THE FIRST GIFT I RECEIVED HERE WERE SNEAKERS FROM MY BROTHER
On my 29th birthday, I arrived in the USA from one of the Eastern European countries. The first gift I received here were sneakers from my brother. To me at that time, you only wore sneakers to the gym or to work out. That’s how I was instructed by my mother, who has exquisite taste in clothing. I didn’t plan to work out any time soon because I’m not a very sporty individual. In my country, although most people didn’t have more than two pairs of shoes, 29-year-old women couldn’t imagine going outside without heels. Furthermore, we did not take any vehicles and did a lot of walking. If the distance was relatively short, like around a mile, we would walk there. The only shoes worn by the older women were flats.
The clothing style will be described in the same way. At that time, everything was about jeans and other denim apparels. Dresses, shirts, skirts, and jackets were the most sought-after items on the black market. People usually brought them from overseas, and would sell them for an extraordinary amount of money, which was equal to one monthly salary of a teacher, doctor, and all other highly educated specialists.
My first jean dress made me very popular with my friends. I have worn it to my University and met one of our professors on the way. She asked me to go home and change my dress. She informed me that she recently attended a seminar in Canada and that only cleaning people who wear denim there. I was utterly surprised.
It has been 30 years since my 29th birthday. All this time I’ve been following American fashion styles and I have to admit that it is so very comfortable, but you completely lose your personality wearing leggings, t-shirts and sneakers on the daily bases.
After years of straying away from the European fashion world, I have come back to the styles that I admired when I was younger. European style is sexy and stands out from the rest. It has the ability to convert any women into the princess, no matter of her body shape. You just have to find your style and continue to move in this direction. There’s a considerable quality between women with and without style.
