Henley, Scarf and Maxi Skirt: Comfortable SAHM Winter Outfit

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'll happily wear maxi skirts year round, as we don't have snow to contend with over winter in Brisbane. I have been looking out my long sleeved tops to wear with them now though! I have a few long sleeved henley tops, they are a nice casual option and perfect stay at home mum wear.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Top: Jeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

This was a really simple outfit. It was a cold morning, I was recovering from the cold and baby boy was sick as well, but toddler T was fully recovered and ready to play! I did contemplate wearing my trackie dacks (sweats/joggers) to go out... I usually reserve those for at home wear only.

I had to change my top anyway thanks to baby boy, so I picked out this maxi skirt at the same time I was choosing the henley. The jersey fabric is just as comfortable as my trackie dacks but because it's a maxi skirt it looks a lot more pulled together.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, striped henley, black jersey maxi skirt, Marc Jacobs ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC. First time I've worn the cobalt scarf as it is a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: striped henley and denim shorts in spring, black jersey maxi skirt and a baby bump, Marc Jacobs ballet flats and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and navy kimono.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)

Scarf: Alexander McQueen Azure wool skull scarf
Top: Jeanswest 'Aubrey' pintuck yoke henley in deep teal
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots (on sale here!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I adored this outfit. When I saw the blue and teal skull print scarf I knew I wanted to wear it with this top. While the scarf was on massive sale and a great price, thinking of this top with it is what made me add it to my cart. I felt stylish, pulled together, was over my cold...and then baby spat up all over my shoulder. Didn't feel so great then, haha!

It's one of the reasons I'm glad I got into the habit before kids of taking photos of my outfits each morning when I go out - with two boys under 2 my clothes never stay clean long! By the end of the day at least one of us has had to change what we are wearing, and I'm likely to be in my pyjamas or the above mentioned trackie dacks.

I'm reviewing everything I buy after wearing it twice to make sure I'm making smart purchases, so my purchase review for this scarf:
I'm glad I bought this. I know I have a lot of scarves but I was feeling like I needed to add some blue ones to my collection. As this one is woolen, it's cosy and perfect for winter.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), blue and green skull scarf, teal henley, grey marle maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: skull scarf and stripes, teal henley and a striped skirt, grey maxi skirt and a green tank in summer, black ankle boots and a grey skater dress, aqua mini MAC and a navy kimono.
