Printed Jeans and Colourful Cardigans

Layering up some printed jeans for winter and adding a little colour with tonal tee and cardigan pairings. With all that colour I wore my latest neutral handbag purchase, the Chloe small Ethel in light khaki. Comfortable and colourful for some vet visits for Cooper. He's really been a frequent patient this year unfortunately!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This may be my favourite outfit ever with these Sass and Bide chevron print jeans. I've worn them with pink before, and with this purple cardigan before. The black Converse are a staple shoe choice with them. But this combination of all 3 pieces (and that great neutral Chloe Ethel bag) I really loved.

I wasn't sure at first if this pink tee would work with this purple cardigan but I thought if it did work it would be a nice tonal combo, and I'm so glad I gave this a wear! I'd planned the outfit the week before but it turned out to be the perfect thing to wear for another day in lockdown. Instead of the school run and some time at the playground as planned, it was taking Cooper to the vets for an operation and a brief visit to the doctors. The cheerful colours really helped boost my mood! Thankfully Cooper is home recovering well from his operation. I'm so glad the vets were still able to see him even in lockdown.

Pink and purple are a combination I've always enjoyed, and I've worn this pink tee with a different purple cardigan before, and this cardigan with other pink pieces, but this reminds me I need to try wearing the combination more!

Unboxing: Chloe Ethel Handbag

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 washed poolside blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This bright and colourful outfit was again planned in advance. I felt it had been a while since I had gotten these pink leopard print jeans out, and a quiet Friday before the lockdown with not much planned other than the school run seemed like a good time to give them another wear. With the bright pink I thought the neutral navy cardigan and pastel blue tee would be another good tonal combo. Like the pink and purple above, pink and blue is another combination I really enjoy wearing. The Converse were another way to add even more blue to this outfit. And again, a good neutral bag with all that colour, the small Chloe Ethel.

After snoozing my alarm a couple time I finally got up and ready for the day and came downstairs to find the wrapper for a bar of chocolate on the floor, all torn open. Not the best start to the day when I picked it up confused and noticed the bite marks on it - Cooper had at some point in the night helped himself to a bar of dark chocolate. One panicked call to the emergency vet later, and a few tears when she ran the calculations for a tiny Shih Tzu of his weight and the amount of (toxic to dogs) dark chocolate he consumed, we rushed him off so they could remove it from his stomach. 

Thankfully he lived to tell the tale, and oddly enjoyed his charcoal medicated food for a few days. And all chocolate is now out of his reach! It seems like an bizarrely upbeat and cheerful outfit for such a stressful day, but I had no idea what I was going to stumble across that morning. Thank goodness he did leave the wrapper in such an obvious place and this had a happy ending!

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue v-neck tee, gold and navy beaded necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, blue v-neck tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans with black, Converse and tee dress, Chloe small Ethel bag with black and red.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed jeans look great with basic block colour pieces like tees and cardigans. An ideal way to layer up in winter is to pick tonal colours from the same family for a monochromatic outfit that works with any print!
