JANUARY RECAP - 10 OUTFITS I LOVED WEARING

Hello! Today I'm back with a selection of outfits I wore this January. I enjoyed wearing all of these and today I'll share them. Some of these outfits are a bit similar in style, but that's alright because I like re-wearing things and shopping my closet.  One of the things I love about clothes is that it has the ability to tell stories. I love creating memories with my clothing items. I find it easier to style clothing items when I've had them for a while. It's like I need time to get to know them. Moreover, when there is an item I love, then I wear it often. You may call be sentimental, but at least I'm sustainable in my fashion choices.  I will also show you some fun Herzegovina destinations that you might want to visit once the travel restrictions are lifted. The links in this post will take you to previous posts, that's how I'm starting to link things up. I'm doing this linking thing to give you more fashion inspiration but also to point out how often I re-wear things and for how long I've had some clothing items. So, let's get started.

OUTFIT #1- DRESSED FOR THE SNOW

This is an outfit I wore when we decided to look for the snow in the mountains near Mostar. As you can see, we managed to find some snow. We stopped for lunch in a restaurant in village Goranci. We anticipated there might be snow there, but there no snow in the village (the lunch was great, though) hence we drove on. Only a ten minute drive from the village we managed to find lots of snow. I was as happy as a little child. The mountains were very cold but also amazing beautiful and inspiring. I'm grateful to my husband for fulfilling my wish. I wore my trusted magenta coat, a pair of cord jeans, high brown boots and a new bag from Borsa shop. I paired this warm combo with a red cap and a tartan scarf. 

OUTFIT #2 DRESSED FOR RAIN AT SPANISH SQUARE IN MOSTAR

Bellow you can see an outfit I wore for a walk around Mostar town. I paired my trusted brown coat with a black vintage dress, thermal zebra leggings, a pair of brown boots and a brown bag. All of these items I've had for a while. I never do get tired of shopping my closet. 

OUTFIT 3# STROLLING BY NERETVA RIVER WEARING MY ART

The outfit you can see bellow is one that I wore for a long walk around the city. I wore a t-shirt with a fashion illustration print that isn't very visible because I wore a grey blazer over it (you can purchase similar t-shirts via my art account at Redbubble) The heel of these Šimecki boots is quite high but they are one of the most comfortable boots ever. I'm afraid that one of these days they will fall apart, but as long as they remain wearable I'm going to wear them. 

OUTFIT 4# VISITING MEĐUGORJE IN MY TEDDY BEAR COAT

Bellow is an outfit I wore on the first day of year 2021. My husband and I have this tradition we call 'tour de Herzegovina'. We drive around on the first day of the New Year, visiting different places in our region. It is always peaceful to be strolling around on the first day of the new year. Anyhow, here I paired by vintage teddy bear coat with a tartan scarf, a grey dress, a pair of brown boots, zebra leggings, a black mini dress and an umbrella. I needed the umbrella because it was raining for most of that day. 

OUTFIT #5 IN FRONT OF KARTING KLUB RESTAURAN IN MOSTAR 

This is an outfit I wore for a lunch with my husband in a cult restaurant in Mostar. I wore a white foklore blouse, a beige coat, a floral skirt, a mini black bag and a new pair of boots I picked up in Borsa store in Mostar. I was in quite a good mood when there photographs were taken. I did this hairstyle myself (probably you're not surprised to learn that as I enjoy styling my own hair).

OUTFIT #6 STROLLING MOSTAR CITY DRESSED IN COBALT BLUE 

I love the colours of this outfit. I wore a burgundy hat, a brown coat, a brown bag and black Šimecki boots. The rest of my outfit is cobalt blue. The blue skirt is vintage and the sweater is old. I felt very chic in this styling. I think this might be my favourite look among these January outfits. 

OUTFIT #7 BLACK CHIC FOR A COFFEE DATE AT AN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN MOSTAR 

This is an outfit I wore for a coffee date with my husband at the University campus at Mostar. It was a lovely sunny day and we had a delightful time. I wore an Uzor dress paired with a black puffer and high brown boots. I have worn these brown boots a lot this January, haven't I?  Perhaps I should do a plus thirty wear posts with them to mark them as a sustainable item in my closet. 

OUTFIT #8 SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE

Speaking of thirty wears, I think I might have reached 30 wears with this magenta coat so expect a post to celebrate its 'sustainable status' in my closet some time soon. Besides the coat, here you can see me wearing my heeled camel boots (more that 40 wears), zebra leggings, grey dress (I think) and an oversize blue scarf that was a gift from Ely.

OUTFIT #9 A NEW HAT TO MATCH MY BEIGE COAT 

The hat is new and it cost me only fifty cents. I wasn't planning on buying anything new but when I saw it, I thought why not? I wore my blue skirt once again and accessorized with statement earrings. This is an outfit I wore for a visit to a graveyard. It was the death anniversary of my mother-in-law. I never met her because she died before I ever met my husband. I made this bouquet myself. It is a mixture of real greens I picked around the house and an artificial rose. 

OUTFIT #10  WHAT I WORE FOR A VISIT TO KRAVICE FALLS

I wore this outfit on the first day of the new year. In fact, if you look closely, you'll see that it is almost the same as outfit #4, the one I wore for a visit to Međugorje. On that same day, we also visited the famous Kravica waterfalls.  I love this area so much. Herzegovina is full of wonders. 

Thank you so much for reading and visiting. Take care and stay safe. <3
