Colourful Cardigans, Button Down Tanks and Skinny Jeans for Spring

I love the tops I'm wearing below. They have a couple of different names...button down tank top, button up tank top, collared tank, sleeveless shirt, and probably a few more. But they are perfect for breastfeeding, for a slightly dressier SAHM style and they are wonderful in the office. I really enjoy wearing these tops. Spring is here in Brisbane but a colourful cardigan is a great addition in the cooler mornings and evenings. And my grey Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini bag goes with everything.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Cardigan: Jeanswest long red drape cardigan
Tank: River Island floral print sleeveless shirt
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

This was what I wore at the end of September for the last monthly style challenge of 'finish with a bang'. I wasn't sure what I could wear that would meet that prompt, I figured red was a statement colour and my tank has sequins sewn into the florals so it seems sparkly enough! Although the red cardigan and the burgundy florals don't match I thought they looked nice together. The grey mini MAB was perfect against the colourful top and cardi.

This was a nice easy outfit to spend the day down the coast with my mum and the boys. We had a really good, relaxing day. It was a horrible evening though! To avoid traffic the GPS took me the longest possible route and I was briefly lost in the middle of nowhere with a very cranky baby and a toddler who was unimpressed dinner was late by the time we eventually got home, ha! At least it was only a couple more hours of craziness before everyone was fed, bathed, and tucked up in bed.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, red cardigan, floral button down tank, skinny jeans, metallic flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB.

Other ways to wear: red cardigan and a little black dress, floral button up tank and shorts, skinny jeans and boots, metallic flats and a wrap dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB and leopard print.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers 

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Shirt: Jeanswest Louisa stripe sleeveless shirt (C/O)
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

This was a style-challenge free day so it gave me the opportunity to wear this striped shirt I've been looking at in my wardrobe for far too long. I've mentioned before that it's taken me a little longer to get back into all my pre-baby tops after this pregnancy than it did with my last. Tops that are fitted around the chest are a little tricky, but I'm glad I was able to wear (and button up!) this shirt finally.

Purple and blue are a lovely colour combination so this purple cardi was the perfect topper. Ran a few errands in the morning and spent some time with my mum in the afternoon.
