When everything else fails, just wear an all black outfit - life motto. In my last few posts I wrote about finally giving colours a chance and it was great, truly, but something about black always has me coming back to it. Maybe it's its comfort, elegance and beauty, and maybe it's just me feeling most comfortable in it. Whatever it is, you can't deny that all black outfits don't look sleek and cool, even in hot weather.


This cute see-through top is actually thrifted, it can both be worn normally or off-shoulder (I think it's apparent which one I like more) and the pattern on it is what got me to buy it in the first place because it looks like a mix of florals and lace. I've had this black midi skirt from Reserved for quite some time, and the pleading on it is what makes it stand out the most, plus it's not super tight and the material is quite light making it perfect for summer. Even though this is an all black outfit, the different patterns is what makes it so interesting and that is the key to nailing a one colour ootd.




I don't know what is it about shoes with heels/platforms, but they just make you feel like you run the world. These black sandals are by Carrano and I got them at ShoeBox, and not only did I fall in love with them as soon as I saw them because they're stunning, they're also super comfortable! It's a win-win situation with these. This black bag with embroidered flowers is from Mango and it's become one of my favourite ones, mostly because it can make a dull outfit look so much better instantly. Also, I think I may have an early case of a bag addiction, but we'll see. Because you know, my bags and shoes always go together.

Summer in Zagreb has never been this fun, with all the tourists coming here and exploring our city, the whole place is just bustling with life, even in the middle of the week. I've lived here my whole life  and trust me, it didn't use to be like this 5 or so years ago, and it makes my heart so warm to see so many different people from all over the world appreciating my hometown. 

But it's not only the tourists, it's the locals too! So many events and festivals are going on in the city that there is always something to do and something to see, and ever since the World Cup, there is a certain feeling of joy and pride in the air. People are still singing our "fan songs" and have the flag on their cars and balconies, and yes, we are still talking about it. 

With all these things going on, it is kind of hard to find a time and place when you can just go into the city and chill, without having to worry about finding a place to sit in a cafe or bar that you love or running into someone you know, but it still exists - weekend mornings. 


Sunday mornings are pretty chill anywhere you go, so I went for a simple and minimalistic look. Lately I've been trying to bring more colours into my closet, and red has proven to be a perfect choice for that. This red casual dress is from Pull&Bear, and there is such a summer vibe around it that I adore.



The shoes that I'm wearing are my new black mules from ShoeBox which I love, and it may be only me, but I think that because of them this whole outfit has an "italian vibe". Also, I am *still* one of those people who have to have matching shoes and a bag, so naturally I went for my black (fake) leather handbag from Mango, which is perfect for my everyday activities. And I can both hold it in my hand, or wear it on my shoulder, it's a win-win situation.
