SHOPPING MY CLOSET FOR SIX COMFY OUTFITS

Hello dear readers! Thank you for your sweet comments. I am feeling a bit better today, I found some pain killers that helped somewhat. Today I will share six outfits with you that I wore during our stay in a medical facility in Ilidza, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am currently in Croatia, but before I blog about that I wanted to share these comfortable and casual outfits. Today I will prove that I am more than capable of  ditching heels in favour of sneakers and orthopedic sandals, at least occasionally.

 I love to wear heels but one often needs a more comfortable shoe choice, especially for walks. Just because you shoe options are on comfortable side does not mean you cannot make your outfits stylish and chic. Today we will combine comfort with style. We will start with three outfits featuring a grey dress of mine. I have worn this dress quite a few times, but I am still shy of the recommended ecological thirty wears. I-m getting close, though. In this old post, you can see 13 ways to wear this grey dress and in this post you can see additional two ways to style it. As you know, I aspire to wear every item at least thirty times for sustainability reasons. If I can go over thirty wears, that is even better.  Scroll down to see how I shopped my closet to create these 6 comfy but chic outfits. 

OUTFIT NO.1
A GREY DRESS PAIRED WITH TROPICAL PRINT SANDALS AND A LONG SCARF
This was a comfortable outfit perfect for strolling around during a sunny day. I paired my grey dress with a statement printed scarf that I wrapped as a sort of pareo and a pair of tropical print heels. In this post, you can see 30 wears to wear this pair of printed sandals and in this post you can see another way to style this printed yellow and green scarf. 

OUTFIT NO. 2 A GREY DRESS WORN WITH A NAVY FLARED SLEEVE JACKET AND SNEAKERS
This outfit is a perfect mix of feminine and casual. Again, this was an outfit I wore for a walk in a park. This time I tied this flared sleeved jacket around my waist. I love to wear it that way as it creates a peplum feel. If you want to see 10 more ways to style this flared jacket check out this post.  You can also see how I wore this jacket recently with a pink dress here.  Moreover, you can see how I styled this pair of sneakers before here and this straw bag here. 




OUTFIT NO. 3 A GREY DRESS PAIRED WITH LEGGINGS, SNEAKERS AND A NAVY JACKET
This outfit is a more layered version of the outfit above. I basically just added leggings to it. This is a great early Autumn outfit idea. Right now, during the day it still feels like Summer here. However, both in the morning and in the evening it gets colder and one can feel Autumn has arrived. So, I layer my morning and evening outfits. 



3 MORE OUTFITS TO GO! Now, that I showed you three ways to style that grey dress, I can show you three more comfy outfit ideas.


OUTFIT NO. 4 A WHITE TUNICS WORN WITH BLACK LEGGINGS AND STARTAS SNEAKERS
This is another sporty and casual styling I wore for a walk with my husband. It worked really well and I will definitely wear it again but as it is getting colder I will add a jacket. Now that I think of it, I wore a similar outfit while in Biograd, but that one was with heels. Apparently, I can live without heels.  


OUTFIT NO.5 A BLUE GRECIAN DRESS AND TROPICAL SANDALS
I could not resist wearing this blue dress for a walk because the day was so sunny and warm. It seems you can be comfortable and feminine at the same time. Beauty does not always have to hurt. 


OUTFIT NO. 6    A YELLOW JUMPSUIT PAIRED WITH BW SNEAKERS AND A BURGUNDY JACKET
This would be my last comfy outfit proposal. As you can see, here I paired my yellow jumpsuit with sneakers and a burgundy jacket. 



Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!

    I'm loving the simplicity of that grey dress which makes it even more versatile. My favourite styling by far is the first one, with the pareo style scarf, which is absolutely brilliant.
    I'm also loving the yellow jumpsuit paired with the burgundy jacket, and of course your blue Grecian dress is as stunning as always! xxx

    I find it so frustrating that people so often think that comfy = casual and dressy = uncomfortable. It is not just one or the other, as you have clearly shown here, Ivana! We can be very comfy but still look nice. I am going more and more to flatter shoes and fewer heels as I get older, but I will never give up a dressy style!

    Love these fun outfits!

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

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 ...

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...
