Boots and Skinny Jeans: Printed Shirt, Grey Tee

Ended up taking photos with boots and skinny jeans twice in a row! I really like wearing boots and jeans in cooler weather, it doesn't last long here in Queensland.

Here's what I wore to visit family and go shopping:
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Jeanswest 'Ruby' mixed print shirt
JeansJeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"


It's the first time I've worn this shirt on the blog, but not the first time I've worn it. I bought it back when I was still pregnant and Jeanswest were having one of their 40% off sales. For those early days of breastfeeding, a button up shirt over a breastfeeding singlet is a great outfit idea when you have to get out of the house and you want to feel dressed up. I just wasn't organised enough when I wore it to get a photo for the blog.

Wore the shirt this time with skinny jeans and ankle boots, just like the suggested styling idea on the site. Was such a nice outfit, even if I didn't fully think it through. Baby T was being babysat by family as I had a few errands to run in the morning, and then we had a family BBQ in the evening. When I went to leave baby for a few hours I realised that I hadn't brought a bag for my own things - they were just in the baby bag! Ended up carrying my wallet and phone around in the morning, wishing I'd thought a little longer about what I was doing to have realised I'd need a handbag for when the baby bag was left behind. Just too used to going out and about without a handbag now I guess.


Last worn:Ray-Ban wayfarers, burgundy skinny jeans, Acne pistol boots. First time I've worn the shirt on the blog.



Here's what I wore to spend the morning at the beach:
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Just Jeans dark brown cropped cotton trench coat 
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TeeGrey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves
JeansJeanswest blue skinny jeans
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


This tee is becoming my beach wear tee! Wore it to the beach last time too. It was a much colder and windier day this time around, but we went to out local dog beach despite the weather. It gave baby T his first chance to see the sea - after he slept through it the last time - and let Cooper stretch his legs and run off-leash. We left the baby bag in the car and wore baby in his carrier, so I made sure to take a handbag with me this time to have somewhere to store my camera and phone as we walked. Didn't want to make the same mistake as the day before! A cute little clutch was all I needed for the essentials.

The boots seemed like a good idea that morning to keep my feet dry and warm as we walked along the sand, as it was much too cold to go for a dip. We ended up walking in a lot of muddy and wet sand as the tide was out though, so leather boots were not the best choice. My feet stayed dry, but the boots look a little worse for wear! There are one or two days a year I wish I had Wellington boots, this was one of those days.


As this is the second wear of the grey tee from my August purchases and I'm trying to review what I buy, the final verdict:
I love this tee. I've only worn it with denim so far, but I know from experience that it pairs well with skirts too. Having this tee in other colours meant this purchase was always going to be a keeper, and something I knew I would wear. I'm really pleased I could score it on sale, as it's always been sold out in my size every time I've seen it previously. Very pleased with this purchase! I've actually worn it more often than I've taken photos of it, such a good tee.


Last worn: Wayfarers (see above), cropped trench coat, grey oversize tee, skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

  3. You can definitely rock jeans and boots, so no wonder why you choose to wear them multiple times! If I looked like that in them, I would wear them all the time! :)

  6. Skinny jeans paired with jeans are definitely a timeless and super practical combo! Loving your casual looks Mica...haha that's funny that you forgot to have your own handbag because you are so used to just putting your things in the baby bag! lol

  7. I love the jean and boots combo. This is probably something I am constantly on repeat during autumn/winter. Long riding boots are the only shoes that keep my feet warm AND I especially adore the flat heels for that comfort. I really like the grey T with a light wash denim jeans on the second look.

    1. It's a shame they are so far away! Ours is close by, but a little tricky to get to, so we don't go too often. But Cooper loves the freedom when we do! :)

  13. I really like the top in the first photo. I remember days of the baby bag and not carrying the purse - you don't realize it until you need to part with the baby bag.
