How To Style Bermuda Shorts In a Dressed Up Way? Outfit Proposal.

Today I'm sharing with you a predominately grey styling. I think that grey is such an underestimated colour. Lately I've been wearing it more often. It is very easy to style and besides light shades of grey can be so perfect for spring. As much as I love colour & crazy prints, sometimes I feel like wearing something a bit toned down.

Back to the subject of this post and that is styling bermuda shorts. When it comes to shorts, I always go for a longer lengths because it feels more comfortable and practical. In addition, a longer length of shorts is appropriate for all kind of occasions. You can even pair longer shorts with a blazer to get a more formal look. When you add tights into the mix, you get a work appropriate outfit. The answer to my question of the day- How to style Bermuda shorts in a dressed up way is: wear them with tights and heels. If you're going for a dressed up look, a nice shirt or a blouse is always welcome. You can also throw a blazer over it. Anyhow, this is my spring outfit proposal. You can see a summer version of this outfit here.

As far as location is concerned, we're still in Mostar. Isn't it a gorgeous city? These images were taken in front of Croatian theater Kosacha in Mostar. It was a lovely sunny day and it was my birthday.  I've literally just remembered that! Yes, you're looking at my birthday outfit. I forgot where we went for lunch that day (or did we?), but I remember that I made strawberry pie later in the day. It was a busy day and I haven't had the time to celebrate my birthday properly, but I'm not complaining. You don't always need a great celebration. As cheesy as it sounds, I'm just happy to be alive and breathing.

    I adore grey as much as I love white and black. It's a colour that I personally find easy to match and wear.

    i love your blouse!!! this is a real beauty piece of fashion. the bermuda short is ok, but not really my taste. but i love this tights! i like it, that you taking an opaque pantyhose instead of a teint pantyhose. these tights is a perfect match to your look

    i think you should wear this monochrome/one colored look very often - it fits you.

    Your shorts are lovely and the silk blouse is so nice with them - dresses them up perfectly, such a good birthday outfit! I find bermuda shorts really wearable - I featured them in one of my 30 ways to wear posts this year, a wardrobe staple for me!

    Hope that you had a lovely weekend and you're having a good start to your week :)

    I agree with you Ivana that grey is an underestimated color but it's a color that looks beautiful even in all the seasons. My father use to say it as 'royal color'. He always want to buy a grey color saree for my mother..hahaha..
    Your outfit is so elegant here. I love that Bermuda style shorts and the way you have paired it with that silk blouse. The best thing is that you have worn it with those lovely tights which made is more classy. I need to add some silk blouse like yours. The bow tie has enhanced the beauty of that blouse. You are looking so beautiful.
    Have a fantastic day <3 Kisses <3

    I totally agree about grey being such an underestimated colour. It is actually my favorite neutral and I love it even more than black and white because I find it more subtle and easier to wear. Bermuda shorts are the best style of shorts for dressing up IMHO and you done a lovely job of styling them in this outfit which looks so ladylike and chic!

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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #40, A VIEW FROM MARINE LUČICA SPLIT (CROATIA)

Hello blog readers and fellow bloggers! It's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post that is another posting in my art series. In this post, I'll share an acrylic painting inspired by a location in Split city, Croatia. I used one of my own photographs as a reference for this painting. The format of this painting is quite small, but I'm pretty content with how it turned out. Furthermore, I might do another version of this painting on a canvas. I will share more details about the location and the painting shortly, but first a few words about why and how I'm sharing it.  As you might know if you read my blog regularly, TRAVEL WITH MY ART is basically a regular feature on my blog where I post my art (paintings & illustration) inspired by different places. I will mostly illustrate and paint places I have visited, but sometimes I will paint based of a photograph a friend has sent me or one that caught my eye. Sometimes I will paint places I would like to visit as opposed

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way
