The b...Dear Sunni, thank you for your kind comment! The blue dress is definitely a stunner. <br />I don't know whether you went through some of my old posts, but if you do, you'll see that I dressed very differently just 5 years ago. Prior to this blog, I also wore jeans for a few years and almost stopped wearing skirts and dresses (which I used to love as a young woman). Then for a while, in 2012-2013 I discovered style bloggers and watched all those other women wearing beautiful clothes, and admired them. I felt so inspired and moved by them that gradually started experimenting with my wardrobe, and one of the first things to me was color! I added colorful jeans and sweaters and just mixed and matched them. Colors bring so much joy to our soul, they have power to change our mood in the direction that we want, and therefore change our life. <br /><br />So today, if anyone asks for my advice, I say this. Don't overthink it, just dive in, play and have fun with it. I make "mistakes" all the time - so what? There is no fashion police. I play and learn. I just know that you will find your way to dress more creatively because this is what your soul is longing for. Our soul always finds the way to do what it needs to be done. Don't worry about it. All the very best wishes on your journey!Natalia Lialinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07552652475347261756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759460753738753423.post-86931547016938938122018-08-17T03:40:14.776-07:002018-08-17T03:40:14.776-07:00lovely post, such a lot of beautiful outfits, inte...lovely post, such a lot of beautiful outfits, interesting details and real life!.
