10 things I never ever imagined I would wear...

Today something different my friends. I've picked out a few outfits (or better to say items of clothing and fashion/style choices) that I would have never ever had imagined that I would wear (and do).

 1. Cowboy hat.
Yup, this is the one that I didn't see coming. I could have never imagined myself wearing a cowboy hat. Period. Under any conditions...What can I say? Our tastes change with years...





2. Pink and red together (and purple?)...(and a blazer over a long cardigan!?)

Pink and red used to be a no-no for me...Today I wear these two colours together without thinking about it at all. In fact, I like to mix all kinds of colours together, especially the ones that I didn't used to. That's life, our sense of style changes...and yes...short blazer and a long cardigan? This is not what I believed layering should look like...but oh how my tastes have changed.


3. My brother's old denim shirt.
Well, I was never especially crazy about denim...Sure, I wore jeans like everyone else ( I still do) but I never was crazy about denim shirts. Now, I just love to see them and so many fashion bloggers really wear them in such inspiriting ways that I'm thinking of doing one post only about that.  Anyway, about this shirt...one day, cleaning my closet, I found this one and I thought to myself: This is the denim shirt for you...



4. A jacket in which I look like a bear
I never had anything against puffers, but something like this? It's not flattering, it's not stylish, it's not tailored... and on top of all, it's from at freaking men's department! However, it's warm and with a belt...and bears are kind of cute, right?




5. A ski jacket and a pencil skirt
Pencil shirt can go with many things, but a ski jacket? I never go skiing, I'm terrified of any cold as my blood is all Mediterranean and always craves for sunshine and the sea...but I figured out that clothes made for skiing is some really good quality stuff! and it keeps you sooo warm!


6. Old faux fur coat
It's been in closet for years (had been there since before I came into this world probably) but one day (we had unexpected snow) I took it out and realized it is really warm. After that I couldn't stop wearing it. Let's be frank, I was probably just waiting an excuse to do it...Don't you just love when something you like becomes fashionable? and I do love faux fur.





7. Above the knee socks
It is not that I didn't used to be a fan, I just never knew about them...or thought about them... but now I just love them. They're just so girly and fun...





8. These kind of sleeves- Bat sleeves 
I forgot what they're called like. Bat sleeves perhaps?..used to be all the rave in the 8o-ties...never really like them. One day I got this cute blue sweater...Now I like them, and it is as simple as that.




9. Blond hair...
I never had a desire to be a blond. With my pitch black eyebrows and skin tone it's not exactly an obvious choice. Until one day Ivana (you'll have to get used to the fact that most of my friends have the same name as myself) decided to turn me into one. I still think I'm not meant to be a blond, but it was fun. I was a blond for two full years!!!




10. Leopard leggings
To be honest, I never saw the leggings coming...One day there were just there. Once they were here, I knew that we won't have them just in plain black. However, if there is one thing that I didn't imagine myself wearing it was this...leopard leggings. A few years back I would think it was something that only Peggy (Love and Marriage) would wear. I guess I was wrong;)


That would be all folks!
Sure I could name a few other things, but I think this sums it up rather nicely....Now, you tell me? What fashion choices that you had made over the years surprised even yourself?

    Ne mogu vjerovati da si dvije godine bila plava! Ali čini mi se da ti je baš dobro stajala :) i ja sam dugo bila plava, ali sam na kraju odustala jer sam se svakih par tjedana morala farbati, a to me silno nervira. I kosa mi se bila skroz osušila, ko metla je bila :D

    Predobar post, baš sam se nasmijala od srca ( a danas sam baš nekako bljuf pa mi je dobro došlo :))... Ni je ne mogu vjerovati da si bila plava, daj pokaži još koju fotku jer i meni se baš sviđa... Zanimljivo je to kako nam se ukus promijeni s godinama kao i to "nikad ne bi" :=)

    Many do associate Peggy Bundy ("Married With Children" here in the United States) with leopard print leggings. I actually respect all ten fashion pieces you've mentioned here. You are still a stylishly sweet lady with these fashion items you mentioned here.

    Eri bionda?? Mi piaci molto di più così però! Hai fatto bene ad indossare quelle cose che non avresti pensato, soprattutto il cappello, le calze over the knee e la camicia di jeans!

    Hello Ivana,

    the most of your here showing outfits i know already - there´s nothing more to say for me.

    BUT you with blonde hairs. I wished i could see more pics from you with this hair colour. I know you just with black hairs and i think that´s the right colour for you and your hair. If i could see more of you in "blondish-style", maybe i would chance my mind.

    "10. Leopard leggings" - funny, you know Peggy Bundy? I LOVE "Love and Marriage" this family is so crazy...;-) One of my favorite TV Series all time.
    And your right - i thought the same like you - Leggings are dead. Leggings was big in the 80s, 90s and then they were gone - from one day to another. But i´m glad, that these great kind of a pants had their revival. That´s why we can wear this not only on Sport or Dance, but also in combo with our daily clothings. Even on Parties or festiveness are Leggings good looking stuff.

    Bye.

    Jennifer

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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

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. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
