What I wore:
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH
Why I wore it:
A busy but fun filled day! Had to take my son to an appointment before Kindy and then drop him off at Kindy a little later. It was a stressful morning trying to fit everything in but I had the whole afternoon to myself before Kindy pickup. I headed to the opshop to drop off three boxes of things we no longer wanted, and had a little browse of the clothes as they had a fill a bag for $5 sale on.I certainly made the most of being kid free, trying on a basket and arm full of clothes and filling up a bag for the boys and a bag for myself - 19 pieces all together! Not bad for $10! Made some time to film some videos before going to pickup the kids too.
I like wearing this ombre knit with my colourful denim collection, I think the neutral colours work well with brights and it's the first time I've worn these green jeans and knit together. I really liked the combination.
I added the black Balenciaga part time bag as it fit everything I needed for the appointment, but I did wonder if I should have worn black ballet flats instead of these tan ones with the black bag. Still liked my outfit though!
Last worn: ombre knit, coin pendant necklace, green skinny jeans, camel flats, Balenciaga black part time bag.
Other ways to wear: ombre knit with leopard print, green skinny jeans with navy, camel flats and wrap dress, Balenciaga black part time bag worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: ombre knit at 40 weeks, camel flats in third trimester, Balenciaga black part time bag in second trimester.
My Balenciaga Handbag Collection
What I wore:
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet (more affordable preloved)
Why I wore it:
Wearing a similar outfit again, cosy knit and skinny jeans but this time I stuck with a classic black pair of jeans and added the colour through my accessories. This pink Fashion Scarf Girl crinkle scarf, while a different shade from the Balenciaga city bag, makes such a nice combination worn together. I've worn the scarf and bag together before here too!This was a nice simple and colourful outfit for church. I like how the foil polkas dots on the grey knit are subtle enough that I can wear it with anything!
Last worn: grey polka dot knit, pink crinkle scarf, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, silver ballet flats, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.
Other ways to wear: grey polka dot knit and maxi skirt, pink crinkle scarf and little black dress, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and mustard tee, silver ballet flats and pencil skirt, Balenciaga sorbet city bag and kimono.
Perfect for pregnancy: silver ballet flats in third trimester, Balenciaga sorbet city bag in second trimester.

They are so rare and I take advantage of them when I get them!
DeleteI just LOVE the styling of this bag! It's gorgeous in both colors. And those first thing in the AM doctor appointments are stressful for me too. Trying to get myself AND someone else out the door at the same time doesn't seem to get easier even as my kids get older. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeletewhat an interesting color combination on that first look! LOVE it!! especially that sweater, super cute! x

That awesome you donated 3 boxes of stuff. I have a huge trash bag of clothes I'm giving away to my co-worker.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amysfashionblog.com/blog-home
It's good you can pass your clothes onto her! I find it easy to donate a lot with kids, they outgrow things quickly and I'm trying to edit my wardrobe down, especially when I buy so much!
DeleteBlack Balenciga bag is cool and suit with any color of dresses, but the pink one is so appealing and charming.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Your ombre jumper is really lovely, especially worn with the green jeans. That is definitely my favourite of your two outfits. Have a lovely end of the week, Mica! xxx

That bag is absolutely gorgeous! Love how you styled this look.

Looks like my perfect outfit formula, jeans and a knit. I don’t own any colorful bottoms though, so I need to rely on my scarves.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I went to the Opshop in France and got three pieces for 14 €. Not as hood as you, but very satisfying for me.
That's great deal, congrats! :)
DeleteLove adding a pop of color to a neutral look- it makes it so fun!

When outfit combinations work you just can keep going back to them. The bright bags really go a long way of adding a fun pop to both of these looks. Wow 19 pieces for $10 is quite an impressive bargain! Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt was an awesome deal! :)
DeleteWow 19 pieces for $10! That is a steal! I really like how you always have a pop of color with your outfits!

You have a great collection of colored denim, I must say! I really love that ombre gray sweater. It works great with these colors and would look great with neutrals, too!

I'd wear any of these great looks today!
ReplyDeleteSpecially considering the A/C is sooo cold today.
I love the way you pick out the right neutrals to wear with your colored jeans! I'd probably just go with black or white or off-white for a top and not get too experimental, myself. You put together such stunning looks! I'd have gone with the flats you wore for the second set, but again, I'm not nearly experimental enough. It looks great with the tan flats too. And I just LOVE the hot pinks you added to the second set for color. I have a ton of scarves and they're going to be brightening up more outfits this winter thanks to you!

These bright colors are a nice way to add interest to a grey sweater! Although both of these sweaters have fun extras to make them cute on their own! Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteSkinny jeans and knitted jumper is a great formula. Both of these outfits work like a charm. The green jeans and neutral sweater is a fab combo and so is the black jeans and grey jumper. I love how you styled your Balenciaga bags as well. The black bag works great for the first look and the pink one is perfect with the scarf in the second outfit. 19 pieces for 10 dollars sounds like a great deal Mica. You did make the most out of being kid free that day. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteCool for autumn:)
ReplyDeleteOh yes loving the pops of color with the the jeans and scarf fun ways to do spring. And I bet it was nice to get a breather and shop sans kids. It is not easy shopping with children. And those $5 sales you do so well!
