Even though its the mid of August and summer isn't (fingers crossed) goin anywhere yet, my mind is slowly drifting into autumn mode. I admit I'm over this heat and I miss being able to layer my clothes and putting more than just one piece of clothing on.
With that being said I took advantage of a day that was a bit "colder" and played with few key pieces that are going to be big this autmn but are perfect for chilly summer days aswell.

Wide belts are a statement piece to have this upcoming fall season. They are perfect for cinching up your waist and creating a bit of a shape to your body.
Wrap-around dresses are another piece which is already trending right now but not leaving the scene - not even in the colder season. The dress is perfect for practicly any body type since the high slit is perfect for elongating your legs, deep V is creating an illusion of a longer neck while the belt where the dress ties at your waist, makes it super lean. Bingo!
Denim. Oh yes, denim is quite big this upcomng season, raging all the way from navy to lighter colors. My fav inspo for styling denim this season definately has to be Dior!

Čeprav je že sredina avgusta in upam, da se poletje še ne bo poslovilo prekmalu pa priznam, da se moje misli že selijo v jesen. Kolca se mi po dnevih, ko bom zopet lahko oblekla več kot samo oblekico in komaj čakam, da bom lahko spet slojila in se igrala z oblačili po mili volji.
Ok, mogoče sem že malo neučakana in sem dan ko se je malo "ohladilo" ujela za rep in se že malo poigrala s kosi, ki bodo kar vroči prihajajočo jesen. No, obenem pa so čisto primerni tudi za iztekajoče se poletne dni.

Široki pasovi so tisti modni dodatek, ki so bili prav povsod na modnih brveh prihajajoče jeseni in bodo kar iskana roba. Popolni so za vse, ki želimo poudariti svoj pas in opotično ustvariti ali pa poudariti obline svoji silhueti.
Obleka na preklop je po mojem mnenju obleka, popolna za čisto vse postave in je odlična tako za poletje kot tudi za jesenske dni. Visok razporek optično podaljša noge, globok V izrez podaljša vrat, preklop na območju pasu poskrbi za to, da pas izgleda ožji.
Jeans. Jap, ne glede na to ali je mornarsko moder ali svetel, jeans je zopet kraljeval na modnih brveh. Dior je letos popolna insporacija za vse, ki želimo stilirati jeans na inovativen način.

I hate skirts. I hate wearing them and I hate how they look on me. But I love how flattering they can look on other body figures and I often find myself looking for the "right one". So inspite of sabotaging myself I am pushing myself each year - trying different one and solving this "How to find the right skirt for me?!" puzzle along the way.

At the end, wearing things you feel comfortable and confident in, is the only thing that matters.

This year I decided to try pencil denim skirt.
"The secret when making the appearance of thiner legs is in high heels in tan colored shoes!" I always say to myself when wearing skirts!
Another thing I think is very important when wearing something you dont know weather you are going to freak out during the day beacuse of wearing it, is to always style it with something you love! That way you are making the right balace. So I styled this skirt with this boxy a-symetrical shirt which was my "safety blanket" this time.

SLO:
Resnično ne maram kril. Ne maram jih nositi in ni mi všeč kako v njih izgledam, medtem ko so mi na drugih postavah prekrasna in jih vedno znova občudujem. A namesto, da bi se omejevala in se sabotirala si raje prestavljam svoje meje udobja in vsako leto preizkušam druge kroje, ter tako sproti rešujem uganko "Najti krilo v katerem se bom končno dobro počutila.".

Nakoncu je namreč pomembno le, da nosimo stvari v katerih se počutimo udobno in samozavestno.

Letos sem se odločila preizkusiti ozko jeans krilo.
"Skrivnost, da svoje noge optično podaljšaš je v tem, da poleg obuješ čevlje v kar se da podobni barvi tvoje kože. Če pa so na peto pa jih s tem še optično zožaš!". To je tisto kar si vedno rečem, ko oblečem krilo!
Druga skrivnost, ki pa se je rada poslužujem takrat kadar premikam meje udobja in imam oblečeno nekaj kar mi ni povsem všeč je da zraven vedno skobminiram stvar, v kateri mi je zares udobno. Zato sem tokrat zraven skombinirala tokrat preveliko in asimetrično majico, ki je bila moja varna izbira.

I'M THAT FRIEND WEARING RED

I'm in love with long dresses. I also really like gingham and fancy a pop of red to the outfit.
With that being said the equation of "Should I buy the dress"? was solved relatively fast and the dress is now mine.
Why was I hesitant about buyinginit in the first place, is a mystery I will never resolve tho...

But after I actually got it, I was so eager to wear it not even a heat wave stopped - God save my soul! In my defense I unbuttoned it as much as I could and comforted myself with "it's made out of cotton" excuse.

But there is one thing you should know about this particular type of a dress that might come handy to you - the dress is without a doubt that piecewhich always saves "I have nothing to wear" moment. Just cinch the waist with a belt to emphasize your waist, put on some lipstick and summer sandal and you are good to go. In a snap!

As far as wearing it during the hottest of days - maybe not the smartest option, unless is sleeveless!

Obožujem obleke do tal. Prav tako imam zelo rada gingam vzorec in outfite, kjer je rdeča tista barva, ki doda piko na i.

Z vsem povedanim, bi izračun pri enačbi "Ali naj kupim to obleko?" pravzaprav bil popolnoma preprost in obleka bi bila na blagajni v trenutku. Zakaj sem za nekaj trenutkov celo oklevala, pa je uganka, ki je še do danes nisem razvozlala. Kakorkoli, obleka je sedaj moja!

In po teh nekaj stresnih momentih ali jo naj vzamem ali ne, me niti vročinski val ni ustavil pred tem, da jo dejansko oblečem - kot pravijo, samo bog mi lahko pomaga. Saj vem!

V svojo obrambo lahko povem, da sem jo odpela kolikor se jo je dalo in se zgovarjala na to, da je bombažna.

Kakorkoli, preživela sem, je pa tip obleke tisti, ki bi mogoče prišel prav tudi tebi, ko te zjutraj obsede "nimam nič za oblečt" panika. Preprosto je super imeti nekaj takega v omari, si okrog pasu zapeti pas, ki ti še malo poudari ozek pas, rdeča šminka in poletni sandali in že lahko letiš skozi vrata!

V kolikor ima dolge rokave kot moja, pa mogoče vseeno spusti dneve ker je vročina pasja! ;)
