Being brave in experimenting with your style
Updated: Apr 1, 2021
We’re back with news! To inspire you to combine different styles and to style your clothes simply and easy we are introducing a new section #samebutdifferent! Here our favourite stylists, bloggers and influencers will show and advise how the same clothes can be easily mixed and matched with several outfits, how to create different looks with the same piece and to be brave in experimenting with your style.
SIMONA SENKAUSKAITE - fashion stylist, professional, style diva is presenting to you her outfits and is answering our questions. She has chosen our blue “DON’T PANIC GO ORGANIC” sweatshirt for her styling ideas.
1. Sweatshirt +…= Perfect Combo// What is the first garment/accessory that is coming to your head that you would pair this sweatshirt with?
- The favourite shoes.
2. What is the clothing item you would never wear with this sweatshirt?
- I doubt there is a garment or accessory that would not fit or would ruin the outfit. Maybe I would avoid matching extremely different colour tones to this sweatshirt.
3. Reject/ Confirm the following favourite myth of the customers: a sweatshirt is a sports / leisure garment.
- Ha, of course I deny this myth and I am glad to see more and more sports/leisure clothes adapted to everyday life on the streets. I believe there are no more rules for fashion.
4. Sustainable fashion - what does it mean to you?
- Care.
5. What fashion trends are your eyes currently focusing on?
- I am currently experimenting with the content of my closet, looking for new inspirations, trying to find it in the different decades of fashion, in the music of that time, rather than concentrating on certain trends.

Outfit #1 I have chosen this look to play with the contrast, materiality and colour. I wanted to show that a bold colour leisure sweatshirt can be easily adapted to a “more festive” style, to give it a little charm.
Outfit #2 I have chosen the classic black suit to wear with a blue sweatshirt because I wanted to show that it’s possible to add a little “sporty” spice to the classic outfit, while maintaining its stylistics.

There is something approachable about discussing making online tutoring sessions effective through situations people can actually picture. A clear question before a session can help the learner use the available time well. It makes me curious about the practical side of online tutoring support. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How would you check that a tutoring explanation has actually become understandable?
Considering sharing the everyday questions of parenthood, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Small concerns can be easier to discuss when parents hear that others have similar questions. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of parenting support discussions. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What makes a parenting discussion feel helpful rather than competitive?
What draws my attention to building management skills through practical situations is the possibility of making an unfamiliar subject feel closer to everyday life. A realistic scenario can expose how different decisions affect a team's work. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about management skills training. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. Which situations are most useful for practising management before taking responsibility for a team?
The topic of using familiar characters in preschool learning gives me a few things to think about, especially when the discussion moves beyond general advice. A familiar character can make a new classroom routine feel easier to approach. I would use that point as a starting question when considering preschool storytelling activities. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can a story character support learning while leaving children room to create?
Considering developing a reflective approach to learning, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Looking back at a task can reveal which part was difficult and which strategy helped. Seen this way, reflective learning habits becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can reflection remain practical rather than becoming another form to complete?
