Leopard Print and Jeans Outfits With Chloe Bags

Two slightly cooler spring days in Brisbane meant getting another opportunity to get my jeans out again before summer temps set in. While both of these outfits have different colour schemes, they are both jeans and a tee with leopard print and Chloe bags.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Pink and blue always make me smile, although it does frustrate me a little how the lurex threads on this recently thrifted tee never show up in photos! I feel it's really noticeable in person. I liked the texture the tee had with the bright cheerful pink leopard print of the jeans. Had a regular weekday with working from home and the school run, jeans and a tee was ideal. I didn't really need all the extra space the Chloe Marcie gave but I liked the neutral tan with the colourful outfit.

I've been reorganising my wardrobe a bit lately with the clear outs I've been doing, so I realised when I got to my accessories that I hadn't worn this necklace in a while, it was definitely due another wear!


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearnavy tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.





What I wore:

TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus orange, yellow and red thread bracelets
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and the school run, with a couple of errands after picking the kids up from school. These grey skinny jeans are extremely comfortable, and I liked the neutral grey of the denim and the pale khaki of the Chloe Ethel bag with the neon orange leopard print on the tee.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the orange bracelets, although I added a slightly different colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I really liked this outfit! It was a slightly cooler day with all the rain, this outfit was perfect.


Last worn: leopard print tee, yellow tassel necklace, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag.

Maxi Dresses and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

Wearing some pretty printed dresses for the warm spring weather recently. Despite both these maxi dresses having different prints, I accessorised them both with great neutrals, my studded sandals and my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. Like the dresses which were opshop finds, the Chloe Marcie was a preloved find too!


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was such a hot day I needed something easy to wear - this light viscose maxi dress was perfect for the heat, and super comfortable! After the school run, I worked from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon and heading to a local park for a playdate.

With the bright colours in the geometric print of this maxi dress, natural accessories were needed. I went with my studded gladiator sandals that I only regretted a little, running around on the bark playground with the kids in the afternoon is not easy with open toed sandals! And of course the Chloe Marcie bag in nut goes with everything too.

With the gold in the hardware of the Chloe Marcie bag and the gold necklace, I went a little matchy-matchy with the black and gold beaded bracelet stack.


Last worn: printed maxi dress, gold circle necklace, black and gold bracelet stack, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearprinted maxi dress worn two ways, studded sandals and shorts, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and skirt.






What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Dress: thrifted JayJays white maxi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus peach and gold bracelet stack
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

First wearing of this cute floral print maxi dress! I couldn't resist it when I saw it in the opshop. Like the dress above, it was just $1 as well! I again went with neutral accessories, the same gladiator sandals and nut brown Chloe Marcie bag. With the peach in the floral print of the dress though I wanted to add a little more colour to pull that out - the peach necklace and peach and gold bracelet stack were fun ways to add more colour, even if the shades of orange don't match exactly, I still enjoyed wearing it all together.

Wore this to take the kids to a very fun birthday party, and run a couple of errands afterwards.


Last worn: orange necklace, peach and gold bracelet stack, studded sandals (above), Chloe Marcie hobo bag (above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Chloe Marcie Bag With Skirts, Ankle Boots And Wine Tops | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing these two similar outfits I wore recently. Both have boots, skirts, wine tops, an extra layer, and my Chloe Marcie bag. But they look very different!


What I wore:

leather jacket, ankle boots, animal print skirt and burgundy knit | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut with leopard print skirt | awayfromtheblue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket (new purchase)
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was a very cold morning for the school run and I regretted the decision to go bare legged and not add some leggings under this skirt! The burgundy knit was an opshop find and is a polyester knit, so I thought it would keep me warmer than it did, even with the leather jacket on top. While I thrifted the jumper a while back, I've just been waiting for the right weather to wear it and I knew it would look so cute with this leopard print skirt.

The leather jacket was a recent buy from the Gladrags market I went to in May - I spent some of my takings in some other stalls, and for $30 I was not going to pass up this buttery soft leather jacket. It came in handy with the cold weather snap in Brisbane. Even if it did warm up massively by school pick up in the afternoon, where I left the leather jacket at home, pushed up the sleeves on my knit and was grateful I hadn't added leggings that morning!


Last worn: leopard print skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the knit as it was a summer purchase, and first time I've worn the leather jacket as I bought it recently.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and teeblack ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! I started work a little later so I could join my youngest in a special free play day at school. It was so good seeing him running around playing with all his friends, even if I did spend a little too much time dodging tennis balls and basketballs on the courts, he had a blast!

As it was a cooler morning (thankfully not as cold as the one above) I layered up this ochre maxi skirt with my classic denim jacket and my tan ankle boots. I liked this deep orange skirt with a burgundy tee last time I tired the combination, so thought I would give it a go with this tee. It's really more purple than burgundy - wine is a very fitting name for the colour - but I still enjoyed this combination, especially with the extra pop of colour from the yellow tassel necklace.

The Chloe Marcie always looks great with a denim jacket, and I needed something big enough to hold a water bottle as I followed my son around all the different fun stations set up around the school.

