5 VINTAGE PIECES I HAVE WORN THE MOST IN 2019

Hello darlings! I thought it would be fun if I did a little recap with vintage items I have worn the most last year. I love vintage clothes and I think they add something interesting to every outfit. There are so many benefits to wearing vintage clothes, from ecological to practical ones. Vintage items are often quality made, meaning you can rely on them. Moreover, vintage pieces add that sense of history and style to the most simple of our outfits. I often pair my vintage items with my every day items. Typically I don't do the all vintage (historically and period accurate) looks, rather I pair my vintage pieces with modern clothes. So, let's see what items I have worn the most this year. The photographs are linked with the original outfit posts in case you want to see more. Scroll down to see more. 


1. A VINTAGE PINK KNIT CARDIGAN 
My grandmother was so happy to see me wear this pink knit recently. She was happy I have kept it all these years and so am I. There is nothing better than a clothing item that comes with a story. Well, this pink knit sure has a story to tell. Moreover, I love that it is pink. I don't have that many pink items in my wardrobe and I do like this colour. The length of this knit is lovely too, perfect for pairing with high waist items (that I'm rather partial too). This vintage knit is  precious to me. 

2. A VINTAGE  PLEATED PINK DRESS
The next vintage item I have worn this year also comes in pink. Now, I have spoken about this pleated dresses many times on my blog. It is another family vintage item. My mother got it from her relatives from Australia & New Zealand ages ago. She wore it to some wedding when she was still a teen. That's the only time she's worn it, but fortunately she kept it and I've been wearing it for years, this year being no exception. I don't wear it on every day basis because I want to keep it for as long as I can, but I don't wear it only for special occasions either. I love pulling it out of my closet and styling it as day wear. 


3. A PAIR OF VINTAGE LEVI'S 501 
Now it is time for a more casual item. This pair of vintage Levi's 501 was probably one of the most worn jeans in my closet.  I don't wear jeans on every day basis, but when I do, it is usually a vintage pair of jeans that I opt for. This pair is older than me and it was a lucky find. I'm so happy to own it. I find this classical cut really so easy to wear. Sometimes I pair my Levi's 501 while sneakers and sometimes I dress them up with heeled boots. I enjoy wearing my Levi's 501 in all seasons.





4. A VINTAGE YELLOW BLAZER 
This yellow blazer is actually a part of a matching suit, but I have worn it a lot on its own this year. It's such a great piece, a ray of sunshine in my wardrobe. I find it really easy to style and I wear it with anything from dresses to leggings and jeans. I plan to wear it in year 2020 as well. 

5. A VINTAGE PAIR OF WHITE JEANS 
White jeans are such a great addition to our wardrobe. They are neutral and easy to style. I own a few pairs of white jeans and they are all vintage. This year I wore them a lot. I often reached for them in the colder months, because I like the whole 'wear white in the winter' thing. I think white touches can really freshen up our winter outfits. I definitely plan to keep on wearing white jeans in 2020. 
That would be all for today. How do you like these outfits. What vintage pieces have you worn the most in 2019? What vintage pieces do you plan to wear in 2020? Thank you for reading!

    What a great round-up of outfits, Ivana! I'm especially enamoured by your pink cardigan (I have a very similar one) and the pink pleated dress. You sure know how to wear white jeans, too, and I love the outfit where you're wearing them with the white floral maxi dress! Hurray for vintage pieces, which will never go out of fashion! xxx

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...

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 ...

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...

Image
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...
