TWO WAYS TO WEAR A PUFFED SLEEVE STRIPED BLOUSE FOR SPRING

How to style a puffed sleeved striped vintage blouse with a peter pan collar? This puffed sleeve blouse is one of favourite vintage pieces in my closet. Today I'll show two spring outfits proposals featuring this blouse with you (because I'm all about shopping one's closet). One styling is more work appropriate, while the other is more casual. In both outfits, I used red details to contrast the blue and white stripes. I like to pair red accents with blue toned outfits you know. Another thing I wanted to show you that puffed sleeved shirts and tops aren't that difficult to style. Puff sleeved blouses look fabulous worn with both trousers and skirts. What I like about them is the romantic factor. To me puffed sleeves look very feminine and cute. Puffed tops and blouses can be the perfect way to elevate one's everyday casual or work look. Take a look and tell me whether you agree!

Kako nositi vintage bluzu na prugice puf rukava s ovratnikom Petar Pan? Ova bluza s puf rukavima je jedan od mojih najdražih vintage odjevnih komada. Danas ću vam pokazat dvije proljetne kombinacije s ovim bluzom (jer vjerujem da trebamo kupovati iz vlastitih ormara. Jedna od ovih odjevnih kombinacija je više primjerena za posao dok je druga više ležerna. U oba ruha, koristila sam crvene detalje kako bi stvorila kontrast sa plavim i bijelim prugama. Volim usklađivati crvene modne dodatke s odjevnim kombinacijama u plavom tonalitetu. Još jedna stvar koju sam željela pokazati je da se topovi i košulje puf rukava mogu lako nositi. Bluze s puf rukavima izgledaju odlično nošene i s hlačama i suknjama. Ono što mi se sviđa kod njih je romantični faktor. Meni puf rukavi izgledaju jako ženstveno i slatko. Bluze i topovi put rukava mogu biti savršen način da podignete svakodnevne ležerne ili poslovne odjevne kombinacije. Bacite pogled i recite mi je li se slažete!

PUFF SLEEVED BLOUSE: AN ELEGANT STYLING WITH NAVY BLUE WIDE TROUSERS

Let's start with this office appropriate styling. I actually wore this outfit for work. Anyhow, here I paired this puffed sleeves vintage blouse with navy trousers, a red blazer and a pink bag. I also tied a striped scarf (with red details) to the bag. The bag itself has stripes, and now that I think about it, the red stripe on the pink background looks so cute. I wore dark green boots with both of these outfits as I think dark green looks good with everything. Dark tones can often be as elegant as black. What I like about this outfit is that it includes all the colours I love, but at the same time it is elegant and office appropriate. I feel that we sometimes get stuck in the all black formula for work. However, even if our work place comes with a very formal dress code, often is still possible to infuse colour into our outfits. We can do this with accessories. Moreover, prints are another way to make our work clothing items more interesting. Choosing classical prints such as stripes or dots can be a great way to spice up an elegant styling. Generally speaking,  if you choose classical cut garments, you can get away with adding more colour, patterns and accessories to your formal outfits. It's all about finding balance, isn't it? 

 

 PUFF SLEEVED BLOUSE: A CASUAL STYLING WITH JEANS AND FRINGED BAG

I wore this outfit for a lunch date (in restaurant Radobolja in Mostar in case anyone is wondering) with my significant other. We often dine here, as it is such a lovely and serene spot, an oasis in the city, you might say. Back to the subject of styling a puffed sleeve blouse in a casual way. Here I paired it with jeans, a red fringed bag and dark green boots. Jeans are always a great way to dress anything down and that includes puff sleeve tops and blouses. I felt really comfortable in this styling and I think it looks pretty cute too. This outfit is another example of shopping one's closet. All of these items I have had for a long time. I don't think I wore them together before, though. Isn't that often the case? Generally speaking, we typically don't get enough wear from items we own. Sometimes we really have to think to remember to shop our own closets. 

WHY SHOPPING OUR CLOSETS MAKES SENSE? 

As some of your noticed, I'm a big proponent of shopping our own closets.  I tend to re-wear clothing items quite often. Some outfits I even have on repeat, just changing up little details to make them fresh. I don't think this styling tactic is being lazy.  Relying on our go to outfits and clothing items can save us time. Moreover, I actually enjoy wearing the same items and I know I'm not the only one. By wearing certain clothing items more, we can get to know them better. Thinking of different outfits with one clothing item is a great way to get more creative with our style. You don't need to always be buying new clothes to keep your wardrobe relevant. I wrote about this on my blog so many times. A lot of people are advocating shopping our closets these days, both for environmental and economic factors. As I said before, I'm aware that I'm not revealing anything revolutionary when I point out that shopping our closets makes sense in  more ways than one. I will probably write about it again.
