Maxi Skirts and Knits: Weekday Wear Link Up!

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two winter maxi skirt outfits for two very different days! A bright and colourful one for a day outside enjoying the winter sun and a neutral one for working from home.

What I wore:

navy and orange outfit denim jacket cobalt knit ochre maxi skirt winter mum style | away from blue

rust maxi skirt and Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight | away from the blue

awayfromblue Instagram | denim jacket cobalt knit orange ochre maxi skirt park mum style outfit winter

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

The knit jumper and the denim jacket together may have been a little bit overkill on a warm winter day, but it was very windy! I felt nice and cosy all layered up, and although I thought I wouldn't need a scarf I did miss it when we were in the shade and the wind picked up! Definitely didn't need any more layers on the sun though, it was quite strong and warm sunshine.

I really liked the colour combo of the cobalt knit with the ochre maxi skirt, I need to wear this again! I thought the pale blue denim biker jacket and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag were great additions to the bright colours.

This maxi skirt is quite light in the wind but it's also pretty voluminous and so never flew up too much thank goodness!

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
JumperWarehouse grey bead front jumper
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, I ended up taking this denim jacket off when it warmed up! This pretty embellished knit is one I tend to very sparingly wear as it is so pretty it feels a bit too special for everyday wear, but it was overdue a wear so I got it out again! Paired it simply with the black thrifted maxi skirt and my classic dark blue denim jacket, and again the Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. This was such a comfortable outfit for running around a lot and also working from home most of the day.

Did the school drop off in the morning and wished I'd added a scarf, but by school pickup time I'd taken off the denim jacket as it was too warm! Took my son to his first in-person specialist appointment since iso! While restrictions had been lifted a few weeks before, some sniffles kept us away from the office and continuing to do our fortnightly session via telehealth. It was so good to be able to go into the office again! Face to face is much more entertaining for a 4 year old than a zoom call, although I'm glad we had those sessions to fall back on over Iso. The benefits of technology!


Last worn: denim jacket, embellished grey knit, black maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag (above).

  3. I'd definitely wear the second outfit, that's very me, although I take your point about overheating with a jacket so I'd take a scarf with me to swap out :) Beautifully stylish as always, thank you for sharing your outfits! Lisa

  4. Your winters seem much like our falls. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if our winters were like yours. I'm fine with the frigid temps and snow around the holiday season, but after that, I'm over it, lol! Anyway, these outfits are really cute. I love that you decided to wear that sparkly sweater, as I think it looks very cute with the skirt and layered under the denim; it dresses it down really nicely. I love pieces like that. You can get double wear by dressing up or down. I hope your son's cold is better!

  25. I love the blues paired with ochre in your first outfit. The biker jacket is such a great alternative for a denim jacket. It looks utterly cosy for a walk on a Winter's day too! That said, I am a big fan of denim jackets too. Mine certainly is a wardrobe staple! Also, that beaded top in your second outfit is gorgeous! Hope your week went off to a good start! xxx

  40. Great outfits, both of them. The first one looks warm and cozy, I imagine you found it perfect for a windy day. That skirt comes in such a nice colour. It looks very voluminous. The second styling is very cute as well. I do agree that technology has its benefits but nothing can replace face to face contact. Still, technology can be sooo helpful!

  58. These outfits are both so cute. I love the bright orange skirt and the second outfit looks so classy and chic. Adding the denim jacket really gives it a casual and comfy vibe. We are still quite warm here, although this morning there is a beautiful breeze. Hope you are doing well. - Amy
