FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: WINTER TO SPRING TRANSITION

 Hello! How are you doing? I've been working hard writing and preparing new content for this little digital place to call my own. I have a lot of interesting projects in the making, book reviews and different articles to finish up and polish before publishing. In the meantime, I decided to share a few more simple fashion sketches and illustrations with you. Therefore, today I'm back with another FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY post. As you might know, I often post my fashion art on Friday. You could even say it is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog.  I envisioned this post to be light and easy. There will be plenty of more substantial, intellectual and even borderline academic posts in the future. In this post, we'll talk about transitional fashion.  I'll let you take a peek in my sketchbook and see a variety of my sketches. Sketchbooks are often like creative diaries. They give insight in what is happening in someone's head. 

The spring has officially arrived but that doesn't mean all of can can afford to throw our coats away just yet. I live in a Mediterranean climate myself. If I still need a coat, I know that chances are you ladies living in the colder climate do too. I'm not ready to put away my favourite winter outwear and warm sweaters yet.  So, I'll share some of my tricks for transiting from Winter to Spring. For me this transition is all about wanting to embrace the new season while avoiding catching a cold. Being a resident of a Mediterranean country, I'm blessed with an abundance of sunny days. However, sunny doesn't always mean cold free. I still have to layer things up, even in sunny Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. This is how I approach transitional fashion.

Zdravo! Kako ste? Naporno sam radila pišući i pripremajući nove sadržaje za ovo malo digitalno mjesto koje mogu nazvati svojim. Imam puno zanimljivih projekata u izradi, recenzija knjiga i raznih članaka koje moram doraditi i dotjerati prije objavljivanja. U međuvremenu sam odlučila s vama podijeliti još nekoliko jednostavnih modnih skica i ilustracija. Stoga se danas vraćam s još jednom objavom MODNA ILUSTRACIJA PETKOM. Kao što možda znate, često objavljujem svoju modne ilustracije petkom. Moglo bi se čak reći da je donekle redovita rubrika na mom blogu. Zamislila sam ovaj post u laganini stilu. U budućnosti će biti mnogo značajnijih, intelektualnih, pa čak i pomalo akademskih objava. U ovom postu ćemo govoriti o prijelaznoj modi to jest odjevanju na prijelazu iz jednog godišnjeg doba. Dopustit ću vam da zavirite u moju blok za skiciranje i vidite razne moje skice. Blokovi za skiciranje su često poput kreativnih dnevnika. Daju uvid u ono što se događa u nečijoj glavi.

Proljeće je službeno stiglo, ali to ne znači da si svi još uvijek mogu priuštiti bacanje kaputa. I sama živim u mediteranskoj klimi. Ako meni još uvijek treba kaput, znam da je velika vjerojatnost da i vi dame koje živite u hladnijoj klimi još trebate nositi slojeve. Još nisam spremna odložiti omiljenu zimsku odjeću i tople veste. Dakle, podijelit ću neke svoje trikove za prijelaz iz zime u proljeće. Za mene je ovaj prijelaz u znaku prihvaćanja novu sezonu, a da pritom izbjegnem prehladu. Budući da sam stanovnica mediteranske zemlje, blagoslovljena sam obiljem sunčanih dana. Međutim, sunčano ne znači uvijek potpunu odustnost hladnoće. Još uvijek moram se odjevati slojevito, čak i u sunčanoj Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini. Ovako ja to radim.

This sketch I'm sharing is a good example of a transitional spring outfit. As for the sketch itself, it was done with watercolour pencils. I wore a dark blue shirt with a Mandarin collar but layered it with a thick black sweater dress. Knits are perfect for keeping warm. Plus, I wore statement earrings to invoke the feeling of spring. Accessories are a good way to invoke spring. More about that in a minute.

I actually love the fashion of transitional period. It's possibly the only time of the year you get away wearing a pair of winter boots with a summer dress or shorts without looking like a fashion victim. You can wear a teddy bear coat with a playsuit/romper or a nice pair of sandals with a business suit. It's a time of possibilities. Scroll down to read more about transitional fashion. 

Ova skica koju dijelim dobar je primjer prijelaznog proljetnog outfita. Što se same skice tiče, rađena je akvarel olovkama. Nosila sam tamnoplavu košulju s ruskom ovratnikom, ali sam ju nosila uz debelu crnu džemper haljinu. Pleteni odjevni komadi su savršene za održavanje topline. Osim toga, nosila sam velike naušnice kako bih prizvala osjećaj proljeća. Modni dodaci su dobar način za prizivanje proljeća. Više o tome za minutu.

Ja zapravo volim modu prijelaznog razdoblja. Vjerojatno je to jedino doba godine kada možete nositi par zimskih čizama uz ljetnu haljinu ili kratke hlače, a da ne izgledate kao žrtva mode. Kaput umjetnim krznom možete nositi uz kratki kombinezon ili lijepe sandale uz poslovno odijelo. Vrijeme je to za kreativne mogućnosti. Nastavite sa čitanjem kako biste saznali više o tranzicijskoj modi.

