Grey Tees, Black Jeans, Long Cardigans and Scarves

Two outfits with grey tees and black jeans, one more colourful one and another just as cosy but a lot more neutral dues to the different colour cardigans I layered with.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

After we had spent most of the school holidays at home sick, we were all feeling better so layered up to run a couple of errands. We also stopped by a local exhibition, as well as dropping off some of the things we had cleared out during our time at home to the local opshop. I couldn't resist browsing too, the kids got a new boardgame while I ended up with a bunch of summer pieces for my wardrobe. Very eager for winter to be over!

The grey tee and black jeans were very neutral before I added this bright red waterfall cardigan and the tartan scarf. With the blues in the scarf I thought the little blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag was a good accessory, and I didn't need to carry much, just the essentials.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, tartan scarf, grey pocket tee, black zip detail jeans, white converse, blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and printed jeans, tartan scarf and maxi skirt, grey pocket tee and denim skirt, black zip detail jeans and duster, white converse and dress, blue mini MAC bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: tartan scarf in first trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Scarf: Mickey Mouse printed scarf from Disneyland Paris
Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim (new purchase)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

These coated jeans were one of my opshop finds on the day above! I was eager to wear them, I've tried a few coated jeans in the past but not been impressed. I was so pleased these $1 ones from the opshop were winners, they are very comfortable. I wasn't sure at first if they looked too like leggings, so I layered up to cover my butt just in case, with this grey tunic tee (also an opshop find) and my grey waterfall cardigan. With the black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers and the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag this was a very neutral outfit. I added my Mickey Mouse scarf and the statement earrings for a little extra colour, but not too much as I quite liked all the neutrals together.

This was a great outfit for a day of shopping down the coast with my mum and sister. Mum was very generous so I ended up with quite a few things for me which was fun, even though the intention was to start looking at Christmas presents she let me take everything she bought for me home.

Last worn: grey belted cardigan, turquoise tassel earrings, Mickey Mouse scarf, grey tunic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the coated jeans as they are a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and printed jeans, Mickey Mouse scarf and stripes, grey tunic tee and shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and skirt.
