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 ...

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

 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 ...

THE LUNCHEON & THE THREE FAT WOMEN OF ANTIBEST , TWO SHORT STORIES BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM (REVIEWS)

Image
Hello! In this post, I'll review two short stories by British author William Somerset Maugham. Both of these shorts stories are on the humorous side. One of these stories feels more serious than the other, but both are quite short, so they are a wonderful choice if you're short on time. As the titles The Luncheon and The Three Fat Women of Antibest imply , both of these short stories are about food, or perhaps better to say- about our relationship with food. As our human relationship with food is often marked by our human obsession with looks, one can examine food from a psychological point of view. That's what Maugham did in these stories.  I reviewed one of Maugham's humorous stories earlier this month. On second of November, I shared  my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper .  I enjoyed that story a great deal, and thought it was wonderfully humours. Although, most of that story happens during a conversation at a luncheon, it's...
