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!

    Pablo

    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 ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...