 


FIVE TRICKS FOR SMOOTH WINTER TO SPRING TRANSITION

1. DON'T GET RID OF YOUR SWEATERS YET

Sweaters and knits are very useful items to have during a transitional period. A sweater dress in particular is a great choice for those days when you don't want to sacrifice the warmth and comfort. You can layer your knit under a blazer (or if it is still quite cold) under a coat. You can always invoke spring by opting for cheerful colours.

PET TRIKOVA ZA UGODAN PRIJELAZ IZ ZIME U PROLJEĆE

1. NEMOJTE SE JOŠ RIJEŠITI SVOJIH DŽEMPERA

Džemperi i pleteni komadi vrlo su korisni odjevni predmeti tijekom prijelaznog razdoblja. Osobito je džemper haljina odličan izbor za one dane kada ne želite žrtvovati toplinu i udobnost. Pletivo možete nositi ispod blejzera (ili ako je još dosta hladno) ispod kaputa. Uvijek možete dozvati proljeće odabirom veselih boja.


2. COMBINE WARM AND LIGHT FABRICS, DARK AND LIGHT COLOURS

Don't be afraid to mix things up. A lot of people have a seasonal wardrobe that is darker and neutral in the colder months and lighter and vivid in the warmer months. This might not be the case for you, but if it is don't let that limit you. Don't be afraid to mix up different colours to maximize the items you have in your closet. Likewise, don't be afraid to pair thicker materials with lighter ones. Why not wear a summer skirt or a dress with a coat? Clothes are there to be worn and enjoyed, not to collect dust in the closet. There are also there to keep you warm and comfortable. Why not dress for comfort and not just for style? Wear the combination of fabrics that will keep you warm. It's all about finding the right balance. 

2. KOMBINIRAJTE TOPLE I LAGANE TKANINE, TAME I SVIJETLE BOJE

Nemojte se bojati pomiješati stilove. Puno ljudi ima sezonsku garderobu koja je tamnija i neutralna u hladnijim mjesecima, a svjetlija i živopisnija u toplijim mjesecima. To možda nije slučaj za vas, ali ako jest, nemojte dopustiti da vas to ograničava. Nemojte se bojati pomiješati različite boje kako biste povećali broj nosivih predmeta koje imate u svom ormaru. Isto tako, nemojte se bojati kombinirati deblje materijale s lakšim. Zašto ne nosite ljetnu suknju ili haljinu uz kaput? Odjeća je tu da se nosi i uživa u njoj, a ne da skuplja prašinu u ormaru. Tu su i da vam bude toplo i ugodno. Zašto se ne odjenuti zbog udobnosti, a ne samo zbog stila? Nosite kombinaciju tkanina koja će vas grijati. Sve je u pronalaženju prave ravnoteže.


3. COMBINE SPRING FOOTWEAR WITH WARM CLOTHES OR WINTER BOOTS WITH LIGHT FABRICS

Staying comfortable is often all about helping our body to maintain a normal temperature. Footwear can be a great way to do that. If you choose to reveal more skin or to wear a spring/ summer dress while it is still fresh or even cold, you can counteract that by wearing a pair of warm boots. Similarly, if you choose a warm maxi dress or anything that will keep most of you body warm, you can wear open sandals or something like that. It's all about finding balance. What is fun about transitional fashion is that it allows us to experiment. 

3. KOMBINIRAJTE PROLJETNE OBUĆU S TOPLIJOM ODJEĆOM ILI ZIMSKU S PROLJETNOM

Udoban boravak na otvorenom ili u zatvorenom često znači pomaganje našem tijelu da održi normalnu temperaturu. Prikladna obuća može biti izvrstan način za to. Ako odlučite otkriti više kože ili odjenuti proljetno/ljetnu haljinu dok je još svježe ili prohladno, tome se možete suprotstaviti tako što ćete nositi par toplih čizama. Slično, ako odaberete toplu maksi haljinu ili bilo što što će vas ugrijati, možete nositi otvorene sandale ili nešto slično. Sve je u pronalaženju ravnoteže. Ono što je zabavno kod tranzicijske mode je to što nam omogućuje eksperimentiranje.

4. MASTER LAYERING TO BECOME A FASHION PRO!

Layering is obviously very important when it comes to winter to spring transition. Often it is the only way to avoid overheating or freezing when the weather is changeable. Layering also gives us an opportunity to play with textures and styles. 

4. SVLADAJTE SLOJEVITO ODJEVANJE I POSTANITE MODNI STRUČNJAK!

Slojevitost je očito vrlo važna kada je u pitanju prijelaz iz zime u proljeće. Često je to jedini način da se izbjegne pregrijavanje ili smrzavanje kada je vrijeme promjenjivo. Slojevitost nam također daje priliku da se poigramo s teksturama i stilom.


