Easy Winter Outfit Formula: Boots, Skinnies, Scarf and Maxi Cardigan

I ended up wearing two very similar outfits in one week. This wool cardi was a great purchase as it's been worn a lot this winter. It works so well with skinny jeans. Just add boots and a cosy scarf and it's an easy stay at home mum winter outfit formula.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan

Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Top: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

This breastfeeding tank was hidden away in my wardrobe - was happy to stumble across it and get it out for another wearing, it's been over a year since the last time. While the majority of the things I wear to breastfeed are just normal tops I can pull up or down, it's nice to have a few dedicated nursing friendly pieces in my wardrobe.

As usual I was rushing around in the morning, trying to get the boys organised for playgroup. I wanted to wear a scarf with this and picked the tan snood as I thought it would compliment the boots well. Completely different shades, but I think they go together nicely.


Last worn: wool cardigan, paisley print snood, bubble tank, skinny jeans, leather boots, Mulberry Alexa.

Other ways to wear: maxi cardigan and flares, paisley print snood and a little red dress, bubble tank in the third trimester, skinny jeans and a khaki tank, leather boots and a boho dress, Mulberry Alexa and a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan

Scarf: gifted navy bird print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore to run out in the morning and do a few quick errands and get more supplies for dealing with a sick toddler. While toddler T is better now and can interact with kids and return to his twice weekly daycare sessions, we were quarantined at home for a while as hand foot and mouth is really contagious between kids. Thankfully adults don't have any symptoms if they do catch it (at most a mild cold) and we managed to prevent toddler T passing it onto his baby brother. My mother in law kindly watched toddler T for a while so I could get out and get everything we were running low on.

I defaulted to that easy outfit formula I'd worn a few days before. The scarf is new, I thought it was nice with the blue jeans and grey top. It was a Christmas present last year and I'm pleased it's cool enough to wear it, I really like the bird print. (Birds like it too apparently!)


Last worn: wool cardigan (above), grey tee, prima skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots (above), Mulberry Alexa (above). First time I've worn the bird print scarf.

Other ways to wear: wool cardigan and a maxi skirt, grey tee and denim shorts, prima skinny jeans and a kimono, leather boots and a polka dot shirt dress, Mulberry Alexa and leopard print.
