What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Scarf: navy bird print scarfJacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Ava elephant pendant teething necklace
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white (on sale and on sale in metallic!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale and on sale in brown!)
Why I wore it:
Wore this for a trip to Australia zoo. While it was quite warm and I took my cardigan off for most of the day, I was thankful I'd brought the scarf as it's a great breastfeeding coverup. Plus the bird print is perfect for a day at the zoo. Didn't attract the local birds like I did last time I wore it though!The elephant necklace was a last minute addition but again was a fun animal themed piece to wear to the zoo. I have a few teething necklaces from when toddler T was a baby, this one is a new one I got in a babyology subscription box. Baby boy has started grabbing and tugging on my hair hard so the necklace was a little bit of a distraction for him. Came in handy on the long car ride home when we got stuck in traffic with a cranky baby too, one of my friends tied it to the baby capsule like a little mobile to calm him down.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, grey cardi, bird print scarf, breastfeeding tank, skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.
Other ways to wear: grey cardi and a maxi skirt, bird print scarf and stripes, breastfeeding tank and maxi skirt, skinny jeans and a floral kimono, Converse and flares, two different ways to wear a saddle bag.

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardiganScarf: red and black skull print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black (on sale and on sale in grey)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale and on sale in blue!)
Why I wore it:
It was a slightly cooler day so I was glad I'd worn a thicker cardigan. While I took the scarf off and on as I was babywearing with the Ergo carrier, the cardigan stayed on all day as we went into the city for brunch. It's getting more fun to eat out with toddler T as he's getting to the age where we can order a little meal for him to, and he definitely enjoyed his little serving.I've mentioned before that I wasn't too sure about what kind of printed scarves I could wear with these jeans, but I find skull scarves seem to go with everything and I don't worry about wearing them with other prints. It was nice to have a little more red in my outfit too.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan with cobalt tee, red skull scarf and striped cardi, grey tee and maternity pencil skirt, printed skinny jeans and purple, Converse and spring dresses, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and flares.

As always you've got a nice scarf and it suits the bag too. This bag is pretty, a feminine version of Valentino.

The rounded studs are a nice take on the Valentino pyramid studs for sure :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful scarf! Loving the combination of the pants with the top and the shoes as well! :)

Something I'm totally doing next time around is the teething necklaces. Actually, before reading your blog, I had no idea they even existed! Back when Penny was a little thing, she loved to thug at my hair. Wish I would have had one of those!
ReplyDeleteI think the elephant teething necklace is so fitting. If you remember, I too like to wear animals things to the zoo. (;
haha yes I thought of you and your elephant print kimono! :) Hope you can get some teething necklaces next time around, they do save your hair! :)
DeleteSo cute in skinny jeans! Love that red purse! =)

Who would have thought that a skull print would be a neutral?? I love it! I appreciate that you're making an effort to be dressed nicely when you're out and about, Mica! Well done! I know it must be tough with two little ones, but you're looking fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila! I'm one of those people who feel a little better if I think a little about what I wear so I try make time to think up my outfit the day before :)
DeleteIt is such a relief when they get older and you can take them out to eat. And then you realize that you have another one that cant eat or even sit on its own...
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Haha yes two steps forward, one step back! Won't be long until they are both sitting and eating in high chairs next to us!
DeleteLove the red bag! :)

Both looks are fun, and how fun to be out and about with your boys--I'm sure they love it. LOVE that adorable elephant necklace, and also the mix of the printed jeans + skull scarf. It gives your look some edge, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThey have definitely enjoyed all the new experiences with my friend being over, a nice break from the routine :)
DeleteIt's always nice to be able to get out more when friends are in town visiting! Your outfit for the zoo was really cute and the elephant necklace gave it a fun and colorful ouch!
ReplyDeleteI love the first outfit! It is something that I would wear out myself, simple but still very stylish and I'm really loving that bird printed scarf. Sounds like you had a great time at the zoo with your friend.

This is such a sweet scarf on you, simple and yet adds something special to the casual outfit! Hope you're having a lovely week so far :)

It sounds like you had an eventful day, girlie! I'm sure the kids loved seeing all the animals at the zoo and how clever of your friend to think of using that super cute necklace as a little mobile to calm the little guy! You look beautiful in both outfits, I'm loving the way you've been working with those chevron printed jeans. They can be touch to pull off, but you've been working them so well! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

Thanks Jalisa! I was a little unsure about how to wear them when they arrived but I'm finding them easier to work into my wardrobe now :)

The bird scarf is so cute, and I love the red saddle bag :)
ReplyDeleteLove the teething necklace. I didn’t know they were a thing but it must be so much more useful! My son always used to rip & chew my gold necklaces so I could never wear them. Love the scarves. They kind of elevate the outfit a little.

Yes my eldest has broken a bracelet before, I'm wary of necklaces with them, so child friendly ones are best! :)
DeleteSuch a cute scarf! I love it!

I used to have a dress in similar bird print to your scarf but it wore out - I still miss it, such a fun and cute print.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun print, shame about your dress though.
DeleteI love that blue & grey outfit. I always think those two colors are so pretty. They compliment everyone. Also love the star scarf and animal necklace. Reminds me of animal cookies :) Glad you to had a great time at the zoo. I need to visit mine.
