What I wore:
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale and on sale in pink!)
Why I wore it:
Wore this to spend the day with my mum. We went shopping and had morning tea with my mother in law. Sine I rediscovered this tank I've been wanting to wear it often.I really like the blue and purple colour combination so I loved this outfit. Wouldn't change anything about it, it was easy to put on, easy to wear and kept me cosy on a rainy day.
Last worn: jacquard jacket, purple leopard print scarf, navy breastfeeding tank, skinny jeans, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff purple mini MAB.
Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket in the office, leopard print scarf with stripes and a baby bump, bubble tank and a maxi skirt, skinny jeans and a kimono, silver ballet flats and a chambray skirt, Rebecca Minkoff purple mini MAB and a neon tee.
Where to buy the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag:
What I wore:
Scarf: Nali feather print pashmina scarf
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black or silver!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)
Why I wore it:
I've mentioned before that I was finding these printed jeans tricky to wear with my printed scarves. I thought this neutral one with feather print would work nicely, but I was in a rush that morning and didn't realise until afterwards that I'd put it on back to front so you can't even see the feather print in the photos!Although I was a little chilly in the morning with the shorter sleeves, I took the boys to the library for the books and rhymes session again so I was cosy and warm there. They have the heating cranked up for the tiny babies in winter, so nice on a cold morning!
Just like the outfit above, I really liked this outfit. Sometimes just changing little things like a bag can make you feel a little more inspired when picking what to wear.
Last worn: grey cardigan, feather print pashmina, purple tee, printed jeans, mouse flats, mini MAB tote bag (above).
Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and flares, feather print pashmina and orange dress, purple tee and lace pencil skirt, printed jeans with black and red, mouse flats and maxi dress, purple mini MAB tote bag and a pink dress.

I've got out of the habit of bag swapping so all my fun bags are chilling unloved in the spare room while I use my black Oroton tote for every work day! Must make more of an effort.
ReplyDeleteIt's great you have one bag that's so perfect you don't need to swap though! :)
DeleteThat could totally be me, putting the top on backwards!

Blue&purple combination looks beautiful and it is definitely one of my favourite! those printed jeans gave edgy finish to your outfit, you still rock it :)
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
Those Sass and Bide pants are rockin! And I love how you did the whole purple-and-blue combination as well:) I never thought of combining those colours....thanks for the idea:)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could give you some inspiration! :) It's one of my favourite colour combinations :)

ReplyDeletehaha it's too easy to want in every colour, it's a cute bag :)
DeleteNice pairing with the bag and the scarf. It's not actually easy to carry a bag of this colour but you pull it off, you're looking great.

Purple looks awesome on you Mica. Love that scarf & bag :D It's one of my favorite colors. I use to love library sessions like that as a child. I love the activities you do with your boys. Awesome mama!

hehe thank you. I find getting out of the house each day stops us going a little crazy :P
DeleteLove the print of that first scarf! Ads such a fun touch to the outfit!! :D

I love the pop of color that bag adds--I agree, sometimes a little color is all you need to get yourself out of a rut. Love both of these looks, especially the color combo in the first one--so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great color of bag! Not black or tan but still wearable. Looks great with both outfits.

Both outfits are great! I love the printed pants so much, but I can see how they could be a bit tricky to pair with scarves. The one you chose works great! And I absolutely adore your Rebecca Minkoff bag! Such a great color!

I LOVE those pants! How fun are they?! That's totally a way to hype up typically chill winter wear. I'm actually in the same rut, because I keep wearing dark clothing in the middle of summer. haha. Like all my bright color inspiration is totally gone this year.
ReplyDeleteTry swapping out a bag, see if it gives you some more inspiration :) Helped me! :)
DeleteLove that bag the color is so fun!

I wish I could get away with wearing scarves and cardigan in winter but it's so freaking cold. LOL! That said, the area where I love in is one of the mildest winter in Canada and the temperature still goes to -3C. I think wearing the scarf inside out and not seeing the feather print is a mistake that turned out well in your favour, the jeans became the sole focus of the outfit and it's a beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
haha that is definitely not mild to me!!
Deletethose print pants are great on you and I'm loving the burgundy!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that new little bordeaux bag of yours...it's the perfect size!
ReplyDeleteLoving the MAB tote, doll! Such a pretty purple!

I'm really loving both looks here, Mica! I love how you've been styling those chevron printed jeans lately, printed jeans can be a bit challenging to work with! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you're having a great week so far, girlie!

I need to try harder to bag swap --- so much variety potential that my laziness is hindering ;)
ReplyDelete-Clarissa @ The View From Here
haha! It's good for adding a little variety to an outfit, I swap my bags around quite a lot.
DeleteGorgeous looks!

I definitely fall into a pattern of winter rut outfits, but you've got print mixing and color and I'm glad you took out your adorable purple bag - swoon! I've always had a soft spot for the mini MAB. When I finally decided to order one I ended up returning it because it was too small to be a good everyday bag for me. But I'm happy with the micro perry I got instead.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/
Your perry is cute - it's on my wishlist! :) The mini MAB is really just an essentials only bag :(
DeleteLove the purple in these outfits and how they compliment your bag! That scarf in your first outfit is gorgeous! And the purple top looks amazing with your printed pants!
ReplyDeleteThe accent of the purple for your whole outfit is perfect! And love the colour of your flats in your second outfit<3
ReplyDeleteStacey + thebambieyes.com
That Rebecca Minkoff mini tote bag is the cutest ever!! It never ceases to amaze me your impeccable bag collection, they always add the perfect finishing touch to your outfits.
ReplyDeleteI can see why the jeans of the second look could be a little tricky to combine, but you did an excellent job with those neutral-toned cardi and scarf. :)

The purple bag and patterned scarf in that first photo look great together!
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute bag! I also love your gold pumps. I've worn mine so much but doubt I'll ever throw them out. Purple looks good on you. I don't wear it enough x #mumsthatslay
ReplyDeleteYes these gold flats are perfect, no doubt I'll wear them until they fall apart!
DeleteI LOVE the scarf in the first picture! Such a pretty array of pinks and purples! Of course I love your purple MAB too :D
