What I wore:
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Why I wore it:
If you haven't been following along on Instagram, I'm on a quest to take outfit photos near all the jacaranda trees we pass when we are out 😂 A sure sign of spring in Brisbane, when everything is blanketed in beautiful purple flowers for a few short weeks.I took the boys out to a local park and drove down this street - I knew it would be the perfect spot for photos. I may have picked this street to drive by because my friends took beautiful wedding photos here with the jacarandas, ha! You can see them lined up the street behind me there too. With two young kids though I needed to stick to the paths so picked this not too tall tree to pose by. My youngest boy decided to spend his time waiting while his brother took pics searching for the perfect fallen jacaranda flower to give me, and once he picked it he just couldn't wait on the sidelines any longer! You can't see as I cropped him out of that first photo, but he stood close by and in the frame of every shot after giving me the flower, ha!
That's life with toddlers though - and I like the photobomber outtakes as they have his cute little face in them! Photos done and flower safely stored away we spent a few hours in the playground.
Outfit wise I kept it simple, this comfortable peplum tee was a great neutral with the bright red skinny jeans. Both the tee and jeans were thrift finds, as is the statement necklace. The metallic silver mini MAC bag seemed like a good neutral to accessorise with.
Last worn: space dye peplum tee, statement necklace, red skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: space dye peplum tee with olive jeans, red skinny jeans and knit in winter, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and maxi dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC in second trimester.
What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC
What I wore:
Top: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC
Why I wore it:
Another brightly coloured outfit, with another pair of colourful jeans. These purple jeans are often worn with blue, and they are the first thing that came to mind when this navy bird print peplum tank popped up on my Instagram archive - it inspired me to get the tank out again. I'm sure I'm not the only personal style Instagrammer being inspired to pull pieces out again or try outfit combos after seeing things pop up on the Instagram archive! With the pink bird print I went with pink accessories: the blush necklace and the neon pink mini MAC bag was an extra burst of colour.As it was forecast to rain most of the day we headed around the furniture stores and Ikea, keeping out of the worst of the weather and missing the storms entirely.
Last worn: bird print peplum tank, blush and rose gold necklace, purple skinny jeans, Havaianas (above), neon pink mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: bird print peplum tank and pencil skirt, purple skinny jeans worn 30 ways, neon pink mini MAC and little black dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: purple skinny jeans in the first trimester.
Peplum Tops Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
A peplum top is a great piece to wear with jeans. Super comfortable and great for hiding a mum-tum or a food baby, it's a nice little frill detail that elevates a tank or tee. For an extra bright outfit, you can try wearing a pair of colourful jeans instead of a classic black or blue pair.Linking up with Fashion Files, Thursday Moda, Chic and Stylish, Fancy Friday, Weekend Wear, Fabulous Friday.
Don't stay away from blue! All of the shade from this cool, calming palette look incredibly beautiful on you ;)

ReplyDeleteYour two photo-bombers made me laugh. L is often making faces in the backgrounds of my pictures - I usually crop him out.
The difficulties of getting blog pics, haha! :)

ReplyDeleteSo jealous of the gorgeous jacaranda trees! We don't have anything quite like that around here. They make for a perfect outfit accent! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you styled both peplum tops! I am usually scared to rock them, because I feel they don't look nice on me, but you gave me some inspiration to try them again!
