WHITE 🤍 mostly summer color😊⠀
⠀⠀
For several seasons, mono-looks have been in top trends. I’m sure, you like wear white clothes at hot season, as me. ⠀
Lets talk about universal secrets of creating monochromatic outfit: ⠀
⠀⠀
- Texture⠀
⠀⠀
The texture always saves the outfit. We pay attention to different fabrics and shapes so it won’t make look boring.⠀
⠀⠀
- Shades of color⠀
⠀⠀
So that the image does not dazzle, it is better to collect it from the shades of the main color. For example, for a white mono-look, so that the image is not full of yellow and white shades, choose a presenter (for example, warm white), and cold white will be an accent to it and will harmoniously collect the image.⠀
⠀⠀
- Bright accent⠀
⠀⠀
We take a bright color, introduce it into the outfit, but it’s better don’t put it too far from each other (otherwise it cut your look). For example, a bright hair band and a bag or a bracelet and a bag. But a scarf around the neck and shoes will look too far from each other.⠀
⠀⠀
Which mono-look color did you try this summer?

What Is Colour Psychology in Fashion?❤️🧡💛💙⠀
⠀⠀
It is known that color affects our emotions and even the attitude of other people towards us.⠀
⠀⠀
All of us are introduced to the concept of color psychology as soon as we step into the world. We watch videos on Instagram where people reveal their baby’s s*x with colors. ⠀

Also, it helps in your adult life too. You may build a better impression during your interview when dress up in formal business color like blue or black. ⠀
In another day, you wants to show your romantic side at your first date so you may be in pinky or beige. ⠀
Or probably you just want to make your mood better so you’re sunny yellow today. ⠀

⠀⠀
👀One more tip: color to your advantage. It is better to wear “your” colors on the face that suit your color type. They will make your face radiant and fresh. Plus, don’t forget about right color association you wanna have.⠀

Mistakes in choosing jewelry👇🏻⠀
⠀⠀
Accessories add sparkle to your outfit. Let's talk about when jewelry take points from your look.⠀
⠀⠀
1️⃣MISTAKE - Wearing several massive jewelry at the same time!⠀
⠀⠀
You shouldn't combine several massive and very different style accessories together. Example, multiple massive rings on one hand. Also, do not combine sophisticated earrings with massive necklaces or choker. When choosing a large piece of jewelry, I suggest to stick to minimalism or condescending in size.⠀
⠀⠀
2️⃣MISTAKE - Cut length = Chain length.⠀
⠀⠀
Forget the need to adjust the length of the chain to the neckline, and you can also safely choose several different chains of different lengths with accent pendants or different metals.⠀
⠀⠀
3️⃣MISTAKE - Do not combine different shades of jewelry ⠀
⠀⠀
Forget about the prohibition of combining jewelry of different shades of metal. Today, brands make their own collections where they combine different colors. However, it is better to choose jewelry of the similar style, shape and texture. For example, you choose a set of rings of the same style, but different shades. A bracelet made of different metals can be the “connecting element” of the whole image.

China's mysterious FASHION 🇨🇳⠀
⠀⠀
When we think about Chinese style, images of dragons, gold, an abundance of red and traditional costumes immediately come to mind.⠀
⠀⠀
But in modern China, fashion is so diverse and varies so much from region to region that it’s difficult to describe the Chinese style uniformly.⠀
⠀⠀
For example, at important events or celebrating the Chinese New Year, you can see Chinese women in traditional tsipao or their modern variations.⠀
⠀⠀
But there are still some guidelines for everyday modern fashion:⠀
⠀⠀
• Femininity and retro⠀
⠀⠀
A Chinese woman is not afraid to show herself in a delicate feminine dress. For example, it can be a dress of a flying silhouette in pastel colors with frills or flounces. Retro style dresses are also very popular.⠀
⠀⠀
• Short skirts and shorts⠀
⠀⠀
Chinese women like to wear skirts and shorts that visually emphasize their legs, but showing a deep neckline or a strongly open belly is considered provocative.⠀
⠀⠀
• Hats⠀
⠀⠀
I have never seen so many hats, especially berets and panama hats, as in China. Chinese women love to add bright accents to images. As for the berets, they can be seen more often in China than in France. Moreover, hats are not removed indoors and at work.⠀
⠀⠀
• Sports style and sneakers⠀
⠀⠀
Many Chinese women prefer comfort in their everyday life and can often be seen sporting and sporty chic. Sports shoes, especially white sneakers, are must have in Chinese woman's wardrobe. Many girls only wear heels on special occasions, so I recommend checking out the street style of Shanghai - I'm sure you’ll find many interesting variations with sneakers there.⠀
⠀⠀
• Feminine formal⠀
⠀⠀
As for the office fashion, the unis*x and oversized suit, popular in Europe, is inferior to the feminine variation of power dressing in China. You will see a European-like, laconic cut and restrained shades, but also feminine elements will be added to the image.⠀
⠀⠀
• Responsible fashion⠀
⠀⠀
China is one of the largest countries in terms of clothing consumption.

