Mix and match, fashion is fun!


ZARA skirt
DOLCE&GABBANA shirt
ASOS tights
YVES SAINT LAURENT sandals
ZARA clutch

I firmly believe that first of all fashion is fun: while we’re shopping and when we choose what to wear we gotta have fun and feel good about ourselves. Then having to tidy up the huge amount of scattered clothes in our room maybe can make us smile a bit 'less but it will always worth it! That's why I believe that with a very free and independent form of communication like fashion, you should always try and get rid of the fear of failure that brings with it a tendency to never try alternative ways and stay within certain preconceived. With this look I wanted to venture far, combining first of all two prints at the antipodes: the little white angels of the Dolce&Gabbana transparent shirt with the pony leopard of the Zara clutch and the Yves Saint Laurent sandals, all paired with a Zara preppy skirt. The second strong element are the tights bought on Asos with gold decorated garters combined with my new H&M golden nailpolish. The shots were taken on a set that required several hours of work to achieve this effect. I’m very satisfied of the result, what do you think about it?

Sono fermamente convinta che la moda sia prima di tutto divertimento: mentre facciamo shopping e quando scegliamo cosa indossare dobbiamo divertirci e stare bene con noi stesse. Dover poi riordinare l’enorme quantità di vestiti sparsi nella nostra camera forse ci potrà far sorridere un po’ meno ma ne varrà sempre la pena! Ecco perché credo che con una forma di comunicazione così libera ed indipendente quale è la moda, occorra sempre sperimentare e sbarazzarsi della paura di sbagliare che porta con sé la tendenza a non provare mai strade alternative e rimanere sempre all’interno di certi schemi precostituiti. Con questo look ho voluto osare molto, abbinando innanzitutto due fantasie agli antipodi: i piccoli angeli bianchi della camicia trasparente di Dolce&Gabbana con il cavallino leopardato della clutch di Zara e dei sandali di Yves Saint Laurent, il tutto abbinato ad una gonnellina a pieghe di Zara. Secondo elemento forte le calze acquistate su Asos con reggicalze oro decorato a riprendere il mio nuovo smalto dorato di H&M. Gli scatti sono stati fatti su un set che ha richiesto diverse ore di lavoro per ottenere questo effetto. Io sono molto soddisfatta del risultato, voi cosa ne pensate?

Agreed. It is so important to put that fear aside. Fear of what others will think of you and your own fears of trying something you aren't used to.
Fabulous outfit and gorgeous pics!