Printed Tanks, Blazers and Skinny Jeans For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing another two office outfits I wore recently, with skinny jeans and blazers. Both feature a little touch of orange too, and my classic neutral Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


What I wore:




Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Rowena print tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

With this brown printed tank and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a pretty dark outfit. The orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with it to brighten it up a bit, and make this tank more office appropriate by covering up my shoulders. While the peach in the necklace doesn't match the orange blazer at all I thought they looked nice together, and it was another way to introduce a bit more lightness to my outfit.

The Chloe Marcie bag wasn't really needed - I don't carry much to the office other than the essentials, and I have a work issued laptop bag for my laptop, so I usually take smaller bags to the office. But I'd used this bag the day before and it was easier to use it again than swap out all my things into a new bag.


Last worn: orange blazer, beaded tassel necklace, printed tank, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag Review:




What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Thankfully it wasn't yet too cold when I wore this outfit - it was before the record breaking cold we had in Brisbane. So cropped jeans and a 3/4 sleeve blazer were perfect for the temps.

Again, I really liked the blazer and jeans combination. This one is more colourful than the first outfit, with the bright printed peplum tank and the blush blazer. Surprisingly I haven't tried the blazer and tank together before, despite the matching blush in the bird print! I really liked the combination.

Couldn't quite decide on a necklace with this, in the end I decided to go for a pop of colour and added this little peach one I thrifted earlier this year. Orange is such a cheerful colour to add into an outfit.


Last worn: blush blazer, bird print peplum tank, peach necklace, white skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Camis and Maxi Skirts With Chloe Marcie Bag

Two maxi skirt outfits I recently wore for a couple of different days. Both outfits feature pre-loved pieces, with lucky opshop finds and this Chloe Marcie I scored preloved on eBay last year.


What I wore:

blue and orange outfit with chambray cami ochre maxi skirt chloe marcie shoulder bag | awayfromblue

chambray cami, Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromblue


Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! We had a birthday party at an indoor play area to attend, and it was such a hot and humid day I was glad we were just going from one aircon at home to the aircon at the party! Still wore some nice light pieces, with this thrifted ochre maxi skirt complimenting the blue of this chambray cami perfectly. It was good to finally get a photo without covering up the straps on this cami too, I really like the cute tie detail, even if one of the bows I tied kept coming undone every time I shoved the Marcie bag on my shoulder!

Needed the big Chloe Marcie bag for the kids water bottles though, there were so active for the whole party and needed a lot of water, especially as the aircon wasn't working properly at the venue. Or maybe the day was just too hot for it. I was glad I hadn't added an extra layer over my shoulders with this outfit!

I really liked the matchy-matchy of the accessories with the turquoise and gold statement earrings and the beaded necklace together, I'm going to have to repeat this combination of accessories again!


Last worn: statement earrings, chambray cami, beaded necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearchambray cami and denim, ochre maxi skirt in winter, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and floral maxi dress.

What I wore:



Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Top: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Another hot and humid day, so again a simple cami and a maxi skirt. This maxi skirt has some lovely slits up the side that allowed for the breeze to cool me down a bit on the school run, which was much appreciated.

The pinks in the cami top and the floral print of the maxi skirt are quite different. I thought that they still worked together though, especially with the blue beaded necklace matching the different blues in the print nicely.

Again I had my big Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. It was a standard weekday with the school drop off, and working from home for me before school pickup in the afternoon, but we also had an appointment for my son in the afternoon so I needed a big bag to carry his water bottle around for that too.

Chloe Marcie and Dresses For Christmas Events

Today I'm sharing two pretty Kmart dresses I wore for two Christmas events recently, both outfits accessorised with my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


What I wore:




Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and gold leaf bangle
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was really fun - our vet was doing a fundraiser and Santa paws photos, so we got all dressed up for our annual family photo. We did not bring the kid's insect menagerie along, Cooper is a handful enough! It was really fun and we got so many great photos.

We had to stop at the library on our way home and I felt a little overdressed for that, with the floral maxi dress and the big statement earrings. But it was perfect for our Christmas photos!

With the gold beads in the earrings and the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I added this little gold leaf bangle to be even more matchy-matchy too.


Last worn: beaded statement earrings, floral maxi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.

My Chloe Handbag Collection:






What I wore:




NecklaceStarfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a quiet morning at home, followed by a very fun afternoon at Carols by Candlelight. There were rides, food trucks, craft stations...the kids had a blast, and I enjoyed the carol service in the evening while the kids enjoyed swinging around the little electric candles they were given. There was even a fireworks show at the end.

It was a very humid day so I didn't need an extra layer, but thought this maxi dress was a good choice as it covered my legs to avoid the mozzies without me overheating. With the coral red of this dress, the green beaded necklace seemed like a fun nod to Christmas too! I had the big Chloe Marcie bag for all our water bottles and some snacks - although there was plenty of food there! I'd taken a blanket for laying on the grass in the evening, but didn't have to carry that around as I put it on the grass to save our spot while we walked around all the attractions.


Last worn: green beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, studded sandals, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wearcoral tiered midi dress and scarf, studded sandals and pencil skirt, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in third trimester.


