Hello Steemit! Today is my second edition of my fashion blog edit. Even though i'm not a professional with regards to fashion, I'm really passionate about fashion blogging. Nowadays, fashion blogs are beginning to gain some traction and garner a respectable following online, I'm really lucky to have Steemit as a platform to share my fashion blogs and I hope it can give you some ideas on what you might like to wear!

Today's edit will be on a selection that I curated myself and is suitable for the ***Natural*** and ***Casual*** <b>spring / autumn styles</b> ^ ^
<h1>My Outfit</h1>

The female design motif has always been about exhibiting the female grace, and therefore they have a good reputation for designing clothes that give off sweetness. 

Their specialties are actually skirts and dresses but my pick today is a more sportier jacket sporting the iconic Ted Baker flower prints. This jacket is really soft and really thin, against the sun, it has a nice gloss to it which reflects under the light. The price is about £100 and I purchased this in Oxford's Bicester Village Outlet.</p></td></tr></center></table>

The floral patterns are very detailed and are often compared to the floral prints from higher end fashion houses like Givenchy. See the picture for a comparison. 

However, the price of the Givenchy jacket is up to 7 times more expensive, making Ted Baker a natural choice ^_^"

Despite searching everywhere, I haven't been able to find a similar piece to this dress from anywhere else. This is the same material and floral print but on a dress.

The source of inspiration for this piece comes from the dark magical and mysterious witch. This style of skirt can be classified under *Gothic Lolita* - its origins from the European Gothic Subculture. The women of the early Rococo aristocracy wore these kinds of clothes. Today, the style borrows Punk, Mystery, Decadence and Death themes which have evolved in part thanks to Japan's underground art movement incorporating these themes into their modern wardrobe.

The *Gothic Lolita* style should be considered an expression of form, it isn't limited to the styles you think of when mentioning *Gothic* and *Lolita* individually. My interpretation of this style infuses elements of Sweetness and Youth as well as the the more traditional mysteriousness. So, I've tried the popular Asian *Air Fringe* hair style to go with this outfit.

<h1> Shoes : Nike Woman </h1>

In 2016, Nike released a high top sock shoe called the "Nike LunarEpic Flyknit". I liked them the moment I saw them. Because the shoe is worn like a sock, it is very flexible and wraps around your feet exactly like a sock would. The design accentuates the length of your legs - always a good thing! 

Price is around £100 and I bought them in the Nike store in London's Westfield Shopping Centre.

The style is comparable to Rick Owens or Guidi, and features a similar high top design with snug fit. However, the price of Rick Owens or Guidi shoes can be up to 8 times the price of a Nike Sneaker.

Choosing the Nike was an easy choice, aside from it's value for money, I also really like the colour scheme of Black on Mint Green soles. It's understated yet stands out from the masses.

<h1>Why I chose these combinations? </h1>

You must be curious as to why i'd choose a classic and elegant sporty jacket to go with a Gothic Lolita skirt? Well, that's the skill of combination!

The half body skirt borrows the manga style of Gothic Lolita, whilst the Jacket draws parallels to the *Land of OZ Theme Park*. Two contradicting styles meshing together creating a new style!</p></td></tr></center></table>

The mint green soles and the turquoise green flowers in the jacket, pictured with a backdrop of green grass is a colour coded match. The Witch style skirt with it's uneven drape and contrasting black, draws the attention to the natural setting. 

The high top sneakers taking the place of the witch style leather boots, exude a natural and healthy sporty image which otherwise coupled with the contrasting apparel would diversify the overall look.</p></td></tr></center></table>

Steemit的朋友你们好，今天我想继续我的fashion博客，虽然我做的并没有很专业，但是我对时尚非常有热情。今天的这套服装是我自己独创的搭配，是比较自然随性的风格。

<b>我穿了什么？</b>
<b>上衣：Ted baker London</b>
Ted Baker英国时尚品牌 Ted Baker 成立于1988年的英国格拉斯哥。Ted baker女装一向以展示女性优雅风趣地一面为主题，所以大多是看上去非常sweet的裙装。而这一次我挑选了他们家少有的运动风格夹克，面料很薄，非常有光泽度，品质非常好，图案则是Ted Baker家经典的印花面料，价格大约100磅，购买于英国牛津郡的比斯特outlet购物村。

<b>裙子: Drhxin Studio by Taobao</b>
选择这条裙子的灵感来源于女巫，魔幻仙女的暗黑系风格。这种类型风格的裙子可以归类为哥特萝莉塔。它源自欧洲的哥特次文化——早期的洛可可风格的贵族妇女的服饰，大多与朋克、神秘、颓废、死亡等联系在一起，但之后被日本吸收并改造为不同的艺术风格。哥特式萝莉描述的只是一种衣着形象，而并不限于萝莉，我的理解是一种又可爱青春又神秘的风格。所以我变换成当下亚洲最流行的空气刘海发型来配合这次着装。

<b>鞋子：Nike woman</b>
Nike在2016独创了高帮袜子面料的鞋型，我在试了之后我非常喜欢。因为是袜子的面料，所以穿起来非常贴合脚的形状，也显得小腿修长。它的价格大约在100磅，购于伦敦的Westfiled商场。它的风格类似Rick Owens或者Guidi，它们主打非常贴合皮肤的高帮皮靴，但是价格大概是这双Nike的8倍。所以我选择Nike，它还有一个亮点就是在于它黑色的鞋子搭配薄荷绿色的鞋底，非常与众不同。

<b>为什么这样搭配？</b>
你一定会好奇，看上去典雅清新的运动夹克怎么可以搭配女巫风格的裙子？搭配技巧来了！
半身裙就像漫画里哥特萝莉，夹克则让我想起绿野仙踪主体公园。这是完全不同的两种风格的撞击。
鞋底的绿色和夹克上的绿色，背景草地的绿色相配。这让女巫风的裙子更加贴近大自然的感觉。而高帮的跑步鞋代替了原本搭配女巫风的皮靴，散发出一种健康运动的感觉，让完全不相干的风格元素很好的融合在一起。
