				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Colorful fashion and about writing for the web</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/peace-tshirt.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3551" alt="colorful vintage outfit" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/peace-tshirt.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>I admit it! I let myself tempted by writing a post based on &#8220;Peace and love&#8221; because of the t shirt print. But I gave up. I said to myself that I couldn&#8217;t be so trivial. People is getting out of the habit of reading, it&#8217;s a fact, and we all bloggers indulge in this trend writing childish texts and using  cliché and commonplaces. But we are wrong. We need to find a way to write for the web spreading high contents using plain words. We owe it to our followers, because the time they spend watching and reading our blog would never be wasted time.</p>
<p>To all my readers: My Vintage Curves is for you and you are the most important part of it!</p>
<p>About the outfit: summer is here and I chose a colorful vintage pleated skirt, a casual tee and my favourite high heels ever: a pair of golden pumps. It seems to be am 80s inspired look but it&#8217;s not <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Lo confesso, ho pensato di buttare questo post sul &#8220;Peace and love&#8221; per via della maglietta, ma poi mi sono fermata. Sono davvero così banale e prevedibile? Il fatto è che quando hai un blog e aspiri ad avere un gran numero di lettori è facile cadere nel giogo delle keywords e dell&#8217;indicizzazione di google. La gente non legge, è un fatto, e noi blogger tendiamo ad assecondare la tendenza scrivendo testi da prima elementare e infarcendoli di frasi fatte e slogan preconfezionati. E sbagliamo. Perché trovare la cifra adatta a scrivere per il web è fondamentale per riuscire a veicolare i contenuti.</p>
<p>Nel mio primo anno di blogging ho imparato che la brevità e la chiarezza pagano sempre. L&#8217;imperativo è semplificare il linguaggio ma non i concetti, per far si che le parole non scivolino via e che il tempo che i followers (mi rivolgo ai miei: siete preziosi ed è per voi che My Vintage Curves esiste) ci dedicano non sia mai sciupato.</p>
<p>Riguardo all&#8217;outfit: indosso una bellissima gonna a pieghe vintage di Escada, una maglietta molto casual e le mie scarpe preferite in assoluto, un paio di tacchi alti con cinturino color oro.<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Fragments of decadent beauty</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dandelion-macro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3538" alt="beauty can pierce one like a pain" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/dandelion-macro.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>It happens sometimes to bump into an unexpected fragment of beauty. In most cases we are completely unable to get it and we are inclined to turn away from it, because, as Thomas Mann said in Buddenbrooks, &#8220;beauty can pierce one like a pain&#8221;. The beauty I&#8217;m talking about has nothing to do with the static perfection of a model, that generate a plain, long lasting pleasure. It causes a sort of heartbreak, it makes us looking into our deep self to find a way to explain it. It&#8217;s a moment in time, an istant that will fall into oblivion, and even if you try to catch it in a photo you will reach nothing but an illusion.</p>
<p>An illuminated window in the dark of the night, a secret decadent garden, a ray of sun through the window of an ancient monastery, a butterfly laid down on the ground, a ghostly church in the night. This is the sublime beauty I bumped into during this week.</p>
<p>I also wrote a post called <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2013/03/diversity-in-fashion.html">Diversity in fashion</a>, that talks about a similar subject. I would be so happy if you read it too!</p>
<p>Frammenti di bellezza decadente.<br />
