How to change your look without buying new clothes

New season - new trends! So it’s time to  exchange contents of your wardrobe. But is it really necessary? Personally, I'm not a fan of getting rid of all contents of wardrobe  every season and replacing them with new clothes. As I prefer classic style,  I usually wear timeless pieces so it’s hard to call them "trendy". Nevertheless, I like to look "up-to date" and therefore I’m trying modify my old and proven sets so as not to have the feeling that I still wear the same clothes. Nowy sezon – nowe trendy! A więc  i wymiana zawartości garderoby. Czy na pewno jest to konieczne? Osobiście nie jestem zwolenniczką pozbywania się co sezon całej zawartości szafy i wymieniania jej na nową....

Vest

If vest it must be faux fur vest;). I didn’t see different option until recently. When I was little girl I had some pretty vests in my wardrobe. They were a little bit in a male style, and I must admit it was very stylish piece of clothing. But in my adult life, I wasn’t interested in this type of clothing. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I only wore faux fur vests. I was Ignoring vests until my friend's sister (warm greetings to Dorothy and Isabel:*) asked me to sew her a  vest coat. Then I fell in love with vests ! Jeśli kamizelka to tylko futrzana;) Tak do niedawna myślałam. Pamiętam, że jako mała dziewczynka miałam kilka ślicznych...

Little White Dress – Ivon

Little white dress – it’s always in the shadow of its more popular older sister - Little Black Dress. It’s a great alternative to cocktail dresses and it’s perfect solution especially for warm and sunny months. Mała biała – zawsze w cieniu swojej popularnej  starszej siostry –Małej Czarnej.  A to świetna alternatywa dla koktajlowej sukienki. Świetnie sprawdza się zwłaszcza  w cieplejsze i słoneczne miesiące. In my wardrobe, there are more little white dresses than classic black dresses. But I have the impression that white dress is often underestimated by women. It’s a pity, in my opinion, because white dress is perfect for summer and works much better during summer parties, meetings with friends , walks or even to work....

What to Wear When You Have Nothing to Wear

I proudly admit that I rarely say: I have nothing to wear. Interesting is the fact that it coincided in time with the situation when I had a big wardrobe clear – out and I got rid of a ton of clothes. But from time to time I suffer from lack of creativity when it comes to clothes and what to wear. And  then I always choose  comfortable ,knit dresses. This is my must have for each season. I love the fact that such knit dresses don’t hinder my movements, and like no other outfit they  emphasize female figure, and they are easy to styling. I also give them a huge plus for being so universal. They look great in...

In a trap of thinking patterns

I was sitting in a café at the corner and I was sipping a huge caramel latte. It probably has  thousand calories, but I had to get warm on this cool, but spring morning. It was just one of those days when I was dreaming about vacations and  I took a few days off to arrange some things for which I usually don’t have time and next I started missing active day at work. I finished last chapter of the book and I started staring at world around me. An elegant man about 40 years old, probably a manager in a large company, drank an espresso in a hurry, put in his belongings to a leather briefcase and went out...

How to make your work outfit more interesting and fun?

When I started working for corporation  - I actually did an internship while studying, I was young and I admit it took me a long time to create appropriate business attire which at the same time allowed  me to express my personality. Most office  clothes were good for slightly older women, or they were so boring that I could only wear them for a job interview. They weren’t good for morning mirror selfie  on Instagram with #ootd (Aside from the fact, that when I started working Instagram hasn’t existed yet;)). Wearing an office uniform quickly became boring and tiring for me and I wanted to add some touch of smart coolness to my office style. So I decided that to...

Pleated please! How not to wear pleated skirt?

Pleated skirts aren’t a new trend. I was wearing them in primary school for galas, in high school I changed them into to a slightly different model -  plaid pleated skirt, and since I remember my grandmother had pleated skirts in her wardrobe. In a word, it's behind the times. Carolina Herrera said: “Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.” When the House of Gucci reactivated pleated skirts I couldn’t stop admiring them. However, the associations with school uniform or wardrobe of an older lady were firmly rooted in me and I had to see a lot of inspirational photos on Pinterest to be sure that I...

5 reasons why podcasts are great way to dream bigger

Recently, I’m obsessed with podcasts!  I can confidently say that podcasts have become my new favorite ritual. I love listening to them when I am getting ready to work. It helps me to start my day productively and positively. I reach for it when I’m on my way to and from work (traffic jams!!) and while I’m cooking, ironing or relaxing in the bathJ My adventure with podcasts began relatively recently, but before that I was "eavesdropping" podcasts that my husband was listening while  we were traveling by car. Ostatnio totalnie wkręciłam się w podcasty! Mogę śmiało powiedzieć, że podcasty stały się moim  nowym ulubionym rytuałem. Uwielbiam słuchać ich kiedy rano przygotowuję się do wyjścia do pracy, pomaga mi to rozpocząć...

5 reasons why it’s not worth worrying about the future

During  recent workshop at my work I was asked about my fears. When I started to think about it, I realized that I worry about the future the most.  My thoughts revolve around it and I mostly focus my activities on this topic. Why is not worth focusing on the past, I wrote you HERE and HERE. Not only focusing on the past, but also thinking too much about the future is very destructive. Just like visualizing your goals, visualizing your worries lead you to what you imagine. Of course, setting future goals requires a look into the future and anticipation, and you need to take up a challenge and take a risk ( it causes worries ), but when...
