Jeans, Leather Jackets and Colourful Knits With Balenciaga Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Back in July, winter had truly arrived in Brisbane and the coldest morning in years had us all shivering, and me reaching for all the cosy layers! A leather jacket is a winter staple, as is a good knit. These thin marl knits are perfect for layering under to stay cosy, and they are cute and colourful too!

BagBalenciaga first bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I thought a necklace was a nicer fit for this outfit than a scarf - the chevron print of the jeans can be tricky to wear prints with. With it being just 15 degrees (Celsius) on the way to drop my son off at school though I really regretted not adding a scarf to this! It was thankfully a day we didn't have to be outside too much for, with indoor sports for the little one after school drop off and then sports again for both kids in the evening after school pickup. By then I had added a scarf to my outfit though, such a chilly night!

Surprisingly I haven't worn this mustard marl knit with the chevron print jeans before! I thought it was a nice combo, and even with a layer on under the knit the looser fit of this leather jacket means it accommodated the knit nicely. With the black jacket and black jeans I really liked the added black with the necklace - this one hasn't been worn in so long, it was definitely overdue a wear!

The fun turquoise Balenciaga bag was a great pop with the black and mustard too, a nice way to add just a little more colour to my outfit.

Why I wore it:

This outfit was even more colourful than the one above with the bright jeans and knit. And this time around, I learnt my lesson and wore a scarf!

Again I wore another thin marl knit - this cobalt blue one looks great with the magenta jeans, I really like blues with these jeans! And the geometric print tassel scarf seemed like a nice match with the cobalt. The black leather jacket has some blue and grey floral print on it too, but I think it's so subtle the prints work well together. Went even more colourful with the big purple Balenciaga work bag. It wasn't a day I had to carry around a lot with me for - a couple errands, the school run and a vet visit again for Cooper. I just felt like carrying this big bag again as I love it and it's so rarely worn nowadays. It used to be a staple for working in the office, back before we had the hybrid ways of working that mean we mostly work from home now!

How You Can Wear It:

Picking some colourful knits can make cold weather dressing more cheerful - even if you do layer them with darker neutrals like the black leather jackets. You can let the knit be a pop of colour like the first outfit, or pair it with colourful jeans and a scarf like in the second outfit.

  3. Dear Mica, you know, I love your dresses and skirts outfits a lot, but these chevron printed jeans are also awesome. The mustard marl knit and the leather jacket are the perfect combo. You look very pretty in the second outfit too. I especially love the color of the bright jeans and the scarf.
    Have a nice week!

  13. That first outfit is SO COOL. The moto jacket with the print on the jeans and that mustard coloured top is just so perfect. I love that this is an edgy look that is still really wearable. You look amazing! And yes, sometimes it is just nice to have a big bag on hand to carry everything!

  16. I love both of these outfits, Mica! I can see where the chevron jeans would be a bit tricky to style, but they are really cool. And the brightness of the second outfit is awesome.

  18. I'm loving these thin marl knit jumpers of yours, although they wouldn't do for our Winters here. 15°C sounds quite alright to me!
    My favourite of the two outfits here is the first one. The mustard jumper looks fabulous with those chevron print skinnies and the addition of the black leather jacket and the necklace is giving it some edge! Wishing you a great week ahead Mica! xxx

  21. Your first outfit really appeals to me, Mica, but I can't help wishing those patterned jeans were wider legs to help balance the top half. I love the rock & roll vibe.

    The colours in the second outfit are fabulous - I am not sure about the scarf, though. All that white is distracting from the rest of the look. However, you do look awesome. :)

    Sending good vibes for wee Cooper.

  28. Mica,

    Just today I found several leather jackets at a couple of my local thrift stores. Even though I'm going sell most of them, I'm keeping one or two so this post of yours is very timely with its styling inspirations. I really like how you brought in bold colors as a bright offset against the black leather. I'm going to make note to remember that when it comes time for me to wear my jackets.

  31. Hey Mica, I hope you're having a lovely week!

    I envy you, I miss my leather jackets and coats when it is summertime and I can't wait to wear them once again. I think both looks are really interesting since you add the perfect accessories and the extra touch of a vibrant color.

    15 degrees sounds really nice, i bet it is not that hard but you can still add some layers to your outfits and stay comfortable. I loved your Balenciaga collection by the way, you have such a good taste when it comes to pick bags :)