Capita a volte di venire sorpresi da un<strong> inatteso frammento di bellezza</strong>. Nella maggior parte dei casi non siamo preparati a coglierlo e tendiamo a distogliere lo sguardo, perché, come affermava Thomas Mann ne I Buddenbrook &#8220;<strong><em>La bellezza ci può trafiggere come un dolore</em></strong>.&#8221; E&#8217; particolare tipo di bellezza quello a cui mi riferisco e non ha a che fare con la perfezione assoluta e statica di un modello, che genera un godimento tranquillo e duraturo, ma la bellezza che genera sgomento, quella che ci costringe a guardare nei meandri reconditi del nostro intimo ferendoci con la sua evidenza. Il più delle volte questa bellezza è solo<strong> un istante sottratto dal caso alle grinfie del tempo</strong>, che l&#8217;inghiottirà dopo un po&#8217; incurante della presenza di un occhio che le possa garantire l&#8217;eternità. A me è successo in questi giorni di imbattermi in alcuni fenomeni di questa bellezza decadente e portatrice di sgomento. Con l&#8217;ansia che contraddistingue il genere umano ho tentato di immortalarla per sottrarla all&#8217;oblio, ma la foto è un&#8217;illusione, perché quello che c&#8217;era ormai non c&#8217;è e l&#8217;unico ingannevole frammento di eternità è nel mio ricordo sbiadito.<br />
Una finestra accesa nella notte, un giardino segreto minacciato dalle erbacce, il sole che filtra dalle finestre a sesto acuto di un antico chiostro, una farfalla che si posa sul sagrato di una chiesa che di notte assume i connotati spettrali di luogo della mente, questa è la sublime bellezza in cui mi sono di recente imbattuta.<br />
Ho scritto tempo fa un post sull&#8217;estetica della moda e sul glam, l&#8217;argomento è strettamente connesso a questo. S&#8217;intitola <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2013/03/diversity-in-fashion.html">Diversity in fashion</a>, vi lascio il link in caso vi venisse voglia di leggerlo.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What to wear in the workplace</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/curly-hair-short-cut.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3521" alt="curvy look: work outfit" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/curly-hair-short-cut.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>There aren&#8217;t universal rules on <strong>dressing for work</strong>, because what is considered appropriate varies by workplace, field and what is happening on the day. Some places hava a rigid dress policy, some others let you free to wear what you think is better for you.</p>
<p>Being an <strong>architect</strong> I have to face up to different situations during a regular day: working for hours on the computer screen (alone or in a team), going out and about officies, meeting people and visiting building sites. So I need to wear<strong> comfortable flat shoes</strong> ( saldals and heels can be very dangerous in the construction yards!) and a<strong> big capacious bag</strong>. So I&#8217;m used to opt for a <strong>casual chic style</strong> that allows me to be comfortable but polite.</p>
<p>This is a typical outfit I wear at work: a long cardigan, a pair of flat ankle booties and an all purpose maxi scarf.</p>
<p>A little <strong>parenthesis for curvy women</strong>: flat boots that covers ankles can easily make our ankle stocky, so have care to ensure that there will never be a naked gap between leggings and shoes, because it could creare a visual mistake, making look our legs shorter and our ankle undefined.</p>
<p>And you? What do you wear for work? Do you have a dress code?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Al lavoro ognuno di noi ha esigenze diverse, ovviamente dipendenti dal tipo di mestiere che si svolge. In alcuni ambienti il codice di abbigliamento è piuttosto rigido e risolta quasi inderogabili, in altri vige la piena libertà (si auspica congiunta ad una buone dose di buon senso). Certo è che non bisognerebbe mai in ufficio sfoggiando abiti troppo sexy, nudità, indumenti da palestra o cappelli di piume, a meno che vi chiamiate Lady Gaga e di lavoro facciate la popstar.</p>
<p>Per quanto mi riguarda vestirmi in modo adatto per il lavoro che faccio è davvero difficile, perché le situazioni a cui vado incontro in una giornata lavorativa tipo sono diversissime fra loro. Mi può capitare di passare la giornata a disegnare davanti al computer, da sola o in un gruppo, o saltellare da un ufficio all&#8217;altro, incontrare gente e visitare cantieri edili. Non è affatto raro che queste situazioni si verifichino tutte insiem nella stessa giornata.</p>
