Effortless Winter Dressing: Jumpers, Maxi Skirts and Leather Jackets

Like most new mums who are breastfeeding, I'm living in nursing singlets. It's so easy to get changed from stay at home lounge wear to acceptable clothing in public just by pulling a knitted jumper over them and swapping the trackie dacks for a maxi skirt. I've worn this outfit a lot more often than I've had the chance to take blog photos of, as it really is effortless. Adding a leather jacket helps look like I put a little more effort in than I really did!

What I wore:

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

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Jumper: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This embellished knit can sometimes be tricky to wear with a scarf, but luckily the leather jacket kept me cosy enough so I didn't need one. I even took the jacket off in the afternoon. Wore this simple and comfortable outfit for Toddler T's swim lesson and then a BBQ dinner at the in-laws.

Sadly, the cute deer charm fell off my bag on the way back to the car after swimming. I was able to pick it up, but I'll need to repair it before it can go back on my bag. My speedy bag will be charm-less for a while!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, printed leather jacket, embellished jumper, black jersey maxi skirt, Converse, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: printed leather jacket and a shift dress, embellished jumper and skinnny jeans, black jersey maxi skirt with pink and blue accessories, Converse and a graphic tee, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and a wrap dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather jacket

Jumper: Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: Izabel London Aztec print maxi skirt (C/O)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

It felt like a while since I last wore this maxi skirt, so I wanted to wear it out again. I debated over whether or not I should wear this jumper with it - the marle effect is nice but I worried it would be too much with the print on the skirt. I'm glad I decided to wear this though, the cobalt blue is really nice against the darker colours. Quick and easy outfit to go get groceries with the boys.


Last worn: black leather jacket, cobalt knit, printed maxi skirt, black ballet flats, LV speedy bag (above).

Other ways to wear: moto leather jacket and a tartan scarf, cobalt knit in the office, printed maxi skirt and a baby bump in spring, black ballet flats and skinny jeans, LV speedy bag and denim shorts.
