LEOPARD PRINT LEGGINGS FOR A VISIT TO PLANINICA HILL

EN Planinica is a name of a lovely hill overlooking Mostar city. It was featured on my blog a number of times. I definitely do recommend visiting it, especially if you find yourself in this area. It is only a short drive from Mostar city and the views are nothing short of spectacular. If you're lucky you might even encounter wild animals. I've talked about this place more than once, and do feel free to check out those old posts if you want to know more (here, here , here and here are some of them). Today I'll be showing you my outfit (and share some tips about styling leopard print) and the photographs I took while we were there. Scroll down to see and read more.

HR Planinca je brdo iznad Mostara. Pokazivala sam ga na blogu više puta. Svakako ga preporučavam posjetiti, pogotovo ako se nađete u blizini. Nalazi se nadomak Mostara, automobilom se možete dovesti za čas, a vidici su stvarno predivni. Ukoliko imate sreće možete čak i susresti divlje životinje. Govorila sam (ili bolje rečeno pisala) o ovom mjestu više puta, pa slobodno pogledate stare objave ako želite znati više (četiri poveznice su u engleskom dijelu teksta). Danas ću vam pokazati odjevnu kombinaciju i podijeliti malo savjeta o leopard uzorku kao i fotografije koje sam uslikala dok smo bili gore.

Our last visit to Planinica was a last minute sort of thing. We ended up going for a longer hike than we planned,and that was interesting to say the least. As you can see, I dressed very sensibly (fake leather booties with high heels are obviously NOT the perfect choice of footwear for hiking). Well, at least I was sensible enough to dress warmly. That's something, right? Whenever you're planning a climb of any kind, even if it is just a nearby hill, you should wear warmly. My choice of footwear, on the other hand, proved to be a really bad choice once my significant other ventured far away and left me to hurry in his footsteps.  I did catch up with him, but man it was hard. Fortunately, I didn't slip or anything like that. I balance those rocks like a wild goat. Seriously, my sense of balance is pretty much perfect (as I have proved by climbing rocks in heels a number of times).

What is not perfect are my iron levels. I kind of collapsed on our way back. But it was kind of nice, collapsing there on the grass while the sun was shining. It was a kind of a serene moment. Naturally, my partner helped me up. Long story short, no harm was done. I'm working on getting my iron levels up but unfortunately I don't respond well to iron supplements and I had a severe allergic reaction to iron transfusion (so severe I'll never try that again). Right now, I'm trying to alter my diet to include more iron. How are your iron levels? I know a lot of ladies struggle with it. It can make one feel terribly tired. Still, I think that it's important to get out as much as possible. Fresh air and all that stop. As you know, I'm a big believer in spending as much time outdoors as possible.

HOW TO STYLE LEOPARD LEGGINGS?

I've had this pair of leopard leggings for a while now. Taken that leopard print is still trending (and really isn't there something classical about it?) I figured it would be good to show you my favourite way to wear these leggings. Recently I have got  really into brown tones. Leopard works perfectly with brown, because of obvious reasons. Black and brown (beige) are great colour choices and they go particularly well with leopard. This winter styling is all about those brownish and beige tones. It is also all about keeping warm. It was still quite cold when these images were taken (back in February), so I wore pretty much all winter accessories you can think of: scarf, gloves and beanie. Full winter gear, you might say. I think my outfit was quite hiking appropriate minus the boots. If you want to see more ways to style leopard leggings, you can check out my old posts:

BENEFITS OF SPENDING TIME OUTDOORS

I'm growing increasingly convinced that spending time outdoors is beneficial for our health. As I stressed in this post, it is tempting to stay indoors when it is cold, but we really should learn how to make most of what life hands out. Spring is at the door now, but this winter I really made an effort to live in the present and enjoy winter as it is. Now, I'm really happy I did just that. I always feel better after a walk or a hike in nature. There are many proven benefits of spending time outdoors and I think that especially applies to spending time in nature. Human body was made for movement and a serenity way of life has many health hazards. As bloggers (aka people who spend a lot of time behind laptop screens), we really should make an effort to get out more. Do you agree? Perhaps that's a benefit of fashion blogging, you're forced to go out at least occasionally, to shot outfits and other stuff. What do you say? Are you making an effort to get out more?






Thank you for reading. I hope you have enjoyed visiting Planinica with me. Have a lovely day!