<p>Quando apro l&#8217;armadio dunque ho alcune scelte obbligate: una borsa molto capiente, scarpe basse, gambe e piedi coperti (per via dei cantieri, dove la gonna e i tacchi sono pressocché banditi per ovvi motivi di sicurezza). Per il resto mi muovo nello spazio del casual sobrio, ossia un abbigliamento piuttosto rilassato, ma senza eccessi. Quello che vi mostro è il modo tipico in cui mi vesto per andare al lavoro in una giornata di tarda primavera: stivaletto flat con leggings e cardigan lungo. Sciarpone leggero e multiuso, borsa da spalla grande.</p>
<p>Una <strong>piccola divagazione curvy sugli ankle booties ultrapiatti</strong>: ho notato che, avendo gambe e cosce piene ma una caviglia relativamente sottile, per evitare l&#8217;effetto tronchetti di legno vestiti, basta aver cura che fra il bordo dei leggings e le scarpe non ci sia uno stacco, ossia che non si veda quel centimetro di pelle che spezza la continuità fra gamba e piede e che ci fa sembrare più basse. Il problema da evitare è infatti quello che, indossando scarpe che coprono la caviglia, la gamba risulti dritta e tozza, senza definizione. Lo stacco fa si che la parte scoperta venga percepita dall&#8217;occhio come se fosse la caviglia, mentre la caviglia è appena sotto, coperta dal collo degli stivaletti.<br />
Ok, non so se sono riuscita a spiegarmi con chiarezza, se avete dubbi in merito a queste mie frasi deliranti non avete che da scrivermi, tenterò di essere più chiara!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Why the marinière is not a seasonal trend</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/neck-scarf-vintage.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3503" alt="La Marinière, an Eternal Classic" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/neck-scarf-vintage.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>La Marinière has nothing to do with the seasonal trend of stripes.</p>
<p>Marinière is a world, a way of being and an eternal classic, inspired by Breton sailors, immortal fashion muses, iconic actress and the sea (mainly the Northern sea, but I love my calm, blue Mediterranean sea as well).</p>
<p>The <strong>curvy outfit of the day</strong>, so <strong>nautical and retro styled</strong>, is as usual my guest post for the <strong>RubRiga della marinière </strong> and recalls the things I love the most: movies and French songs. All the reference to Jean Gabin, Ingrid Bergman, Nouvelle Vague actresses, Audrey, Brigitte, Giulietta and Fassbinder&#8217;s Querelle de Brest,  are intentional! And if you want to add a soundtrack please listen to La Mer, sung by Charles Trenet.</p>
<p>A few words about the outfit: a white linen skirt, a blue and white striped shirt, a pair of flat ballerinas and a little scarf printed with anchors, that I have kept since I was a child.</p>
<p>I love myself in this outfit, it&#8217;s so me and I hope you like it as well.</p>
<p>You can find the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-rubRiga-della-marini%C3%A8re/490957137610218?fref=ts">Rubriga on facebook</a> and all the other social networks using the <strong>hashtag #rubriga</strong>. Don&#8217;t forget to visit Cecilia of <a href="http://www.modeskine.com/">Modeskine</a> next wednesday!</p>
<p>La marinière non è una tendenza stagionale, anzi ha poco o nulla a che fare con il trend delle righe che impera in ogni dove questa estate.</p>
<p>La maglia a righe, ispirata ai marinai bretoni é una specie di segno di riconoscimento, un tratto distintivo per le persone che, e le amiche della <strong>RubRiga della marinière </strong>ne sono un esempio, indossandole rievocano suggestioni cinematografiche, icone della moda e paesaggi marini spazzati dal vento. Cose romantiche, insomma. Perché io tendo a mischiare un sacco il cinema con la vita e a immergermi totalmente in scenari che sono solo nella mia testa.</p>
<p>Per questo nel mio post di oggi ho voluto accentuare l&#8217;effetto evocativo della marinière indossando un<strong> outfit di ispirazione marinara e vintage</strong> (come al solito). Jean Gabin, la Bergman, le attrici della Nouvelle Vague, Audrey, Brigitte, Giulietta e persino Fassbinder e Querelle de Brest, ogni riferimento é voluto! E ci metto pure una colonna sonora, ovviamente La Mer, rigorosamente cantata da Charles Trenet.</p>