5. USE SPRING  AND SUMMER ACCESSORIES TO INVOKE WARMER WEATHER

The easiest way to invoke spring is by wearing spring accessories. Colourful scarves, statement necklaces and straw hats can do the trick. Colour therapy is always a good idea.

5. KORISTITE PROLJETNE I LJETNE MODNE DODATKE KAKO BISTE PRIZVALI TOPLJE VRIJEME

Proljeće ćete najlakše prizvati nošenjem proljetnih dodataka. Šareni šalovi, statement ogrlice i slamnati šeširi mogu učiniti trik. Terapija bojama je uvijek dobra ideja.

    Yes as much as we would like, I don't think most us can abandon our coats yet especially during the early days of spring. Your tips are practical and easy to execute. I agree that layering is key especially during the transitional seasons when the weather can be quite different depending on the time of day. We had a day earlier this week in NY where it felt like winter in the morning and was almost summer-like by the early evening. The outfits you show are all good choices that are stylish and weather appropriate.

    Such wonderful designs! Thanks so much for your inspiration! Love the models hair the most! But I have always liked hair when doing my own drawing. I must admit I'm not good with faces. I'm glad you are back and have so many projects in the works. Its great to see your post����������

    I found myself nodding as I read each of your tips, Ivana! Today, I'm wearing what most people would classify as a spring skirt (my rainbow one), with wooly grey winter boots, and a grey sweater, adding bright pops with my outerwear and accessories (pink and yellow) to brighten things up.

    I love seeing glimpses into your sketchbook - your illustrations are awesome! I like the lead one of you with your hair in braids - those earrings are fabulous! - and many of the others too.

    I always enjoy this "shoulder" season, when you can layer up and play with clothes a bit more, mixing colour and building layers for both warmth and visual interest! Great post!

    Have a lovely weekend, my dear friend!

    I loved this peek into your sketchbook, Ivana! Both your fashion illustrations and your outfits are a joy to behold. I'm still firmly embracing my Winter wardrobe, incorporating jumpers and coats into my transitional outfits. We still have frosty mornings warming up to nearly 20°C during the day, which isn't easy to get dressed for. Also, colder temperatures have been forecasted again for next week, so I'm not about to wear my Spring/Summer wardrobe just yet! xxx

    I do love your illustrations, especially the marvellous braided hair and Bollywood-style chandelier earrings.
    Great tips. I love this time of year - its frosty in the morning but often sunbathing weather by lunchtime and the bright & sunny skies really show off blues, pink and yellows. xxx

    Hi,
    I think that without having used the terminology of transitional fashion we ended up talking about the same thing! I think self portraits are very difficult to do, but you did it very well! Like the other illustrations, I really liked the light blue pleated dress!

    Hey Ivana,

    Everything in this post is perfect and inspiring! First of all I am excited to see what you're working on for Moda Odaradosti, I imagine there are many interesting posts and it is always nice to stop by your site during a coffee break to get inspired.

    And I totally get your point about coats, I still wear them a lot cause as you I live in the Mediterranean too and I won't probably see my knits 'till late November or even more! So let's use our coats as much as possible haha! I think the best part of spring are transitions since there are a lot of interesting fashion combinations since it is not too cold or too hot right? Thanks for these tips, I'll make sure to keep my sweaters close to me.

    And these portraits are perfect, specially for the color palette in blue, green and pink that you used! It has a certain feeling of fantasy and magic.

    Both your sketches and your outfits are really gorgeous! I love the blue pleated dress and that beautiful brown leather coat and they look so good teamed together. I agree about not putting the jumpers away yet. I decided to just wear a light cotton shirt today. I wore a yellow lightweight raincoat on top and absolutely FROZE whilst I waited for a train for 20 mins and cycled home. My teeth were actually chattering! Jumper for me tomorrow! Proper coat too!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 heart of a woman (an outfit post and a book recommendation / Srce žene (odjevna objava i preporuka knjige)

Image
  The Heart of a Woman   is a memoir by Maya Angelou. The events she describes in this book take place between 1957 and 1962 and in that sense this book is a continuation of her previous memoirs.  I do admire her courage when it comes to blending literature with autobiography. It is not an easy task and only a few have really gotten away with it. To narrate one's life, any period of it, in such an intimate way demands great courage, but turning that narration into a literature takes a kind of discipline and self restraint only great writers have, thought people generally don't realize how hard writing on this level really is. Years ago, I found a quote by Maya that really moved me but instead of looking her up immediately, I decided to wait. My intuition told me that a book by her will arrive at the perfect moment. Having read doctor Martin Luther King's autobiography earlier this year put many events in context. However, this memoir is much more than a sum of events, it i

