Orange and Animal Print Cami and Maxi Skirt Outfits

I've been wearing a lot of tees lately, so I got a couple of my pretty camis out to change it up a little. Paired both with maxi skirts for these orange and leopard print outfits, accessorised with my Chloe Ethel bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
CamiNew Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Went down the coast to spend some time at my parents, and then shopping at Costco with my mum and sister. It was the first time I've been there! We bought a lot, and the kids were delighted by all the different sample stations they got to eat at!

While a leopard print midi skirt seems like it would be a loud statement piece, this skirt never seems too "in-your-face" for me so I had fun pairing it with this bright orange cami and the statement beaded necklace and beaded bracelet stack. I did add some neutrals with the white Converse and the small Chloe Ethel bag, but leopard is pretty much a neutral on its own now!

Really enjoyed this outfit, it was fun shopping and getting lunch with the family.


Last worn: orange cami, beaded statement necklace, wooden bracelet stack, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

What I wore:




Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really liked the outfit above, so I flipped it around a little but followed the same outfit formula for this. Animal print cami this time and an orange maxi skirt. I keep calling this a leopard print cami even though it's clearly cheetah print. It was the perfect printed piece with this block colour rust maxi skirt. Again I wore my Chloe Ethel bag - the 'light khaki' colour is a very light one and I treat it as a neutral.

With the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag and the bold combination of animal print and leopard, I kept the rest of my accessories simple with the tan slides and gold necklace and earrings.

Wore this out to an event at the library. I did feel a bit overdressed in this though, and didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first outfit. I think it seemed a little more dressed up than a plain tee and maxi skirt outfit. I did like it, just maybe should have worn it for a different day.

Office Outfits With Newly Opshopped Pieces

Making the most of my recently thrifted pieces I picked up at the opshop earlier this month, and wearing them into the office.


What I wore:




Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

This green tee is so soft! Knew it was a must-buy when I stumbled across it in the opshop. I have a lot of Cotton On tees, although this is my first green one, and I really like them! I kept it simple for its first wear, wearing it with this grey textured pencil skirt mum got me for Christmas and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag. It's such a great skirt for an office day.

Couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this. The chains on the Falabella make enough of a statement, so I decided to go with a couple chunky bangles on my arm, and I added this teal resin bracelet to the cream resin bangle duo I thrifted. Even though the shade of green on the bangle is different from the green tee, I really liked these together. Wore my comfortable Converse for the commute and because I had a couple of errands to run after picking up the kids from school.



Last worn: textured pencil skirt, teal resin bangle, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the white resin bracelets and the green tee as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to weartextured pencil skirt with black, black Converse and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace (new purchase)
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets (new purchase)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This is an outfit I had an idea would work and then I was in a rush to get to the office so threw all the pieces on without really thinking. Not sure it worked as well as I liked, but it did certainly keep me cool and comfortable for a very humid day at work with a delicious team lunch outdoors.

With this blue linen button up midi skirt I thought the brown printed tank would be a great pairing, both featuring button detail and the criss-cross print on the tank being similar to the linen pattern on the skirt. The burgundy and cream beaded necklace could have been swapped out for something smaller and I think I would have liked it more, it was just a very busy outfit with this all together. I liked the way the darker burgundy beads worked with the deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag though, that was a nice pairing.


Last worn: brown printed tank, blue Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the necklace and linen midi skirt as they are recent opshop purchases.

Black Denim Skirts and Tee Outfits With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two very simple neutral denim skirts and tee outfits, both with black and white printed cover ups and the same purple Chloe Paraty bag and necklace.


What I wore:




JacketSeed Heritage black printed poncho
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

I got this amazing printed cover up from mum for Christmas. Being black and white it will go with everything. Although this is the second time I've worn it, it's the second time I've paired it with neutrals! I even wore it with this tee last time I wore it too. It is a good layer to add a little more interest to the plain grey pocket tee and distressed denim skirt outfit. Even the the tan slides though it was a lot of dark neutrals, so I added the purple marble and gold necklace to brighten it up a little, and then my deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag. I really like the extra but not overwhelming colour this bag adds to a neutral outfit.

