EN: A few days ago I was reading an article about Coco Chanel ideas and some of her famous quotes. No, I’m not gonna talk about the “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only,fashion is in the sky […]” one, it’s become such a cliché!(in my opinion, of course); but I found it interesting that she thought that the knees were the ugliest part of the female body, and the best thing to do is to hide them under a skirt. Did you know that? Call me a dummy but I had never heard of this up until a few days ago, when I found myself reading the article.
Anyway, I kept thinking about it and realized that…she’s right. As much as I like short hemlines and showing off those pins, I have to admit that covered knees are so much more flattering and classy.
So, bearing that in mind, I pulled this dress out of the closet. If i remember correctly, I found this pink beauty at a local thrift store last summer and of course, I never wore it. Not sure if i told you this before but I tend to buy things and not wear them. For a while. I just get them, place them nicely on the hanger and stare at them from time to time. Mostly I do this with things I really like, because somehow I believe they’re too perfect to be worn and I’m afraid I’ll spoil their perfection…
RO: Citeam acum cateva zile un articol despre Coco Chanel, cu privire la ideile ei si cateva dintre faimoasele citate. Nu, n-o sa bat campii cu deja cliseicul (in opinia mea): “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only,fashion is in the sky […]” dar mi s-a parut interesant sa aflu ca mademoiselle Gabrielle Chanel considera ca genunchii sunt partea cea mai urata din corpul feminin, si ca cel mai bun lucru de facut in situatia aceasta era camuflarea lor sub fuste. Stiati chestia asta? Posibil sa fiu eu mai neinitiata in domeniu, dar habar n-aveam de treaba asta pana acum cateva zile.
M-am tot gandit apoi…si mi-am dat seama ca are dreptate babatia. Cu toata inclinatia mea spre mini si picioare considerabil dezgolite, sunt de acord ca niste genunchi acoperiti sunt mult mai placuti ochiului si mai eleganti.
M-am imbracat asadar sub influenta ideei asteia, cu una dintre rochiile mele inca virgine, de care nu m-am atins niciodata. Daca-mi aduc aminte bine, am gasit rochia asta vara trecuta intr-un second hand. Am luat-o, am spalat-o si n-am purtat-o deloc. Nu stiu daca v-am mai spus, dar am o chestie pentru lucrurile noi. Le cumpar si nu le port. O perioada. Doar le iau, (uneori dupa eforturi considerabile) le atarn frumos pe umeras sau le las in cutie (in functie de caz), ma holbez la ele din cand in cand si ranjesc. Si gata. Fac asta in general cu lucrurile care imi plac foarte foarte mult, pentru ca am cumva senzatia ca sunt prea frumoase ca sa le port iar daca le port, le dispare tot farmecul…
