I am ashamed of the way I used to dress: a confession of a stylist

Today I will share my dark unfashionable past. Attention: the owners of a delicate and refined taste are better off not looking.

About 20 years ago, it was important for me to find the very style that would make me stand out from the rest. Wonderful prints, ruffles, tights with patterns - is it obvious that this girl is not like everyone else? Yes, I considered myself a fashionista. But who did not sin in the 2000s? I think today many stars are ready to give half their kingdom for photos of their, to put it mildly, not the most successful outfits that are walking on the net.

Not everyone is born with good taste. But thank Gucci for training!

Spanish shame

Don't ask where I got this dress. Magnetic storms apparently raged desperately that day. Moreover, when I wore this "flower bed", I felt like a fashionista and a beauty. And the quilted jacket ala Chanel! I remember that those around her sincerely admired her and asked to surrender the attendance passwords where they sell the same. The white fur definitely added "luxury" to the look.

Ruffles and flounces

And cute bows to boot. By the way, the combination of shades in this look is selected according to the degradation principle. True, at that moment I did not even know about this principle. But the smile is sincere - I take pictures with a beautiful vase.

Theater, in a word!

Now, I sense, there will be a mountain of unsubscriptions, and many will completely ban my channel. Please understand and forgive. In this outfit, I went to the theater in 2001. According to my photo, you can compose an algorithm of counteractions, how not to dress (starting with tights and ending with pearls!).

"Epicrisis" to my former: an absolute misunderstanding of the principles of combining prints, shades, styles, accessories. It's been 19 years, and I look older in that photo than I do now. It was necessary to work so hard!

Yes, once in my closet, multi-colored tights and grandmother's (sometimes literally) dresses cohabited, all this flavor was seasoned with ridiculous ideas about fashion and a desire to stand out. Since then I have learned not to compare myself to others. Only with the same self. This does not mean that my current style is perfect, but I see tremendous progress. At the same time, I think that I still have something to work on. I study a lot, graduated from the Italian school of fashion and style and continue to improve my knowledge, including in practice. And I also constantly train observation.

Towards elegance

Combining only two colors, it turns out, you can be elegant. A T-shirt with shoulder pads, straight trousers with an arrow, sandals with voluminous weaving and a minimum of accessories - this is what a trendy look looks like these days. Pearls and tights with a pattern have absolutely nothing to do with it!

The power of accessories

The vest is a versatile item that I wore 20 years ago and continue to wear now. The difference is that I learned how to choose accessories correctly! The look plays in a new way thanks to glasses in a white frame, a bright bag and a scarf tied around the wrist in tune with it.

Play of colors

I still love brightness. But by combining fuchsia with fuchsia, I no longer look like the star of a country party! The secret of a successful combination is in different textures of things, in a well-chosen cut of jeans and the volume of a cardigan. If I had put on a pink tight dress and matching pumps, the outfit would have turned out to be stereotypically frivolous, especially for a blonde.

The main thing for me is not clothes or even fashion. Self-awareness. Confidence that the outfit fits and fits flawlessly. And also the desire to spin around in front of the mirror once again and make sure that the new one I myself definitely like!

Tell us, do you criticize yourself before, or do you reassure yourself, they say, “everyone used to dress like that”?
