Outfit post (casual) / Odjevna objava (ležerno)






hat: no name, scarf: a gift, bag: borsa, coat: Tally Weijl, jeans: gift, shoes: neosens





There was a time in my life when I refused to wear jeans. I banished them from my closet and wore only skirts and dresses (and suit trousers). That phase lasted for a year or two. Nowadays, I love my jeans and casual outfits. However, I  think that this 'no jeans' phase was ultimately beneficial for me as it helped me develop my own personal style. Furthermore, it made me try new things, look at clothes from another perspective. Jeans can be great but it is easy for them to become a sort of uniform for everyday. Sometimes limitations can be really liberating. Sometimes all we have to do is to break our routine a little bit.

Postojalo je vrijeme kada sam odbijala nositi traperice. Izbacila sam ih iz ormara i nosila samo suknje i haljine ( i hlače od odjela). Ta je faza trajala godinu ili dvije. Danas, volim svoje traperice i ležerne odjevne kombinacija. Ipak mislim da je ta  faza 'bez traperica' bila korisna za mene po pitanju razvijanje osobnog stila. Navela me da isprobam nove stvari, gledam na odjeću iz neke nove perspektive. Traperice mogu biti sjajne, ali lako postaju neka vrsta uniforme za svaki dan. Ponekad ograničenja mogu biti jako oslobađajuća. Ponekad je sve što trebamo malo razbiti rutinu.

  1. You are BACK, yay! Good to see you posting again, Ivana, hope your weekend went well. I love jeans, don't think I can be without them however, I am a little tired of wearing them constantly for winter. I also love skirt however, I have never been a dress person. Maybe I'm still traumatized by the fact my mother loves to dress me in the most ridiculer princess dresses when I was younger. LOL!

    1. my mother tried that but failed...I liked wearings skirts as a kid but styled in a more tomboy fashion. She always talks about how I ruined her lifelong dreams of having a cute baby girl you can dress anyway you like:)

  4. Thinking about it after I read your post - yes, the same is true for me! Don't wear jeans at the moment, no idea why..... so I have to think more about my outfits. Merit of the blog, maybe.
    Love that you wear that kind of cap, I have some but no courage to put them on....will think of you as soon as it becomes colder and do it!!! :)))

  6. That hat is adorable and you are so lovely! I wear jeans quite often but I am not a big fan of them in fashion. They are sort of like putting mud tires on a sports car, useful, sure, sturdy, sure, but fashion? Maybe :)

    1. I know what you mean...I think we all get bored of seeing them (perhaps more bored of seeing them than of actually wearing them).

  11. Anche io ho avuto una fase simile, anzi ce l'ho ancora, i jeans li indosso ancora spesso, ma mi piace indossare di più gonne, vestiti e pantaloni del completo!

  21. It is true jeans can easily become a uniform and that's because they are so easy to style and i guess i have an obsession. I should try it one day. Meanwhile, you look gorgeous and warm in your outfit :)). Beautiful post.

  22. Dear Ivana, how good that you finally came back to the jeans as you can wear them in the best possible way! But I can imagine that you are right that the time in your life without jeans helped you indeed to develop your personal style - which I really like as far as your outfit of today. Hopefully it is not too cold in your region at the moment, at least I see here that you have the stuff to keep you warm :)

  26. Ja se sećam kako smo u srednjoj školi svi masovno nosili farmerke pa i danas je to nešto što najviše viđam na ljudima. Ja ih jako volim ali sam takođe odlučila da dam šansu i drugoj odeći i naravno, nisam pogrešila! ;)
    Mnogo mi se sviđa torba, baš je divna žuta nijansa a poslednja slika mi je <3 :)

  29. Slažem se sa svime što si napisala. Ja se u srednjoj nisam skidala iz traperica i nisam ni znala što bih nosila da nisu postojale iste. s vremenom sam ih potpuno izbacila jer su mi bile nekako dosadnjikave. Sada, od kada su se pojavile boyfriend modeli - opet ih obožavam i samo bi u njima hodala. Zvučati se smiješno, ali ništa mi ne bude toliko sexy kao žena u prevelikim trapkama i štiklama! :)
    Torbica ti je odlična kao i kapica i preslatko ti stoji! Zadnja fotkica je <3

    1. danas stvarno imamo sreće jer postoji toliko raznovrsnih krojeva traperica na raspolaganju, prije smo bili puno više ograničeni, a opet sam stalno visila u njima:)
