What I wore:
Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: blue tartan scarfTop: Jeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley
Jeans: Jeanswest 'shale' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown
Why I wore it:
Wore this to work from home. I had planned to wear this to the office, hoping these jeans would pass as plain pants. I've worn them that way before. Our washing machine decided to break down though and I had to be home waiting for the repairer to come out. As I had to go out quickly in the morning, I decided to just wear what I had planned but with Converse instead. I'm glad I just wore it to work from home, I think even with heels this would have been a little too casual.Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, blue tartan scarf, striped henley, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.
Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket with a printed dress, tartan scarf with a printed dress, striped henley with a maxi skirt and baby belly, grey skinny jeans with black leather, Converse and spring dresses, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag 40 weeks pregnant.
More colourful skinny jeans, under $80:
What I wore:
Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (also on sale in black!)Tee: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Tank: French Connection feather foil singlet
Jeans: Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag
Why I wore it:
Was quite tired and had a busy morning with baby, so decided to try and dress colourfully and see if I could get some energy from wearing something bright!You can't really see it in the pictures, but the tank I'm wearing under the tee is my glittery black one. I thought it was another nice way to add some colour, as well as the bright red jeans and the galaxy print scarf. Didn't work as well as I thought as you can't really see the glitter on it, but it was a good idea to try.
With all the colours together I wasn't really sure what bag to wear with this, and as I was in a bit of a hurry as we had a play date to get to, I decided just to throw everything in the baby bag for the day. Black goes with everything!
Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, galaxy print scarf, grey long sleeve tee, glitter tank, red skinny jeans, Converse (above), Marc by Marc Jacobs Eliz-a-Baby bag.
Other ways to wear: printed scarf with a polka dot dress, grey tee with a maxi skirt, glitter tank and lace skirt, red skinny jeans with a printed tank, Converse and a maxi skirt.

I love your colored denim Mica! Looks so good on you. Anytime you add color, it just lifts you up. Was sorry to hear about your washing machine. My microwave went kaput over the weekend :D
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
Aww no hope you can fix your microwave!
DeleteSo far my washing machine seems to be behaving itself after the repair....we will see how it goes, fingers crossed!
That's my favourite jacket! So cute, and the colour looks nice. Lovely outfits Mica, I bet the glittery tank is so cute with that galaxy stargazer scarf too. <3

I like that second look - I cannot get enough of that scarf !
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I wish I hadn't seen that stargazer scarf - it's gorgeous! Looks great with the red jeans. Hope you got your washing machine fixed.

Thanks! it is a great scarf! And the washing machine seems to be working okay so far, after the repair :)
DeleteI really like the coloured trousers! Particularly the red. They really cheer up an outfit. I wish I could go for a similar look but I have stupid long legs and can only buy trousers from a handful of places. They never have interesting trousers and it makes me sad!
ReplyDeleteAlso loving the scarves. Such a lovely mix of colours!
Aww, I have the opposite problem, haha! I'm so short I usually need to wear cropped trousers! Always easier to hem than to add extra length though I guess :(
DeleteI haven't worn my colored denim in a long while! They're such a fun way to wear denim and to add color to your wardrobe! :) I'm all about denim all year long!

Much too hot in summer for jeans here...although I can wear denim shorts! :)
DeleteColored denim is a great way to spice up winter outfits! Love the red ones! You look lovely!

I hope it was a nice play date, Mica?! Glad you decided to choose the Converse because those are such a match with your striped shirt, great styling! Totally love the color combo of your second look - harmonic casual look.
DeleteIra / JOURNAL OF STYLE / BLOGLOVIN
It was a lovely play date thank you Ira! :)
DeleteI always wear denim in any color {except regular blue jeans} to work hoping that they pass as regular pants! Love the layered striped look.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great way to wear more comfortable pants to work! :D
DeleteI love both of these looks, and how you changed up your jeans routine by wearing these cute colored pairs! The red pair is great!
ReplyDeleteWay to break out the red skinnies! I know, it becomes easy to just reach for the same, comfy pairs. It's good to branch out now and then though :)

