Striped Tops, Skinny Jeans, Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff MAB

A brief period of warmer weather near the end of winter last month had me ditching some of the layers and going without a jacket or cardigan. Still with longer sleeves though! These striped 3/4 length sleeve tops were overdue a wear.

A stripes and denim outfit combination is always a winner, and great for stay at home mum days.

What I wore:

burgundy striped tee with grey skinny jeans, feather embroidered scarf, RM MAM bag and red suede flats | awayfromblue

Scarf: grey and gold embroidered feather scarf
DressAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
JeansJeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

This top has been badly overlooked all winter - it's a favourite for me, it's nice and thick and so cosy on the cooler days. I decided to let the top be the star and keep everything else neutral, with the grey skinny jeans, grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag and my fun grey feather embroidered scarf.

I couldn't decide what shoes to wear with this until I remembered my little red suede ballet flats. I love these shoes but so rarely wear them as I tend to go for neutral shoes instead. Even though the red of the shoes is a different shade from the burgundy stripes on the tee, I thought it was a fun combination and really enjoyed wearing this! Simple outfit for a day with the boys, running a few errands and visiting the library and playground.

5 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Grey MAM Bag

TopJeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy morning! Swimming lessons, attending the Lion King Ooshies swap day and then an appointment, all before lunch, phew! Wanted something simple so went with this classic striped Henley and my green skinny jeans. I like navy with these green jeans, and the stripes go so well with it. Added in a bolder bright blue with the cosy cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl too, which helped keep me warm in the cooler morning before the temperatures heated up.

With the bright scarf and jeans together, I went with a neutral bag and shoes. These silver ballet flats go with everything and the Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag in grey is a wardrobe staple, which was big enough to fit my things in, some things for the boys and of course our Lion King toys for the swap day.

The swap day was a little hectic, but I thought it would be fun for the boys to go to swap some of the extra toys they had after they completed their collection. They swapped with others to pick some new toys for them to play with and to let the others complete their collections. I was proud of how they behaved and shared and swapped. They came home and immediately started playing 'swap day' with the toys they had so I know they enjoyed the experience!

How You Can Wear It:

A striped top with longer sleeves is great for days when you don't need or want an extra jacket or cardigan over the top. You can keep it simple and wear a bright striped top with neutral jeans, or add more colour with some bright jeans instead. Either way, you can't go wrong with a classic stripes and jeans combo!

  2. I really like the colour combo in your first outfit, Mica! I love how the burgundy stripes complement your shoes so nicely. The grey jeans look great with that pretty scarf and the bag matches nicely too. Hope you're having a great week so far. It was so hot today, wasn't it?! ;) XXX

  10. Yay to the stripes and jeans combo. I love the simplicity of these two elements. I've never heard of children's swap day and must thank you for teaching me something new! You are such a loving and engaging mother and your kids are so lucky to have you. As for the outfits, you know I'd wear them! Minus the long sleeves during hot temps :D Wishing you a lovely week ahead :)

  18. A striped top with jeans is such a classic and foolproof outfit choice. You've inspired me to add a scarf the next time I wear this type of look.

  19. I don't know why but I struggle with what to wear with grey. Neutrals are obvious, but sometimes can look dull. Seeing your first outfit with the red shoes is SO cute!! I love that combo!

  25. These are just my kind of outfits. They are perfect for the busy mom life you lead and when I am going to be running errand, skinny jeans, soft long sleeve tees or sweaters and scarves are a go to in the cooler weather. I'll be reaching for those soon as our weather gets cooler. I love the idea of a swap day for the kiddos. I wish we would have thought of that when our girls were young. Hope you are having a great week. - Amy

  27. I love stripes - If I see a navy stripe sweater.. I have to have it haha! I like that these combinations are simple yet look put together. Us in the UK are now in the awkward transition of wearing something too hot or cold as we head into Autumn!

  47. The MAB will always have a special place in my heart--my bffl got one, gosh, maybe like 8 years ago, and I thought it was the most beautiful bag ever! I have a gorgeous purple MAM but hardly ever use it because I'm paranoid about messing it up!
