Blue Knits and Colourful Skinny Jeans Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Back when we had the icy cold blast of winter in May for a quick end to autumn, I realised I was going to have to get my winter knits out sooner than planned! While I enjoyed the opportunity to bundle up warmly with knits and scarves, I still wanted to be bright and colourful, so I paired my blue knits with some bright skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Dress: thrifted blue Mossman knit jumper
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This outfit was one of those rare ones that looked great in photos but was a bit of a pain to wear. This asymmetrical cropped knit is an opshop find and a beautiful shade of blue and it works so well over dresses. But as it's been ignored over the warmer months I completely forgot that it does ride up a little when it's worn. Not too bad when you're wearing high waisted jeans with it, but it leads to a tricky situation if you're wearing low waisted jeans like this. Especially low rise ones like these Sass and Bide ones. 😂 Thankfully I had a tank layered underneath which kept things covered up, even after the walk to school and wearing my son's backpack lead to the jumper riding up so much!

Difficulty in keeping this outfit in place aside I really did like the colours! I thought the pink striped scarf worked wonderfully with the magenta skinny jeans and I felt so happy in this outfit that morning. Less so after the school drop off though!

Why I wore it:

It was a bit of a warmer day when I wore this, the weather starting to return to more normal temperatures. I ended up taking this scarf off for the afternoon school run. It was helpful in the morning though with the school drop off, especially when it got cloudy. I couldn't resist adding it to the outfit, with the blue knit and the red skinny jeans the navy and red Mickey Mouse print was a fun matchy-matchy pairing. I really enjoyed wearing this. This slouchy knit, also an opshop find, was a lot better behaved than the first one I wore and it didn't ride up at all.

How You Can Wear It:

A blue knit is a fun touch of colour for your winter wardrobe, and it works perfectly paired with brights like red and pink! It's a nice way to make a standard jeans and jumper outfit a little more interesting, by adding some colour.

  5. Both looks are fabulous but dying over that first one. That scarf is so pretty and loving the color palette. It's so weird seeing you starting to dress for warmth while we are almost at summer.

  6. Ahhh, you're vibrant outfits do make me smile Mica! I definitely prefer a longer fit on a jumper, like you say, it can get frustrating having to tug a cropped jumper down throughout the day! Also I love your Mickey Mouse scarf, so subtle but very cute!

    Thanks for the linkup this week! It's good to hear that school is back in session there, gives me hope that ours will be back as well in August when the new schoolyear starts. Not a lot is for sure at the moment.

  16. I really like the asymmetric knit but it's a shame it is a pain to wear. I have a few bits in my wardrobe that look nice in photos but aren't very practical. You inspired me when you mentioned jumpers over dresses though, I am going to make a note for when it turns cooler here.

  22. Both fantastic outfits, Mica! I would put the riding up jumper into the donation bag - I can't abide clothes that don't stay in place! Your colours here in both outfits are just amazing! That blue and pink makes me so happy.

    Thank you so much for the link-up - I'll be joining you shortly.

    1. haha yes I just was thankful I'd put a singlet on underneath! Forgot this rides up a little when wearing so it doesn't work with low rise jeans!

  44. I think one's mood during cold and grey weather gets an instant pick-me-up by wearing colour, so I'm certainly approving of both of your outfits. Tops that ride up do tend are so annoying, so I'm hearing you on the top in the first outfit. Those bright red skinny jeans and that marled blue top are a match made in heaven! xxx

  45. I Love the scarfs the first one has to be my fave. I do also love a pop of colour for spring/summer which we are currently in, in the UK. I hope you and your family are doing well Mica : ) xo

  51. Positively love the bright blue sweater with the red. And that darling Disney scarf. Hard to see cold weather clothes, when we are experiencing record summer temps in the triple digits. You are adorable! I struggle so with putting together 2 solid colors. Want to follow your good lead and try this color combo.

  52. This looks like a great combo, but sometimes some sweaters could be tricky to wear, here we're just entering to summer days but I already miss my sweater.

    By the way I love the combination of colors, it looks great in both examples!
