating there is often lots of copying, experimenting, dabbling in a variety of styles and being influenced by others until eventually what you produce is authentically you even though it was arrived at through the influence of others. Dressing can be like that too. If you have a personal style you put your own spin on clothing. You are a really good example of that because you love to play with different styles. So there is the Natalia version of classic or the Natalia version of boho. I am waiting to see the Natalia version of punk. ;-)<br /><br />About finding the waist: I read once something about tying a string around yourself just under your ribcage and letting it slide down. The place where it rests will theoretically be the smallest place prior to the width of you hips which the string won't be able to get past. I don't see how this would work for every body shape (particularly not the so called apple shape) but there seems to be a certain logic to it. One is looking for the smallest part of the mid section. I just cannot stand any pressure against my waist and haven't been able to ever since getting pregnant. If I wear a belt loosely there is such little difference then between my waist and hips there seems no point in emphasising it. A cylinder with a belt in the middle does not become an hourglass. LOL A waist belt suits you. I am glad you found the comfortable place to put it.<br />xoxoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-2654721449879417462015-03-20T11:21:12.205-07:002015-03-20T11:21:12.205-07:00I had to look up Missoni - I'm pretty ignorant...I had to look up Missoni - I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to designers.

That is amazing! Or rather, it found you is probably more like it. I've had some funny synchronizations with clothing articles like that too. The universe must really be our friend to cause such fun little pleasures to happen. Either that or we're just good shoppers...but I tend to think it's a bit more special then that.<br />I know blogging really does help us to find our style and our voice in ways we probably couldn't with other avenues. I know for me blogging has helped me narrow down what works on my body and what doesn't. I enjoy dressing more now.<br />I've always loved your unique outfits and muted color tones and I love the confidence and zest for life you share of yourself through you blog.<br />Happy Friday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
