How to wear a summer dress in Autumn? Kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen?


The first thing I really took notice of in Mostar city, back in the day, when I arrived to study here, were these trees. I'm still fascinated by them. If you want to know the story about them, you can read it one of my old blog posts (here.)

Kada sam stigla u Mostar na studij , prva stvar koja mi je zaista upala u oči bila su ova stabla. Još uvijek me oduševljavaju. Želite li znati njihovu priču, možete je pročitati u jednoj od mojih starijih objava (ovdje.)

I'm quite satisfied with the fact that I managed to style this cherry dress (here) for Autumn. Isn't it great when we manage to transfer a summer clothing item into our wardrobe for other seasons? I often see it as a fun challange. So, my answer to the question 'how to wear a summer dress in Autumn?' would be, 'wear a blazer over it, add a folklore bag and put on biker boots'. That way you will be embracing the folklore trend. In addition, biker boots make everything look cool.

Poprilično sam zadovoljna s činjenicom da sam uspjela stilizirati ovu haljinu na trešnje (ovdje) i ove jeseni. Zar nije odličan osjećaj kada uspijemo prebaciti neki ljetni odjevni komad  u našu garderobu za druga godišnja doba? Meni je to često zabavan izazov. Moj odgovor na pitanje, "kako nositi ljetnu haljinu u jesen" , bio bi : "nosite sako preko, dodajte folklornu torbu i obujte motorističke čizme. Na taj način ćete prihvatiti folklorni trend, a uz bajkerske čizme sve bolje izgleda.

    Your dress is so cute and you look so adorable and feminine, dear Ivana! I love the pretty pattern of the dress and the way you paired it with the pink blazer!

    Ivana, my dear, I gave you a special nomination for the "Liebster Award". Please have a look at my recent post. I was to lazy to translate my post, so you do´nt have to do anything if you do not like. I just wanted to show you my appreciation ;-)

    Have a lovely weekend,

    Znaš koliko mi se dopada ta haljinica, a činjenica da može da se nosi i jesen jerdodatni plus. Još si uklopila ražličite stilove u jednoj kombinaciji a to nije uvek lako. Baš je pun pogodak i ovakva topla jesen je zapravo idealna za slojevito i maštovito oblačenje :) Lokacija je takođe divna <3

    Lijepo odijelo! Haljina je vrlo lijep i torba također. Što je ruka posao? Kad sam bila dijete, moj otac kupio sličan torbu za mene na odmoru u Hrvatsku, koji je tkani. Imate također tkani svoj torba?

      hvala. Ručni rad znači kada se nešto radi ručno, a ne tvornički...ne mora nužno značiti da se radilo isključivo rukom već da je osoba, a ne stroj napravila glavninu posla. Ova torba je tkana, napravila ju je i meni poklonila moja pokojna baka. Ovakav tip folklorne torbe jako je čest u hrvatskim nošnjama. Morala bih provjeriti koje sve nošnje imaju ovaj tip torbe, ali puno ljudi iz različitih dijelova Hrvatske i BIH mi je reklo da je baš takva torba dio njihove nošnje.

    I really like your idea how to wear summer dress on the autumnal period, becauce adding blazer in vivid and bright color makes your dress just perfect for beautifull and sunny day on the Fall, dear Ivana ;) Personally I also wearing clothes, which are more suitable for the summer on the colder month, because they still look good with combo with cozy sweater or jacket :) Have a great evening, Ivana :)

    I like the red blazer with the red print on the dress :)

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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

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...
