HOW TO STYLE A FLARED SLEEVE JACKET? KAKO NOSITI JAKNICU ŠIROKIH RUKAVA?

Happy second day of summer! How are you doing? Today I have a feminine summer outfit proposal for you. One could also call it a spring outfit, but what can I say? Right now summer feels more like spring. Not that I'm complaining. As the title indicates, today I'll give you ideas for styling a flared sleeved jacket. I do like this navy blue flared jacket. I'm not sure whether I should call it as jacket or a blouse. Maybe a light jacket would be the best definition. I paired it with a grey dress and leopard tights. I finished the look with a burgundy heels and bag. The beauty of an outfit like this one is that it is appropriate for a variety of occasions. Sometimes I like to keep things simple.

HR Sretan drugi dan ljeta! Kako ste? Danas sa vama dijelim ženstvenu ljetnu odjevnu kombinaciju. Mogli bismo je nazvati i proljetnom kombinacijom ali što reći? Zasada je ljeto više kao proljeće. Nije da se žalim. Kao što naslov govori, danas ću vam dati ideje za nositi jaknicu širokih rukava. Sviđa mi se ova jaknica. Nikad nisam sigurno je li bi je trebala zvati bluza ili jakna. Možda je najbolje reći da je lagana jaknica. Nosila sam ju sa sivom haljinom i najlonkama leopard uzorka. Dovršila sam odjevnu kombinaciju s cipelama i torbom boje vina. Ljepota ovakve odjevne kombinacije je u tome što je prikladna za različite prilike. Ponekad volim jednostavnost u odijevanju. 
THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT & HOW I WORE IT BEFORE
There is only one new item in my outfit. Most of this elegant spring to summer outfit consists of clothing items I've had for a while. Can you guess what is new? It is the leopard print tights. I don't remember the name of the brand, but I do enjoy wearing this pair. I'm sure I'll get to 30 wears in no time. As you know I like to wear my clothing items a minimum of 30 times for sustainability reasons. To promote sustainability, I also like to link up the previous ways I wore some clothing item. 
THE GREY DRESS
I bought this dress two ago in New Yorker (I think). It is a cotton blend dress that has really come in handy on a number of occasions. This grey dress is so comfortable to wear and quite easy to style. I often wear it to work. You can see how I wore it in the past here, here, here , here , here and here.
THE BLOCK HEELS
This pair of square heels was handed down to me so they're second hand. See how I styled them here, here and here.
THE FLARE JACKET
I'm not sure for how long I had this blouse, probably not long for my standards, probably for about two years. Instead of linking my previous outfits, I decided to share them with you. 
OTHER WAYS I WORE THIS FLARED JACKET (AKA FLARED BLOUSE)
1. WITH BLUE FLARE JEANS
This outfit was an example of matching flares with flares and I loved it. 

2. & 3. WITH A STRIPED SKIRT
I have paired this flared sleeved jacket with one striped skirt twice. These were two different outfits, though. One featured a red flared top, the other a turtleneck. Different shoes options as well, demonstrating the power shoe choice has. Notice how more pulled together the outfit with heels looks? 
4. WITH BLUE JEANS AND A WHITE SHIRT
This is an outfit I wore to a historical medieval fair and I had a blast. I need to repeat this combo someday. It is so easy and comfortable. What do you think? I like how this jacket looks great with both casual and dressed up outfits.
5. WITH BLUE JEANS AND A SWEATER UNDERNEATH
This is a fairy similar combo but with more accessories and a striped sweater layered underneath.
6. WITH WHITE JEANS
Nothing says summer chic like white jeans, am I right or what? I do like how this flared sleeve jacket looks with white jeans. If you want to make this look more dressed up, opt for heels. 
7. WITH A PINK DRESS AND GREY TIGHTS

8. WITH BW DRESS AND POINTY STILETTOS

9. WITH A GREY DRESS, LEOPARD TIGHTS, BURGUNDY HEELS AND BAG
Finally, the combo I'm sharing with you today- one that I have worn fairly recently. How do you like it? Let me know in the comments which outfit is you favourite one. 
Thank you so much for stopping by dear reader or/and fellow blogger. Stay safe and take care!

    This is such a cute outfit - I like how you've used burgundy accents with it, and I adore those leopard tights. I have tights that are over 10 years old!

    That's a great jacket. My favourite past look with it is with the white trousers - very nautical!

    Hello Ivana
    Here, summer also feels more like spring !! And, today it looks like autumn, and the meteorologists said it was going to be 40C with some dust from the African desert, it didn't happen, I don't think they can guess much ahahhah !! As for your flared navy jacket it is adorable, although I don't use navy color, it’s not one of my favorites. As always your looks and styling ideas are always a great inspiration !!

    I've always admired this flare-sleeved jacket of yours, which is quirky and timeless at the same time. I'm always amazed with the outfits you create with one single item in the starring role. My favourite this time is the option with the striped jacket and dashes of red. Oh, and I have many pairs of tights I've worn 30 times or more. I'm wearing them all through Winter and they last for years! 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 two main timelines, one set in moder

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

Image
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

Image
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

Image
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!

Image
 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
