17 WAYS TO WEAR A BLACK DRESS WITH A BOLD CHERRY PRINT

Hello there! Today I'll show you 17 ways to wear a cherry print dress. This lovely cherry print dress and yours truly go way back. This dress was the very first dress gifted to me by a brand for a review back in 2015 (five years ago!). Since then, I have worn it many times. In fact, this dark cherry print appeared on my blog more than a dozen times. So, I decided to put together one of those 'X ways to wear an item' that you all seem to enjoy. You know, to promote shopping one's closet, sustainable fashion and all that, but equally importantly because it is fun to look back. Some of these outfits I shared before, while others are more recent (I linked up the older looks). Let's get this party started!

A printed dress is a great summer essential. Cherry print has this vintage nostalgia to it that I really like. It's sweet and feminine. A dress like this one really doesn't need much? It is easy to dress up and down. Sometimes I want to simplify things and take it be easy. Sometimes I want to get ready in five minutes. When I feel like that, I tend to simply grab my favourite summer dress, because sometimes you need to rely on your classics. Why not? As I said once, fashion isn't just about trying new things all the time, it's about finding joy in putting an outfit together!Fashion is also about wearing things you like and cherishing your favourite clothing items.  Fashion is about shopping one's closet. That's my personal definition anyway. Scroll down to see how I wore this dress on a number of occasions. 
1. WITH WHITE HEELS, DIY NECKLACE AND A BELT WORN AS A SCARF

    The cut and style of this dress are immensely flattering on you - what a classic dress! I call these "jammie dresses" (i.e. pajama dresses) or "one and done" (as in, one item and you're good to go). They are so easy and comfortable to wear, with not a lot of effort. I find that the challenge is changing them up slightly - I enjoy that.

    Cherry print is so delightfully retro - that rockabilly look is fun.

      Yes, I love your 'jammie' expression. We all need dresses like this one. I wear it for work, dates and all sorts of things. I just put it on and I'm ready to go. The fun challenge is changing the look slightly with accessories.

    This has always been one of my favorite dresses of yours because I love a good cherry motif. The different ways you style it really highlight how it can have a vintage or more modern feel.

    Hey Ivana, this post about styling a same piece in different occasions with tons of multiple combinations was so good, specially because you styled a dress that has such a powerful and colorful print, many people tend to think that in order to have a sustainable and functional closet we are not allowed to wear prints, but that's a lie! Here you showed us that there are tons of options to make it work!

    Love all the combinations, specially the one with the black cap (I have a similar one) and those where you are wearing a coat, this dress is even wearable in the summer!

    Enjoy the weekend!

    Nikada nisam imala u ormaru haljinu sličnu ovoj i bilo mi je interesantno da vidim kako si je ti iskombinovala. Neke varijante su u mom stilu, neke malo manje, ali sviđa mi se što si nabrojala dosta načina i što si otvorena za to da eksperimentišeš i učiniš autfit na taj način zanimljivijim. Odličan post.❤️

    It's such a beautiful dress- I like the different ways you styled it! I like it with the white belt- I wouldn't have though to pair it with a white belt but it is really nice!

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...

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.

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...
