3 Ways To Wear a Pair of Cropped Pants

How do you feel about wearing cropped pants? I'm a big fan and I know I'm not the only one. There are many advantages to wearing cropped pants. Some say that the reason why cropped pants make us look slimmer is because they showcase the thinnest part of our legs- the ankles. I've never really thought about it that way. I first started wearing cropped pants because I had problems finding the right size. So, I would buy regular pants but they would look cropped on me. I think that's the case with this pair of pants. I had this pair of ages, I wear it often but I bought it by mistake. They weren't cropped as such, it's just what happens when a girl who is 5 feet 9 buys a S size. I usually don't buy pants in small size, but this was the only pair they had and I bought it without looking at the size label  and because I was wearing boots so I didn't realize they were cropped. Fast forward to today, I'm happy I bough this pair of pants. Another advantage to this particular cut is that it allows you to showcase your shoes. So, if you have a gorgeous pair of shoes that you can't wait to show to the world, cropped pants are a great choice. Today I'll share with you 3 outfits featuring one grey pair of cropped pants. 

OUTFIT NO.1 Cropped pants styled with a floral ruffled shirt and chunky heels.


This floral shirt with ruffles has been my saviour for years. I always put it on when I want to add femininity to any outfit. What is more romantic than ruffles, right?  I think it works well with these pants, but next time I will try tucking this shirt in. I just think that a tucked in shirt is often more flattering, especially combined with a high waist (high rise) pants. If the shoes look look familiar, it is because I've actually wore these heels (paired with these socks) (here) but I liked the combination so much that I had to repeat it.

OUTFIT NO. 2 Cropped pants worn with a red blouse and a peep toe heels 

In this outfit, the grey pants are contrasted with a vibrant red blouse, but I think this combination  of colours works very well. Grey is such an underestimated colour. Anyhow, here I tucked in this shirt and I think it looks better worn that way. I paired the cropped pants with peep toe heels. Supposedly peep toe heels make our legs look longer. I'm not sure if that is true, I just read it someplace. I opted for a hat because the sun was really strong that day. Perhaps I choose this one because the beige details match the ones on shoes. I honestly can't remember, but it is possible because I love to match accessories.  Sometimes I like to play with unexpected colour combinations, but more often I have fun colour coordinating. How about you? Do you like colours? If yes, how do you wear them?

OUTFIT NO. 3 Cropped pants worn with a cropped shirt and wedges

This is my third outfit for today. It is also my first time this year wearing sandals, and it feels good. I did wear some peep toe shoes, but that's not really the same. Anyway, besides these lovely wedges I had for ages, I paired these cropped pants with a white shirt. The shirt is tied in such a way that it looks cropped, but not much skin is showed. (Trust me, you don't want to see what my stomach looks like after resection surgery.) I did a lot of DIY work on this shirt. I first altered it and then I hand painted it. I think it looks pretty cute now.

    Oh, I'm such a fan of cropped trousers! They're so flattering and versatile for any time of year, though especially the Spring when styling can become pretty difficult due to ever-changing weather conditions haha! I'm not surprised that first floral shirt is a longterm fave of yours - it's os beautiful! Hope you're having a fabulous long weekend so far Ivana :)

    Wow, you have really outdone yourself in this post! I love how you showed us how you style the cropped pants. The flares and cut bring some nostalgia to me as I used to wear something like this back in the day. I don't have this particular styling in my current closet and I'm thinking of getting me some cropped pants. I am especially taken in by the second outfit as I just love that floral shirt and the peep-toe heels on you. So chic! Also, thank you for showing us the springtime there, it's so picturesque. I hope you are feeling well and continue recovering from fever if you're still down. *smiles* <3

    I love the three ways you styled the trousers! I have similar problems to you being 5 foot 8.5! I do like cropped trousers-my favourite ones are some cute cat embroidered ones from Miss Patina- it is so nice to wear those-so you can benefit from the warmth but you feel liberated wearing trousers!
    The ruffled blouse is really pretty and it is very reminiscent of the blossom of the tree you are standing under!
    What was the surgery you had done exactly? You mentioned resection but I'm not sure what that is!

      I had to have parts of my small intestine and colon removed because of Chron disease, about half a meter altogether. The doctors just call it resection Chron surgery, I'm not sure is there any other term for it. The scar is hideous, it looks like a shark tried to have a bite of me:)!

    Dear Ivana, yes, for sure I'm a fan of cropped pants! Honestly, it even feels for me more strange to wear pants in normal length than cropped pants :) And I don't wear cropped pants because I'm tall like you :) Love all the 3 looks you show here. You really know how to wear cropped pants and I'm so sorry that you still see that many from your operation. Hopefully you feel nevertheless well. The handpainted shirt looks absolutely good, you can be so proud of what you have created again.
    Happy new week!
    With love from Bavaria/Germany, Rena

    A nice showcase for the versatility of cropped pants. All three outfits looks so chic. I'm a fan of cropped pants not so much for the slimming effect but for the lengthening effect ;p

    Your outfits with the cropped pants look very stylish, dear Ivana! I like them all very well - on YOU! (My favorite outfit is number 2) I absolutely don't like it myself in such pants. I have short legs and unfortunately I can not wear shoes with high heels ....

    "How do you feel about wearing cropped pants" - it´s ok for me. i think it is a "special" kind of pants, but i looks really good. i like it how your paired it on that look were you wearing a hat and heels - you posing like a real model, so stylish!!! but this pants looks for me like a jogging pants - thats the name in germany for these kinds of pants.

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...

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

 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...

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...