<p>In breve l&#8217;outfit: ho indossato una maglia bianca e blu a righe sottili (orizzontali si!) e una gonna bianca di lino a teli, un paio di ballerine e un foulard con le ancore che possiedo fin da quando ero bambina. Mi amo in questo look, spero piaccia anche a voi!</p>
<p>Ricordate che la RubRiga ha una <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/La-rubRiga-della-marini%C3%A8re/490957137610218?fref=ts">pagina facebook</a>, è presente su tutti i social all&#8217;hashtag #RubRiga ed ogni martedì e mercoledì sui blog della &#8220;crew della rubriga&#8221;. Mercoledì prossimo la ospiterà Cecilia di <a href="http://www.modeskine.com/">Modeskine</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>How to wear neon pants and be casual chic everyday</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/white-silk-blouse.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3481" alt="polite pink pants" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/white-silk-blouse.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>curvy outfit of the day</strong> is a reexamination of one of the most successful trend of the last season (it&#8217;s still trendy this year): the <strong>neon trend</strong>.</p>
<p>I want to show<strong> how to wear neon pants in a polite way</strong>, to make them suitable for women of every age and body shape, who need to be comfortable and plain in their <strong>everyday outfits</strong>.</p>
<p>I put together pink pants, a white silk blouse, a pair of comfort sandal and one of my favourite vintage handbag. I think this outfit could be great to go out for a walk in the park.</p>
<p>Oggi vi propongo un&#8217;idea semplice per portare il neon trend, rivisitando<strong> in chiave sobria</strong> un paio di <strong>pantaloni fucsia</strong>, perché diventino portabili in un <strong>outfit da tutti i giorni</strong>.</p>
<p>Pare che il trend dei colori neon regga ancora per questa estate. Pur non avendolo mai sposato in pieno, l&#8217;anno scorso mi ero convinta a comprare questi jeans fucsia, che ho indossato pochissime volte, perché li trovavo sempre troppo vistosi, qualunque cosa ci abbinassi sopra. So che è un problema di molte, soprattutto delle non giovanissime trovare un modo per adattare i trend non solo alla propria fisicità ed età, ma anche tradurli in abiti portabili nella vita di tutti i giorni.</p>
<p>Ho abbinato un paio di sandali comodi, una borsa vintage che amo molto e una blusa ampia di seta. Niente di trascendentale, un look sobrio, da &#8220;passeggiata al parco&#8221;, per quando volete essere comode e sobrie senza rinunciare ad un pizzico di brio.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Seaside chic in a maxidress and a straw hat</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/straw-hat-italian-style.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3461" alt="curvy on the beach" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/straw-hat-italian-style.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>The place I live, a region in the deep South of Italy called <strong>Calabria</strong>, is far from everywear (the most important Italian cities, I mean), but it&#8217;s characterized by a varied landscapes, so you can be in a high pines forest or on the seaside within a stone&#8217;s throw.</p>
<p>Yesterday morning I went to the beach for the first time of the year. If you are a curvy or plus size woman you know well that this can be such an ugly experience! But since I&#8217;m not alone, I decided to tell you all the phases of my &#8220;<strong>first day on the beach experience</strong>&#8221; real time on instagram (you can find me as @myvintagecurves) and <a href="https://twitter.com/MyVintageCurves">twitter</a> using the <strong>hashtag  #curvyonthebeach</strong>. There are all the pictures of my day at the beach, included a photo of me in a swimsuit.</p>
<p>Why I did it? Because I believe that self esteem can&#8217;t exist without a deep and strong knowledge of ourselves, For my whole life I shied away from taking bikini photos, &#8217;cause I tried to avoid to see my body as it really is. But that&#8217;s no point in hiding the truth.</p>
