About me and the blog

Though my blog name contains word "fashion" it is not exactly about fashion. Rather, it is about my personal style and about how people dress across the globe. Hence, additional word "local" in the blog name. Dress is a broad category that includes clothing, jewelry and accessories such as hats, shoes, bags. Hairstyles, make-up, tattooing, piercings and other body modifications can also be put into this category.
My love for studying dress started in my 20s. After getting married at the age of 19 I had to follow my husband whose job required much travelling at the time. So, the next decade I spent moving from one country to another. Mostly, those were Asian countries: Thailand, Malaysia, China, Singapore, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka. During those journeys it was inevitable to meet local people who often were dressed absolutely differently from what I used to see in my home country Belarus. Some costumes fascinated me with their stunning embellishment, others amused with their ridiculousness , thirds mesmerised with amount and unusualness of accompanying jewelry. I got curious at first. I wanted to know more. I started to study the topic. And the more I learnt the more fascinated I became. And thus my love and passion for dress study was born.

Nowadays I reside in Nepal and don't travel much, just occassionally. Means I have more time for research, writing and sharing with you.

Thank you for your visit and hope you will come again.

Have a nice day!
