Just Have Fun and Enjoy Your Life!!

We all complain about our lives from time to time. An unexpected expense comes up or we get laid off from our jobs. So many things can happen to us in even just one day. Unfortunately, complaining is a waste of time. It is a grown up version of whining, and yes, we too have tantrums. The key to enjoying life is in how we react to the events and mishaps in our daily lives.

Daily inspiration

Featured blogger- Curly fashion

How do you get your inspiration for the outfits you wear ?

Almost everything can be my inspiration. It can be photo of another blogger or someone, who I see on the street. Sometimes I get inspired, when I see two fruits lying next to themselves. It's funny, but it's true. You’ll never know, when or where you can find your inspiration.

Who has had the biggest fashion influence on your outfits ?

I think the biggest fashion influence on my outfits have had polish fashion bloggers. I watch fashion show very rarely, so I can only follow the example, which another bloggers show on their pages.

What made you start posting your pictures on chictopia ?

I have never posted my photos on that page, but I have heard about it. It’s some kind of website like lookbook, right? I have posted my photos there. I have done it because I was hoping maybe my pictures will be noticed or someone will give me their opinion about my outfits.

What blogs and websites do you follow and why ? 

Like I said, I follow a lot of polish blogs. First of all of them is Cajmel’s blog. She looks like a princess on every photo and I’d like to have her type of beauty. And her style - it's very romantic and girly - just like mine. Second blog, that I love to visit is sannas-land-of-illusion. I adore color of Sanna’s hair. Besides, there’s a lot of happiness and joy in her pictures. Madame Julietta has always new clothes on her blog, clothes that I’d kill for. Her style is fresh, youth. And the last one from my favourite polish bloggers is Smok Smoczynska. She has unusual sense of humor. I love to read every sentence that she wrote under her pictures.

Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion follower ?

It’s possible to be both of them? Sometimes I look on some pictures and think “I’d like to have the same clothes”. And then I try to buy them. But, on the other hand, I buy a lot of clothes, that are unusual, because they come from second hand. And when I find something that isn’t trendy at the moment, but I like it, I buy it. And later, it turns out, that’s the hit of the future fashion collections.

How would you describe your style ?

I think my style can’t be describe with few words. Sometimes I like to wear flower prints, bows, pastel colors, which make my outfits look girly, romantic. But, when I’m in the mood for rock, I put on hat, leather jacket, wedges and chains with crosses. My style has many faces, but it is always elegant and feminine.

Does the hosiery you wear dictate the clothes,outfit you wear ?

I don’t know, if I understand your question, but… Yes, sometimes I buy the hosiery and then I try to match clothes for it.

What is in your hosiery drawer or closet ?

In my hosiery drawer the great majority of place take tights. I don’t have some kind of enormous collection, but there’s about 10 pairs of different colors and patterns. I have knee-socks too and sock for ballerinas (I’m not sure it’s right word in English), which are amazing for summer.

How do you choose your hosiery ? 

It’s often like that - I see shorts, skirt or dress and I know, what kind of hosiery will I need. Color, print. Then I go to shop and search for my ideal pair.

Where do you shop for hosiery ? 

In Poland there’s a big company called “Gatta”, which is well-known from quality and have plenty of choice. Almost always I buy my tights there.

What was the last item of hosiery you brought, how much you spent etc ?

I bought three pairs of tights from Gatta. It have cost me 55 zlotych (PLN). I bought sock for ballerinas too - it have cost 12 zlotych.

Do you prefer sheer or opaque tights,stockings or holdups,socks or kneehighs,sheer toe or reinforced ?

I didn’t know there’s some many types of hosiery J I prefer sheer tights, when I’m wearing “loud” outfit and opaque (with print?), when I want that tights has been noticed at first. I wear stockings sometimes, because they are more convenient than tights. Holdups? No. Socks for sport shoes, I think. Kneehighs? Yes, for shorts, skirts, but very rarely.

Do you ever wear 10 denier tights or sheer hose if so how long do they last you ?

I bought 15 DEN tights recently and they last me for two outfits 

How does wearing tights make you feel emotionally ? More feminine,better with girly outfits not thought about it ?

Of course, I feel more feminine, when I’m wearing tights. It’s like that, because I’m wearing dress, skirt or shorts in that moment and I can show my legs. A man can’t do that. Or he can, but he will look ridiculous J 

Do you physically like the feel of tights and touch ? Do your legs ache less, prefer than pants ? 

Yes, I like the feel of tights and I like to touch my legs, when I’m wearing them. They are then so soft and pleasant. I have never thought about it, but it can be true, that legs ache less, because our skin can breathe better.

When do you wear hosiery,daily-once a week etc?

It depends of many factors. My mood, weather and my idea for outfit. But there’s always one day per week, that I wear hosiery (mostly tights). 

What are your style tips for wearing tights ?

Careful not to drag them J and when you laddered your tights and you don’t have another pair - you can paint it with nail polish. It will help for a few hours J

How do you put on tights?

Carefully, haha J I hate doing it! My tights should be put on me by themselves J

Whats the strangest place you have put on hosiery ?

That’s interesting question… But I don’t remember any of strange place, where I must to put on hosiery. I would always found a bathroom J

Do you keep a spare pair of tights in your bag ?

Of course! I’m very far-sighted, especially, when it comes to tights, which are so easy to tearing.

The best and worst things about hosiery, Love-hate ?

The best - they are making us, women, look sexy, more feminine. The worst - they’re fragile and easy to tear.

Do you recycle your tights if not how many pairs of tights do you throw away each month ? What was the last pair you put in the bin,trash ?

I’m not sure how recycling of tights look like… When tights have a lot of holes, I throw them away. Sometimes it can be 1-2 pair in month. The last pair I put in bin was tights 15 DEN, which are very fragile. Because of that I buy 40 DEN - the last more much longer.