<p>But not yesterday. I didn&#8217;t paper over my flaws, I had my bikini photo taken without posing, with no make up, no hairdo (I was just out of the water so my hair was wet), no high heels or anything else that could sweeted the pill. Only because I think that <strong>we all need to see ourselves as we are, self awareness is the inalienable condition for being truly self confident</strong>.</p>
<p>Self-awareness is just the beginning of a lifetime of growth and I started <strong>showing my bikini body</strong> (every woman has a bikini body!); the <strong>&#8220;Know thyself&#8221; experience</strong> is not an easy thing to do, but, believe me girls, it&#8217;s so liberating!</p>
<p>And after this boring speech <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  let&#8217;s talk about the outfit: chic at the beach. I paired a summer maxidress with flat sandals, cat eye sunglasses and my straw hat bought in Puglia last month. I love so much this vintage mood, I imagined to play the role of a 50s American Actress just got off a yacht in Capri. I know, I&#8217;m disgustingly romantic! <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>La regione in cui vivo, la<strong> Calabria</strong>, è lontana da tutto, ma è caratterizzata da un territorio straordinariamente vario. In un tiro di schioppo puoi essere immersa in un bosco di pini secolari in montagna, o sdraiata su una spiaggia a guardare il mare blu.</p>
<p>Ieri ho fatto la mia prima domenica di mare della stagione. Se siete ragazze con le curve sapete bene come la prima volta al mare, dopo un lungo inverno trascorso coprendosi sotto strati di abiti, può essere una delle esperienze meno piacevoli che esistano. Prova costume, remise en forme, carnagione lattea, pelle spenta, cellulite, sono incubi che allietano la fatidica <strong>&#8220;notte prima della spiaggia&#8221;</strong> di molte donne; io, manco a dirlo, non faccio eccezione.</p>
<p>Questa volta però ho pensato che forse questo coarcervo di sentimenti contrastanti, divisi fra la voglia di godersi l&#8217;estate e le insicurezze legate al proprio aspetto, valeva la pena raccontarlo. Così, usando l&#8217;<strong>hashtag #curvyonthebeach</strong> ho deciso di postare le fasi della mia prima giornata al mare sia su Instagram che su Twitter. <strong>Foto in costume</strong> compresa. Senza trucco e senza inganno. Senza pose strategiche, senza photoshop, senza fondotinta, tacchi a spillo, luce soffusa, capelli freschi di parrucchiere, senza saltare la cena e la colazione per avere l&#8217;illusione di una pancia più piatta.</p>
<p>Perché sono una kamikaze esibizionista? No. Perché col tempo ho maturato la convinzione che l&#8217;autostima, in lungo e in largo decantata, non può esistere senza consapevolezza di sé. E per essere consapevoli di sé bisogna prima avere il coraggio di guardarsi e accettare di conoscersi.<br />
Il discorso vale per corpo e testa, perché di questo siamo fatti.</p>
<p>Non facevo una foto in costume da quando avevo 9 anni. Cercavo di evitare a me stessa il momento in cui, guardandola, avrei notato tutti i miei difetti e avrei cominciato ad autoflaggellarmi. Intanto i miei difetti me li sono immaginati, li ho mistificati, usati come alibi o come strumenti di tortura a seconda dei casi.</p>
<p>Ieri no. Uno dei mantra del mio blog è &#8220;prima conosci le regole e poi distruggile&#8221;. Beh, vale anche per il nostro io. <strong>La conoscenza e il miglioramento di sé sono sforzi dolorosi ma necessari, se si vuole arrivare con onestà intellettuale ad essere fieri di sé stessi. Sul materiale di base non abbiamo meriti o demeriti, é sul come riusciamo a plasmarci per diventare le migliori persone possibili che i nostri sforzi si devono concentrare. </strong></p>
<p>E come in tutte le discipline del sapere, la conoscenza è il punto di partenza. Perché Socrate si sarà pure fatto rifilare la cicuta, ma non era mica un cretino <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Finita la filippica da guru da quattro soldi passo all&#8217;outfit di oggi: chic in spiaggia. Visto che siamo a giugno e le temperature non sono ancora tropicali ho pensato che un <strong>maxidress dalla stampa grafica</strong> e il mio cappello di paglia da diva comprato in una bottega artigianale pugliese, insieme a dei sandali bassi e ai miei muovi occhiali da gatta dal gusto mooolto retro fossero un giusto compromesso fra il desiderio di giocare a fare la diva americana in vacanza a Capri e la necessità di non scadere nel cattivo gusto dell&#8217;overdressed.</p>
