TWO MORE WAYS TO WEAR A LONG SLEEVED GREY DRESS (SPLIT CITY)

 Hello readers! How are you doing? I came back to Split city (for work reasons) last Friday. I'm not sure how long I will stay here, it depends entirely on my work contract. Naturally, I'm always happy to be back in my beautiful home town. It seems I'm not the only one, as there still are tourists around. Anyhow, today I will show you two more ways to style this simple long sleeved grey dress. I've had this comfortable 'bellow the knee' dress for a few years and on overall found it really practical. I love that it is an item that can be worn all year around and that is exactly what I did. In a recent post, I showed you three ways to wear this grey dress.  In this post from 2020, I showed you additional thirteen ways to style it and in this post from 2021 two more winter outfits with it. I also wore this grey dress with a faux fur coat while I shared some reading recommendations. I think I'm getting close to 30 wears with this one and that's great because then it will be a sustainable purchase. 

OUTFIT NUMBER #1 - WORN WITH BURGUNDY TIGHTS, A YELLOW BAG AND BEIGE LOAFERS
Last Friday I wore it in the morning to take care of some chores. For my morning outfit, I paired this dress with with beige loafers, burgundy tights and a yellow bag. A comfortable outfit for what proved to be a busy morning.I was a bit hot in the tights in the morning, but I was happy to have them on in the afternoon. Anyhow, isn't Split always gorgeous? Here are some links in case you want to know more about it.

OUTFIT NUMBER #2- WORN WITH BURGUNDY TIGHTS, A TURQUOISE NECKLACE, A YELLOW AND GREEN BELTED SCARF, A YELLOW BAG AND BLACK ANKLE HEELED BOOTS 

This was an outfit I wore in the afternoon for a lunch date in restaurant Asia with my husband. Similar to the first 'morning' outfit, this look had more accessories. I belted this scarf and I'm happy with how it looked. My stomach is swollen because my Chron disease is flaring so this combo worked well to hide that. The heeled ankle boots were a good choice too, but alas this was the last time I wore them. Yes, this pair is no more- it has fallen apart. It's fine really, as I worn this pair often enough in the past.

Thank you for reading and visiting.

    Ivana I'm crossing my fingers for you to get that contract, it's always good to go back to our origins! I'm struggling to get 30 ways to wear...
    I liked the most to see you with the scarf on your belt, it was very elegant in addition to the function of hiding your belly!

    A great basic wardrobe piece, this dress looks fabulous on you. I'm not surprised you've worn it so much, Ivana - it really does go with everything. I really love the yellow with it, and the addition of the turquoise really makes the second look sing (I LOVE that necklace!). Sorry to hear that your boots fell apart, but now you can invest in a good quality pair with the goal of wearing THEM out! :)

    Have a wonderful week, my dear friend! I hope you feel better soon. *hug*

    Hello, dearest Ivana!
    It's really great how different the dress looks with the accessories. You have created two great looks - and I am particularly thrilled that the belted scarf makes the dress look like a completely new, different piece of clothing.
    All the best from Austria,
    Traude

    What a shame about the boots. It's hard to let go the comfortable ones, especially when they have high heels. But you had them for a long time, so it was worth getting them. The dress is stunning and I like how easily you changed it. Fab!!

    Hi again dear Ivana,

    Good luck with your stay in Split! Hope you get the best out of it!

    Now talking about the fashion report in this outfit I always congratulate you for the way you push us to train and practice our creative when it comes to wear our clothes in different ways! Many people tend to think that grey is a boring color but the truth is that it seems to me like a white canvas where the possibilities are endless and you can mix it with almost any color! I like the way you added explosive colors in some of the proposals, making the gray contrasting and serving as the background for your outfits!

    I also loved the yellow bag! Such a funny way to add a pop of colour to this long sleeved grey top!

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

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

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!

 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
