I am a big fan of KITTEN HEEL shoes for elevating even the most casual ensembles, without sacrificing comfort. Flats are lovely, don't get me wrong, but providing just the tiniest bit of elevation somehow (for me anyway) changes the whole silhouette. I've somewhat muscular calves, and have always been a bit self conscious about wearing chunky heels--maybe it's all 'in my head'....lol but find I feel my most confident and 'put together' in kitten heels. :)

@maijatreimane Жыл бұрын

Great tips Marie Anne ❤ First outfit probably is my favourite but love also white outfit with chambre shirt and hat. Funny, I liked to knot my shirts in my 20s. Gloomy Soviet Union and I always looked dressed very in Western (I mean free Western countries) style. I also have good observation skills, and when I started to travel abroad (Berlin Wall was fallen), I noticed that the most important thing is to have great quality shoes and handbag. Back then, I had a wonderful tailor (shops were almost empty) so I always had unique clothing as well. One tip what I learnt from my friend and designer in my home country, Latvia 🇱🇻 is : play with accessories! Accessories, like scarves, hats, jewellery, interesting shoes, and so on, can elevate any outfit, which seems boring or too plain. Though I am quite minimalist with outfits and pay great attention to materials and quality now. And that's also your advice, Marie Anne - French women mantra. I am not French by passport but deep down in my heart, I feel like French. 😄 Sometimes Australians ask me - are you French? Nope, I am not 😂 Atm learning French language in my pace, watching a lot of French movies and my favourite French writer is Marguerite Duras ❤ P.S. And it's your fault 😅 that lately I bought white high quality pants and 2 extremely expensive extra fine merino jumpers - beige and white. All on great sale but still expensive 😞

You may find it hard to imagine but in Vancouver, (the birthplace of Lululemon, consistently voted worst-dressed city in Canada, sigh...) your original jean skirt outfit would be considered really dressy with no need to upgrade 🙂. I thought both outfits were lovely - but perhaps the jean version more so for a day event??
