FRIDAY FASHION ART: HOW TO WEAR AN ARTY GRAPHIC T-SHIRT?

I have worn this baby blue graphic t-shirt two times recently so I decided to share those outfits with you. Besides sharing these two graphic tee outfits, today I'll show you more ideas for styling a graphic tee. So, if you're looking for ideas and tips on styling a graphic tee, you have come to the right place. I don't actually own a lot of graphic t-shirts but I do wear those I have often enough. Some of my graphic tees are quite old. I actually think graphic tees look even cooler when they're all worn out, especially if they are band tees and you are going for that rock chic look.This particular blue t-shirt is relatively new. I nicked it from hubby dearest. If you remember, I ordered it from my redbubble shop as a gift for him. The design on this t-shirt is in fact a print of one of my watercolour paintings. I gifted the original painting to parents if I recall well. New or old graphic t-shirts can be a great way to refresh your spring wardrobe. They can even look polish. Have you ever tried pairing a graphic t-shirt with a suit? 
STYLING A GRAPHIC TEE WITH A GREY SUIT, LILAC SOCKS AND MOCCASINS
This outfit is all about pastel and neutral palette, but then there is this graphic tee that dominates it. The print is all blues and green, but some of those tonalities are quite vibrant. I would say that this t-shirt matches my surrounding but that is kind of obvious because this painting was in fact inspired by island Hvar, so it makes sense it matches well with my present surroundings. I like the mix of styles in this outfit. The elegance of a grey suit against a graphic tee. It is an interesting combination, isn't it?
STYLING A GRAPHIC TEE WITH A STRIPED MINI AND PRINTED TIGHTS 
Another spring outfit idea I have for you today involves this pair of comfy moccasins again. I was asked whether they're branded, I don't think so and I can't recall where I bought them. Anyhow, here I paired this baby blue graphic tee with a striped skirt and printed tights. It was a very cute navy styling, all about that boat chic. Now that I live by the sea, I enjoy navy fashion even more. 
STYLING A GRAPHIC T-SHIRT WITH WHITE JEANS 
This is an older styling of mine, one that I have already shared. White jeans are always fresh and they are  a great option in spring time. If you don't want your t-shirt and white jeans combo to be to casual, don't forget to wear a nice pair of heels or just dressy flat shoes (if heels are not your thing) .
STYLING A GRAPHIC T-SHIRT WITH A GRAPHIC TOTE BAG 
Now, if you really love prints, why not style your graphic t-shirt with a printed tote bag. Browsing my fashion archives, I discovered that I often wear graphic t-shirts with graphic tote bags, such as this one from my redbubble shop.  If you enjoy prints why not pair prints with prints? You can also pair your graphic t-shirt with a graphic skirt, graphic leggings or socks or even a graphic dress. 
MORE IDEAS FOR STYLING A GRAPHIC TEE: 
a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)
With that, we'll bring today's post to a closure. How has life been treating you lately? I'm still exhausted. Some nights I get as little as four hours of sleep. Work life is so hard right now.  I'm working extremely long hours. :(
That would be all for today. Tell me what look do you prefer?

    You wear your graphic tees so well! I've been trying to wear my graphic tees a little more often to change things up a bit as I've been wearing a lot of tees during home isolation! None of mine have special artwork on them like the one you made with your painting though! It's a fun combo with the suit :)

    Hope you are having a great weekend :) We are having a quiet one at home, staying cosy as it's so cold this weekend! Winter is here early!

    To be honest, I haven't worn or even owned any graphic tees for years, as they are not really my style. But they obviously fit in with your style and I love that you've found so many creative ways to wear them. I particularly love the baby blue one printed with that gorgeous painting of yours. That tote bag is gorgeous as well. Hope you are enjoying your weekend, my friend. xxx

    Hello dear Ivana, how you doing? Hope everything is going better in Hvar :)

    I love that art can be a part of fashion, actually fashion can be considered art in many levels and it is nice to see that your illustration can be a t-shirt or any other item if you find a format that suits your style. I love to see that you're rocking this graphic printed shirt with almost all your wardrobe, that's fantastic! Personally I love t shirts because they add the funny touch to my attires, but at the same time they are comfortable an easy to wear :)

    Love that you're taking your art to the next level!

    Have a lovely week ahead!

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 two main timelines, one set in moder

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping.

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

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
