PLUS 30 WAYS TO WEAR A RED BLAZER

 Hello readers! How are you doing? I'm back with another plus '30 ways to wear an item' post.  Earth day being here and all that, it is good to think about ways for being more sustainable in our fashion choices such as wearing vintage/secondhand clothes, making the most of our closets and shopping cleverly. One of the easiest ways to be more sustainable is to shop our closets and making sure we wear every item in our closet 30 times or more. That way we can make our closet more eco-friendly. This is naturally easier to achieve with outwear than with evening gowns, but where there is a will there is a way. 





Getting to plus thirty wears with this blazer has been quite easy. I'm pretty sure that the real 'wear' number is much higher as I don't always photograph my outfits. This red cropped blazer is a brilliant piece that looks amazing with everything. At price of ten euros, it's one of the best purchases I have ever made. I bought it about 7 years ago in a small shop near the National Theatre in Split city. I need to visit that little shop again, I always find cute things in it. Anyhow, scoll down  to see plus 30 ways to wear this red blazer.

#1 & #2
My first two outfit proposals are about styling a red blazer for transitional weather. In the first styling I paired it with a yellow tartan skirt (vintage) and a turtleneck. For the second look I wore it with a grey dress and faux fur collar. 

#3
The third styling is transitional as well. I paired this red blazer with a thick knit turtleneck and boots. I have also worn one of my DIY necklaces.

#4, #5, #6

The fourth, the fifth and the sixth outfits show how I wore this blazer with dresses. I love to wear it with dresses because it is cropped so it makes the dresses stand out more. These are all Spring and Summer looks. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can wear this kind of outfits again.

#7, #8, #9, #10

Outfit proposas 7-10 are all about feminine spring vibes. Here you can see how I styled this red blazer with statement dresses and in case of outfit 9-with a pencil denim skirt.

#11, #12
Outfits 11 and 12 show how I styled this red blazer with two different pairs of black flared jeans ( one pair is cord, the other ordinary jeans). Both outfits are quite simple, but one is worn many years ago and the other not so long back in 2020 when I lived on island Hvar.

#13, #14

Outfits 13 and 14 are all about jeans again, notice how I added touches of red to these outfits.
#15, #16

Outfits 15 and 16 show me pairing this red blazer with some of my favourite skirts. I've just noticed that I'm wearing the same bag in both of these outfits 

#17, #18

Outfits 17 and 18 are all about pairing this red blazer with dresses. They are both suitable for transitional weather.

#19
Outfit proposal number 19 is suitable for cold weather. Here I used this red blazer to layer my outfit and add visual interest.


#20 
Paired with a blue top and navy pants, this red blazer styling is all about Spring vibes.

#21
This is an outfit I wore a few months ago and really enjoyed. Again, I used the red blazer for layering.
#22

Here I paired my  red blazer with a magneta coat and a light beige maxi skirt. 

#23
Outfit proposal 23 is what I wore for a visit to nature park Hutovo blato.
#24
I love pairing this red blazer with this Bellissima semiplaid skirt. They are a match made in heaven. 
#25
One more proposal with jeans, this time with cropped jeans and a yellow bag.
#26
This cherry print dress is a lovely match with this red blazer.

#27 & #28

Outfits 27 & 28 featuring this red blazer are more recent ones, they were both worn this year.

#29

Outfit 29 is one of my all time favourite outfits.

#30 
Look number 30 is similiar to another look I shared today, the only difference is the colour of the tights.

#31
Outfit proposal 31 is something I wore for work a few years ago. I think the combination was quite smart.
#32
Outfit proposal number 32 is all about Spring vibes as well. 


#33
Finally outfit 33 is something I have worn recently and a proper Spring outfit.

Do you wear blazers? Do you have a red blazer? What are some of the most worn items in your closet?

    Hello Ivana, first of all thanks for your latest comment on my blog post. I really appreciate that you take the time to visit my site :)

    And I hope you're doing well! It seems that time is getting a bit warmer but there's an occassion to wear our blazers as much as possible during spring :)

    I JUST LOVE BLAZERS! It is probably the thing that I am looking to buy the most since a good blazer could spice almost every outfit. You can go even for a simple option with a t-shirt and jeans, but then you are the blazer and you're ready to ;)

    I don't have a red blazer but I should get one now since you are giving us a lot of interesting ideas. Sometimes people say that they don't like to buy colorful pieces since they can't combine them, but here you demonstrate that it is possible to wear color in many situations ;) I just congratulate you since red could be difficult to wear but here you a have a lot of options for almost every situation!

    Take care and enjoy the weekend!

      Thank you. I agree. With a blazer even a simple jeans and a t-shirt outfit can be incredibly chic.

    Fantastic styling, that red blazer looks wonderful in all of your outfits and was worth every penny.
    I don't "do" tailored clothing, no blazers in my wardrobe! xxx

    I can definitely see how you've managed to get to over 30 wears with this blazer. The pretty color and classic cut definitely delivers so much versatility as all your lovely outfits nicely illustrate.

    That is a gorgeous red blazer, Ivana, and you are rockin' it!! You're showing that it can go with everything, and the marvelous versatility of dressing it up or down, depending on your mood. I love it with the added fur collar, and my favourite outfits are where you pick up another bit of red elsewhere in your outfits. Well done on 30+ wears! So appropriate for Earth Day!

    Well done on 30+ wears for that red blazer. Not surprisingly really, as it's a real classic! Now that I come to think of it, a red blazer is something which is still lacking in my wardrobe! xxx

    This is such a fun blazer on you! I really like how well you layer with it - layering both over and under it! You're very creative with your outfits :)

    it's always nice to see a piece get worn so much!

    Hope you are having a good weekend :)

    I do think that this red blazer can be so versatile in our closets. It's great to see how you styled it both casually and dressed up. And with so many color combinations.

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 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

Image
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

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 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

Image
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