Recently I have been living non-stop. Every minute of my schedule was packed so returning home by midnight is considered "early" for me. I had 5 hours to sleep, and in the morning dozens of unread messages are waiting for me.⠀
⠀⠀
In addition, there are no longer any problems with traveling in China within the country, so my schedule was spread over several cities.⠀
⠀⠀
The previous dream of frequent travel got replaced by a slight nostalgia for quarantine times and enough sleep.⠀
⠀⠀
I felt that the stone jungle was getting too tight for me. Every cell of my body strives for silence, nature and harmony. I would like to travel back in time for at least a couple of days and move to a village. I experienced such a feeling for the first time!⠀
⠀⠀
It turns out that I am not at all alone in my feelings. And my friends and I planned a little trip out of town. I quickly moved all meetings and business matters online.⠀
⠀⠀
We spent several wonderful days away from the hustle and bustle, but after I was still drawn back to the rhythm of the big city.⠀
⠀⠀
Probably, I can periodically relax in nature, but I see my development in a big city.⠀
⠀⠀
There are such sparsely populated provinces in the world as Saskatchewan in Canada or Andikythera in Greece, where the state offers tax subsidies and benefits to those who are ready to move there.⠀
⠀⠀
Would you like to live in a big city and occasionally get out into nature or conversely?

👜 SELECTION OF SUMMER BAGS 👜

Jane Birkin, since the 1960s, has «influenced» us with a love of easy, French-style summer. One of my all-time favorites is the basket bag, which a French woman could adorn with a silk scarf and wear with cocktail dresses, jeans and favorite shirts.

There is almost nothing left until the end of hot season, so rather choose a “classic” version in the Birkin style or any variation of it.

Also, do not think that this purchase is spontaneous and impractical - I assure you that next summer it will be just as relevant.

Office WEAR TABOO AT SUMMERTIME👉🏻🎠

There are several gradations of the office dress code! There is a very strict dress code, which implies not only completely covered shoulders, but also elbows. Including, it also implies a white top and a black bottom or a very dark bottom, close to black. It implies women stockings even in summer. And also not an open toe in the shoe, that is, the toes should not be visible.⠀
There are many other features: not very deep neckline, tied hair and so on.⠀

There is a medium office dress code in which we just cover the shoulders, in which we do not cut too deep a cut and observe neutral tones. Lighter top and lighter bottom are desirable, but not necessary! We just style the hair, not very bright makeup and the sock can sometimes be opened!⠀

And there is simply an office or office context when we come to work, in which there should be no jeans or cropped shorts, deep necklines and open shoulders. But in general, just a more discreet version of your usual everyday style.⠀

Today I will show you the perfect examples of summer office not strict, medium and strict dress code.⠀

1. THINGS WITHOUT AN ACTIVE PRINT (you can strip, check, light peas);⠀
2. NEUTRAL SHADES⠀
3. INTERESTING CUT⠀
4. PLAYING WITH TEXTURES⠀
5. WORKING WITH STRUCTURED THINGS⠀
6. OVERSIZE⠀
7. NON-STANDARD LENGTH OF THINGS⠀

Pay attention to these brands:⠀

FALSE FRIENDS OF BASIC WARDROBE 🙅🏼‍♀️

Admit, who bought basic clothes on the SALE?

