I will be frank: it took a while for my style to become. Only recently, I realized what I really like, how I want to look and what I feel like - as myself. Different stages of life influenced my appearance: in high school I liked the “glamorous” style - then, it seems, almost everyone wanted to look older, including myself. Short skirts, high heels, sequins, thin eyebrows and a lot of foundation - everything would be fine if you are not sixteen! In general, without tears in the photos of those times you will not look.
After school, I was thrown from side to side: I wanted to be typically feminine and sophisticated, or break the brutal one. However, as soon as I ceased to feel comfortable in the "new image", he was quickly replaced by others. Probably, all this time I tried to find myself among a pile of someone else, imposed by society, fashion trends, parents and friends. No matter how lofty it sounded, but when I finally understood myself, inner harmony and confidence appeared, as well as acceptance of appearance and a clear idea of how I want to dress. Now the way I look, first of all I should like myself.
In my arsenal you can find anything, from basic things to a leopard print - I really wear all this. I love vintage stores very much - the clothes of them constitute the main part of my wardrobe. It's so wonderful when you can grab an amazing thing with a story that only you have! Sometimes I order something in online stores - most often these are brands that are not represented in Moscow. Fortunately, my profession allows me to look and dress as I like, so I can come to work in a basic T-shirt and jeans, and dress up for no reason. And oh, how I love to dress up!
Sweater and clutch from swap, Mango skirt, Porta 9 boots
In this image there are all the attributes that I had not borne before the spirit: screaming red, bright contrasting print, heels, puffy fur. It's amazing, of course, how the taste and perception is changing - now I am incredibly comfortable and beautiful in all this. Favorite sweater of an unknown brand - it seems that someone has personally tied him up with a swap.
Trench from second-hand boots with a swap
Trench bought during the last trip to Berlin, in a small second-hand. There is a very pleasant granny who helped me choose the right model and was so genuinely surprised that I wanted to take a man's thing for myself!
Mango Earrings
Vintage jacket, Uniqlo shirt, Uterqüe pants, Mappa shawl, adidas sneakers
I love colored scarves very much - it is an accessory for all occasions. I wear them in all possible ways: on the neck, on the head, on the belt. You can even just tie it to your bag.
I AM Studio Shirt, Monki Skirt, Levi's Belt, Jerusalem Market Sandals
Before, I couldn’t wear bright colors at all, and if I did wear a colored thing, I wanted to change my clothes in an hour - it irritated me so much. But now I have a lot of bright clothes, and I am very comfortable in it.
Vintage shirt, COS jeans, Levi's belt, Porta 9 ankle boots.
Like many things in my wardrobe, this shirt is actually a man’s shirt. It doesn't bother me at all, moreover, I love oversight. In these COS jeans, everything is perfect for me: I adore high waist and wide leg.
Vintage jacket, dress from Parcel shop, Converse sneakers
The jacket is not just vintage - this is my grandmother's thing! Somehow she came to visit her, I looked, and the granny in this beautiful jacket was watering the dog, she went to the yard to feed and the garbage was taking out the garbage! She told me that this is a thing of her youth, the stains are no longer being cleaned, there are holes - take it, she says if you want, but why do you need this junk. And I took it, sewed it up, cleaned it, scored it on the stains - it’s even better with them. I am very pleased to wear my grandmother's thing, here every spot has its own story.
Escentric Molecules 04 Toilet Water
Uniqlo turtleneck sweater, vest from swap, Massimo Dutti pants, Levi's belt, Dr. boots Martens
Vest unknown brand, which I took on the swap. By the way, I also have a decent amount of clothes from swaps, before I used to go to them very often - there you can always grab a cool thing.
Vintage blouse, Uterqüe pants, Levi's belt, Converse sneakers
Trousers flared - my eternal love!
Perfumery water Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, silver jewelry

Monki Vintage Skirt, Monki Skirt, Levi's Belt, Dr. Boots Martens
I really like voluminous jackets with wide shoulders. Such a thing is cool combined with skirts, pants, dresses - you can simply throw on top or gird with a belt. Specifically, this jacket bought in Istanbul - there is just some kind of vintage paradise, honestly! A lot of good shops where you can find everything your heart desires.