<p>Le foto sono molte, lo so. Ma mi piace così tanto il mood che non sono riuscita a scartarne neanche una. Quanto alla cronaca della mia giornata al mare trovate tutto sul mio profilo instagram @myvintagecurves e su<a href="https://twitter.com/MyVintageCurves"> twitter</a> con l&#8217;hashtag #curvyonthebeach</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Curvy outfit of the day: polka dot shorts and a hat</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/moda-curvy-shorts.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3442" alt="shorts for curvy girls" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/moda-curvy-shorts.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never worn a pair of shorts in my life (except for when I was 10). But being a fashion blogger make me feel like I&#8217;m omnipotent <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
So here I am posing with a pair of polka dot shorts, showing my flabby legs at the age of 34, wearing flat sneakers, &#8217;cause I don&#8217;t need to slim down my figure <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Short are hard to wear, the prospect of wearing them can be scary,  because it&#8217;s so easy for curvy and plus size women to look vulgar in shorts, especially if  they have fat legs (like mine). But I think that they can be flattering on everyone, it’s just about finding the right shape and cut for your body, paying attention to  time and place.</p>
<p>I really appreciate the Stylish Curves effort called <a href="http://stylishcurves.com/breaking-all-the-rules-plus-size-women-in-short-shorts/">Breaking all the rules</a>. It&#8217;s so inspiring to see plus size women wearing shorts.</p>
<p>Break the rules: wear shorts! You don&#8217;t need an amazing body to do it, but an open mind.</p>
<p>I chose a pair of second hand polka dot shorts; they were pants in a previous life (I really don&#8217;t who the very first owner was), but supernonna cut them for my aunt, because she wanted to wear them on the beach. She never did it and they ended up in a box until today.<br />
I enjoyed refreshing them with a funny hat and an oversize sweater.</p>
<p>And you? Have a mind to wear short shorts this summer?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Non ho MAI indossato shorts in vita mia, almeno dall&#8217;età puberale in poi. Finché il blog mi ha inebriato con il suo delirio di onnipotenza.</p>
<p>Al grido di &#8220;Francamente me ne infischio&#8221; ho abbandonato ogni pudore e mi sono messa in braghe corte. A 34 anni. Con il fisico che mi ritrovo. Con le sneakers rasoterra, perché non ho mica bisogno di slanciarmi io!</p>
<p>Ora veniamo al perché l&#8217;ho fatto. Perché mi piace questo abbinamento, certo, ma anche per mostrarvi che lo potete fare anche voi. Gli shorts sono l&#8217;archetipo dell&#8217;indumento che una donna in carne non dovrebbe mai indossare. Eppure, come sempre, basta conoscere l&#8217;architettura del proprio corpo, imparare a equilibrare le proporzioni con volumi, colori e lunghezze, per ottenere risultati apprezzabili. E tener presente chi si è e dove ci si trova.</p>
<p>Sceglietevi un paio di pantaloncini adatti a voi, bermuda, culottes, mini shorts,  e abbinateli con fantasia, lasciate che la vostra personalità emerga più dei vostri difetti, sfidatevi. Tanto <strong>per essere belli non ci vuole il fisico, ma la testa!</strong></p>
<p>Io ho optato per una mise molto casual e scherzosa: cappello, tracolla e una maglia oversize pescata da qualche parte l&#8217;ultimo giorno di saldi.</p>
<p>E un paio di calzoncini a pois che in una delle loro vite precedenti erano pantaloni lunghi (di chi fossero non ho idea); supernonna li tagliò perché mia zia li indossasse per andare in spiaggia. Il mare non l&#8217;hanno visto neppure in cartolina, anzi sono finiti in uno scatolone per circa un decennio prima di rinascere a nuova curvy vita.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Photographic studies about self portrait and black and white</h2>
