The story of a dress (outfit post) / Priča o jednoj haljini (odjevna kombinacija)
































This dress arrived from New Zeland years before I was born. My mother was nineteen or twenty at the time. She wore it for a wedding and then for  years the dress was just hanging in the closet...until I rediscovered it. I paired it with heels I wore on my wedding day and a simple white clutch. The necklace I'm wearing is semiDIY ( I combined a necklace with a broken earring), while the hair accessory (fascinator) is all DIY.

Ova je haljina stigla iz Novog Zelanda godinama prije moga rođena. Moja majka je imala devetnaest ili dvadeset godina tada. Nosila ju je na neko vjenčanje i onda je haljina godinama visila u ormaru...dok je ja nisam ponovo otkrila. Nosila sam ju s petama s mog vječanja i jednostavnom bijelom torbicom. Ogrlicu koju nosim napravila sam kombinirajući slomljenu naušnicu i ogrlicu koju sam imala, a ukras za kosu je kao što sam već napomenula u potpunosti moj rad.

  3. Look at them sex legs! Ivana, you look amazing! I can't believe the dress is so old...it looks like it could be in the shops right now. And I love how you paired it with those fab heels. You look like a hot girl stranded on the side of the road waiting for an equally hot guy to fix your broken car :D

  6. E ovakve priče o odjeći obožavam! :) A ja sam jučer bila uvjerena da se radi o super majici, kad ono pojavi se fantastična haljina! :) Mislim da mi dugo nisi ovako predobro izgledala, sjajno ti stoji, cipele su divne...ma šta da više kažem? Glasam za još ovakvih haljina :D

  17. What a beautiful dress with a wonderful story behind it. I do love to wear such things a lot, these precious rarities from the past hold memories.
    I must say you look amazingly beautiful and feminine in this dress, you should wear such dress model more often, I suggest:) This design for a dress is so suitable for you, to my mind. And the pastel color of it is so appealing!
    I can't but mention that the town and mountains on the background are very attention catching too, the view is breathtaking!
    Wish you a blessed day ahead!

  42. Ivana, ja na tvom mjestu ne bi skidala ovu haljinu sa sebe! Ne da izgledaš dobro, nego apsolutno savršeno! Oblik, boja, dužina, uzorak, sve na haljini je predivno a tebi stoji kao salivena. Imaš predivne noge i trebaš češće u ovakve komade! Zabranjujem ti hlače! :))))

  47. Hi Ivana. Firstly I want to compliment you on looking so sweet, cheery and carefree in a pink dress. Probably it had been winter for too long and I often see you in winter or dark shades. I can see how summer is so inviting to you all. Over here, it's soooooooo hot and humid. Next, I can't believe that little wonderful story behind the dress. It's a vintage! And wow... it was your mum's dress in the closet and you rediscovered it and brought it back to life! Pretty shoes too!

  49. What a glorious dress, worn, loved, forgotten and inherited. I love it with the silver accessories, its bang up to date and yet timeless, too. The pastel pink looks wonderful with your raven locks and the lush greenery in the background. xxx

  53. Kako si mi lepa! <3 I pre nego što sam pročitala teskt, pomislila sam kako mora da je neka druga epoha kad je haljina pravljena, danas nema takvih. Savršena je, kao iz starog Holivuda i još u kombinaciji sa tim divnim sandalama, svim ostalim detaljima i tim mestom... preoduševljena sam, zaista! :)

  54. You look wonderful, absolutely stunning. Adore the dress and the story behind it too, perfect :))) xx

  55. Divno! Predivna prica o haljini, bas mi je drago da si ju ti ponovno "otkrila" u maminom ormaru i odlucila nositi! Stoji ti savrseno! Super fotke!
    Pusa velika!
