Blazers and Skinny Jeans With Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags

Because I like making things easy, following the same outfit formula of jeans, a jersey blazer and a printed tank. Along with my Rebecca Minkoff love bags. I bought another version in the recent Rebecca Minkoff sale, and this is the first time I've shared an outfit with it on the blog. You can see the unboxing here.

What I wore:

JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (C/O)
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
BagRebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

I got some rare kid-free time to go shopping! That almost never happens, I think the last time was just before Christmas! I had signed up for a secret santa 'Christmas in July' gift exchange with some Aussie mum vloggers I've met through YouTube, and decided to take a couple of hours to finish up shopping for the person I drew. I had a lot of fun shopping, and picked up a little necklace for me too that you might have already seen here.

As I was kid free, I decided to take out my little Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag. I thought that the peachy-coral would look nice with the pale peach leaves printed on the tank, but they are so pale they never really show up in photos. I still liked the combination though. As it was much too cold for a sleeveless tank, I added the blazer on top. I really liked this outfit and had a productive couple of hours of shopping too.


Last worn: cream blazer, leaf print tank, Nobody Denim jeans, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats. First time I've worn the Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wearcream blazer in the office, leaf print tank worn two ways, Nobody Denim jeans and monochrome outfit, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats and blue dress.

Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag Review & What's In My Bag

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit combo above so much, I repeated it again to go to playgroup. I had the boys with me so went with the bigger grey Love bag. It fits my wallet in it, unlike the smaller peach one. Just nice having everything on me ready to go instead of carrying just a few cards like I did for the shopping trip above.

The neon pink scarf was a nice pop of color with all of the neutrals, and kept me cosy in the cooler morning. I took it off in the afternoon though when it warmed up.

It was good to give this tank another wear too - one of my favourites, each time I wear it I worry it's gone too long between wears. I'm thankful for the Brisbane winter weather that means you can still wear sleeveless tanks with just an extra layer like a blazer on top.


Last worn: black jersey blazer, pink skull scarf, printed tank, purple skinny jeans, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff studded guitar strap, Rebecca Minkoff quilted love bag.

Other ways to wearblack jersey blazer and striped dress, pink skull scarf and chambray dress, printed tank and bright purple, purple skinny jeans and kimono, silver ballet flats and summer dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded guitar strap on Regan bag, Rebecca Minkoff quilted love bag and maxi dress.

Jersey Blazers Under $50:





How You Can Wear It:

Blazers can definitely be worn out of the office. Try pairing them with denim, they work just as well with jeans as they do with pencil skirts. A casual fabric, like these jersey ones, or a knit one, can help make them more comfortable and suited for weekend outfits.

  1. Hi Mica
    I love your first bag in color but I preferred it to the size of your second bag. You believe that we in Portugal are in the summer, but I don't know what happens with weather that it's not hot, so in the sales instead of buying a bikini to go to the beach I bought a winter sweater !!! ahahah
    I liked the lighter shades of the first look.

  2. OMG the peachy coral one! That's GORGEOUS! I love the bigger Love bag as you know, but the peach one is the best! How cute is that? I might be feeling some envy right now, ha ha!

  3. The peachy coral shade is so pretty! Such a lovely bag, and the colour just makes it stand out even more. I love the second Rebecca Minkoff bag as well, but the first one is my fav because of its unique colour. Both outfits are very pretty too. Blazers and skinny jeans is a great outfit formula, this combination can look so cute and elegant.You look great in both of these outfits. In the first one, the bag really draws the eye and in the second the pink scarf. I would say you picked the perfect accessories for both.

  4. Mica your casual outfits always inspire, you look so beautiful in your skinny jeans which fit some perfectly! Love the little orange bag it's gorgeous!

    Recently brought some skinny jeans from Next, they're more legging/jeans because I always find it so hard to find full-denim jeans to fit me well.

    You look lovely and styled beautifully!

    Hope you're well lovely and that you're having a wonderful week?

  9. I love the colour of the coral bag - it picks up the pale peach leaves in the tank nicely (I can see them fine). I was really excited about your fancy black blazer with what I thought were embellished lapels, until I realized that was your purse strap! I love it, thought - it's such a great way to jazz up a plainer bag.

    Your second outfit is my favourite - very rock & roll! Have a great week, Mica!

  10. You look great in both of these outfits, Mica! I love the softness of the first outfit and your new bag complements that top perfectly. I equally like the second edgier look with the black and grey and the gorgeous pink scarf. Fabulous! Hope you're having a great week, Mica! XXX

  15. The bags are always lovely as usual! The pop of colour from the McQueen scarf is perfect - I'm after another one of the skull scarves but don't know if the colour next to my face would suit! The pink looks great on you though. How great is it to do secret Santa in July!