<p><a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/curvy-fashion-blogger.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3423" alt="black and white self portrait" src="http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/curvy-fashion-blogger.jpg" width="600" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>This is a preliminary examination. I&#8217;m studying self portrait&#8217;s tecniques for I a project I&#8217;m going to realize in the next future. This photos are totally self made with an entry level reflex and no assistants; I know they are imperfect and full of mistakes, but I decided to show you them as well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always been a super self critical person, to such a point that all the things I do, pieces of writing, sketches, photos, always wind up in the  garbage because of my endless revisions.</p>
<p>But since I&#8217;ve opened this blog something changed. I learned that <strong>perfection must be an ambition, not a way to destroy our creativity</strong>, so I want to use this<strong> blog as a creative workshop</strong>. I&#8217;m not interested in showing a shop window, anyone else could do it better than me, being more stylish and good looking. No matter if my photos, drawings and short stories are poor quality, the most important thing is that I&#8217;m studying and <strong>creating new stuff to improve</strong>; my blog is a <strong>work in progress space</strong> and you can be part of it, if you want!</p>
<p>I did other self portrait experiments before, about <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2012/06/man-ray-and-fashion.html">out of focus</a> and <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2012/10/make-up-for-dummies.html">shadows</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Quello che vi presento oggi è uno studio preliminare. Sono sempre stata una persona ipercritica nei confronti di me stessa e del mio lavoro (almeno al pari di quanto sono indulgente verso gli altri), al punto che ciò che scrivo, disegno, fotografo, passa attraverso una revisione così spietata che spesso finisce per distruggere totalmente il suo oggetto. Risultato: le cose finiscono accantonate, annientate dal mio spirito critico, rese inutili dalla mia assurda pretesa di farle diventare perfette.</p>
<p>Da quando ho il blog però ho cominciato a maturare una visione diversa: considerare questo non tanto una vetrina, quanto un laboratorio di idee, dove mostrare anche le prove, i bozzetti, i risultati intermedi. Fregandosene della loro inadeguatezza e imperfezione. Perché ho capito che se gli spunti non si coltivano con amore non cresceranno e che la perfezione dev&#8217;essere un&#8217;aspirazione e non una scure pronta a uccidere la creatività.</p>
<p>Questi scatti sono completamente autoprodotti, realizzati senza aiuti né dispositivi, solo io e una reflex entry level, post produzione ridotta al minimo (non mi ritocco, per la cronaca). Le foto sono piene di errori e piuttosto rudimentali, ma prendetele per quelle che sono: parte di uno studio per un più ambizioso <strong>progetto fotografico in bianco e nero</strong> che ho in mente di realizzare e di cui vi parlerò se riuscirò a condurlo in porto.</p>
<p>Ho già fatto altri esperimenti di autoscatto, per analizzare <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2012/10/make-up-for-dummies.html">ombre</a> e <a href="http://myvintagecurves.it/2012/06/man-ray-and-fashion.html">mosso</a>. Mi sa che vi dovrete sorbire anche altri esperimenti <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Per non venir meno al cliché del self made man anch&#8217;io, come i genietti dei film americani, comincio dalla cantina di casa.</p>

<p>About a month ago this <strong>blog</strong> had its<strong> first birthday</strong>. I didn&#8217;t forget it, but since I&#8217;m not definitely a celebrative person I decided to take my time a choose a day to swicht off my computer and turned on the real world I live in. For me this is the best way to celebrate me, my blog and all the things it represents.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want to talk about the always connected lifestyle of us bloggers or things like Amelie Poulain&#8217;s simple pleasures of sticking hands into a barrel of beans. I rather have in mind that scene of Manhattan in which Woody asks himself <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKTQ4a3BR5c">what makes life worth living</a></strong></p>
