Wine Red.


   Generally I dress myself in a very romantic and dramatic way, maybe the dramatic part is more so than the romantic side. But in reality I do have the habit of dressing up in a Tomboy sort of way. I guess it is more suited for me to do this during daily life in Berlin. I hardly think walking around Berlin in a dress that would be more suited for a Dramatized Fantasy TV show “Once upon a time” than actual reality, or day-to-day living.Not to mention the Berlin streets are un even, have many rocky surfaces which are not your usual smooth surface of a sidewalk. I slip a lot during winter especially very embarrassing.  Many years ago, I drew a comic to make fun of myself wearing heels…this drawing depicted reality!
    Not only can heels give women a confidence of a more slender and taller frame, adding sophistication to the equation of feminine elegance. Flats also can be used in this way and look very cool! As they say after all “You wear the clothes the clothes do not wear you” , so wear any type of style you like and love with confidence. This is important isn’t it? I see many times people dressed up in different styles and trying to hard, they should be wearing them with confidence and not with paranoia and worry of “Does this suit me? Will others like it? Do I look silly? Do I look cool? “. Honestly, who cares about such Worries, Just wear the clothes, be Confident. Again, it is character……to be confident and have an air of defiance.
   Wear what you want, be confident and be happy in your own skin. After all life comes and goes for all of us so quick. This doesn’t have to be depressing but rather an awakening. A realization that this life , this body you have should be enjoyed.  That you are amazing!
    Theme for today is “Wine Red”. The color palette was combined by wine red and other warm colors mainly. Styling somehow like painting, I like keeping a kind of color Balance.
