Day dreamer

If don’t have a good mood, how could I saw the sunshine around me?
Some people said, if given too much, it may not a happy thing to others, but a border, a kind of stress, she or him not ready for this. So just keep your dignity and love yourself even you are real fall in love with someone.
The bad things is once you in a love story, you always cannot hold your feeling, happiness is a kind of feeling, you are happy when you with someone, but it is not the same for your person, that can make one thing clear, she/he is not that into you. So how you keep the relationship, may you think about give up, whatever, it is really hard to handle this matter, the sad mood will always with you if cannot unfold the knot. Right?
But how?
Learn how to be a “Happiness independent” person, no matter when , where, we should keep our mind, keep our dignity, love is fine, is the best thing in the world, but don’t devaluated ourselves cause of love, cause if that happened, it could said your love is not the happy thing. Second, when we grow up, our situation become more and more complicated, it seems you know more people, but actually who is the one you really know? It is don’t matter, on the opposite, who knows you? Do you know yourself?
Back to the beginning, don’t give your whole love to someone even you really want, love is a game, need the method to give a better way to get more score, do save your love for yourself, if you don’t love yourself, how could you want the others love you, right?
I am always imagine my future life, the old life, in my garden, along the rock road, there are 2 chair under the old tree, it should be the summer night, with the bright moon, or the beauty sunset, 2 cup of tea, with the elegant smile, and my grandchildren play around the garden with the shinning laughter…shit, I am dreaming again, back to the earth, back to the earth…lalallal…

   Has a soft spot for Cheongsam, hanging from a closet on Baiduan Cheongsam, cuffs and collar trim blue lake, necks at a lake dotted with blue roses. Many years ago this tailored Cheongsam, waist fit, I have it as standard, and when it can be freely put on the description of the compliance body size. Just the beginning of summer wearing it to work, ever since out of the house would attract much attention;The company's leadership met with the smiling asked, you are going to dinner tonight, what to wear so beautiful? Colleagues met with cries, do you want to wear so beautiful?  Along the way many people look at you. I smiles, I go head held high, do not look at them; let them hit the tree to go! My vanity was great to meet, laugh into a flower.
   I remember the first time put it, looking at herself in the mirror, the mirror suddenly feel the woman, because of this Cheongsam and look up the style, elegant, elegant, charming and elegant. Tall figure, slender waist, just right, not the least bit extra space, that moment, shocked to find themselves with enchanting side. Not every woman is suited to wear a Cheongsam, no clothing cheongsam more critical than the woman's body. After giving birth, this Cheongsam has been quietly hanging in the closet, every time I see it is a sigh, I really miss the past, remember it's style and wearing style. Free hanging for a few years, until recently wore to the body again, still perfect; curl Tingting in the gift of a woman's charm.
   One such image like: South of the woman, wearing a silk Cheongsam, insisted on a paper umbrella, walking in the white walls and gray tile stone alleys, rain, drop, drop to drift with, dark sky in small purple and lily fragrance from around the ... ... cheongsam, wearing demure woman in that delicate body, is the Cheongsam's fate. Also like the mixing of the afternoon, there are cicadas in the Ming, a cherry red and green banana, as well as charming incense burner incense, a woman wearing a Cheongsam, curls from the courtyard pavilion Scattered to the study, open wire-bound poetry, sad with no reason, inexplicable sadness of his thoughts.
  Geshi the United States, feel more beautiful.
Cheongsam is beautiful; wear it in for people who wear more beautiful. However, the end is the Cheongsam has many limitations, binding, not often wear, and day wear. Homemade clothes casual, comfortable, modern fashion and individuality, these are the Cheongsam can not be substituted. A favorite Cheongsam more like a beautiful story, a long long time to remain in the bottom of my heart. It is quietly hanging in the closet, occasionally wore, the beautiful to them, because it is so personal and intimate.

Chinese fashion and accessories

In the 1920s, the cheongsam underwent a change with the influence of western styles. The cuffs grew narrower and were usually trimmed with thin lace. The length of the dress was shortened as well. This new adaptation allowed the beauty of the female body to be fully displayed.
In the 1930s, wearing a cheongsam became a fashion among women in the whole China. Various styles existed during this period. Some were short. Some were long, with low, high or even no collars at all.
Starting from the 1940s, cheongsams became closer-fitting and more practical. In summer, women wore sleeveless dress. Cheongsams of this period were seldom adorned with patterns.
The cheongsam didn’t become standard female attire until the 1960s. Following western fashion, the tailors raised the hem, even to above the knee, so that the “long” was no longer long. In the west, during the sexual revolution of the 1960s, the style was deemed something oppressive, like the Victorian bodice.
In western popular culture, the cheongsam became synonymous with the 1960 movie character Suzie Wong and the sexual objectification of women.
The cheongsam goes mainstream
Today, with it’s varies of styles, the cheongsam shows its charm at many markets. More and more women in China appreciate its beauty. For instance, when wives of China’s diplomas attend important social gatherings, the cheongsam is their first choice among dress. In fact, quite a number of influential people have suggested that cheongsam should become the national dress for women in China. This shows that the cheongsam remains a vibrant part of Chinese culture.
Wearing a cheongsam nowadays has turned into something of a vogue, both at home and abroad. Due to its elegance and classical looks the cheongsam becomes a source of inspiration for fashion designers. World-renowned brands like CD (Christian Dior), Versace, and Ralph Lauren have all cited some cheongsam elements in their designs. Many foreign women are eager to get themselves a cheongsam should they visit China. Cheongsam is no longer a garment particular to Chinese women, but is adding to the vocabulary of beauty for women all over the world.

I was always surprised by the excellent talent of those people in ancient time, but no more than the surprise and admire to their designers. The slight Chinese cheongsam has already become the feature and representative of the Chinese female, no matter where I was, only if I saw the elegant women with the slight Qipao, a touched moving will remember with affection from the deep in my heart. Under the slight Cheongsam, or Qipao, was the full-rich beauty of Chinese culture.
Can not control the love of Qipao, the May of this year, I hold the long desired Qipao with a pious attitude, the slight pattern , the fantastic manual work, once again I dropped into my imagination, in some where, dressing the pretty Qipao, with a pair of blue heel, stop on the rock road with some tiny moss, walking thru with the gentle movement, there were a great shadow fall down from the thick leaves of the old tree, standing on the bridge, with the shining smile I always had, I saw the maiden walking to me, swing with shining smile, yelled to me gently, I know, the magic of the ancient Chinese culture was spread already. Even the top grade jewelry cannot pass the noble and melodious of Qipao.
Floating clouds dancing with the gentle wind, blue sky whispering with the lake ripple, waving on a boat with my loved man, nestled close to his warm arm, listening the bright sounds made from the crack of paddle touched the water. My loved him tell me the romantic love stories, the gentle wind plucked his hair, with the faintly distant piano, this moment, just this moment, the soft picture, perhaps only dressing the Qipao can make it so appropriate.
When we walk to the world, do not forget the essence culture behind the flow of fragrant. The slight Qipao, but it reflects a deep sense of Chinese beauty. Not all the fashion and trends can be the best but only the oldest treasure after the long test of time. I love the Qipao dress, love the the feeling of touch, more love the beauty of China.
