Share in style: Japanese inspiration / Japansko nadahnuće

Time for another Share in Style. This time the theme is Japanese inspiration. Can you see it in my outfit? I'm wearing a dark blue shirt that I absolutely love because it's 100% cotton and has really long sleeves that fit even my monkey arms. The collar on this blue shirt is what we would call  a Russian collar but isn't it similar to traditional Japanese collar? The second  item that is inspired by Japan is this lovely white vintage jacket that I hand pained myself. When I think of Japan, I think of beautiful hand-painted clothing items so perhaps that's where the inspiration for this jacket originally came from. 

This outfit would look  much better without a coat but I was not feeling that great this morning hence I didn't want to take any changes. It took two pain killers, lots of herbal tea and lavender  oil inhalation just to get me out of the bed. Over the shirt and under the white jacket and coat, I wore a green dress with a lovely floral print that also reminds me of Japan but at this point that may be just the power of self suggestion. These wonderful and very comfortable boots are from Peko and they are a proof that I haven't completely ignored the sales. The bag is a traditional Croatian folklore bag, handmade by my late grandmother. 

Vrijeme za još jedan Share in Style. Ovoga  puta tema je Japansko nadahnuće. (bolje bi bilo reći nadahnuće Japanom, ali poštovati ću naziv na engleskom.) Možete li ga vidjeti u mojoj odjevnoj kombinaciji? Nosim tamno plavu košulju koju obožavam jer je skroz pamučna i ima jako duge rukave koji pristaju čak i mojim majmunskim rukama. Ovratnik na ovoj plavoj košulji je ono što bismo nazvali ruskom ovratkim (kragnom/koletom), ali zar nije zapravo sličan tradicionalnom japanskom? Drugi odjevni predmet nadahnut Japanom je ova divna bijela vintage jakna koju sam sama oslikala. Kada razmišljam o Japanu, mislim na prelijepe ručno oslikane odjevne komade pa eto otkuda možda i nadahnuće.

Ova bi kombinacija bolje izgledala bez kaputa, ali nisam se baš sjajno osjećala ovog jutra pa mi se nije dalo riskirati. Samo da ustanem iz kreveta trebale su mi dvije tablete za bolove, puno biljnog čaja i inhalacija lavendinim uljem. Preko košulje i ispod jakne i kaputa, nosila sam zelenu haljinu sa cvjetnim uzorkom koji me podsjeća na Japan, no to bi već mogla biti i moć sugestije. Udobne i divne čizme su iz Peka( dokaz da nisam potpuno ignorirala rasprodaje), a torba je folklorna hrvatska koju je izradila za mene moja pokojna baka.
