Two vintage rings

My mum gave me these two beautiful vintage rings. The one with the pearl was her aunt's and the other one was hers from her younger years.

I'm already wearing them and I love them! Two more for my collection!

About Personal Style

Colors, designs, patterns, fabrics, materials....

We're exposed to a big amount of images of clothes, accessories, shoes, bags, as well as the actual things.

Different seasons, occassions and.... style!

And here's the big question:

What should we do with all these? Copy the look on the cover of the magazine or the one on the doll in the shop window?

Well, I think of it as designers and brands make suggestions to us on what to wear (and practically each season they choose what will be available for you to buy). After that, you should have your own criteria and form a style of your own.

Find shapes and colors that fit you nicely, patterns that you like, go for comfort or just wear something because it looks great and you love the design (ok there might be more comfortable clothes but who cares?!), find what's best for you. And mix and match clothes according to your inspiration, like every look it's a canvas and you pick the theme, the materials you're going to use and the colors...!
