Today I want to tell you a story about how I came to my style. I hope it will help you if you, like I once did, do not understand why you are throwing money down the drain.

Now, looking at my wardrobe, I cannot believe that only five years ago, all my things were black or gray, and only occasionally slipped colored dresses or blouses, which were mostly hung on hangers. I was the one with 7 black dresses in the closet - for every day of the week.



I always bought clothes for myself intuitively, sometimes without even thinking about what to wear with this or that thing. Like it, inexpensive - we take it! Black has always been my favorite. As I thought then - suits everyone, slims, easy to combine. Now I understand that I was just trying to be invisible. I watched a YouTube video about fashion and style, and for me it was something beyond my reach. Where in my small town can I get such things, and how to combine them?

When I was going to the Emirates, I began to think that it was time to change something in my wardrobe. The wind of change whispered to me - it's time.



As a result, planning to leave for at least six months or a year, I took with me only one pair of jeans, several T-shirts, a swimsuit and two windbreakers. Yes, when the other girls are picking up a bunch of swimwear, I took the windbreakers. It was with such a simple baggage that I began the path to finding my own style.



I was incredibly lucky, I met very bright and interesting people who inspire me to try new things, develop and broaden my horizons. Over time, I acquired more and more new things.



Sometimes it was just brilliant shopping - a dress that fits all my shoes, matches any bags, that can be combined with a few more things. But sometimes it was a failure. The top did not want to be combined with either skirts or jeans, and was just lying around. I didn't understand what the problem was, and constantly looked for answers on the Internet, and also spent all my weekends in fitting rooms.

Seeing my passion for fashion and shopping, my husband could not resist and offered me to try myself in the role of a shopper, especially since I always liked to look for interesting things for a penny. At first this thought seemed absurd to me. Who? I AM? Funny! But the seed was planted. The longer I thought about it, the more my desire flared up to try myself as a stylist. In addition, my husband is a photographer; quite often I helped with the stylization of the shooting.



This is how the path to my style and search for myself began. Still, what we wear is a reflection of the inner state. I cannot say that it is over, because I believe that style is something that changes with us, with our attitude.



Now color has settled in my closet, and I love to use accessories in the image. Sneakers are a must have, I wear them with everything: jeans, skirts, dresses. Comfort is my priority. But the dresses have noticeably diminished, and, in principle, my wardrobe is much more modest, but all the things are perfectly combined with each other, and at the exit I have a lot more different outfits.



As it turned out, wherever you live, and no matter how much you earn, you can dress beautifully and stylishly. The main thing is to understand what adorns you, and to approach the shopping process rationally.

You don't need to buy everything. Don't be fooled by "discounts". Just because a skirt fits perfectly on another girl doesn't mean it will suit you too. Always try on a thing, and if you cannot understand whether it suits you, whether it emphasizes your merits, then try to take a photo and look at yourself from the outside. It is always worth considering along the way with what you can wear this or that thing, how many sets you can make with it.



Well, if it so happens that you have already bought the "unsuccessful" skirt, you do not need to keep it. Give it to a friend, mom, daughter, or sell. Someone will need it more.

I hope my story was interesting and instructive for you, and now, when you go shopping, you will treat buying things as an investment in your wardrobe.