How You Can Wear It:

Red and green is a classic Christmas combo. You can take a red dress you have and adda  green necklace to it like I have in the second outfit, or pick a dress like the teal floral one that has some red and green in the print.

Whatever you wear, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Kmart Printed Midi Dresses With Sneakers and Chloe Marcie Bag

Spring kid's birthday parties in the park meant sticking to an easy outfit formula. Floral print midi dresses with sneakers for comfort, my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag for water bottles and some statement earrings to feel a little dressed up!


What I wore:

Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print with sneakers and chloe marcie bag | awayfromtheblue

black floral dress, Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut worn over the shoulder | awayfromblue


Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
ShoesAdidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Unsure what kind of weather the day had in store and having to ferry the kids between two different birthday parties in one day meant being prepared for anything! I went with this long sleeved black floral print midi dress as it's nice and light and provided good sun coverage. I appreciated the long sleeves when it started to get cooler in the afternoon too, just before the rain hit. Thankfully the rain waited until after the party was over!

Had a little bit of driving to do so these Adidas Stan Smith were nice comfortable sneakers - and I wasn't the only mum there rocking a dress and sneaker combo. I thought these pink statement earrings were a nice match with the pink florals in the dress, and a good way to make it look like I put in a little effort for the parties!

The Chloe Marcie shoulder bag is perfect for all the essentials plus the kids water bottles - which are of course must-haves at park parties!


Last worn: Kmart floral print black midi dress, pink statement earrings, Tiffany necklace, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearKmart floral print black midi dress with tan belt, Stan Smith sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and blazer.


Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag Review





What I wore:

Kmart teal floral print midi dress with sneakers, tassel earrings and Chloe Marcie bag | awayfromtheblue

teal floral print dress with chloe marcie shoulder bag in nut brown | awayfromblue


Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Again I went with matchy-matchy earrings! these teal tassel ones go so nicely with the teal background of this floral print midi dress. I considered adding a denim jacket to this but decided not to as it was quite a humid day. At the birthday party in the afternoon though, again just like the weekend before where I wore the dress above, it got quite cloudy and windy. I really wished I'd brought a jacket along!

I felt that I hadn't worn these Kmart chunky sneakers in while so they were overdue a wear - and a nice match for the white floral print on the midi dress. The little brown tab on the back is not quite a match for the Chloe Marcie bag in nut brown, but again I went with this bag because I needed something to store all our water bottles.


Last worn: teal floral midi dress, teal tassel earrings, Tiffany necklace, chunky sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wearteal floral midi dress and ankle boots, chunky sneakers and shorts, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.


How You Can Wear It

Floral dresses are an obvious choice for spring, and long sleeved ones are perfect for those days when the weather isn't as warm as you'd like! Sneakers make a cute combination with a midi dress too.

Leather Jackets and Maxi Skirts

Just like in Monday's post, I took advantage of the cooler temperatures to wear another winter piece, my leather jackets, before it's too far into spring to enjoy them! Wearing both of my black leather jackets with some comfortable maxi skirts, and Chloe bags.


What I wore:

black leather jacket purple tee and black maxi skirt with chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut worn over the shoulder with black leather jacket | awayfromtheblue


JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Wore this for Father's day and I absolutely loved this outfit! Not too impressed with the photos, this slouchy tee always looks so rumpled in the pics, but it is super soft and the deep purple/burgundy shade was nice with the black leather jacket and the black maxi skirt. I thought pairing the black leather jacket with the black skirt would bring out the print on the jacket a little more, but it's still as subtle as ever!

This was the perfect outfit for a bit of an overcast day. Luckily our plans for the day weren't derailed by the rain - I took hubby and the kids to Australia's biggest retro arcade for Father's Day. It was a surprise for the kids too as I knew if I'd told them where we were going they would have been too excited to not tell their Dad! 😂 All the machines were free play, so we just had to pay an entry fee and then unlimited games. We ended up spending so much time there, definitely good value for money!

Took my Chloe Marcie bag so I could have some snacks for the kids and our water bottles, it's such a big bag for that.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, spiral earrings, burgundy tee, gold charm necklace, black maxi skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers.

Other ways to wearblack printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, burgundy tee over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and pink dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans.

Wardrobe Tour & Handbag Storage:






What I wore:



leather jacket, skull scarf, pink tee and grey pinstripe maxi skirt winter outfit | awayfromblue

awayfromblue chloe small periwinkle paraty bag and grey maxi skirt | awayfromblue


JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This day was a bit colder and a lot less fun than the weekend at the arcade above! Wore a plain black leather jacket this time, with the grey pinstripe maxi skirt that I felt hadn't been worn in a while and was due another wear. I like pink and grey together so this pink tee was an obvious choice, although I did cover most of it up with the blue Alexander McQueen scarf! I thought the scarf was a nice compliment with the periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag though, even if the shades don't match exactly.

After the school drop off I had an appointment in the morning, working from home, then picking the kids up and taking them to an appointment for my son in the afternoon. Busy day!
 


How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts are great for cooler days as they keep your legs covered up. They are so easy to layer too, with leggings underneath on really cold winter days, and a leather jacket and maybe even a scarf on top to stay cosy.
