Adding Colour To Neutral Knits With Skinny Jeans & Balenciaga Bags

The simple outfit formulas are ones I keep coming back to! Cosy neutral knits, skinny jeans and Balenciaga bags with a touch of colour make an easy outfit for a mum. While I wore these back in winter last month they would work on a cold spring day too!

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!

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!

How You Can Wear It:

On a colder day, a cosy knit is a staple with skinny jeans! You can try changing up your outfit a little by adding some colour to a neutral knit  - by swapping classic blue jeans for a brighter pair, or adding some colourful accessories like a scarf or bag.

  8. I 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!

  29. 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.
    Oh, and I went to the Opshop in France and got three pieces for 14 €. Not as hood as you, but very satisfying for me.

  40. 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!

  41. 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!

  42. Skinny 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!

  43. Oh 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!
