FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY: WIW AS A WEDDING GUEST
Hello! Welcome to a new Friday fashion illustration post. Technically speaking, the two fashion illustrations I'm sharing aren't new, but this outfit is. New in the sense that I haven't posted it before, not in the sense that the clothing items as new! As you know, I'm the queen of shopping my closet. In this post, I'll share an outfit I wore for a wedding I attended recently. Ever since I got married and moved to Herzegovina, I had to become an expert wedding guest. In Herzegovina, you get invited to everyone's wedding, especially if you're Catholic. It's not unheard of for a wedding to have up to a thousand guests!
Once again I shopped my closet for my trusted items. I pulled out an elegant black midi dress with ruffles that I got in a collab ages ago and that I still wear. Upon glancing these photographs, I realized that I illustrated this dress before. So, I decided to post it in my Friday Fashion Illustration series.
The outfit was quite simple because I was feeling exhausted and I just wanted to be comfortable. However, the styling ended up looking quite chic, so I guess it was a win. Sometimes simplicity pays off. When it comes to fashion, I like to experiment and have fun, but I also love the simplicity of an elegant black styling.
So, I paired the above mentioned simple dress with black kitten heel shoes and an olive blazer (that I've had for ages). I finished the look with a golden scarf I bought on Malta. This lovely silk scarf has a Maltese crosses print and it just a perfect cover up. I have to say I was really happy with how pulled together this effortless outfit looked.

Sonnet
The Rainbow
Bow down in hope, in thanks, all ye who mourn;—
Where'in that peerless arche of radiant hues
Surpassing earthly tints,—the storm subdues!
Of nature's strife and tears 'tis heaven-born,
To soothe the sad, the sinning, and forlorn;
A lovely loving token to infuse
The hope, the faith, that pow'r divine endures
With latent good the woes by which we're torn.—
'Tis like a sweet repentance of the skies,
To beckon all by sense of sin opprest,—
Revealing harmony from tears and sighs!
A pledge:—that deep implanted in the breast
A hidden light may burn that never dies,
But bursts thro' clouds in purest hues exprest!

Thank you for visiting!
Radobolja summer house is wonderful! I don't know if I've ever seen a more beautiful, romantic and luxurious place for a wedding! And I have to admit that you look fantastic!!! It's like you're an actress in a Spanish film and a flamenco dancer :) Superb styling and pictures 👏👍
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind comments!
DeleteEs un elegante vestido. Me gustaron tus bocetos. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias!
DeleteI completely get the feeling of your social battery running out—attending weddings all the time can be draining, no matter how beautiful the venue or how special the occasion. It’s a nice touch that you were able to capture so many lovely memories through photographs, though! The garden at Ljetnikovac Radobolja is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's a lovely garden indeed!
DeleteRecharging our social battery is important.
Ivana, you are very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Irina.
DeleteOh, such a wonderful outfit. And to be at so many weddings. I love your art from your sketches too! Such great outings. Nice to hear people are getting married. A rare occasion here in the Heartland. Now days, they just go off on a destination wedding. Some, just get married alone in the forest or maybe a Halloween party. Great to see your ingenuity and beauty. All the best to a wonderful November!
ReplyDeleteYes, destination weddings are quite popular.
DeleteThere are pros and cons to anything.
If I were to get married again, I honestly don't know what I would choose.
There's a certain beauty to a traditional wedding.
However, I'm also quite a private person.
So lovely. What a great scarf to go with this outfit. Love it! And I love seeing your art as well, so exciting! Wishing you all the best with your creativity! Thanks so much! Thank you for your notes, as well. All the best to you beautiful Autumn.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteStunning outfit and love your art. The gold scarf really adds to it :-D
ReplyDeleteI need to wear this scarf more. Accessories can make such a difference!

ReplyDeleteYour illustrations inspire me every time, absolutely great. You look very elegant in the outfit with the golden stole.
Happy weekend
Much appreciated! I'm happy to bring inspiration:)
DeleteAh this is a great classic look to wear to a wedding. You look great and love how you wore your hair as well. The illustrations are lovely and such a nice reflection of you. Love this!

Thank you. Usually I get more dressed up, but I realized that you cannot go wrong with a classical black dress.
DeleteThat's a lot of wedding guests!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your hair parted in the centre and slicked back like that, you look so glamorous. The gold shawl is fantastic.
My grandma always told us that if you had to go out and buy an outfit especially for an occasion then you'd failed, a great wardrobe has clothes for every eventuality! xxx
I absolutely agree with your grandmother. I can understand that someone who is very young (a teenager, or in their early twenties) must go out and buy clothes for special occasions, but those of us who have had a change to build our wardrobe, should be able to just pull something out!
DeleteYou look effortlessly chic and elegant in your wedding guest outfit, Ivana! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI love the outfit you wore to the wedding! Wedding are filled with so much love. Definitely wish I could attend more. 😁

Thank you. Could you go instead of me sometimes:)? If you visit, I promise to let you take my place from time to time.
DeleteLove this look! Gorgeous black dress. You are looking fabulous. Wishing you a great day!
ReplyDeleteRampdiary
Thank you.
DeleteGoodness, to be invited to so many weddings. I rarely get wedding invitations so they seem very special when I do although I do find it tiring making conversation if there aren't many people I know.
ReplyDeleteYour golden Maltese wrap is so beautiful and looks the perfect luxurious item for a wedding- I am always a bit cautious with silk too!
The black dress is really beautiful is a great backdrop for the gold.
That's very good of you and your husband to go seperately so not to disappoint anyone.
Your fashion illustrations are excellent!
xx
Yes, we do that often...but on this occasion we decided to go together. We hardly see one another these days.
DeleteBeautiful outfit, Ivana! Wear that gold scarf - silk is strong and part of owning things is using them. I haven't been to a wedding in years - my friends are all married!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a point!
