Hi everyone,
Last week a work friend of mine and I went to attend the
“2016 Designers Fair’ not far away from my home. I like this type of events for a number of
reasons. First and foremost, it is a
great opportunity to meet and learn from cutting edge designers, media gurus
and the like, to hear them talking about upcoming trends in design and interior
styling whether it is about colours, shapes or new materials. It is also a great creative hub where you can
find interesting ideas for your own home.
There were plenty of stalls dedicated to fashion and all
sorts of accessories so normally it is a full on affair and a place to see and
be seen. We all too familiar with the
saying “Do not judge a book by its cover” and yet first impressions count as
people, more often then not, perceive you by the way you are dressed way before
they can form an opinion about what kind of person you are.
Knowing this only too well, I decided to put some thought
into my outfit. For quite some time I
was on the hunt for a pair of white pants for the upcoming spring and summer
but couldn’t find anything that I liked.
All I saw where two extremes:
skinny jeans or wide-legged pants and at the moment I am not crazy about
both. I already have the former, as for
the latter, every pair I’ve tried; the legs were so exaggeratedly wide and
totally unpractical to wear. I am
guessing that this trend will not be around for long and I wanted something
more classic.
Then one day I stepped inside “Maison Scotch” store and the
first item I saw was a pair of white wide -leg pants with thin black and a little bit
wider, light blue stripes. I loved them
immediately. Not believing it was my
lucky day, I took a pair into a dressing room but even before I checked myself
in the mirror, I knew that they were made for me.
The weather that day the fair was held was coolish and
sunny, perfect for my new purchase. I
didn’t want to look like I was trying too hard to make an impression and since
it was a day-time affair, nor did I want to look too serious but yet
stylish. So as a top, I chose a plain
black button down shirt. We all know
that it is almost impossible to go wrong with black and white combo. For fun, I chose a long string of faux pearls
that went around my neck a la Chanel style.
When deciding what to put on my feet, I had to compromise
style for comfort, hence my flat sandals.
We had a great time, but true to my word (read here), I was
very good and stayed away from the temptation just enjoying the creative
atmosphere around us. My friend, on the
other hand, indulged herself to the fullest.
