Like many miam girls, I was overwhelmed passion for self portrait dresses. Almost every cocktail outfit, which stopped my picky look, belonged to this young and popular brand. Having caught my emerald green, tight-fitting dress on summer sales, for the first time in a long time I felt the heartbeat of the usual fitting - Mine! It became clear why I had so many requests to find Self Portrait from the girls who approached me from Russia. And only I was so far from cocktails and parties in my life that I missed everything!

On me: dress, Self Portrait; sandals, Sandro; rings and earrings, all by H&M; bag, Chanel

“I don’t like it,” my husband snapped, delighted when he saw me in a dress.

- Why ???? - I opened my eyelashes wide.

- Color depressive. Keep in mind, do not wear it if we decide to go somewhere together tonight! - For no reason, my darling got angry.

- Mom, mom, don't listen to him! - Small was worried. - Handsomely! Suits you! Let me give it to you!

All this dialogue would hardly have touched me strongly, if the day before, seeing myself in this dress in the mirror, I would not have thought - yes, this dress is just a mirror. The stitching and tight long sleeves were echoes of the surfer-style fashion that I adored. It was transparent, but only within the framework of comfortable privacy, feminine, but not sweet, a little bold, but only in the form of a hint, fashionable, but not transforming me from a girl into an art object. It was my self-portrait in the form of a dress! I saw myself just like that!

Later, standing with the dress at the ready in the dressing room, I decided whether to return it to the store or leave it? What was more important, to be what our halves want us to see? Men, on whose approval, we somehow pay attention? Or stay true to yourself? And, without having felt the right idea, I hung up the dress in the closet with a check - the period of 30 days was given for the decision to return in most stores in America. During this time I had to decide whether my husband really didn’t like the real me, or it was the most valuable thing that he wanted to hide away from everyone and just keep it for himself.

- No parties in Moscow, Lyuska. So know! .......
