dress | Olya Garkusha — A Diary of Inspiration

🌠🌠🌠

Recently I realized a simple, yet really important thing. And many working Girls will now get my point. In today's World when you're concentrated on your career or business, on what you should do & create on an everyday basis, on competing with men and on other integral parts of your working weekdays — you lose that feeling of a feminity & even feel like there are no borders between genders.

And this is really sad and depressing sometimes.

No, get me right — I am a huuuge fan of a casual style. High-waisted jeans + tee or sweater is my favorite and the most comfortable look ever. And I do realize that it's simply uncomfortable to wear a dress on an everyday basis. Yet when I'm wearing it — I've got a whole different feeling :)

So now, even on a casual weekend, when there is no special occasion, I try to wear this beautiful & important piece of a women's wardrobe, like the one you see in these photos. Just for myself.

Cause in our fast and dynamic world it's really crucial to stay real, to be who you really are 👐

Weekend Mood

When the leaves are golden — everything around us becomes so incredibly magic! And even though it's almost snowing outside now, and I'm posting these photos with one-month delay, I still feel that incredible atmosphere that these leaves are creating.

And what about this beautiful warm dress I'm wearing. When I was shooting these photos, I saw how wonderfully this dresses colors match the Fall Nature around me! Yet now, when it's just over a month left before the Winter holidays, I realized that it will be a great choice for a Winter as well. It is so warm and cozy, so I really think you're gonna feel yourself comfy during snowy & frosty season ⛄

Dresses are for Winter too!

Golden Leaves

Hello, beautiful people!

Summer — is my favorite time for wearing dresses. Not that Spring or Fall isn't, but on these Seasons I prefer skirts or trousers, or casual jeans looks, when the hot Summer weather definitely lives no choice but to wear light & free dresses outfits. I think you've noticed that I posted a lot of them recently, just because I'm really enjoying wearing such feminine & romantic piece of clothing now.

So, today I'm sharing one more dress-obsession (oh, how many times will the word 'dress' appear in this post!), that I think is more suitable for some beautiful sea-coast or an ocean resort. If you'll add a straw hat & change sneakers on sandals or espadrilles — you have a ready go-to look under the Tuscany sun or at the white Nice beach.

But I'm in a city now, so I chose white sneakers & my new favorite bag (that appears in almost every post cause I just love it) for a great city-girl-combination. And how would you style this dress? :)

Oh, that Dress!

Wednesday, July 13, 2016

As a fashion & travel blogger, I love discovering new places, new countries, towns or even some new corners in my native city, where I'm currently living. Being blogger actually means, that wherever you're going you unconsciously look for photogenic places & see everything around you in an Instagram grid. No kidding, literally my life!

So, when my Mom showed me this old authentic door in one of the yards in the centre of the city, I realised that it will be a incredible background for some boho Summer outfit. It turned that this white boho Oasis dress was exactly what I was looking for such photos, and I must say, I'm absolutely happy with the results! I will be happy if they inspire you too :)

And do you know such secret inspiring places in your city?

A Hidden Place

Thursday, July 7, 2016

Hello, my beautiful people!

Summer is getting hotter day by day, and we all are constantly looking for a ways to feel ourselves more comfortable outside our apartments. Last week I showed you some clothing pieces that will help you stay stylish yet not hate everything you have on you because it only gives more heat!

Today, I decided to demonstrate you one of my favorite Summer outfits, that is perfect for a +35°C (and even higher!). This dress is incredibly light despite the lining inside. The only minus of it is the fact that when the wind is blowing, you're gonna feel yourself like Marilyn Monroe in a famous 'The Seven Year Itch' scene! So, just don't forget to hold your skirt while wearing a chiffon dress on a windy day :)

Tell me about your favorite Summer look for a hotter days! I ♥ hearing from you

Summer in the City

Monday, June 27, 2016

Hello, beautiful people!

I'm really thrilled to show you one of my favorite photoshoots so far! I just adore this effortless & light outfit for being so perfect for almost any Summer occasions — you can wear it as on a beach party, so on a romantic date on a warm evening. And if your Summer is as 'cool' (I mean, even pretty much cold), just throw on a light yet warm cardigan on shoulders for an extra comfort during not-so-hot Summer nights this year.

What I also love about white color — is the fact that it will look suitable everywhere and anytime. I was surprised that this dress because of its white color, doesn't look like a special occasion dress only. Especially, if you're pairing it with silver sneakers for adding a special touch to the whole outfit, it completely removes the stereotype about the fact that white dress can be for a prom or wedding only.

So, if you're looking for a light & beautiful look for your special plans this Summer, I recommend you to go with such winning combination as this one:)

My Youth is yours

Thursday, June 9, 2016

Hello, Loves! Happy first day of Summer! May your Summer months be bright and full of happiness & joy :)

Despite the fact, that serenity, as we all know — is one of the main, pantone colors of this year, I also love it for being so incredibly feminine & universal in styling. Besides, the combination of serenity with gold or silver colors is the most Summerly matching, as it remindes of a blue water with a clean sand.

This outfit I'm wearing today, is one of my favorite OOTDs for not-too-hot Summertime. One — it has soft colors, blue & silver. Two — it's a comfy dress styled with a sneakers. Three — it covers two main Summer trends at once (read my latest article to find out which of). So, it's definitely my #1 going-to-walk Summer look, and I highly recommend you to think about creating your such universal & beloved outfit for this Season:)
