Nautical print dress (outfit post and surviving summer in Mostar) / Haljina s mornaskim uzorkom (odjevna kombinacija i preživljavanje ljeta u Mostaru)


Do you like nautical print? I do. Pairing this dress with tights felt kind of wrong, but it stopped me from worrying about whether it is too short or not. So, here it is. A simple liitle outfit with a little nautical print dress....because some of us can't resist prints. Moreover, for some of us LBD will remained something to be admired but rarely worn. 

p.s. The temperatures are sky high in Mostar and I unless I don't have to I don't go out of the house before 7 p.m. Mostar is surrounded by mountains which are amazing sight for the eyes but they also trap the warm air (you can't have it all) making this city a hard place to live in during the summer months. I might write some tips on how to surive Summer in the city soon. Do you have any tips to share? How are you surviving summer in a city (taken that you happen to live in one)?

Volite li mornaski uzorak? Ja ga volim. Nošenje ove ljetne haljinice s hulahopkama mi se činilo nekako pogrešno, ali barem se nisam morala brinuti o tome je li prekratka. Tako da...evo jednostavne kombinacije sa kratkom haljinicom mornarskoga uzorka....jer neki od nas ne mogu odoljeti uzorcima i za neke od nas mala crna haljina će uvijek biti nešto čemu ćemo se diviti, ali što ćemo rijetko nositi. 

p.s. Temperature su nevjerojatno visoke u Mostaru i ne izlazim iz kuće (ako ne moram) prije 7 sati navečer. Mostar je okružen planinama koje su pravi odmor za oči, ali one također ( nikada ne možete imati sve) zarobe topli zrak i čine ovaj grad teškim za život u ljetnim mjesecima. Možda napišem neke savjete o tome kako preživjeti ljeto u gradu. Imate li vi kakvih savjeta? Kako preživljavate ljeto u gradu (ako živite u gradu)?

    Ivana, I like your nautical print dress... it looks great on you. I too wear a pair of tights when the dress is a bit shorter.

    I live in a small city but located near a harbour and very close to the ocean. So although it can get hot at times we usually have a breeze. I hope it cools off a bit for you♡

      thank you dear Launna. When I'm in Split I make the most out of it being a coastal city....and in Mostar we have five years so I try to stay close to them and in the evening I stroll on the banks of Neretva river trying get the most out of its breeze.

    Oh, I love your dress with the gray tights!
    I'm lucky enough to live by the sea, but even here the temperatures get pretty high. There's not a lot that you can do... Sometimes we even stay at home because it's colder inside that it is outside. But generally we just find a pool or a colder caffe and stay there :)

    Malo mi je teško gledat najlonke čak i na slikama, po ovakvoj vrućini :)
    Mislim da ti nisu bile potrebne uz ovu haljinu, nije toliko kratka. Haljina mi je lijepa, ide super preko ljeta, i preko hladnog period s najlonkama (tad bih stavila gore neki jednobojni, tamni sako, npr.).
    Kako se preživljava ljeto u Mostaru? Zagreb danas gori.

      preživljava se šetnjom uz Neretvu, Radobolju i ostale rijeke...i ako se može najbolje je ne izlaziti iz kuće od 10 do 5 sati.

      Mislim da bi haljina ljepše izgledala bez najlonki, ali opet malo mi je prekratka kad sjednem, a pošto sam je nosila na misu odlučila sam ipak igrati na sigurno.

    Hello!! I LOVE it. Absolutely cannot resist a nautical print dress!!! It looks cool and lovely on you. I tend to wear leggings with shorter dresses-can't cope with tights in the sun!!!x

    Nautical prints are perfect for the warmer weather and the colors in this dress are so fun. I also wear tights with dresses that I consider on the short side. I think this dress actually looks quite chic paired with tights and even better that it gives you peace of mind when you wear it.

    The heat sounds like it has become somewhat unbearable in Mostar. I don't blame you for not wanting to go out. Intense heat can feel so draining. It hasn't been that bad in NYC yet. We had a few really hot days and it was really the humidity that made it worse. Dry heat doesn't feel as bad to me. But when it's really hot, like you, I avoid going out if I can especially during the middle of the day. Stay cool my friend!

    I think the tights look lovely with the dress - its a stunning outfit :) I don't live in a city myself but I prefer city breaks to beach holidays, so I know how hot these places get in the summer (hence why I put most of my travel on hold until winter months!) x

    Daaaa, mornarske prugice su uvek trendy i rado ih nosim.
    Uh, leto u gradu! Ja licno nisam veliki fan ovako visokih temperatura (danas je u Beogradu oko 37) i spas trazim u klima uredjaju i hladnoj lubenici :-) Trudim se takodje da izlazim u kasno popodnevnim casovima.

    I am not really into prints that much, I am a basic kind of girl when it comes to my outfits. But I love the summer and the warmth, I seem to function way better when it is warm. Drinking a lot is what helps, and eating watermelon fro the fridge.

    Da, Mostar je prava kotlina i znam koliko vruće može biti tamo... drž'se! Ne znam kako si preživjela u najlonkama, ja mislim da bi umrla... iako-sve skupa jako lijepo izgleda! Ja sam veliki fan mornarskog uzorka, tako da je meni ova haljinica med medeni! :***

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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!

Image
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...

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...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 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 ...

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...

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...
