Black Blouses, Colourful Jeans and Denim Trench Coat

Black blouses with colourful jeans, black Converse and my Kmart denim trench coat for winter office days in Brisbane.


What I wore:






Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: DIY green and red marble clay circle earrings
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn these green jeans so they were overdue another wear! I've hit 30 wears with them since I thrifted them a few years ago, but they only get an outing on cooler days. I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the green clay earrings. With the black blouse, the black Converse and black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag were easy matchy choices as well. It wasn't too cold on this morning so the denim trench coat was all I needed to layer with for the commute to the office.


Last worn: denim trench coat, clay earrings, black blouse, green skinny jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Dress: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really like the statement voluminous sleeves on this black blouse, a recent thrift find. Unfortunately it makes it a little tricky to layer with. I was glad for the oversized relaxed fit of this denim trench as it accommodated the voluminous sleeves on the blouse nicely! 

I couldn't resist a little matching in this outfit too, with the burgundy beaded necklace and burgundy jeans. Again I went with the same black Converse as I was wearing another black top. I did change up the bag this time around though, wearing my Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag.

Why I wore it:

I picked up this navy and white floral print tiered maxi dress in the Salty Crush sale recently and I love wearing it! The long sleeves are great for cooler weather, and it has pockets! It layered up nicely with the denim trench and Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and bag have been getting so much wear recently, they are trench is perfect for the cooler weather before it gets too cold in Brisbane and I replace it with thicker trench coats.

With all the blue from the denim and the navy print on the dress, I added a little extra colour with the purple resin floral statement earrings. I really liked them with this dress!

ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Again, a tiered dress, this denim trench, some sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. While the dark chocolate brown went nicely with the blues in the above outfit, I really loved it against the orange of this Kmart tiered dress! As it was a cooler morning and I'd planned to wear this bag I knew this brown star print pashmina would be a great accessory. Although the brown stars are not a perfect match to the deep brown of the bag, I like the combination and I've worn a lot of brown bags with this scarf in the past!

The cosy pashmina was much needed as it was a cooler day than the one above, winter weather is definitely here in Brisbane.
