Maxi Skirts and Mulberry Alexa Bag: Winter SAHM Style

I like to wear my maxi skirts year round, even in winter they are wearable with the right layers as we don't get snow in Brisbane. While I like my maxi skirts, I don't always like the outfits I create with them! One outfit below I really liked and one I wasn't very happy with.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy (on sale!)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots (on sale!)
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

This is the outfit I really liked! First time I've worn this cosy cobalt leather jacket this year. I haven't been wearing it much this winter, with a baby boy who spits up more than his big brother. It's had a run in with a baby before... As I wanted to get in another wearing of this navy tee to hit my "wear new things twice in a month" goal, I needed a cosy layer to wear on top and this jacket was perfect.

It was a short trip out, just to the doctors with the boys to get a certificate to say that toddler T was well enough to interact with other kids again and go back to daycare after he'd recovered from his last bout of sickness.

As it's the second time I've worn this tee, my purchase review:
This tee was a complete impulse buy. I don't have any basic navy tees though so it does fill a bit of a wardrobe gap and I find it so easy to wear as it's blue. I've been wearing tees a lot lately and as I mentioned before I'm a fan of the Atmos & Here tees so it was a good purchase. I'm pleased I bought this.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, galaxy print scarf, navy tee, grey maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Mulberry Alexa bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket in the office, galaxy print scarf and a trench coat, navy tee and flares, maxi skirt and a graphic tee, black ankle boots and a printed dress, Mulberry Alexa bag and chambray.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Tee: Threadless "I want to be Friends" grey tee (closeup of text)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. I've worn the tee and skirt together before when it was warmer, and thought I'd try it again with a purple cardigan for some colour. It was a nice casual outfit in theory for playgroup but I wasn't entirely happy with it, felt it was missing something. I mentioned on Instagram that Cooper's pose in the outtake was the best thing about my outfit! Just wasn't loving this. Maybe I needed to add a scarf, what do you think?


Last worn: purple cardigan, Threadless graphic tee, black jersey maxi skirt, Converse, Mulberry Alexa (above).

Other ways to wear: purple cardigan and flares, graphic tee and a striped skirt, maxi skirt and babywearing, Converse and skinny jeans, Mulberry Alexa and denim shorts.
