Jeans Worn Over a Dress (Outfit Proposal).


Today I'm back with another outfit proposal. Wearing dresses over jeans is something that I've enjoyed doing since high school. Lately, I've been more drawn to this look because I feel it is such a great summer outfit. The last few outfits  I shared featuring dresses and jeans combos were predominately white, so today I'm going to share an all blue look. In this outfit I pared a blue navy dress with classical cut blue jeans and brown sandals. I think this outfit looks pretty cute. What do you think? It is certainly a very comfy summer styling. The location for the photographs is, as most of the time, lovely Mostar city.

Now that we got that covered, I want to apologise for my absence, I stayed in hospital a bit longer that I originally thought I will. I was only discharged from hospital yesterday. If you remember, I went there for an operation of my paralysed vocal cord, a procedure called tyhroplasty.  I was admitted to hospital this Monday, but as there were some emergency cases, I had to wait for my operation until the day prior to yesterday. Unfortunately, the operation wasn't successful, that is, it wasn't possible to place an implant in my paralysed vocal cord, but I'm perfectly fine just feeling a bit sore as is totally normal after any kind of operation.

 I will need to do another (different) operation in a few months probably this Autumn. Until then, my voice will remain as it was. The operation didn't cause me any harm, it seems that it just wasn't the right kind of procedure for me but there was no knowing it before I tried. These things happen and it's actually nothing terribly dangerous. If you want to know more about paralysed vocal cords and available treatments, I can always write more about it. As you know, I've only recently found out some things about it myself. Anyway, I will be catching up with your comments and blogs this week. I probably won't be able to blog daily, as I usually do, so it might take me a few days to catch up with all of you. I'm away from the city I'm normally based in, and I have to stay in a new city for a few days, to have my check ups and have my stitches removed.  I'm actually borrowing the laptop I'm typing on right now. Thank you for your understanding!

    I'm sorry to hear that your operation wasn't as successful as it was intended to be! I'm glad to hear that you are okay and that it didn't get worse from the operation. Sometimes you just have to do what is necessary to feel and be your best! I have to say, I have noticed a lot more people wearing this outfit with a dress over jeans. I think it is much more European and way less American, thus I don't see it a lot in the states! I feel like a lot of people wear this in Itlay. I say this because a close friend of mine is Italian and she has been wearing jeans and dresses like this for as long as I can remember!

    Your dress looks great over jeans! This is an outfit combination I need to try one day, I still haven't yet!

    So sorry to hear that the operation didn't go as planned though - hopefully your recovery and follow ups go well and you can return home again soon. I understand you trying to keep up with blogging - I did the same when my son was in hospital as it was a bit or normality in a crazy time, borrowing a laptop was a good idea, but remember not to tire yourself out too much and rest when you can! :)

    Hope you are having a great weekend so far :)

    Hey Ivana, hope you're enjoying summer days! I was off for a little time but now I'm back to the blogging world and ready to share more content with readers, as always I really want to thank all your constant support.

    First of all I am sorry to hear that your operation didn't go as it supposed to. Fortunately you're facing this event with the best attitude and even tho is hard sometimes we need to understand that there are factors and things that go out of our control, make sure to surround yourself with small things you love in order to do better: art, blogging, strolling around your city, etc. It is a small trick but it works in this kind of situations, trust me.

    On the other side I'm happy to see that you're always playing with your clothes in order to try new things... Long life to jeans and the multiple ways we have to wear them!

    Best and I'm gonna stop at the other posts I missed!

    Your outfit is making me nostalgic as I also used to be a fan of wearing dresses over jeans as well and now I'm inspired to do the same again. I'm so sorry that this last operation didn't give you the best results Ivana. Hopefully the next one will. In the meantime do continue to take good care of yourself. That's the most important thing. The blog will be here and so will your readers when you can post.

    Cavoli, mi dispiace tanto che la tua operazione non sia andata bene come ti sapettavi, Ivana... Per quanto possa esser stata una procedura poco invasiva è comunque un'operazione, il che comporta stress e preoccupazioni a prescindere!
    Speriamo che la prossima vada bene e tu riesca a guarire definitivamente!
    Molto carino il tuo look, trovo che quell'abito stia particolarmente bene abbinato ai jeans, risulta tutto molto omogeneo e stiloso!
    Tu sei deliziosa come sempre! :)
    Baci!

    Dear Ivana, I'm very sorry your operation didn't work and you have to have another operation. I'm impressed that you nevertheless don't lost your optimism. All the best to you and that finally you will feel well again after this operation. Yes, I want to know more about your paralysed vocal cord. And about your look: I like it a lot. As you I think that denims and a dress are a perfect combination - only my husband has in this context a different opionion :)
    Take care <3

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.

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

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

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

 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

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