Ideal outfit for a playdate and a couple of errands on the weekend.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

A busy day and being temporarily without a car meant comfortable sneakers for some actual running around. As well as the school drop off, we had an appointment for my son that morning. And then it was racing back home to work from home for a few hours before heading back to school to pick up the kids.

It was another hot and humid Brisbane summer day so while a black tee and black denim skirt weren't the best colour choice, I thought the white cover up would help reflect some of the heat and keep me cool. And I liked the pattern mix of the space dye tee against the floral Paisley print on the cover up. Wasn't sure at first if it would be too busy, but I think sticking with black and white in both prints worked.

Again I went with the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little bit of colour. And happened to pick the same necklace again! I really do like this bag and necklace worn together.


Last worn: floral print cover up, space dye tee, marble necklace (above), black denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Chloe purple small Paraty bag (above).

Navy Dresses And Purple Bags

I like blue and purple together, no matter the shades! I accessorised both of these navy dresses I wore recently with little purple bags in different shades of purple.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings (Christmas present)
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

On another day of the summer heatwave I needed something simple to wear and this Kmart navy tiered dress was perfect for the heat. I kept the accessories simple with the blush wooden necklace, tan slides and my lilac Polene bag. I had the school drop off and a few hours of working from home before a couple of quick errands in the afternoon and then school pickup.

I like how simple dresses like this are for a hot day - instant outfits! And I thought the lilac and blush accessories worked well with the navy.


Last worn: navy Kmart tiered dress, blush necklace, tan slides, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wearnavy Kmart tiered dress and duster, tan slides and shorts, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and printed dress.






What I wore:




Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Necklace: Grandmothers vintage silver necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes:  Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Another purple bag, and another navy dress. This Jaase autumn leaves print dress is one of my favourites and was perfect for a day at my parents. It was still warm despite being a very wet day, so this light viscose long sleeved dress was just right for the weather. I added the Adidas Superstar sneakers to have closed in shoes for the rain and as a practical choice for a quick errand before the drive down the cost to my parents.

With the red autumnal leaves colours in the print of the dress, I wasn't sure this purple Paraty bag would work, as much as I like navy and purple together. But I'm glad I gave it a wear with this dress, I think it worked nicely with the leaf print.


Last worn: pink star earrings, Jaase autumn leaves dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the necklace.

Tiered Dresses And Chloe Periwinkle Paraty

Simple summer outfits is the theme for my daily dressing and susequently my blog posts lately, with the heat and humidity we have been experiencing in Brisbane! Both these tiered dresses are perfect for hot days. And despite the very different colours of the dresses, they both work with the little periwinkle small Chloe Paraty bag so well.


What I wore:




Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya (Christmas present)
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap


Why I wore it:

Wearing a few new pieces here! I got a lot of amazing things for Christmas. This mango coloured tiered dress was from my mum, it is so nice and light in both colour and because it's a linen blend. Beautiful for a day with a bunch of errands to run. 

The shoes were a practical choice for a bit of walking and driving around. I thrifted a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers at the end of 2020. They were very comfortable and also pretty broken in, so I wasn't too surprised when they eventually fell apart as the stitching finally came undone. Thankfully my mum was happy to buy me a replacement pair. These are a lot whiter and brighter than my previous preloved pair, but still just as comfortable to wear. I know I'll get a lot of wear from both the dress and the shoes, lovely gifts! The old pair of Superstars I thrifted were in 94 posts on the blog so I got at least that many wears from them, probably nearly 100 when you consider I double up the outfits in my posts. Not bad for a $3 opshop find!

Paired these new pieces with some old favourites from my wardrobe. This suede navy tassel necklace goes with everything, and I really like the periwinkle Paraty bag and handmade strap against the yellow dress.


Last worn: navy tassel necklace, Adidas Superstar (previous pair), Chloe Paraty.

Other ways to wearAdidas Superstar and jeans, Chloe Paraty and shorts.



Chloe Small Paraty Bag Review & What's In My Bag:






What I wore:



Earrings: opal reindeer stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is all old favourites from my wardrobe, with no new pieces except the little opal stud earrings my sister gave me. We took advantage of both having some time off for the Christmas holidays to visit a few local opshops, where my sister found me some amazing pressies for Christmas and scored an incredible bargain NWT dress find for herself. Afterwards we had lunch by the bay, with the kids playing in the water play area at the Whale Park. It was a really good day!

