TWO WAYS TO STYLE A BLUE PLEATED SKIRT FOR WINTER

 Today I'll show you two ways to style a blue pleated skirt. Winter is definitely here to stay, it's gotten colder and that means it's time to pull out those winter accessories out of our closets. I already blogged about my favourite winter accessories here, so long story short in winter I rely heavily on hats and scarves. Most of traditional winter accessories we know are quite practical, so obviously they are a great way to stay warm while looking chic. I wore hats and scarves with both outfits I'm sharing with you today and they did a great job of keeping me warm and cozy. Scroll down for more.


I enjoyed styling this blue skirt so much. Everything about this outfit is old. More precisely, this lovely blue skirt is new to me but it is second hand (someone gave it to me) and quite possibly also vintage. I styled it with two different short coats, boots and hats but the outfit formula itself is pretty simple. First outfit is all about black tones, I wore this blue pleated skirt with a short black coat (see here the 30 plus ways to style it), a black pair of block heels and a grey structured hat with a DIY detail (a leather black bow I sewed onto it myself). The mini bag I wore was brown to match the brown details on my predominately blue scarf and to add some other colour besides black and blue.

The second outfit is all about brown tones. This time I paired this blue skirt with a short camel coat  (previously worn here, here and here) and caramel boots.  I also wore an oversize beige scarf (see how to style it here and here) and a knitted beanie. This outfit was just as cozy as the first one. Besides, I do like the brown and blue colour combo. Blue is a great choice for winter because it matches well with earthly tones.  I do like to wear shorter (but not cropped) belted coats in winter.  They are a great way to stay warm and when belted they can look quite chic too. 
Thank you for reading and visiting! Have a lovely Sunday!

    It's a beautiful skirt and I like it with both outfits but I think the one with the blue scarf is my favourite - you know I love my blues! :)

    Hope that you are having a great weekend :)

    These are both great winter looks! Hats add so much personality to an outfit! The blue really pops against brow. That skirt is gorgeous.

    What a lovely skirt to be given, you have some very kind friends!
    Two lovely outfits, I do like blue with brown, it's a combination I often wear too - brown clothes, blue nails!
    Something needs to be at least 25 years old for it to be called vintage. If you ever need to know if something you own is vintage include a photo of the label in your post and one of your readers will, no doubt, be able to give you more information xxx

    That skirt is such a lovely shade of blue and the pleats are so classic and timeless. Both looks are so stylish and cozy. I love how your accessories are both fun and functional which all good winter accessories should be really ;p I definitely rely on my accessories for both.

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...

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...
