Black and Brown: Trench, Printed Dress, Marc Jacobs Fran | Red Knit, Jeans, Converse, Alexander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:
accessories marc by marc jacobs carob brown fran bag on arm printed dress trench coat

awayfromblue brown and black together marc by marc jacobs fran patent flats french connection printed dress trench

Jacket: Just Jeans dark brown cropped cotton trench coat 
Dress: French Connection 'Fast Rhonda' dress in black/caramel
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


I usually pick my clothes out the night before so I have a little bit of time to plan what I'm wearing. But on Tuesday night I stayed online quite late helping out at Church Online. It was busy and fun, but I was so tired when it was done. Just grabbed some nice easy pieces - can't go wrong with a printed dress - and the same bag I had the day before. Meant there was more time for sleep, even if you're not supposed to pair black and brown together!

The video at Church Online this week is a really moving one, answering the question "what can I do to help?" for the survivors of disasters, and the tornado in Oklahoma. Please check it out online if you have the time.


Last worn: brown jacket, French Connection printed dress, patent flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Top: Chicabooti red fine knit jumper (with Cotton On red singlet underneath)
Jeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Alexander Wang Rocco with gold hardware in dark argon


There have been a lot of celebrations at work recently after the success of our project, today was another with a casual dress day for a team event in the afternoon. We were warned there would be a lot of paint around, so I wore my washable converse shoes, jeans and a knit. I thought it balanced the line well between casual clothes you wouldn't mind getting paint splashed on and casual clothes for a free dress day in the office!

    Love that dress and jacket combination Mica. Fabulous earthy tones. Your second outfit is so much fun. I love that red and your sneakers. Very nice. Your work, although demanding sounds like fun too.

    I never thought to try an outfit dominated by brown as opposed to black. Hmmm...maybe I'll see if I can pull that off. Thanks for the inspo! Oh and the Rocco bag? LOVE.
