Pink and blue (outfit post)/ Roza i plava (odjevna kombinacija)

Who says we need to buy new clothes all the time? I certainly don't think we need to buy them in order to enjoy dressing up. Everything I'm wearing in this outfit, I've had for years. In fact, some of these clothing items date back to my childhood. I have this opinion that when we own a certain clothing item for a long time, we grow attached to it (at least that is the case with me). Moreover, the mere fact of having had some item for a while makes (or it might make ) it more meanigful for us. In addition, it makes it easier for us to style it because we know it so well. What do you think about this theory of mine? Naturally, we have to buy new clothes eventually because they old ones won't last forever. Naturally, there is nothing wrong in buying new clothes and enjoying the process. Nevertheless, in this world of consumerism it is a nice when someone takes cares of a certain item and wants to preserve it. Such attachments to clothes may be called sentimantal, but there is charm in them.

Tko kaže da moramo  kupovati novu odjeću stalno? Ja stvarno ne mislim da je moramo kupovati da bismo uživali u odijevanju. Sve što nosim u ovoj odjevnoj kombinaciji, imala sam godinama. Zapravo, neki od ovih odjevnih predmeta su iz moga djetinstva. Imam neko mišljenje da kada dugo imamo neki odjevni predmet vežemo se uz njega (barem je tako u mome slučaju). Uz to, čak i sama činjenica da nešto imam dugo vrijeme može učiniti da nam taj predmet bude poseban. Lakše nam je kombinirati neki odjevni predmet koji dugo imamo jer ga dobro poznajemo. Što vam se čini od ove moje teorije? Naravno, moramo kupovati novu odjeći jer stara ne traje zauvijek. Naravno da nema ništa loše u kupovanju nove odjeće i uživanju u samom procesu. Ipak, u ovom svijetu konsumerizma lijepo je kada netko pazi na neki odjevni predmet i želi ga sačuvati. Takve vezanosti se mogu nazvati sentimentalnim, ali ima šarma u njima.

    Preslatka pink kombinacija! Jako se vezujem za neke odevne komade i cuvam ih i nosim godinama. KLjuc je u mix-u starog i novog. Mislim da u tome lezi i prava umesnost i osecaj za stil.

    I opet se slažemo :) I ja imam dosta odeće koju imam godinama i koja niti mi dosađuje, niti joj vreme i neumorno nošenje može išta. Iako je danas odeća i više nego potrošna roba, ima nekih komada koji su za sva vremena ili makar za duži vremenski period. Mislim da je slično i sa prijateljstvima. Biti otvoren za nove i čuvati one stare, drage i nezamenljive.
    Divno ti stoje te nijanse, a posebno mi se dopada kako se uklpaju kragna i mašna. Blistaš baš kao i taj divan sunčan dan :)

      ma kako se mi to samo uvijek slažemo:). Moramo se dogovoriti jednom pa da se ne složimo. Ta usporedba s prijateljstvima mi se baš sviđa...ona koja vrijedi zadržati treba posebno njegovati i paziti na njih, a u isto vrijeme treba biti otvoren za nova.

    Personally I think the same like you do, Ivana - there is nothing wrong with buying new clothes, but on the other hand, considering the fabrics, where these clothes (I'm talking about the ones from high street like h&m,zara and so on) are made, everytime I need to buy something new, I have doubts, because it's so immoral, so very often I end up with getting something "new" from second hand store - at least, it's eco-friendly. What about your outfit I love how this purple sweater goes with pink skirt, it's amazing color combo, my dear:)
    Have a lovely evening, Ivana :)

      every time period has its benefits. Nowadays we can order everything we want from internet sites, everything is so easily accessible. However, clothes are made from materials that don't last very long. It is also true what you say about brands like Zara and H&M explodining their workers and doing damage to environment. I've watched one documentary called toxic clothing that really made me think. That is why it is great to buy in thrifted stores. By wearing second hand clothes we're helping the environment...and hunting for great finds is always fun.

    I totally agree with your theory! Most of my clothes are old and you are right. I know exactly what they go with and how to style them because I've had them so long. And I love your outfit! That collar on the blouse is gorgeous and the colours are beautiful. Beautiful photos!

    Pretty in pink, pretty in pink! I'm totally with you on not needing to buy new clothes all the time. It's more interesting and challenging to shop your own closet and come up with new ways to wear existing pieces. I love that you do that!

    I totally agree with you about not buying new clothes all the time. I tend to hoard my clothes largely because I'm so attached to them. Each time I pick up a piece and want to give it away, I think of how much I love/d it and I change my mind. As a result my closet is honestly almost collapsing under the weight of clothes. You look totally adorable and I can't believe you've had some of these for a long time. You sure did keep them well. The skirt is super cute and I'm sure you can style it many different ways just using staples from your closet. The cardi seems to be my favorite item from this look. The length is just right and so is the tie front style. You look totally AMAZING!

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.

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

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

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

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
