LONG SKIRT, PULLOVER AND COAT

I always loved long skirt, for different reasons. First, are super fashion and easy to match with all. They give you a chic and classy touch. You can wear them with jeans skirt, tee, cardigan. You can see how I did it here and here. You can wear them with flats for a sporty outfit, or with heels to be smarter and look taller. Then, are useful. If you wear them with high heels you’ll obtain a slimmer figure. If you have large hips, just wearing long skirts with high waist will be useful to look slender. Just try and you won’t believe on the result! Moreover are so democratic and women friendly. Exactly what miniskirts are not. For example I spend long periods not going to the gym (you know it’s not my passion) and I always eat so much. I even though to go to an hypnotist for stop eating that much! Anyway, in these periods I do not feel really good with my body (and with my thighs), I absolutely do not feel like wearing Alessandra Ambrosio miniskirts style. I need something that makes me feel more confident, and a long skirt it’s perfect. Are even iper-feminine. They slip on you legs when you walk, and you feel like a past times dame. This feeling even makes you looking more elegant for the others, because naturally you start having graceful posture and carriage. That’s why I suggest to everyone long skirt or a dress with a long skirt even during the winter. In summertime you can wear them a lot (few example how I wore them here, here and here), but during winter they give you that chic touch that will makes you shine even more.

DONALD DUCK AND I, SINCE EVER

Since when I was a child, when I used to read Mickey Mouse, I always identified myself in Donald Duck. I’ve never suffered Mickey Mouse, always so perfect and smartass, while Donal Duck is like me: unlucky and lazy, obviously in good meaning (if this words can have a good meaning). Because, since when I was a baby,I am always be like that, in the end I do what I have to do, but always with much effort, because my nature is to be lazy, so lazy. I know that when I go out I’ll have fun and it will be worthwhile, but the idea of staying in my bed wearing my pajamas eating chips it’s so strong. And when I found a bit of time for doing nothing there is always someone (Save or my mum) that force me to do something reclutantly, like poor Donald Duck, tyrannize by Scrooge McDuck that always force him working for paying his debts, or by Daisy Duck that always ask him move furnitures (why that girl/duck has always to change the position of the furniture?). Another Donal Duck bad luck is to always have his cousin Gladstone Gander, the perfect lucky braggart, that always go in the proper way to him, and even makes waves about it. I can’t tell you how many Gladstone Gander I know, that I try to avoid and I always meet. Small bad luck, like his ones, happen to me. The only difference it’s that I don’t slip on a banana, but I fell from heels, and instead of a vase on my head, I always snag my tights while I am wearing it, I put my phone in the bag with keys, if I have an opportunity in the majority of cases go bad. I have one last thing in common with Donald Duck: I am like him, I never give up. I get mad and I do lots of noise, but after a bit everything it’s ok again and I carry on my way, not caring about what happened. I always admired him persistence and wish to have fun. Because in the life all we are a bit Donald Duck, but if we don’t surrender and we stay focused on good things around us, in the end we can see everything in a different way.

BRITISH SKIRT: ODE TO IRONY

I wanna take advantage of today’s post, in which I wear such a sober skirt, for write an ode to irony. Even more the self-irony. Everyone know that life it’s amazing, but even difficult. Every morning we wake up and we don’t know what could happen during the day. Surely we’ll have to afford small and big challenges, maybe we will meet new people, we will have to use our skills (and often our patience). We can win or lose and all depends from circumstances that we can not plan before. Maybe we go to an exam well prepared and the tester ask us the only thing we don’t know, we have a job interview and you are super confident, but someone with connections get the job, we prepare muffin and they do not rise (well if it all happen during the same day maybe you need a voodoo ritual!). So what can save us if not the self-irony? Who is ironic never lose, taking himself not to seriously knows that good and bad things can happen, but he found a reason for it. Who is to self confident and sure to be the best one surely will be disappointed many times, with great fun from the others. The irony makes our life easier and makes us winner. I am sure that stumble in a dip wearing high heels in via Montenapoleone during the Fashion Week it’s not nice, but if we laugh about it, it won’t appear that bad and the witnesses won’t remember about the fact, but about our great reaction. And if we score C and not A+ during an exam, we should just laugh about our unlucky we are not tell everyone that the examiner did his work wrong, there are more important things than a mark. Because the unlucky are deeply the most pleasant, and a positive karma always helps. In the life the best accessories is our smile, because it keep the attention, and even if we’ve chosen the wrong outfit no one will see it.

LEATHER JACKET AND LONG DRESS

We all know: fashion fades, only style remain the same. Often the most famous sentences are even true. I have to admit that my mum has reason, never throw away something. It’s a great precept. She is blowing the dust off all her original pointed shoes, to Valentino rock stud’s face. I, like everyone else, change my taste easily, now I find myself wearing clothes seen on magazines that few times ago I would have never wore even under torture. For example the 80′s, glorious years, in which the nowadays fashion is born, times in which the fashion designers changed their role from tailors to real stars, the years in which Madonna introduced the young Dolce&Gabbana to all the world. Till few times ago I used to see the 80′s like something ridiculous, a kind of mistake that has to be avoided again. And I was one of the most sure about that. Than, one day, you start seeing studded jackets, studs, bodices, sweater with neon prints, leather gloves, blazers with shoulder pads, eyebrows everyday bigger, and visible socks everywhere. And what about leg gins, always more reflecting and fluo? Now I ask myself if the 80′s where that bad. I am always be a 50′s and 70′s lover, I see with different eyes that decade that for me was an abomination. I can’t do without boy-friend jeans, I wear socks with any kind of shoes, I made my eyebrow thicker. And I love it! Surely I don’t wanna be like Carrie in the first years in New York, but few influences from that period totally conquered me. What have I learnt from this? Never say never Melissa, the time goes, the fashion fades, but everything come back. I think the fashion is at a focal point, now like never before we can follow different trends, but we can made our own style. We can choose what makes us feeling ease, without strong precepts. This is the goal of the fashion, suggesting us trends but leaving everyone the opportunity to experiment and find out his own style. For me fashion is a game, I love to evolve and change, today I am so eighties, tomorrow who knows.
