A FLORAL SHIRT PAIRED WITH AN A-LINE SKIRT FROM OZZ

 Hello dear readers and visitors to my blog! Thank you for always leaving sweet comments. Sometimes blogging can be such a lovely distraction from stresses of everyday life.  Today I'll share a flirty and fun summer outfit with you. This is the kind of outfit  that can be easily layered (in case it's already getting colder where you are). To transition this styling into an early Autumn outfit, all that  would be needed is a blazer or a jacket of some kind. It's still summer, but it is fun to think about transitional looks. Anyhow, I wore this outfit for a date with my husband. I wanted to look feminine and chic. I reached for a skirt from Ozz brand (from a local fashion designer Stanka Zovko). If you remember, I bought this skirt (a part of a matching set) in a recent haul (see more HERE). Life is too short not to have fun with clothes. I'm all for overdressing as often as possible!

THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT - HOW I WORE IT BEFORE?
As I already said, I wore this for a date with my husband. First we went for a walk around Mostar city and then we went to a nearby restaurant near by. Initially, I tied the ends of my shirt to make it cropped, but then it suddenly got windy so I untied it. Fun thing about shirts/blouses/tops is that you can always tie or untie a knot, changing them up from cropped to regular length in second. 
 I shopped my closet for this look, meaning I already had all of these items. I won't link up my sunglasses because I wear them all the time. If I remember well, I bought this pair in DM (a German store chain that you can find at any corner in Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. I also wore transparent tights and a underskirt. Bellow I will share links to previous looks with these clothing items in order to promote sustainability and give you more fashion illustration. 
THE FLORAL SHIRT (Grazia store, not branded). Bought in a local store, this floral shirt has been with me for years. I love the print and the fact that it comes with ruffles. See how I styled it before HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE (AND  here, here , here and here.)
THE A-LINE POLKA DOT SKIRT (Ozz, Stanka Zovko). You can see how I styled this skirt HERE. I'm so in love with this piece, I think I'll get to 30 wears in no time.
THE BLACK STILETTOS (not braded)- I've had this pair for a few years. I often reach for them for special occasions or date nights. I do love a good stiletto. See how I wore it HERE, HERE AND HERE.
THE BLACK MINI BAG (from Borsa store, not sure about the brand). See how I wore it HERE , HERE and HERE.
What do you think about this outfit? Does it look better cropped? 



ROMANCA IS A RESTAURANT I VISIT OFTEN!

PREVIOUSLY VISITED- RESTAURANT ROMANCA

HERE- OCTOBER 2018






POST UPDATE APRIL 2022


The location for the photographs is restaurant Romanca near Mostar (#notsponsored). This lovely restaurant is surrounded by a vineyard, so as you can imagine it's a very serene and romantic place. We love to go there to enjoy some peace and quiet.  Moreover, there's a great selection of wine. I don't drink myself, but I love learning about wine. Herzegovina has a great wine tradition, it's one of the things this region is famous for.  What else is Herzegovina famous for? Warm climate, many rivers, beautiful nature,  lots of sunshine and pomegranates. 

Lokacija za fotografije je restoran Romanca kod Mostara (nije sponsorirano). Ovaj ljupki restoran okružen je vinogradom, pa je, kao što možete zamisliti, vrlo spokojno i romantično mjesto. Volimo ići tamo uživati ​​u miru i tišini. Štoviše, postoji veliki izbor vina. Ne pijem alkohol nijedne vrste, ali volim učiti o vinu. Hercegovina ima veliku vinsku tradiciju, to je jedna od stvari po čemu je ovaj kraj poznat. Po čemu je još poznata Hercegovina? Topla klima, mnoštvo rijeka, prekrasna priroda, puno sunca i šipci.



RESTAURANT ROMANCA NEAR MOSTAR (not sponsored in any way)
I can definitely recommend this gorgeous restaurant in vicinity of Mostar city. It is surrounded by greenary. In fact, the restaurant itself is practically located in a midst of vineyard.  I don't drink wine (or any alcohol) but they are known to have great wines. There is a little wine shop in the restaurant. The garden surrounding the restaurant is very pretty. Perfect for taking photographs. What I like about this restaurant is that is very quiet there. A perfect green oasis for a quick escape from the city! Plus, we always like to say hi to two horses that live there. During our last visit, I wasn't very hungry so I just had apple cake. My husband had a more substantial meal. Anyhow, we both enjoyed our meals. 




Thank you for visiting and commenting. Have a lovely day!

    Hi Ivana
    You are very chic in this look, I like to see the blouse with the knot more, the look is more interesting that way! The skirt is beautiful and with a color that is trending, it went very well with this blouse! And, this restaurant is beautiful, I don't drink alcohol either!

    I loved to see the skirt up close because from the full outfit photos, I didn't realize it was polka dotted. Good for you for cropping the top up that way, it's so fabulous on you Ivana.

    Hello Ivana, always happy to stop by and say hi!

    As you well said blogging can be a good way to distract ourselves from the daily life, it is also a good way to surround ourselves with creatives mates :) Thank you always for your support.

    I think I have tell you before that this tone of purple is currently on my lists of favorites things! I think you created a fantastic color combo in pastels, perfect for these summer days. I just noticed the polka dots until the closer shots! So good to hear that you had the chance to enjoy a walk and a nice meal with your husband :)

    All the best and have a lovely weekend!

    Classic, fantastic blouse. You've styled it in such a fun, diverse variety of ways. Summer is rapidly taking its last bow around these parts, so lightweight shirts worn sans other layers will not be possible for much longer (unless one is in the mood for chattering teeth, lol). Thank you for the reminder to rock a few more of them before multi-layered ensembles become de rigueur again around these Canadian parts.

    I hope you're doing positively, sweet dear, and that your September is off to a sunny, safe, and very happy start.

    Isn't blogging amazing? I am constantly lifted by the supportive comments I get too. :)

    Oh my goodness, girlfriend! You are much bolder than me in showing your midsection! But then you are much slenderer and are rocking your abs! Good for you! I prefer the blouse cropped vs. untucked, which looks unfinished to me. I think this blouse should be tucked into the skirt to emphasize the A-line of the bottom. Worn loose is the wrong feel for this outfit, although if it's more comfortable that way for you, maybe a thin belt over the blouse?

    What a lovely looking place that is! I would be over visiting the horses too! :)

      Part of it is angles. I'm sure my abs are not visible in every position. I'm pretty comfortable showing midsection as long as I'm wearing high waist items, then it doesn't feel like too much. I agree that the blouse should be either tucked in or cropped to emphasize the A-line, that's how I've been wearing it lately. I think blouse would be just as comfortable tucked in, but I'd prefer wearing it with tights then to make sure it would stay in place. I was wearing an underskirt this time but a low waist one so I wasn't sure would the blouse stay tucked in (even if skirt itself is high waist). Ah, clothes and logistics:)

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

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

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
