How to style a summer dress? Kako nositi ljetnu haljinu?

Making the most out of your closet is always a good idea, wouldn't you agree? Even a simple summer dress can offer so many possibilities. Today I'm showing you how I styled this particular dress in two seasons: Winter and Spring. Now, this is a true summer dress but with a little bit of layering, it really can be worn in any season.

Iskoristi što više moguće odjeću iz ormara je uvijek dobro, zar ne? Jedna ljetna haljinica, a može sadržavati toliko mogućnosti. Danas ću vam pokazati kako sam ovu haljinu nosila u proljeće (prošle godine) i zimu (ove godine). Iako je zapravo posve ljetna, uz malo slojevitog odijevanja može se nositi u svakoj sezoni.

Spring (last April)

Winter (this February)

Proljeće (travanj prošle godine)

Zima (veljača)

    Fenomenalno! Jedna ista haljina može da bude nepresušan izvor inspiracije. Rekla sam ti već koliko volim da nosim letnje haljine i tokom ostalih godišnjih doba :)

    Bella idea per sfruttare al massimo quello che abbiamo nell'armadio, a volte basta solo inventarsi un mix diverso!

    I would've thought that your spring look's shirt and dress was part of one thing! I love how you layered that seamlessly... dark colors to contrast the red and pink tones from that dress. I would love to do that sometime with a girly dress and a structured blazer ;-)


    It's so hard for me to set aside summer/spring clothes, because probably like you, I use them pretty much all year!

    Lovely looks!

    That is a very lovely dress on you, Ivana! I must admit that I don't own anything floral, I find that I look like an overgrown plant in it. On another note, I honestly don't own many dresses, I really should make more effort in wearing more of it instead of just pants.

    Love the layering, definitely a versatile way to wear the dress and you get many use out of it. Great job!

    You are definitely making the most of your closet with this look. That dress is really pretty on you and the way you've styled it for cooler weather is really fresh compared to how you wear it in the summer. I wish I were better about wearing my summer clothes when it's cold but the weather has been so cold it would just mean too many layers so I've been sticking with my cashmere sweaters this winter haha.

    this post shows the right way to handle some clothings. i like it to grab a piece of fashion and stick it together with any other kind of fashion - this is such a challenge and makes a lot of fun - do you agree?

    on your pics you show us, that women can even wearing a summer dress in autumn. i like the idea of using a dress like this on different seasons. BUT you life in a warmer place like i do, so you can do this (maybe) in winter time - i must wear a warm coat...;-)

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

SUMMER TO AUTUMN TRANSITION 2024 (SPLIT CITY)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk about Summer to Autumn transition. It's actually one of my favourite seasonal transitions, because it allows us to easily play with layers and textures. Early Autumn is that magical time when you can wear a sweater or a light jacket over your summer dress and call it a day.  As the days get colder, we'll need more layering but we can still draw from that Summer inspiration.  How to keep Summer in our hearts even when the Autumn arrives? Well, think of all the positive things that you associate with Summer and then figure out how you can keep them in Autumn. That's what I'm trying to do for myself. Not to stress about the seasonal change, but rather to embrace it. For example, this particular post has been long in the making. I started it this Summer and planned to post about the summer outfits I wore while in Split city. However, as Summer turned to Autumn, I found myself with some new looks. So, I dec

THE WILD GIRLS, A STORY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello fellow bloggers and/or blog readers! In this post, I'll share my review for Ursula K. Le Guin short story The Wild Girls . Published in 2011, this powerful short story tells a touching tale of slavery , trauma , loss and survival. Sisterly love is at the core of this immensely sad, complex and profound story. If you want to read an intelligent and multifaceted story focused on female characters, and set in a dystopian society, look no further. Don't expect a happy ending, though! This is not that kind of story. I actually listened to this short story (that isn't so short, it sorts of feels like a novella). I planned to listen to it while I do Pilates, but I wasn't aware of how serious and tragic the story truly was. I've read an awful lot of Le Guin's writing, so I know her writing can be ambitious, complex and challenging. Still, I wasn't prepared for the complex sadness of this story.  Needless to say, I didn't finishing my Pilates routine that d

SHADOW AND BONE BY LEIGH BARDUGO (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I shall review Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo ,  the first novel in the Shadow and Bone trilogy. Published in 2012, Shadow and Bone is a young adult fantasy novel featuring a young female protagonist Alina Starkov who tries to find her way in a world troubled by war and class divisions. The novel is set in Ravka, a fantasy world inspired by feudal Russia, but still unique in its own way. The world Alina Starkov inhabits has its own mythology and magic, and the worldbuilding is quite interesting. For example, there are Grishas, people who have magical powers, that are partly based on study of science and partly on instinct. While the organization of power is feudal, with a corrupt monarch and nobility, there's mention of higher education and even science.  I actually got introduced to this series through listening to music on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I heard about this fantasy series (especially on  goodreads), but someho

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed
