How to wear big puffed sleeves? / Kako nositi velike napuhane rukave?

 How to wear big puffed sleeves without looking like a Disney princess? Not that there is anything wrong with looking like a Disney princess, but maybe you have been wondering how to wear dramatically puffed sleeves on everyday basis. Actually, I've been asking myself the same question. I'm very keen on this trend of oversize sleeves, but figuring out how to wear them in a casual way proved to be something of a challenge. When I bought this dress ( I'm not very keen of shopping, but when I saw this one I just had to have it), the answer presented itself. Denim. Yes, denim. That magical ingredient that instantly makes every outfit look more casual. Nothing helps dress down a look than a piece of denim, be it a pair of jeans (or jeggings in this case) or a denim vest. 

I knew that this dress won't be long enough for my liking when I bought it, but I figured that I can wear it with jeans...and what you know, it looks great worn with jeggings. It looks like I found my puffed sleeves item for this Spring. Now, that I think of it, I also have one vintage blouse with puffed sleeves. You can see how I styled it with jeans here. What do you think about this Spring/ Summer trend? Do you fancy dramatic sleeves? Will this trend find its way to you closet? Do you like this trend of voluminous sleeves?  Let me know in the comments. One more thing...the location is once again restaurant/motel Kolo located on the banks of Buna river. My happy place.

Kako nositi velike napuhane bez da izgledate kao disney princeza? Ne da ima nešto loše u tome da izgledamo kao disney princeza, ali možda ste se pitati kako nositi dramatično napuhane rukave na svakodnevnoj bazi. Zapravo i sama sam se to pitala. Jako mi se sviđa ovaj trend napuhanih rukava, ali smisliti kako ih nositi na ležeran način pomalo je ispalo izazov. Kada sam kupila ovu haljinu ( nisam ljubitelj kupovine, ali kada sam vidjela ovu haljinu morala sam je imati), odgovor se sam pojavio. Denim. Da, denim. Taj magični sastojak koji svaku odjevnu kombinaciju pretvara u ležernu. Ništa ne pomaže učiniti kombinaciju ležernijom od komada denima, pa bio to par traperica (u ovom slučaju imitacija traperica, tkz. jeggings, su u pitanju) ili prsluk od denima. 


Znala sam da mi ova haljina neće biti dovoljno duga (za moj ukus), ali činilo mi se da je mogu nositi s trapericama...i što znate, baš dobro izgleda nošena s tajicama koje su imitacija traperice. Izgleda sam da pronašla svoj komad  napuhanih rukava za ovo proljeće. Sada kada razmislim, imam jednu vintage bluzu s napuhanim rukavima. Možete vidjeti kako sam je nosila ovdje.  Što vi mislite o ovom proljetno-ljetnom trendu? Sviđaju li vam se ovakvi dramatični rukavi? Hoće li ovaj trend pronaći put u vaš ormar? Volite li ovaj trend rukava velikoga volumena? Dajte mi do znanja u komentarima. Još nešto...lokacija je još jednom restoran/motel Kolo koji se nalazi na obali rijeke Bune. Moje sretno mjesto.

  6. Puffed sleeves are a really chic and feminine detail and this dress has the perfect amount without being OTT. The dress really makes a style statement from the color to the silhouette to the details and I love that you chose to style it with jeggings!

  7. Jaooo pa ova haljinica je ko stvorena za tebe, i još u žarko rozoj nijansi...ma oduševljena sam, koja savršena kombinacija za kraj tjedna! :) Ja sam nekidan probala neki traper haljinicu tih ogromnih rukava i dečko i ja smo odvalili od smijeha koliko mi je grozno stajala tako da mislim da ću ovaj trend zaobići iako mi se jako sviđa :) I lokacija ti je divna, baš djeluje kao pravo opuštajuće mjesto za popiti kavicu i uživati u danu!

    1. možda je bio krivi kroj i tvoja haljinica te još čeka...čini mi se da s ovim rukavima ne ide svaki kroj, baš treba pronaći nešto što će nam pristajati.

  13. E' davvero delizioso quell'abito Ivana!!! E quanto ti sta bene!
    Anche ame piacciono tantissimo le maniche a palloncino e sono d'accordo con te sul fatto che l'abbinamento ideale per sdrammatizzarle sia con il denim, ma io crredo che tu possa tranquillamente metter quel vistino anche da solo con un paio di ankle boots o di pumps e staresti benissimo!
    Buona Pasqua tesoro!
    Baci!

  16. I have always felt this way about puffed sleeves, they seem to be so difficult to wear (but they do look so lovely on you, hun!). I already have pretty broad shoulders (I think!) and I have always felt that puffed sleeves just make me look wider, if that makes sense! I had a dress with puffed sleeves once and although it was gorgeous, I didn't wear it much for that reason. Puffed sleeve tops seem to be a lot easier to style, however! You are right, that top goes so well with the jeggings, and I simply adore that pink colour! It's so feminine, lovely and very spring-like. I can see why that restaurant is your happy place, hun, it looks so peaceful there with so many beautiful sights around! :) Sorry for being a little quiet lately, lovely. I took a little blogging/social media break, but I'm back now and catching up with all your lovely posts this evening. <3 I hope you're having a fantastic Easter weekend! xoxo

    1. thank you Kay! My shoulders are broad ( I used to swim a lot) but I always liked that about myself. I like broad shoulders on everyone.

      Yes, this spot is absolutely my happy place. The views are so lovely...and I always have fun feeding the ducks. As soon as they see me, they fly right towards me...I think they remember me or something:)

      Don't worry about not stopping by, we all need blogging breaks from time to time.

  33. What a great idea, to wear this cute dress with jeggings, dear Ivana! You look adorable!!! I like a princess style, but for me it is unfortunately impossible to wear puffy sleeves, because of my broad shoulders :-(

    I wish you a happy easter! :-))

  35. I really love ruffles on clothes in pretty much any shape and style, at the moment! The hot pink colour of your outfit here is SO gorgeous and oh my gosh, the sunshine setting is beyond dreamy. Absolutely loving the summer-vibes of this post Ivana and looking forward to seeing more and more sunshine on your blog over upcoming months :)

  36. Ivana! You are looking tres chic in this pouffy sleeve mini. I'm in love with the color and the fit. You know whats funny, I was going to wear a white dress with big sleeves to church on Easter Sunday and my daughter said the sleeves made it inappropriate for church cos they're so out there. Great idea to pair it with jeans and omg jeans would be the perfect item of clothing to tone it down some. Leggings or tights too. You look so pretty and so chic! Hope you had a great Easter.

  53. Hi Ivana :) Personally I'm not huge fan of puffed and oversized sleeves, because I'm petite (eventually oversized ruffles will be great alternative for me:P), BUT you look terrific in this dress, that beautiful shade of pink suits to you and your skin's tone perfectly, you should wear more often such a great and vivid colors :D What's more, I'm more than sure that you chose great decision to style that dress with denim - you're right, denim makes that fancy dress more casual. :) One more thing - I really like location of your photos and it seems that you and your husband spent lovely and peaceful time there :)
    Have a great evening, Ivana! :)
