Ombre Knits With Olive And Blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren Bag

Again with the winter knits! While I wore these outfits in autumn it was starting to get pretty cool as we got closer to the start of June and the official start of winter in Brisbane, so definitely time to get my winter knits out! Wearing an old ombre favourite and a new one I scored from my sister's wardrobe clear out, both with olive and blush.


What I wore:

ombre knit and olive skinny jeans with blush pink accessories and Darren messenger bag | awayfromblue

olive jeans and Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)


Why I wore it:

This was a really windy day so I wanted to layer up. While this is a thin open knit, because it's so open I always wear something under it too like a tee or tank, and that helps keep me warm. My son was being honoured at school and I was working from home, so I took a late lunch to go watch the ceremony.

I was surprised I hadn't worn this brown toned ombre knit with the olive skinny jeans before, they seem like such a good neutral pairing! I was worried the outfit was a bit too pale with all these neutrals, so added the blush tassel necklace and Rebecca Minkoff small Darren bag for a little extra colour. Plus the bag fits my camera for taking photos of my son during the ceremony.

Unfortunately though I think that another colour would have been better to accessorise with here. Not the worst outfit, and one that was perfectly comfortable and practical for a day of working from home and spending some time at school, but I just don't think the blush Darren bag was enough of a pop here.


Last worn: brown ombre knit, blush tassel necklace, olive skinny jeans, white Converse, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Review:






What I wore:

blue ombre stripe knit with olive shorts outfit with blush peony pink rebecca minkoff darren small messenger bag | awayfromblue

blue ombre knit with olive shorts and Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Knit: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)


Why I wore it:

This is a much more colourful outfit! I think this blue knit works well with the olive shorts - and while I kept the same bag, the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren, I think it is better with this outfit because of the blue knit bringing more colour. I do like blush and olive together, I just need something extra for a bit more brightness in an outfit!

A cosy knit and soft shorts is an outfit formula I love to wear but I really need to take advantage of the weather to wear it when I can, before it gets too cold and wintery here! I shared a similar outfit previously, wanting to squeeze in some more wears from these cute shorts before bare leg season is over! The only downside for me with this outfit was the necklace - I thought it would be nice with the blue knit but it kind of gets a bit lost there - it wasn't really an outfit that needed a necklace with the ombre stripes, would have been better without it I think.

Had a busy day with the school run, errands and a trip to the playground and library with the little one. As I'd aggravated my knee injury I needed a little extra support - ended up needing to wear my knee brace when we got to the playground as too much driving can be really painful without it.


Last worn: navy bead and gold tassel necklaceblue ombre stripe knit, olive soft shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff blush Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: ombre knit and jeansolive soft shorts and floral kimono, New Balance sneakers and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff blush Darren bag and pink dress.


How You Can Wear It:

Olive is a staple neutral - and a good way to introduce green into your wardrobe if you don't have much of it already! These neutral olive shorts and skinny jeans work well with textured patterned tops like the ombre knits, and blush pink is always a good idea to accessorise with olive too!

  5. Hello Mica, I hope you're having a nice week!

    I love the ombre effect, it is nothing that you commonly see on sweaters or knitwear, so it is nice to see that effect in this textile. Here we are starting summer so I envy you, my favorite season is when I am able to wear my knitwear :)

    Obviously the touch of pastel is perfect to balance the outfit, it looks good anyway but the accessory is like the cherry on top for both proposals!

    Have a lovely weekend and enjoy winter! Gonna check the other post of the week!

  7. I hope your knee is feeling better soon, repetitive injuries are such a pain - and you've got a pretty great collection of knits going (I love that top grey ombre one).

  13. I love the ombre sweater. What happened to your knee? Did I miss something?

    1. I have a dodgy knee after injuring it as a kid - whenever I have an accident it aggravates the knee injury again, haha. I can't be as gentle with it to help it recover each time as I'd like to as a mum, all the running around with the kids, so every now and then I overdo it and it flares up again.

  15. I love the ombre sweater paired with the olive jeans. It looks like a great autumn outfit! And the bag is too cute. I love the color!

  16. Although both jumpers are lovely, my favourite is the blue one. It's such a gorgeous colour and contrasts wonderfully with the olive shorts. The blush pink bag works best with that outfit too. Sorry to hear you've aggravated your knee again. Injuries like that do take a long time to heal! Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead, Mica xxx

    1. thank you - it's slow going but it is a lot better than it used to be!

  17. I love your use of ombre jumpers in these outfits, Mica! I like the pale blush pink as the bit of colour in the first outfit, but I agree that a deeper, more saturated pink might have contrasted better. In the second outfit, I think a pair of bold earrings might have been more effective than the necklace, which kind of feels like an afterthought here. They're still great outfits, though!

    Sorry to hear you tweaked your knee! Take care of that! Congrats on your son's school honour! :) That's awesome! Have a wonderful weekend, sweetheart!

    1. I attempted a hike I knew I'd need my knee brace for without my knee brace (left it at home by accident) and so I was in pain for a few days afterwards and driving was impossible without that extra support. It's better now :)
