Style crush: Selena Gomez

Kada vas ljudi zapamte po nečemu određenom i konstantno vas za to vezuju, teško je naterati ih da vas gledaju drugačije bez obzira na to koliko ste se promenili. Mnogo puta sam to primećivala na primeru sebe, ali to se dešava i poznatima, jer bez obzira šta mi "mali ljudi" mislimo o njima, ni oni nisu savršeni i bezbrižni, i iako njihovi životi deluju besprekorno na prvi pogled, njih muče isti problemi kao i nas, ako ne i gori. Najbolji primer za to su Disney zvezde koje su odrasle kroz filmove i serije namenjene mlađoj publici. Međutim, i oni odrastu pre ili kasnije i ne mogu se doveka ponašati, niti izgledati kao junaci sa kojima smo ih godinama poistovećivali. To što su odrastali pred kamerama ne znači da treba da ostanu takvi zauvek, niti je to moguće, da se ne lažemo. U želji da njihove karijere napreduju i da se prikažu kao odrasle osobe koje su za sobom ostavile dečije i tinejdžerske emisije često pribegavaju drastičnim promenama imidža i ponašanja koje se u velikom broju slučajeva ne završe dobro. Najveći deo naših života čine naši izbori, i kad neko odabere glamurozan način da odraste nikako ne može da pogreši.
Dobar primer za to je ona: Selena Gomez. Mnogi od nas je pamte kao čarobnicu Alex Russo iz serije The Wizards of Waverly Place, sa obećavajućom karijerom u glumi i muzici koju je velikim delom stvorila kuća Disney. Sada kada je objavila svoj najnoviji album Revival, odrasla i pretvorila se u jednu lepu, samouverenu mladu ženu postala je moja inspiracija. Zahvaljujući njenoj stilistkinji Kate Young, Selena se pojavljuje u kreacijama koje su znatno ozbiljnije, glamuroznije i izazovnije, ali su njena neprikosnovena lepota i mladost i dalje u prvom planu. Tačno je da ona često nosi odeću dubokog dekoltea, izreze na leđima, a neretko i kratke suknje i šortseve, ali ona ih ne nosi tako da je to degradira. Naprotiv, ona ih nosi sa neprikosnovenim dostojanstvom.
Ženstvenost i samopouzdanje kojim odiše njen stil su ujedno i ciljevi kojima težim u sopstvenom odevanju, i nadam se da će ova godina biti i moj preporod kao što je bila njen.


Once people remember you by something specific and constantly link you to that, it's hard to make them see you differently no matter how much you've changed. I've seen it on myself so many times, but it also happens to celebrities because, no matter what us "little people" think about them, they aren't perfect and careless either, and although their lives seem flawless at first glance, they are bothered by the same issues and problems that we have, if not even worse. The best example for that are Disney stars who grew up in movies and series meant for a younger audience. However, they grow up sooner or later too, and they can't act or look like the characters we related them to forever. Just because they grew up on camera doesn't mean they should stay the same, and nor is that possible, to be honest. In an attempt to move on with their careers and present themselves as adults who left those children/teenager shows behind they often make drastic changes to their looks and behavior that often don't end well. The greatest part of our lives is made of our choices, and when someone picks a glamorous way to grow up they can never go wrong.
The best example for that is her: Selena Gomez. Many of us remember her as the wizard Alex Russo from The Wizards of Waverly Place series, with a promising career in acting and music that Disney took the greatest part in. Now that she published her most recent album Revival, grew up and turned into a beautiful, confident young woman she became an inspiration for me. Thanks to her stylist Kate Young, Selena often appears in outfits that are significantly more mature, glamorous and provocative, but her undeniable beauty and youth are still in the overall focus. True, she often wears clothes with a deep cleavage, cutout in the back, and sometimes even short skirts and shorts, but she doesn't wear them in a way to downgrade her. On the contrary, she wears them with unquestionable dignity.
The feminine touch and confidence that her style often shows are also the goals that I tend to incorporate into my own wardrobe, and I hope that this year will be my revival, just like it was for her.