This Kmart tiered dress is a cotton dress, so not as light as the one above, but it does also have pockets which is very helpful, and it was still good to wear on a hot day. Although a very different colour, the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag works well with the navy of this dress just as well as the yellow above.


Last worn: gold circle necklace, navy tiered dress, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag (above). first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent gift.

Other ways to wearnavy tiered dress and duster, Chloe small Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Pink Tees, Blazers, Navy Pencil Skirts And Purple Paraty | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, another couple of office outfits with my favourite colour trio of blue, pink and purple. I wore some pink tees with navy pencil skirts, dressed up a little with blazers for the office, and accessorised with my little purple Chloe Paraty bag.


What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
SkirtAsos blue textured lace pencil skirt
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly, this blue lace skirt and the pink tee haven't been worn together before! Even though the pink tee is a favourite and I've worn the lace skirt over 30 times. The navy blazer on top dresses up a tee for the office nicely, and I liked how similar it was to the navy lace on my skirt. The navy necklace I added for a little more matchy-matchy too, and I thought the purple small Paraty bag was such a good colour with the navy and pink.

I just went for plain black ballet flats to wear, although this did have me wondering if I should have a navy pair, the black ones worked okay in this outfit.


Last worn: navy blazer, pink teenavy necklacelace pencil skirt, black ballet flats, Chloe Paraty bag.

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Another navy textured pencil skirt outfit! I haven't quite hit 30 wears with this jacquard pencil skirt yet, but I'm getting there. Again I added a blazer, a black one this time to match the jacquard texture of the skirt. And black Converse as it was a quiet day in the office.

The pink tee is a new purchase last month - it's such a good basic, I liked it paired with the navy and black and the blazer dresses it up well for a day at my desk.

Even though the pink shade of this tee is a little deeper than the tee in the first outfit, I still loved the purple mini Paraty bag with this outfit. It goes with so much!

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.

Black Tanks, Printed Skirts and Blazers | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link up, sharing two times I wore a midi skirt and black tank outfit formula with blazers over the top for the office.


What I wore:


Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace (new purchase)
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Last time I wore this green daisy print midi skirt to the office I worried the side slit was a bit too high. I saw the skirt hanging in my wardrobe and felt it was due another wear, and when I tried it on I wondered why I felt it was too high for the office, the length seems to cancel out the slightly higher slit. I quickly realised when I got to the office though, that the slit does expose quite a bit of leg when you sit down, and that was my main issue with it last time I wore it. Ended up tugging at the skirt all day, not the best choice of outfit. I did really like how this looked, just made me a bit self conscious in the office when anyone stopped by my desk.

With the neutral black tank and the grey blazer, the neon chartreuse necklace added needed pop of colour, and the light khaki small Chloe Ethel bag added some more lightness to the outfit too.


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, black linen blend tank, green print midi skirt, black ballet flats, Chloe small Ethel bag. First time I've worn the chartreuse necklace as it's a recent opshop buy.

Other ways to weargrey jersey blazer and dress, black linen blend tank and leopard print, green print midi skirt and band tee, black ballet flats and jeans, Chloe small Ethel bag and maxi skirt.






What I wore:


Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki



Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Top: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above (in theory, although not so much in practice!) I copied it again for another office day. I wore my comfortable Converse sneakers this time instead of the ballet flats, and again it was another midi skirt and a black tank outfit. I liked the lace detail of this tank with the mesh polka dot layer of the midi skirt, it was a nice texture combination, and it lifted the outfit a little with all the black of the black blazer and tank together. 

This skirt is an old favourite that I saw in a magazine back in the days I used to read magazines and had to buy it - it is the Mica skirt after all! Surprisingly I haven't hit 30 wears on it yet, I'll need to wear it more often! I liked the blush necklace with it, although the skirt is more of a peachy pink I thought the shades worked nicely together with the black tank in between.


Last worn: black jersey blazer, black lace tank, statement necklace, polka dot pencil skirt, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).
