SPRING TRENDS: HOW TO STYLE MAXI DRESSES FOR SPRING?


Spring is approaching, slowly but surely. The cherry trees have already blossomed, and to me that's the best indication that sunny and warm days are sure to follow. I have a good feeling about this spring. How about you? Are you ready for it? Are you craving those warm and sunny days? Are you planning your spring outfits yet? In case you're looking for some fashion inspiration, I've decided to talk a bit about some of my favourite spring/summer trends. In addition, I selected some items from FashionMia to share with you. 









SPRING TRENDS I'M CRAZY ABOUT

There are a lot of fun trends this Spring. I don't think I commented on them  yet, I just hinted at them with the choice of runaway looks I choose to illustrate. Some of my favourite spring trends are:

- Beige all the way 
(because I love this shade and I'm warming up to neutrals. I have a feeling that total beige looks will become new black),
- Lace and mesh materials, as well as mix of materials
 (if you ask me, lace is sort of a classic but it is always lovely to see these kind of materials trending, especially when paired with other materials)
- Mermaid vibes, vibrant beach colours, sea vibes and wet suits 
(because who doesn't feel that California/tropical paradise vibe? Everybody dreams about a day at the beach, at least once in a while. )
- Oversized and statement hats
 (because we need that sun protection!)
- Prints, prints and prints
 (because that is what we live for. Seriously, I love how this spring all kinds of prints will be trendy, from animal to geometrical ones. I'm really looking forward to that). 





WHAT I PLAN TO BUY THIS SPRING: MAXI DRESSES FOR SPRING

I need to clear out my closets before I get to spring shopping, but I'll probably going to buy some long maxi dresses. I love to wear maxi dresses and this clothing item is definitely ideal for spring and summer.  I'm also on a look out for some new swimming suits. I typically opt for  cheap swimwear, because I do tend to swim a lot and go through swimsuits quickly. Sometimes I do invest into more expensive swimming suits, especially if I see something I really like. I do have a lot of swimwear. I wasn't able to do much swimming last few years, but hopefully this spring and summer, I'll be able to spend more time at the beach. 

HOW TO STYLE MAXI DRESSES FOR SPRING?

Styling maxi dresses for spring is not terribly difficult, is it? You can always pair them with blazers and cute jackets. Moreover, you can opt for long sleeve maxi dresses, especially once it gets warmer, that way you can even get away with not wearing a jacket. Moreover, layering is always a good way to make an outfit more stylish. Perhaps layering is really the key when it comes to styling maxi dresses in spring.  Once you've thought about it, you'll realize there is a number of options for styling maxi dresses in spring. I'll write down ideas for you. For instance, you can layer your maxi dress by:

- wearing a vest with it,
- wearing a blouse, a t-shirt or a shirt over it,
-wearing a cropped top over it,
- wearing a body chain over it,
- wearing a scarf around your waist,
- wearing a scarf as a poncho,
-wearing a regular poncho, 
- wearing a skirt over it,
- wear it with jeans or jeggings,
- wear it with leggings,
- wear it with shorts,
- wearing a crochet or sheer jacket over it.

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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...

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

Image
 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 ...

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.

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...
