Striped Tanks and Colourful Skinny Jeans With Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere

These striped tanks are firm favourites, and I often post them together! While one is navy and white stripes and the other is black and white stripes they both pair so perfectly with my brightly coloured jeans that I've been wearing more lately, now it's autumn and cooling down.

What I wore:

BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Some restrictions had been lifted, allowing for both picnics (previously you could only exercise outdoors, not stop and sit) and travelling 50ks from home (previously they recommended staying in our suburbs as much as possible). And while they were relaxing the rules even more the day after this, my sister and I stuck with the current rules on this day and found a spot 50ks between both of us to have a picnic.

We couldn't have asked for better weather - it was a gloriously sunny day, but not too hot, and our picnic spot was mostly deserted, giving the boys plenty of space to run around. As you can see in the insta pic there we had a LOT of space! It was such a nice day and so good to see my sister in person again - while we do frequent family video calls, nothing compares to catching up in person!

While I thought about a pretty dress I realised jeans would be a bit more practical for running around with the kids and their kite - and so I tried to put a little effort in with my hair instead. I did the old no heat overnight curls trick I used to do a few years ago, it turned out okay.

Picked the speedy bandouliere bag as it was fuss free for sitting on the grass, so easy to clean, you just wipe down the canvas!

BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

More relaxed restrictions in Brisbane means the kids are back at school! The early morning start had me reaching for a jacket to cover up my arms and this drawstring waist one I thrifted for $1 back at the start of the year was perfect! It hadn't been worn previously as it had been a warm autumn and we spent most of it isolating at home like the rest of the world.

With the black striped tank and the black jacket, my outfit needed a little extra colour and these bright green skinny jeans were perfect! The first day back at school after an extended break from the virus went well - my son missed his regular routine and I know I'm not as good at teaching as his actual teacher, especially when I had to work from home 3 days a week too.


Last worn: black striped tank, Happiness Boutique necklace, green skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere bag (above). First time I've worn the jacket as although I bought it back at the start of the year it's been too warm to wear until now!

Striped Tanks Under $50:




How You Can Wear It:

A striped tank is a great wardrobe basic and it goes so well with jeans! To add a little extra colour you can try a brightly coloured pair of jeans like these red and green ones, or even introduce a little extra print mixing like I have with the damier ebene speedy bag.

  8. As usual both of the outfits are so nice on you Mica. I love the speedy bag and gave mine to my daughter to use. I love that your bag has the strap to use for a crossbody. Enjoy the weekend.

  9. Loving the curles! I need to start doing more with my hair for a change, not that anyone sees it.
    We've still been staying home all the time. We ordered groceries a couple times to top up food and my mom has brought a few things by when she's gone out. Otherwise it's living with what we've got.

  17. Yay for picnics being allowed! Even if we were allowed to go for local walks, you were not allowed to sit down anywhere, which I couldn't and still cannot see the reason of. I mean, what's the use, if there's no-one else in sight or sitting 10 metres away? Anyway, I'm glad you managed to meet up with your sister. Loving both of your striped tanks and colourful skinnies outfit, with a slight preference for the green and navy one! Have a most wonderful weekend Mica! xxx

  19. Lovely in your stripes, Mica! I'm glad the kids are back at school and you were also able to do a 'distanced meet up' with your sister. Doesn't it feel amazing?

    Your hair looks really cute with the waves in it! I do mine curly-ish by twisting sections around my finger, carefully sliding the hair off, and then clamping it in place. I leave it while I do my make up in the morning, and then shake it out. Most of the curl falls out within a few hours, but I'm left with nice beachy waves.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    1. Thanks Sheila! I need to try curl my hair like this more often - it's easy to do as I just wrap it overnight and it's done by morning!

  20. Both looks are great for the in-between weather of early fall. I have striped tees just like these! I think I may have mentioned this before. But I use to have a bunch of color jeans but I gave them all away : (

    Ah very inspiring and helpful, thanks for posting :)

  21. I love these outfits, Mica! I'm so happy you got to enjoy your picnic. I'm sure it feels better just to be able to get out and socialize a bit after all of this quarantine time.

    Wishing you the very best weekend ahead! I'm planning on just a relax-and-recharge kind of weekend.

    Lockdown has eased slightly here too, I think we can start having bigger gatherings from Monday in public spaces and gardens.

    Have a great weekend Mica :).

  32. You look cute with curls. I like the first combo a lot. A striped tee paired with coloured jeans looks lovely. Plus, red, white and blue is my favourite colour combo.

    You look great in the second outfit as well. I'm a big fan of stripes, I think they go well with everything. It is nice you were able to fly kites with your kids. It's nice to get out. Here life has pretty much returned to normal, but school is just a bit confusing. Not all parents have opted for their kids to come back to schools.

I tell myself this just makes life easier when throwing together an outfit but I really do love the ones you've managed to create with these colourful jeans!

  42. Hi Mica
    First, I'm sorry I didn't participate in your link up, but I was in the hospital having surgery !!
    Here the restrictions are also being lifted. What a beautiful place you found for the picnic. I love stripes, but I don't have much in my wardrobe, it's something I have to change !!
    You look beautiful in both looks !!

  52. It sounds like a really fun time, and it's nice that you're able to get out a bit more and travel further now. My wardrobe is filled with so many striped tops (mainly long sleeved because...England) but I love them, such great staples for outfits like this. x
