Fashion illustration of the day/ Modna ilustracija dana

Last night I hardly got any sleep, but I'm not complaining. I have spent most of the night reading Germinal by Zola. I may be feeling like a train ran me over right now, but such a novel is surely worth one sleepless night. There is no need to be overly elaborative in my praises for Germinal is considered to be a masterpiece ( besides this is not a literature blog). However, it is so great that it deserves a mention. What I was surprised with was just how emotional my reaction to it was. Long story short, I absolutely loved this classical work of literature. So, I do recommend you to read it (in case you haven't read it yet). Now, let's say a few words about my today's post.  This outfit was really fun to illustrate. I wore it last March but I didn't get the chance to post it before. I'm kind of glad I waited until now, because it ended up inspiring me to do this illustartion. I don't often illustrate myself because it is kind of boring because there isn't that element of surprise. It is not like when I see someone and what he/she is wearing really inspires me. However, somethimes it is fun to illustrate something that I worn myself. It would be nice if I had the time to illustrate everything I wear and everything I like, but at the moment my time management skills are not as advanced. These flare jeans are old but I gave them a new twist by painting on them with textile paints (read about it in more detail here)

Noćas nisam skoro ništa spavala, ali neću se žaliti. Većinu noći sam provela čitajući Zolin Germinal . Možda se sada osjećam kao da me pregazio vlak, ali takav roman je vrijedan neprospavane noći. Nema potrebe da budem pretjerano detaljna u mojim pohvalama jer se Germinal smatra remek djelom (osim toga ovo nije književni blog). No, roman je tako sjajan da ga vrijedi spomenuti. Ono što me iznenadilo je koliko je emotivna bila moja reakcija na njega bila. Da skratim, jako mi se svidio ovaj književni klasik. Tako da mogu preporučiti da ga pročitate ( u slučaju da već niste). Reći ću još nešto i o današnjoj objavi. Bilo je zabavno ilustrirati ovu kombinaciju. Nosila sam ovo prošloga mjeseca, ali nisam to stigla prije objaviti. Sada mi je drago što sam malo pričekala, jer me na kraju to nadahulo za ovu ilustraciju. Ne slikam baš često sebe jer je to pomalo dosadno jer nedostaje taj element iznenađenja. Nije to kao kada vidim nekoga i ono što on/ona nosi me doista nadahne. No, nekad je i zabavno naslikati nešto što sam i sama nosila. Zgodno bi bilo kada bi imala vremena ilustrirati sve što sam nosila i sve što mi se svidi, ali zasada nisam tako vješta s organizacijom vremena. Traperice na zvono su stare, ali malo sam ih obnovila tako što sam ih obojala s tektilnim bojama ( o tome detaljnije možete pročitati ovdje).
