What to wear to a semi-formal family diner? / Što nositi na donekle formalnu obiteljsku večeru?

Spring. Everywhere we look around there is something new to see. Life itself seems to be blossoming. I love Spring. It the season when we feel very much alive. I'm ready to forgive Spring for its downsides (such as viruses, allergies, tiredness and so on) because its  uppersides more than make up for it. After all, nobody is perfect. The imperfections are like waves. We might think they are there to give us problems, but it is all about how we sail them. If we sail the waves right, we'll get where we were heading much faster.

Proljeće. Gdje god pogledamo oko nas ima nešto novo za vidjeti. Čini se da i sam život cvijeta. Volim proljeće, to je vrijeme kada se osjećamo vrlo živima, stoga sam mu spremna oprostiti neke njegove nedostatke kao što su alergije, umor i ostalo. Na kraju krajeva, nitko nije savršen. Nesavršenosti su kao valovi. Možemo misliti da su tu da sam zadaju probleme, ali ako znamo na njima ploviti dospjeti ćemo ranije tamo gdje smo naumili. 

What to wear to a semi-formal family diner or celebration? Or in this case a First Communion party? What to wear for such an occassion? This is my answer. Something classic and chic, an outfit that feels enought dressed up but it is still very  comfortable. You never know how long you are going to stay, so comfort is an element to be considered as well.  I don't know about you, but I like to put in a bit of effort when it comes to any special occasion. You don't have to put it a crazy amount of time into getting ready, but cleaning up a little shows your hosts that you respect them. Anyway, this is what I wore, one lovely sunny day in April. 

Što obući za donekle formalnu obiteljsku večeru ili slavlje? Ili kao u ovom slučaju slavlje Prve Pričesti? Kako se obući za takvu priliku? Ovo je moj odgovor. Nešto klasično i chic, odjevna kombinacija koja se čini dovoljno dotjeranom, a koja je ipak vrlo udobna. Nikada ne znate koliko ćete ostati, tako da je i udobnost faktor koji treba uzeti u obzir. Ne znam kakvo je vaše mišljenje, ali ja se volim malo potruditi kada je u pitanju neka posebna prilika. Ne mora to biti veliki trud, ali kada se sredite pokazujete poštovanje prema svojim domaćinima.Uglavnom, ovo je što sam nosila toga sunčanoga travanjskoga dana. 

They say you can't go wrong with a pencil skirt and  whoever 'they' may be,  they might be on to something.  A pencil skirt suits every body type. It makes every outfit more elegant. A pencil skirt is easy to dress up or down. Conclusion? A simple pencil skirt is a great addition to any closet. Since I ordered and got this skirt (as a part of a suit I had made for me) I've been wearing it very often. So, from my personal experience, it is  a great investment. Few things are as easy to style as a simple black pencil skirt. Do you like pencil skirts? If you do...Do you wear them often? Do you find them practical?  

Kažu da ne možete pogriješiti s suknjom olovka kroja i tko god 'oni' bili, mislim da su na tragu nečega. Suknja olovka kroja stoji svakoj građi i čini svaku odjevnu kombinaciju elegantnijom. Takvu suknju lako je prilagoditi ležernim i svečanim kombinacija. Otkada sam naručila i preuzela ovu suknju  (kao dio odijela koji sam dala na šivanje), jako često je nosim. Tako da iz moje perspektive to je jako dobra investicija. Nije puno stvari tako lako uskladiti kao crnu suknju olovka kroja. Nosite li vi suknje olovka kroja? Jesu li vam drage? Ako jesu...Nosite li ih često? Čine li vam se praktičnim?
