Sometimes I'm organised enough to plan outfits in advance, which is what I'd done here. However it was such cold and windy mornings the week I'd planned to wear these outfits I had the choice of saving them for another day or adding a scarf. Went with the last minute scarf addition to both outfits to give me that little extra warmth, rather than planning out all new outfits in the morning rushes to get out the door in time for school drop off!

What I wore:
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)
Why I wore it:
I've never tried to wear a scarf with this light long sleeve kimono before! I'd planned this outfit for a Monday during a very warm weekend afternoon so when I woke up to a cold and windy day I decided to give a scarf a try. I think this really worked, although the cosy scarf and light jacket do contradict a bit - the cobalt blue matches the leaves in the floral print so well I felt so happy wearing them together.I liked the colour combo of the blush bag with the magenta jacket too, and of course a white tee and black jeans go with everything!
Such a good outfit for the school run, working from home, and then school pick up in the afternoon.

Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Bag Review:
What I wore:
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy Silver foil print tree scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)
Why I wore it:
Despite the day being a lot windier than the one above, I was actually really warm in this outfit and took the scarf off after helping in my son's classroom in the morning. I had a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and all the last minute shopping and preparation for my son's party the next day. I think all the running around was what kept me warm, more than the outfit, as this long sleeved striped duster isn't the thickest material.Was the perfect outfit for a busy day though - I liked the extra colour from the blue scarf, and again this is a magenta and black outfit with the black and white stripes and magenta jeans. Just as in the first outfit, I thought the blush pink bag was a nice pairing with the brighter magenta pink. Again I wore my black Converse, as I had a lot of running around to do!
Last worn: striped maxi cardigan, white tee, magenta jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.
Other ways to wear: striped maxi cardigan and dress, white tee and printed jeans, magenta jeans and blazer, black Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren and sundress.
Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:
Jeans and a tee can still work in winter, just with a few extra layers like a long sleeved kimono or cardigan, and of course a big cosy scarf. A scarf is a great way to add more colour to your outfit too.

Great outfits and I especially love the blush bag!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute looks!
ReplyDeleteLove both of these cozy chic looks! The kimono and scarf mix is a great idea Mica. Thanks for the link up!

I've never tried it before but I need to try it more often, i really liked the two together!
DeleteThis is what I wear most summers - jeans and a tee with a light layer on top. The temperatures are just so different here.
ReplyDeleteYes it's much too hot to layer this much in summer here! I think the humidity make a difference too.
DeleteI never plan my outfits because often I don't want to wear it anymore in the morning! It's all about the mood I am in. Love the striped cardigan, looks great with almost everything.
ReplyDeleteI wish i had time in the mornings to do something like that, but it's so hectic trying to get everyone ready for school, planning in advance is how I manage that!
DeleteI haven't worn a scarf in ages and when I see someone wearing one, I wonder why not! I love them, especially in pretty colors. That first one is such a pretty shade of blie.
ReplyDeletexo,

I think it's brilliant that you just added the scarf instead of trying to recreate an outfit Mica. And you can't even tell that the jacket is lightweight as apposed to the scarf.
ReplyDeleteWonderful looks,
XOXO

Two adorable outfits, dear Mica! I love the jacket with the floral pattern in the first look and how you combined it with the blue scarf. Please excuse my long blog break.

Glad to see you back blogging again, you do not need to apologise!
DeleteYou always give me fall inspiration!

These are great colors on you! I love the deeper pink and blue combinations for autumn weather. I have my summer and winter clothes stored separately, so occasionally I find a fortunate match too, when the wardrobes collide during the seasonal change. Enjoy your week and thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful we build a wardrobe room so I could have all my clothes out year-round, it's nice to have the seasons together and try some new combinations like scarves and kimonos I wouldn't have thought of before!
DeleteScarves are perfect for layering and are so much easier to carry than jackets if you need to take them off! The mornings and evenings get chilly where I am, but it gets pretty hot in the middle of the day.
ReplyDeleteThankfully it's started warming up a bit more during the days here too, almost back to normal winter temperatures for June!
DeleteLove the jacket in the first outfit. Hope you have an amazing week.

I'm feeling Fourth of July vibes in these outfits, even though I know you're in Australia. Red, white, and blue are always striking! The floral kimono is especially fun and cute. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's magenta in each of these outfits :)
DeleteThe kimono jacket looks great.. such a gorgeous color. You styled both outfits so well.
ReplyDeleteBoth fabulous looks, Mica! I love the scarves as extra bits to be added or subtracted as needed. Wonderful use of colour here! Thanks so much for the link-party!
ReplyDeleteYes scarves are such a good way to add more colour! :)
DeleteI never plan out my outfits more than a day in advance. I can never count on the weather. At least the scarves kept you warm.
ReplyDeleteYes I've been surprised by the weather a few times, like with these outfits, haha! Thankfully the scarves helped :)
DeleteI can't get over how gorgeous that floral jacket is! Such a great piece. Love the scarf with it as well. Your outfits are absolutely fabulous and you always blend colours and prints together effortlessly. Love!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Thank you! that jacket is one of my favourites, I really need to wear it more often!
DeleteMe encanto el primer outfit, saludos:D
ReplyDeleteLovely color combo and you look great in both these looks. Your bag is cute!

Hey Mica, how you doing? I hope you're enjoying the autumn-winter season! Here the heat arrived too early and I feel like I want September to arrive to wear my jackets again jeje.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are always keeping your outfits colorful. Sometimes I can plan my outfits in advance too, specially for cool occassions, but that doesn't happen all the time haha. I love that you used a colorful scarf as a last minute resource ;)

I miss the heat, it's good you get to enjoy it! We plunged straight into very cold winter days which was a bit unexpected!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI also like to have posts made in advanced, I always have about 5 or 6!! I liked the colors of your first look better, as you know I'm not a big fan of navy blue, but I know you really like the color and it goes very well with the color of your eyes!
Thank you for inviting me to link up, I'm always happy to participate!

I am not that organised, I have been struggling to get posts together, but I do like trying to plan outfits in advance as it makes the morning rush trying to get everyone ready for school easier, haha!
DeleteI'm in NYC this week and it's a little chilly for summer. Loving these light layers—they'd be perfect here right now!

ReplyDeleteNice outfits 😍!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how the maroon in your jacket looks paired with your blush bag! Great color combo!
ReplyDeleteThat pale pink Minkoff bag is stunning and really pops with your dark dusters!
ReplyDeleteIt goes with so much - such a great shade of pink!
DeleteThanks all for your kind comments - and for linking up :)
