WHAT I WORE: SIX OUTFITS, ONE BAG

Hello dear readers & fellow bloggers! How are you? Today I'm back with 6 new spring outfits. Last time I shared a collection of outfits was here. I typically share my outfit photographs jointly with my art, travel and book review posts, but sometimes I like to share a few outfits together in a single post. A little fashion update, if you will. You know, it was only after I put this post together that one thing occurred to me. I'm wearing the same bag with all of these outfits. Isn't it funny how that happens? I still have quite a few outfits to share so there might be more posts like this in future. There are also a few travel posts from island Hvar that I saved but haven't shared yet.  We'll just have to wait and see what I will feel like sharing before, won't we? In the meantime,  scroll down to see what have I been wearing lately. 

OUTFIT IDEA #1: PINK CARDI PAIRED WITH A WHITE OFF SHOULDER TUNICS, BELLISSIMA SKIRT AND HEELED BOOTS 

I remember how happy I was to wear this outfit. It was a sunny day after many a rainy one and  I felt like wearing a properly spring outfit. This is what I have come up with. I wore a white off shoulder tunic but not exactly off shoulder. I adjusted it a bit higher on my shoulders and I let the pink vintage cardigan fall a bit lower. I was quite proud of myself of figuring a way to wear this lovely white tunics over this lovely pink vintage knit. This skirt seemed like a good option as well and since it was a bit fresh I wore it with boots. I also wore a red floral choker necklace I designed and made myself when I was a teenager. I still remember being complemented on it from exam teachers when I took my finals at my high school (a long time ago). I plan to repeat this outfit with warmer weather shoes one of these days (when it stops raining). 

OUTFIT IDEA #2 : LEOPARD PRINT DRESS PAIRED WITH A GREY BLAZER AND HEELED BOOTS

You might notice that I'm wearing the same ankle pointy boots as I did in the previous outfit. In fact, I will be wearing them in most outfits I will share with you today. Bellow is an outfit I wore for a semi-formal family Confirmation lunch. Well, we didn't actually attended the lunch, we came later. We decided not to risk it and avoided the family lunch. Instead we stopped by later when all the guests were gone and brought the presents. 

 

OUTFIT IDEA #3: SEMI- PLEATED SKIRT PAIRED WITH HAND-PAINTED TOP, BURGUNDY JACKET & TIGHTS AND HEELED BOOTS

Again, I'm wearing the same skirt and even the same boots as in the first outfit I shared. The burgundy jacket and tights are also items I frequently wear. This pastel green top, however, doesn't get worn as much as it deserves. I actually painted this top with textile paints. Besides a hand drawn floral design, there is also my inscription that reads- MODA ODA RADOSTI (that translated as - fashion the ode to hoy- the name of my blog). I wore this styling for a walk and a visit to Bunica river.

OUTFIT IDEA #4: A PAIR OF FLARED BLUE JEANS, A WHITE TUNICS, A MINT BLAZER AND HEELED BOOTS

This easy to put together styling was something I wore for an evening walk (and that's why the photographs are a bit blurry). There was still some sunshine but it got in the way. 



OUTFIT #5: A GREEN DRESS, STRIPED SHIRT, AN UMBRELLA AND PEKO BLOCK HEEL BOOTS.
When I left out the home, it was raining. However, soon it cleared out and I was left feeling too hot in this warm seaweed dress. Not the best choice of outfit but sometimes the weather cannot be predicted.


OUTFIT #6: A WHITE OFF SHOULDER TUNICS, A FLORAL SKIRT AND BEIGE DRIVING LOAFERS
This is another styling I wore for a walk. This was a very comfortable outfit. 

That would be all for today.  Happy Monday! Thank you for reading and have a great week ahead.

    I love that you repeat elements from these looks from outfit to outfit - that's the same tunic in the last outfit as you've layered under your pink cardi, right? I like seeing daily outfits - you're very creative with how you mix and match your wardrobe, Ivana!

    Happy Monday!

      Thank you Sheila. It's the same tunics. I want to make a 30 wears post with it one of these days, so I'm wearing it as much as I can.

    Such lovely Spring looks. I like how you styled an array of unique and eclectic outfits while also managing to incorporate some of the same pieces. I usually end up wearing the same purse most of the time because I'm too lazy to move everything into another one ;p

    Hi
    I love this type of posts, I discovered this recently !! I really liked your looks, they have a vintage touch due to the fact that you only buy in your wardrobe! I especially liked the look with jeans!

    These are great outfits, all so varied! I really like the spring colours of the last one! :) And I can see why you wear that bag a lot - a good crossbody that goes with everything is an essential! :)

    Hope your week is off to a good start :)

    I do love all the outfits Ivana!! Even though I change out my purses regularly, there are times that the same one gets worn for a bunch of outfits at a time!! I think that's wonderfully realistic!

    Hola Ivana, hope you're doing great!

    I think there are a lot of great options here and you showd many different styles, from more casual alternatives to things that can work in a formal situation or if you're running important errands :) I see your wardrobe is really diverse and has a lot of possible combinations.

    I think all the outfits are really inspiring but I feel very identified with the one of the grey blazer (very elegant but you can also twist it depending on what you're wearing beneath or with the shoes) and then the mint / pistachio blazer with the baggy jeans, that's my favorite and it is totally my style! By the way I always love that you're proposing a lot of colorful fashion!

    I love that off-the-shoulder tunic, and how you repeated it in several outfits. The first one is without a doubt my favourite, and you can justifiably be proud of it. It is delightful and a clever way to wear that tunic when it's not yet warm enough to wear it on its own and/or off-shoulder.
    Regarding your bag, I can relate to the fact that you are carrying the same one with each of your outfits. In spite of my extensive bag collection, I have been carrying the same bag to work for months, switching to a cross-body cork bag whenever we go anywhere on my non-working days. xxx

    Dearest Ivana, these are great spring outfits that you are showing here! The first is very extravagant and especially creative. You look wonderful in all of your mixes. And isn't it nice that the same bag goes with all outfits ?! (I almost always carry my favorite bag, a present from my friend Maria.)
    Hugs and best wishes, Traude

    There's so many lovely outfits here. I really like the green top you drew yourself. I've always wondered what your blog title means so that was good to find out! Definitely would be good to see more of it.
    I really like your off the shoulder top- it's really lovely. I look forward to your Summer iteration of wearing it.x

All your comments mean a lot to me, even the criticism. Naravno da mi puno znači što ste uzeli vrijeme da nešto napišete, pa makar to bila i kritika. Per me le vostre parole sono sempre preziose anche quando si tratta di critiche.

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...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
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...
