Proud & happy

“It’s never too late to follow your dreams.” – I’ve read somewhere.

I know I wasn’t the only person in the world who’s in love with fashion but who’s life has gone the different way. I work as a teacher of German language for twelve years now. You know the lines like: “You have to be realistic, you need to live in the real world, fashion is just a dream, you’ll never succeed…” and there was life happening and somehow I pressed my greatest passion somewhere deep into my subconscious.

Until one day when I randomly found the official site of British college of Professional styling. I bookmarked it right away. And that was it – the spark which started the old flame. I knew I should go for it. And I was right.

This course enriched my life in many ways. First of all, I gained all the necessary knowledge about styling. I mean, the practical and technical stuff you simply have to know if you want to start a career as a professional stylist. It seems like a lot of theory, but it was nothing like that. I literally couldn’t wait for the next tutorial to come. It was that interesting to me. Really.

Then, my tutor. I am teacher myself and I know what work with people means and I’m nothing but grateful for her guidance. When I read the feedback from her, I knew exactly where I did good and where I did wrong, but not even once I felt to be criticized or demotivated. That was very important to me.

Finally, the assignments. I really enjoyed the assignments. I had to do all of those researches about fashion history, greatest designers, celebrities… All along I was developing my own taste and style. You know, no one can teach you to have style or good taste. You either have got it or not. But this course can teach you how to go outside your comfort zone, how to try something different. I know I did and I don’t regret it. Also, I met some amazing people during preparing the assignments and started new friendships. How great is that? And on top of all that, I had a lot of fun!