PLUS 30 WAYS TO WEAR A BABY BLUE DRESS AND LEOPARD HEELS (OUTFIT POST, MOSTAR)

Image
 Hello! In this post, I'll share a sustainable baby blue and leopard spring styling. A pale blue might not be the first choice with leopard, but why not? For me leopard print is sort of a classic. I actually love to pair it with all kinds of colours, from more vibrant ones to pales ones. In the past, I paired it with cobalt blue . I definitely do not feel that leopard should be worn only with neutral colours. I mean I paired leopard with white, grey and black clothing items often enough, but I love to pair it with something that pops, be it a coloured or pattern item. I do love patterns. So, it's not surprising that I love to mix patterns.  Back to my baby blue & leopard outfit. I wore it for an outing and I really enjoyed it. The best about is that it is sustainable. What do I mean by sustainable? Well,  I mean that I not only shopped my closet, but wore most of these items more than thirty times. Mostar is so beautiful in Spring, isn't it? I love strolling the city an

My Sights to see, places to visit feature would surely be missing something if I didn't include this little village Goranci in the list of places to visit. This charming little village is situated in the vicinity of Mostar.  I love to go there to espace the city heat.  If you are into cycling, you'd be happy to hear that you can rent a bike for free. You just need to leave your ID in the restaurant Goranci and you can take the bike. There is a wonderful cycling and pedestrian walk so be sure to check it out. As of recently, there is also a beautiful park at your disposal. This park is growing daily as new things are added to it(toys for kids and that sorts of stuff). If you look closely, you'll be able to see that some decorative trees are still being planted at the enterance to this park.  You can read some of my previous posts about this village here , here and here .

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

Fashion Illustration Friday: Inspired by Colours of Autum

Time for another Fashion Illustration Friday talk. We'll talk autumn and share some new autumn inspired fashion illustrations & outfits. Autumn is a season with one of the most beautiful colour palettes. Just think about all those gorgeous gold and red leaves! Even the fruits of Autumn are visually stunning, for example the delicious and juicy fruits such as pomegranates and grapes. With so much to appeal to our senses, it's hard not to be appreciative of autumn. It is a stunning season indeed, so small wonder I was inspired to create some fashion art. Scroll down to see and read more.  AUTUMN COLOUR COMBOS TO CONSIDER Besides enjoying the colours of autumn, I sure love wearing colour in autumn, and that's what I'll write about today.

Island Hvar inspired this necklace (outfit post)/ Otok Hvar je nadahnuće za ovu ogrlicu (odjevna kombinacija)

If you spent each day on a different Croatian island, it would take you three years to visit them all, as there are more than a 1, 200 islands in Croatia. I visted only one Croatian island this Summer and I'm currently trying to work out in my head how many of them I have visited in my lifetime. Alas, only a handful of them. So many Croatian islands to visit, so little time!   Standing on my grandmother's terrace, I realize the root of my fascination with rocks. Not the precious or expenssive kind but rocks dig from earth so full of them that farming was almost impossible, rocks that build houses and fences, rocks that are testiment to a remarbakle strenght of people who populated and surrowed on islands lacking natural water resources or fertile land, defying thirst,  hunger, pirates and numerous enemy invasions.  I feel at home in both Split and Mostar but when I get off  the ferry and step onto island Hvar, I step into a magical world. It took me a while to define t

The Magic of Nature Park Hutovo Blato: Must See Places in Herzegovina

Image
I've been living as an expat in Bosnia and Herzegovina for almost a decade now. During this rather long period of time, I've discovered many wonderful places that I learned to treasure and appreciate. I wrote about most of them here in this little place I can my own. Still, some places are more special than others. It is hard to say why. Some reasons remain mysterious of the heart. Maybe life is more interesting that way. We don't always have to know everything. Sometimes we fall in love with places just the way we fall in love with people. All I can say is that Hutovo Blato is one of those special places. I've fallen in love with it during my first visit. Maybe it's the sea child in me that's feeling (and missing) the Adriatic? After all, the Adriatic is not far from here. That's what I felt on my first visit: a fascination with how familiar this place felt. Since then, I've been a pretty regular visitor. In many ways this nature park feels absol

Lake Mostar (revisited) / Mostarsko jezero (ponovni posjet).

It is an interesting feeling to get to wear one's own painting. As I repeated many times, I quite enjoy painting with textile paints. You can see some of my previous posts on this subject here , here ,  here and  here  (just in case you're looking for some inspiration). The location where the photographs were taken is Lake Mostar.  I visited it earlier this Summer ( here  and here ) and I found it to be an absolutely beautiful and very calming place. In my effort to  make the most of the last days of Summer, I decided to revisted it....and it was a good call. I had felt blissfully happy while I was there.  Zanimljiv je osjećaj nositi svoje slike.
