Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags

In the very last days of April it finally started to feel a little bit like autumn in Brisbane, which meant I could get my jeans out again! Wore them with the classic striped tee and Converse combination. Pulled out my Balenciaga Day bags again too - both hadn't been worn yet this year, surprisingly!


What I wore:

Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans (opshop find)

Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete


Why I wore it:

Wanted a nice comfortable outfit for the usual school run and working from home routine. With it being a little cooler that morning, it was the perfect opportunity to get these jeans out! I found them at the opshop late last year, for just $1. Being my size I wasn't going to turn them down, and I was so happy when I tried them on and they fit like a glove! Although the style branding on it doesn't indicate that they are a cropped style I suspect they may have been hemmed, as they are a great length on my petite self! 

The tee was a $1 find from another opshop too - both pieces are perfect together. I think the faded black of the denim works nicely with the navy stripes on the tee, and I can't believe it's been so long since I last wore this Balenciaga day bag, it is a firm favourite. Even though I really didn't need to carry much as I was just working from home and only popped out for the school run, it was nice to get this big bag out again.


Last worn: Coca-Cola tee, Converse, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time it's been cool enough to wear these jeans I thrifted last year.

Other ways to wearCoca-Cola tee and orange skirt, Converse and floral dress, Balenciaga tempete day bag and maxi skirt.

Why I wore it:

A lazy long weekend meant falling back to that classic striped tee and skinny jeans combo again! I wore another navy and white striped tee - I do have quite a striped tee collection. While these charcoal jeans are a lot more grey than the skinnies in the first outfit, I again liked the navy stripes with the darker denim. I thought the magenta accessories with the Balenciaga day bag and matchy-matchy magenta and gold necklace were a fun pop against the neutrals in my outfit.

We had a couple of errands to run, but otherwise a very lazy day. Did stop into Kmart on the way home to pick up some organisation pieces - I've been inspired by watching The Home Edit on Netflix and Kmart have a good range of little clear containers like you see on the show. Howard's Storage World has the official The Home Edit range here in Australia, but my budget nowadays is more Kmart! 😂


Last worn: navy white striped tee, gold and marble necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Converse (above), Balenciaga magenta day bag.

How You Can Wear It:

You can't beat a striped tee and jeans! You can add a little extra colour with a big handbag like these Balenciaga day bags.

  3. Skinny jeans and striped tees are such a classic! Both outfits are perfect, although for some reason the second one speaks the most to me, perhaps due to the eye-catching colour of your bag! I can't get over your collection of Balenciaga bags, Mica! xxx

    1. Yes the $1 opshop finds are the best - I'm glad they were so affordable, as I couldn't try them on so was just hoping. They were a very lucky find, and they fit perfectly when I got them home!

  9. Good for you for wearing jeans to work from home--it's like leggings/joggers or bust for me, haha. (Although I've barely left the house all week, I'm just realizing. WHOOPS.) I can't believe you scored those jeans for $1! They look great and are such an awesome find!

  16. Hey Mica, I hope you're enjoying autumn season! How you doing?

    I love both looks since you included stripes in the two options! For me stripes are part of my basics and I like to have them in many colors, shapes, etc. They could easily spice up any outfit in a matter of seconds!

    For these options I prefer the first with the Coca Cola logo, it reminds me of the Andy Warhol art! And 1 dollar for each piece (jeans + tee) is such a good deal for all the use you can give them in the future!
