Gaining Confidence Through Fashion

Hey guys, today I have a beautiful and inspiring blog post fwritten by charming Anya from ShoeDazzle.com!Enjoy and post your thoughts in the comments! *heart* Sasha.


There's nothing more attractive than confidence! A confident woman doesn't need to turn heads by showing a lot of skin. A healthy sense of self-appreciation shines through in a flash of the eyes or the silent laugh of a smile. All women deserve to feel good about themselves and their individual attributes. Allow fashion to help you raise your self-esteem while also providing you an opportunity for personal expression. A woman's body is a work of art and fashion is how the canvas gets painted from head to toe. When summer approaches, embrace the sun's warmth as a chance to get more creative in your fashion choices. Have fun with what you wear and that sense of fun will translate a red carpet appeal to others around you!



Summer fashions typically contain brighter colors. Use your own eye color as a starting point for choosing colors that suit you if you're otherwise unsure. The eyes are often the first thing a new person notices when meeting you so choose clothing and colors that compliment them and make them stand out. Of course, you can also accessorize your eyes with an array of sunglass styles or your feet with the hottest of any women’s shoes collection. So don't forget about this summers color schemes. A shoe that compliments the colors in your outfit can really complete the ensemble, while those that clash will stand out for the wrong reasons. Shoes can also boost a woman's confidence by increasing her height; consider women's shoes with platforms and heels if you’d like to be a bit taller. It's all about what makes you feel good about you—but don’t be afraid to be bold and daring this summer!
Maxi dresses are by far my all time fav this summer season! A comfortable option in the heat that is suitable for so many different occasions. They can be worn when going out for a night on the town or for a casual shopping trip with girlfriends. They are free flowing, which allow you to feel the benefits of a cool summer breeze and they fit tight enough around the waist to provide you with comfortable support. 



Vintage jewelry is another way of having fun with an outfit. The colors of the jewelry can contrast directly with the rest of the outfit if you wish to draw attention to it. You can also have one color scheme for your jewelry and another for the rest of the outfit.

Confidence-boosting fashion doesn't have to break the bank. There's nothing sexier than a woman who likes the way she looks, so strut your stuff this summer season!

Dress Makeover

Hi guys! How are you? Today I decided to post something different, something you have never seen in my blog before. It somehow will reflect my musings about my sewing skills, and hopefully will inspire some of you to dare and try something new.

This white lace dress was thrifted by me back in December for a retro party we had at work. It suited the occasion perfectly and cost me about $3. Unfortunately, I don't have better pictures where you could see it fully. It was quite long (about 4 fingers lower than knees), with lacy sleeves and a little hole on the back of the skirt. Overall, I was happy with the retro  look I had that evening.



As you can probably see, the dress looked quite outdated and didn't follow the current fashion trends. But it was too beautiful to just throw away! So, having 0 sewing skills, I decided to update it a little bit. I figured, it didn't need to much of a change.

First of all, I cut off the sleeves as the were the main "old-school" detail of this dress. After that, I trimmed the lace to get rid of the long hanging ends that were sticking out in different directions.


After those easy7 manpulations the sewing part came, I took in the bottom of the dress for about 20 cm to shorten and give the dress a more modern and up to date look. Looks much better now, hah? :)

Pocahontas version of me


Lately I have been highly inspired by the talent and photography of a young mother and photographer, Nirrimi. She is magical. Her photgraphs seem candid at the first look, but them you see that ever detail falls into place. Like a good puzzle, like you could have seen a perfect photo in your mind.

Obviously, I am too far from being as good as she is in posing, photgraphing, and expressing my thoughts in long, breathtaking articles. But at least, she inspired me to get out of the apartment and model for a small photoshoot.

I tried to fallow Nirrimi's  vision of free, independent, nature aware people that both look good and effortless in front of the camera.














Of course, this photoshoot didn't turn out perfectly and all that I wanted. It was just a more Native American or Pocahontas (that's what my friends thought) version of me. But, please, at least appreciate the effort. Haha :)
