Shorts, Cardigan, And Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote Bag

Recently in Brisbane we were so lucky to get two public holiday Mondays in a row, one after the other! Sharing a couple of my outfits from those Autumn long weekends, enjoying the outdoors with the kids and wearing cardigan and shorts combos.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Unfortunately, on this long weekend, it rained for two of the three days. When Monday brought clear skies we knew we had to get the kids out the house, so went to our favourite park for a bike and scooter ride, and then a play in the playground afterwards.

I wasn't sure if it was going to warm up much, so I added the cosy navy waterfall cardigan over the striped tee and olive shorts outfit to combat the morning chill. I really didn't need to though, it was such a warm and sunny day I ended up taking it off part way through our ride!

With the navy stripes on the tee, the navy and gold necklace seemed like another way to play up the matchy-matchy along with the navy cardigan. I really like navy and olive together, it looks so good with the olive embroidered shorts.

Wore the New Balance sneakers to provide support for my sore knee as we went around the trail - and the big Louis Vuitton Neverfull as it fit all our water bottles and some snacks for after the ride too!

Last worn: blue waterfall cardigan, navy and gold bead necklace, navy stripe tee, olive embroidered shorts, New balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote.

Other ways to wear: blue waterfall cardigan worn belted, navy stripe tee worn two ways, olive embroidered shorts and kimono, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote in third trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Making the most of another long weekend, we headed out with my family and the kids to check out a local bush trail. My parents had visited before and my Mum warned me I'd need support for my knee - however I forgot my knee brace, realised when we were already driving there and figured I'd be fine, I'd take the trail slow and I was wearing my supportive sneakers. Really should have turned back for the knee brace though, it was an unpaved and hilly trail so I suffered for a bit after it. So worth it though, such a beautiful trail and the kids had a blast clambering up and around some of the rocks!

Again I added a cardigan over my shorts outfit - this one was just a thin knit as I wasn't sure what the day had in store, it had been another cool autumn morning. Just like the day above though, it warmed up and I took the cardigan off for the second half of the trail. I thought the purple was such a nice topper over the monochromatic turquoise tank and navy culotte shorts outfit, and it did keep me warm before the sun peeked out from behind the clouds!

Again, I wore the Neverfull tote bag. Perfect for snacks, water bottles, and my camera for taking pics on the trail. Forgot to charge my camera though so the battery ran out quickly sadly!


Last worn: earrings, purple cocoon cardigan, crescent necklace, turquoise tank, navy stripe culotte shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: purple cocoon cardigan and maxi dress, turquoise tank and maxi skirt, navy stripe culotte shorts with orange, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull and sheath dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cocoon cardigan and hidden baby bump, Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull at 38 weeks.

How You Can Wear It:

Simple shorts and tee, or shorts and tank outfits can still be worn into autumn in Brisbane! To combat the chilly autumn mornings, a light knitted cardigan is a great layer - and it can easily be stashed into a tote bag for later when the day warms up.