It is good to chance it up even just a little! :) Especially with such a bright and colourful pair :)
DeleteI especially love the blue jacket of yours each time you wear it. Your scarf collection must be almost as good as your impressive bag collection. The star gazer scarf is such a stunning print.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great jacket! :) And I do have a lot of scarves and bags, haha!
DeleteLove everything blue so your jacket, too :) Thanks for linking-up with Turning Heads Tuesday! Sabina | Oceanblue Style
ReplyDeleteLove it. I hate jeans shopping. Finally bit the bullet and bought a new pair designed so much for comfort and not enough for aesthetic. My mum jeans
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I discovered Jeanswest, can always get something that fits me! :)
DeleteI love all your converse style - and seeing your red skinnies is making me wish I hadn't let mine go.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
Smart. I always rely on my denim jacket too. But what I'm a fan of is those scarves. Wow. I am a huge scarf hoarder, but either I wear them too much and get tired of them, or you just have an impressive collection! Stay warm this winter! (I'm in the States, boiling in the heat!)
ReplyDeleteClare | Understated Classics
I think you start to get tired of them near the end of winter, haha! I need to wear mine more often, I tend to just wear my favourite ones all the time :P
DeleteLoving your first look!!! The colorful scarf with the classic stripes make a fabulous combo!!!

Two beautiful scarves! I love the bright colors and how they look with colored jeans!
ReplyDeleteWhen in doubt throw everything in the diaper bag. (; Can't tell you how many times I've done just that. As much as I love the work related looks, because they help me tremendously in the office, it's nice to see some casual ones in the mix. I'm dreadful at dressing myself casual. Notice my lack of weekend photos. haha
ReplyDeleteSorry about your washer! Hope all is well in the world of appliances. (;
Thanks, it seems to be a lot better now after the repair guy looked at it and replaced a few things!
DeleteAnd yes, how awesome is the baby bag for just throwing everything in! :)
I love blues on you so much. Those patterned scarves are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI love how you wear bright colours - they look really great on you! Love both outfits, especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteLoving your use of converse shoes in these outfits! XO

Aren't gray jeans fab? I love mine. I need a red pair like yours. You are rocking both these chic ensembles, Mica! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletei agree that wearing something bright cheers us up and makes us feel more energetic. Your blue leather jacket is stunning and your red jeans are fun! You look great in both these looks.
ReplyDeleteIt does, it's a good trick for those kind of days!
DeleteVery cute!

Great outfits! You're inspiring me to try coloured denim for a change also. I love your blue jacket and scarves too!
ReplyDeleteHope you can give it a go! The red ones were an opshop bargain too, it doesn't have to be expensive!
DeleteBeautiful outfit! Love the purse!

I'm with you Mica...I keep reaching for the same two pairs of jeans! Today I finally wore a different pair lol. When I like something I wear it over and over again. And 90% of the clothes just sit in my closet and collect dust (boo). Anyways, I love the pops of color with the jeans and the scarf. The Chuck Taylors give both of these looks that effortless cool girl finishing touch. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I have that same issue! I try and wear everything I own, but I'm always reaching for my favourite pieces. Makes me wonder why it's so hard to do a wardrobe clean out, haha!
Deletelove these looks esp with the chucks!
ReplyDeleteLove you shoes, they look like very comfy pair! And the first outfit is awesome, really cute!
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable! You always look very fun and put together. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fridge broke down recently too - now that was a real nightmare and I had to throw out and then replace so much stuff! Arrgghh!
ReplyDeleteI seem to reach constantly for jeggings, because I've been layering long tunics and knits in the winter. Today I wanted a pair of jeans but found myself with a pair of denim joggers instead. I just can't seem to go there with jeans at the moment!
Love the red jeans on you!
Aww no I can't imagine the fridge breaking down, that would be a real pain! :(
DeleteLove the scarves and the colored jeans are great! I am going to be wearing more denim this fall. the scarves are great on you too!
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up with Turning Heads Tuesday!

Thank you all for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteI really like the zipper details on your grey sweater and the plaid scarf in your first outfit! It's so strange to see you all bundled up while we're sweating here in the US. I just know the time will come too soon when we'll switch!
