Is blue the colour of forgiveness? (a blue dress and a green scarf) / Je li plava boja zaborava? ( plava haljina i zeleni rubac)
Colours. Patterns. Summer. Funny how it always comes down to Summer. Sure, I like wearing patters and bold colours all year long, but bold colours sure do look more cool with a bit of tan. The same seems to apply for pastel colours as well. Or do I simply like the tanned look? At any rate, colours and patters are two things make me extremely happy. They can turn even a simple summer outfit into something that feels interesting and fun. Scarves are one of my favourite accessories. Perhaps because they're a great way to infuse a bit of colour and pattern into any outfit? This dress originally came with a black bow. I liked it, but I like tieing a colourful scarf in the place of that bow even more. Customizing clothes is always a lot of fun. Do you like customizing clothes? I sure do.
Blue dress. Blue is the colour of forgiveness and forgetting, or so one of the characters from Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King claims. I liked this colour symbolism, but I must be honest and say I wasn't crazy about the novel. In fact, it was a great let down. It started so well, but the characters were so one and two dimensional it got ridicolous. The protagonist was likeable but that was about it. Stephen King should spend less time making fun of other writers and more time perfecting his own craft. If you are interested, you can read my review of this novel on my other blog( here ) and on my goodreads profile (here). If you have a goodreads profile, feel free to send me a message. I would love to connect on this social network as well.
Boje. Uzorci. Ljeto. Čudno kako se sve gotovo uvijek svede na ljeto. Naravno da volim uzorke i jarke boje nositi i drugih mjeseca u godini, ali jake boje svakako izgledaju privlačnije kada je koža malo preplanula. Isto, čini mi se vrijedi i za pastelne nijanse. Ili ja možda jednostavno volim preplanuli izgled? Kako bilo, boje i uzorci su dvije stvari koje me čine jako sretnom. Mogu pretvoriti čak i jednostavnu odjevnu kombinaciju u nešto zanimljivo i zabavno. Rubci su mi jedni od najdražih modnih dodataka. Možda zato jer su odličan način da ubacimo malo boje i uzorka u svaku modnu kombinaciju? Ova je haljina došla sa crnom mašnom koja mi se sviđala, ali mi se više sviđa nekakvu šarenu maramu zavezati umjesto nje. Uvijek je zabavno prilagoditi odjeću sebi. Volite li vi sebi prilagođavati odjeću? Ja naravno.
Plava haljina. Plava je boja zaborava i oproštaja, barem tako kaže jedan od likova iz romana Gospodin Mercedes Stephena Kinga. Meni se svidio taj simbolizam boje, ali moram bit iskrena i reći da nisam bila luda za samim romanom, dapače baš me razočarao. Počeo je tako dobro, ali likovi su bili toliko plosati da je to postalo smiješno, samo je protagonist bio simpatičan, ali to je bilo otprilike to. Stephen King bi trebao manje vremena govoreći drugima kako ne znaju pisati, a više se baviti usavršavanjem svoga zanata. Ukoliko vas zanima možete pročitati moju recenziju romana na mome drugom blogu ovdje i na mome goodreadsu profilu ovdje.

DeleteI didn't know that blue and forgiveness go together. I do have many royal or navy blue work clothes. You look super retro with the scarf as a great pairing to the blue dress.

Hahaha... You could blame me any time. I love blaming people for their mouthwatering food photos on their pages too! My appetite had been crazy too! OMG. I just keep eating. I know what you mean!
I'm glad that you enjoyed Chinese food at the Asian restaurant that you have discovered. And I hope they serve those food that you'd wanted to try when you saw my travel and food posts.
Thank you for your lovely words always!

DeleteWhat a pretty dress! I love the Peter Pan collar and how you styled the scarf. your hair looks so cute styled like this. I almost thought you had gotten a pixie cut in the first photo :)
ReplyDeletethank you sweetie. I love Peter Pan collars too.
DeleteI long gave up on trying to read anything by Stephen King. I find his writing style way too verbose and have a hard time getting through his books.
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean.
DeleteLovely look!

DeleteBlue is one of my ultimate favourite colours (I have way too many so it's hard to pick one but blue has always been special to me). Love this dress on you lovely & completely agree with you - bold & bright colours are stunning for summer and go so well with tan. I am super pale at the moment so can't wait to go on a holiday (we're off in September) and enjoy the sun, the sea and the beach <3