<p>So no balance sheets for me, only a simple, amazing<strong> day to tell you about</strong>.</p>
<p>7.00 AM Wake up and coffee. A ritual for me, to take it easy.</p>
<p>8.00 AM Tidy up time, a way to collate things and thoughts. Therapeutic</p>
<p>9:00 AM The sun agaist my windows! Jeans e sneakers, I&#8217;ve half a mind to bake a plumcake&#8230;</p>
<p>10:00 AM My 100% organic plumcake in in the oven. My oven is vintage as my blog and closet <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>11:00 AM Chamomile and mallow flower drying out on the sun, I&#8217;ll use them for my infusions during the long winter time. And I pick up strawberries. I adore strawberries!</p>
<p>1:00 PM Vintage lifestyle: a from farm to table lunch. Toasted bread with seasoned goat cheese and fresh browned fava beans. So Italian style! And ecofriendly</p>
<p>5.00 PM Tea break in my garden eating the plumcake I baked in the morning</p>
<p>7:00 PM One of those moment that really make life worth living: when you finished to read a book and you put it back in the bookcase looking for a new book to read&#8230;</p>
<p>9:00 PM I take my time to watch that movie I always wanted to watch but I couldn&#8217;t before.</p>
<p>My blog is more that a year old and it haven&#8217;t reached the goals I wished yet. But it&#8217;s beautiful like a wanted it to be and it symbolize me and my way of life. So it&#8217;s ok for now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Circa un mese fa questo blog ha compiuto un anno. Non me ne sono dimenticata, ma essendo anticelebrativa fin nel dna ho deciso di trovare un giorno qualsiasi e festeggiare questo traguardo come merita: spegnendo il pc.</p>
<p><strong>Il giorno che mi sono disconnessa da internet e mi sono connessa al mondo</strong>, così l&#8217;ho chiamato.</p>
<p>Non ve la tirerò per le lunghe con la storia dei blogger che vivono in completa simbiosi con la rete, costantemente connessi; né opporrò a questo modello la filosofia delle piccole cose nello stile di Amelie Poulain che infila le mani nel sacco dei fagioli. Piuttosto ho in mente quella<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edm6pnoTohA"> scena di Manhattan</a> in  cui Woody sdraiato sul divano elenca le cose per cui vale la pena di vivere.</p>
<p>Non farò bilanci sul mio primo anno di blogging e sul fatto che non sono ancora riuscita a &#8220;saltare il fosso&#8221; e a farne un lavoro vero e creativo.</p>
<p>Solo vi racconterò la mia giornata. Per immagini:</p>
<p>ORE 7.00 Sveglia e caffé. Un rito, per una volta celebrato con calma</p>
<p>ORE 8.00 Riordino armadio, casa e pensieri. Fare pulizia è terapeutico</p>
<p>ORE 9:00 Il sole dalla mia finestra! Jeans e sneakers, per prendersela comoda. Quasi quasi preparo un plumcake</p>
<p>ORE 10:00 Il mio plumcake bio é in forno. A casa mia anche la cucina è vintage <img src='http://myvintagecurves.it/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>ORE 11:00 Metto la camomilla e i fiori di malva a seccare al sole, li userò quest&#8217;inverno per i miei infusi. E raccolgo le fragole. Adoro le fragole!</p>
<p>ORE 13:00 Vintage come stile di vita, pranzo a km zero. Pane tostato con formaggio di capra appena scaldato e fave fresche scottate. Roba che non si trova al supermercato e neanche nei ristoranti. Tutte cose che posso trovare muovendomi a piedi fino al luogo di produzione.</p>
<p>ORE 17:00 Merenda plumcake in giardino</p>
<p>ORE 19:00 Il momento perfetto in cui finisci di leggere un libro e lo riponi nella libreria scegliendo il prossimo che leggerai. Come direbbe Woody, cose per cui vale la pena di vivere&#8230;</p>
<p>ORE 21:00 Un film che volevo vedere da tempo e che mi posso gustare senza lottare contro gli occhi che mi si chiudono.</p>
<p>Il blog ha più di un anno ormai e non ha ancora raggiunto i risultati che volevo. Ma è bello, è mio e parla di cose che amo. Per ora va bene così</p>