I remember seeing basic shoes in Zara at a completely ridiculous price - well, they beckon! And next to them I see the same, but only in a different color. Of course I take two pairs! Common, base clothes are never too much - I told myself before.

As a result, my closet was full of the same shoes and clothes.🤦🏼‍♀️

Here are a couple of other things that "are never enough":

• Unprinted tops and T-shirts.
Many monotonous white and black tops. Clothes like that took away my inspiration when I was choosing an outfit.

• Jeans. I had a time when I did not get out of them. And I stocked up on them as if they would soon stop selling. Soon, millions of my jeans were moving into my friends' closets. Ideally, only 2-3 pairs of basic jeans are enough.

The sale, which was supposed to help save money, only created the illusion of saving.

👉🏻Could it be otherwise? Sure!

If you choose high-quality and relevant basic things that will fit your figure well.

And also if your shopping is planned in advance - the sale will save you money and turn the purchase into a profitable investment!

Share in the comments your successful and unsuccessful purchases of a basic wardrobe 👇🏻😉

Let's get to know each other better?⠀
⠀⠀
My name is Ksenia, I was born and raised in Moscow, but for 8 years I have been living in Asia and working for a French fashion brand.⠀
⠀⠀
Since childhood, I was interested in fashion and was that girl who experiments with mother's clothes🤪⠀
⠀⠀
I managed to visit more than 38 countries and every time I come inspired by new fashion projects. This is how this blog was born😇⠀
⠀⠀
Here I show how you can create your own style using a base, without crazy fashion experiments, and how to create a stylish, memorable image, and not just a set of the latest trends.⠀
⠀⠀
Now tell where are you from? How did you find my blog? What topics do you want to see more often? 👇🏻😌

A new working routine begins, and mid-July is more likely to beckon for new travels. While travel and flights are paused, we can travel through cinema. 🍿⠀
I chose 5 romantic films that will brighten up yours every workdays.⠀
⠀⠀
🏻Monday - A good year (2006)⠀
⠀⠀
The film is about how the bigwigs of the London Stock Exchange inherits a winery in Provence and finds himself there. A great option for escape from working days, isn’t it?⠀
⠀⠀
🏻Tuesday - Parisian (1957)⠀
⠀⠀
Oh, Tuesday ... The weekend seems so far away, so why not add some Parisian lightness? No one speaks with such wonderful humor about life and love than the heroine of the young Brigitte Bardot and all this on background of “that beautiful Paris”.⠀
⠀⠀
🏻Wednesday - The Tourist (2010)⠀
⠀⠀
You will not see such a beautiful Venice as in this film anywhere. The city is a full-fledged character here, like the heroine of Angelina Jolie and the elusive criminal played by Johnny Depp.⠀
⠀⠀
🏻Thursday - Roman Holiday (1953)⠀
⠀⠀
If you have never been to Rome, then rather get lost in the streets with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. They will give you few interesting ideas for an aperol spritz time or how to have fun on Thursday evening.⠀
⠀⠀
🏻Friday - Love Actually (2003)⠀
⠀⠀
Well, you can't do without this film.⠀
The story begins and ends at London Heathrow Airport, where a voice-over states that "love is indeed everywhere." And I believe him at the end.. The most beautiful weekend mood movie 🍿

Hooked the summer!

Crocheted clothes, from dresses to swimwear, are on the top of must-to-buy list this summer. Crochet triumphantly returned to us.

So you can easily sunbathe in a white knitted tunic like Jane Birkin in the movie "Pool". For new experiments in the style of the 1970s, you can try a cropped crochet top with a high-waist skirt. It will be fun hot and very summer.

The fantasy of designers allow us to wear crochets even in the office, for example, combining it with a shirt or choosing it as an accessory in this style. Alternatively, you can try to wear crochets casually as an eye catching element like me at Saturday’s brunch.
