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:

sass bide black printed skinny jeans with pink tee purple cardigan and neutral small chloe ethel bag | away from blue

pink and purple with Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromtheblue


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
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe 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!


Last worn: waterfall cardigan, beaded necklace, pink tee, chevron print jeans, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Unboxing: Chloe Ethel Handbag






What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagChloe 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!



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!

  6. Ooh I love those leopard jeans! I'm not usually a fan of leopard print but those are just gorgeous.

  7. The leopard jeans look so pretty! If you didn't state they were jeans, I'd thought they were leggings. Looked so cozy! I'm glad you knew right away that Cooper ate the dark choc from the marks on the wrapper. It's nice that the vets there are open during the lockdown. We're still having some type of lockdown here with a lot of daily cases. I'm not sure what's happening anymore but I'm glad the parks are open. LOL. I just keep a lot of distance and walk in spots with no people passing. Wishing you a lovely week ahead xoxo

    1. I hope your lockdown gets lifted soon and things get safer for you! We are lucky here, the vaccines we should have got earlier are starting to arrive so hopefully lockdowns will be a thing of the past!

  8. Oh these are some cool outfits! I especially love that first one: what a cool contrast in color.

  9. Oh, no, Cooper! What a naughty boy, getting into the chocolate! And to have an operation (are these things related, or separate incidents?) too - that must be so stressful for all of you! He must be getting up there in age for a Shi-Tzu?

    Love your bright and bold outfits here, Mica! That pink and purple are just awesome. I am not sure that bag is the right colour for the outfits...but it's an awesome bag, and I love the gold hardware.

    Have a good weekend, my dear! Big hugs to you. I hope your lockdown is over soon.

    1. Unfortunately two unrelated incidents! Poor pup has had a really bad time of it lately! Thank goodness it seems to be over for now. I think a darker bag would have looked nice in both these outfits too :)

  11. Oh no, Mica, I literally held my breath upon reading about Cooper's chocolate mishap! So glad you were able to get to the emergency vet on time!
    On another note, I am absolutely loving your first outfit and I totally get that this is your favourite outfit with those chevron patterned jeans. The pops of pink and purple are delightful with it! xxx

    Our kitty has some kind of "bump" on her leg we just noticed, and might have to have something done about it.

  19. Printed jeans are so cute! I can't wear them though since they tend to highlight every problem area that I have on my legs. I think you look super adorable in yours though, so I'll live vicariously through you LOL.

    Have a wonderful weekend, my friend!

  22. Hello Mica, I hope you had a lovely week.

    First of all I hope Cooper can get better, happy to read that you're making a great effort to take care of your little dog :)

    And great options, even tho you're in lockdown and with some restrictions, it is really important to boost our mood with happy clothes (or with the clothes that can make you happy)). It is really necessary specially in times like these.... Those printed jeans are amazing, they could work with many colors as your proposals and even with a white t-shirt :)

    Stay safe!

  26. I'm sooo glad Cooper is okay! I have a shih tzu/ Yorkshire terrier cross and being vegan, most of my chocolate is dark, and it's one of my biggest worries that he gets his little paws into some one day. You always stress about the little ones x

  39. The jacket in boysenberry is pretty. I've always liked this color in fashion, especially in the Autumn and Winter months. So glad you had a nice time out with friends last night. Sometimes we need to that. I'm sorry you're getting the smoky skies too in the Summers. It seems that we are getting these fires every Summer.

    Have a peaceful and restful Sunday. It's starting to be my favorite day of the week. No bills, no schedules, just peace. : )

  45. Bright color combinations can indeed be such mood boosters. Good to hear that Cooper came out of his operation and the chocolate incident feeling fine. It sounds like you had a bit of a scare there.
