ALL BLACK WINTER OUTFIT (SPANISH SQUARE, MOSTAR, BIH)

 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers. In this post, I will share an all black outfit with you. I've shopped my closet for this outfit. When your wardrobe is composed of clothing items you love, dressing up is never a chore. It is easy to find new ways to combine the clothing items you're already familiar with and know how to use and wear. 

The weather these days is sunny and (sometimes) windy. The wind can be quite strong here so layering is a must. I opted for faux fur accessories for extra warmth, wearing both faux fur leg warmers and a faux fur stole. I just now realized these two items have identical looking black faux fur. That's just a nice confidence,though. I bought these two faux fur items separately. I will share outfit details  below, but first a few words about this lovely location: Spanish Square in Mostar. 

Pozdrav dragi čitatelji i kolege blogeri. U ovom postu s vama ću podijelit potpuno crnu odjevnu kombinaciju. Ova potpuno crna kombinacija sastavljena je od predmeta koje sam već imala u ormaru (i imam ih već neko vrijeme). Kada se vaša garderoba sastoji od odjevnih predmeta koje volite, odjevanje nikada nije naporno. Lako je pronaći nove načine kombiniranja odjevnih predmeta s kojima ste već upoznati i koje znate nositi. 

Vrijeme je ovih dana sunčano, a ponekad i vjetrovito. Vjetar može biti dosta jak pa je nošenje slojeva obavezno. Odlučila sam se za dodatke od umjetnog krzna za dodatnu toplinu, nosila sam i grijače za noge od umjetnog krzna i stolu (također od umjetnog krzna). Tek sada sam shvatila da ova dva predmeta imaju identično crno umjetno krzno, ali to je samo lijepa podudarnost. Ova dva predmeta od umjetnog krzna kupila sam zasebno. U nastavku ću podijeliti detalje o odjevnoj kombinaciji, ali prvo nekoliko riječi o ovoj lijepoj lokaciji: Španjolskom trgu u Mostaru.




THE LOCATION- BEAUTIFUL SPANISH SQUARE IN MOSTAR

The Spanish square is one of most beautiful squares in Mostar. Why is it called Spanish Square? It's because here there is a monument devoted to Spanish soldiers that were killed here in the nineties war. White was the main colour used when this square was redecorated and  I'd say it's an excellent choice for any Mediterranean city. The plants that were planted are Mediterranean too. Nothing better than to sit on a nice bench and breathe in the smell of rosemary. However, my favourite thing about this square is not the new part of it, but one historical building.  Indeed, you could say that the Spanish square is dominated by this historical school constructed during the rule of Austro-Hungarian Empire. This is probably my favourite building in Mostar. It was build in 1890ties. It is know as Old Gymnasium (because it really is old) but it is actually called Gymnasium Mostar. Within this gorgeous  building United World Collage is also situated. In addition, in the back of the building, you can find American Corner. It is a must see spot if you visit Mostar. 

Španjolski trg jedan je od najljepših trgova u Mostaru. Zašto se zove Španjolski trg? To je zato što se tu nalazi spomenik posvećen španjolskim vojnicima koji su ovdje poginuli u ratu devedesetih. Bijela je bila glavna boja korištena kada je ovaj trg preuređen i rekla  bih da je izvrstan izbor za svaki mediteranski grad. Biljke koje su posađene su također mediteranske. Ništa bolje nego sjediti na lijepoj klupi i udisati miris ružmarina. Međutim, meni najdraže na ovom trgu nije njegov novi dio, već jedna povijesna građevina. Doista, moglo bi se reći da španjolskim trgom dominira ova povijesna škola izgrađena za vrijeme vladavine Austro-Ugarske. Ovo je vjerojatno moja najdraža zgrada u Mostaru. Izgrađena je 1890-ih godina. Poznata je kao Stara gimnazija (jer je stvarno stara), ali se zapravo zove Gimnazija Mostar. Unutar ove prekrasne zgrade nalazi se i United World Collage. Osim toga, u stražnjem dijelu zgrade možete pronaći American Corner. To je mjesto koje morate vidjeti ako posjetite Mostar.

THE STORY OF MY OUTFIT
This all black outfit is composed of items I've already had in my closet (and I've had them for a while).
 Sve što nosim je iz moga ormara, kako ja to volim reći kupujem u svom ormaru.

THE CAP- old. I bought it years ago. I did a little 'do it yourself' alteration on this hat when I hand sewed a faux leather bow clip I took from an old pair of shoes.  See how I wore it HERE in 2018.
THE FAUX FUR STOLE- old. Another item I had for years. I bought it back in 2008 or 2009. I included it in my post about my favourite winter outwear in 2019.  You can also see how I styled it HERE and HERE
THE SHORT BLACK COAT (old from Tally Weijl) See plus thirty way to wear it here.
THE A-LINE LITTLE BLACK DRESS- old. See 11 ways to wear this LBD here.
FAUX FUR LEG WARMERS- old. See how I wore them HERE and HERE
BLACK BLAZER& SCARF- The blazer is old and the scarf is borrowed from hubby, neither of these two items is visible on photographs (the coat and the faux fur stole covering them up)



As always thank you for visiting! Have a nice day. Kao i uvijek hvala na posjeti. Ugodan dan želim.
