Jeans, Colourful Cardigans and Peplum Tops

Adding extra colour to some peplum top and jeans outfits with cosy bright cardigans for autumn days back in May.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

I felt it had been a while since I'd last worn this awesome bird print peplum tank, and it was definitely due another wear, before the weather cools off too much and I stop wearing sleeveless tops like this as often. I thought this day was perfect for it, with the school run, volunteering in my son's classroom and working from home before a quick few errands before school pick up in the afternoon, and more errands and a library visit afterwards. It was a warmer day than I expected though, and I found myself taking my cardigan off for school pick up, as all the running around was making me regret the choice to layer up!

I really liked the mustard cardigan with the navy blue tank, and all the darker neutrals in the rest of my outfit. The grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag is an old favourite and perfect for fitting everything in it for a busy day! The silver heart necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the silver hardware on the bag, even though I don't think it was the best choice for this outfit, I'd been in a rush that morning and didn't have time to try too many options. And these grey Nobody Denim jeans go with everything!

Wear and Tear: Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 

Why I wore it:

I deliberately picked bright pieces to add to this outfit! The space dye peplum tee was just different enough from the plain black Nobody denim skinny jeans for me to try the two together, but it all felt a bit muted. I added the blue Converse and turquoise beaded necklace for a little more colour. And the cosy red waterfall cardigan to ensure that my son didn't miss me in the crowd as I surprised him at his award ceremony at school.

This red waterfall cardigan is soo cosy though, and just like the day above, I regretted deciding to wear it a little in the afternoon and was overheating a bit in the hall, although I'd been perfectly cosy working from home. The day just heated up more than I expected! It did work for my son to spot me though, and the cardigan was easy to take off after, with the necklace and blue Converse shoes adding enough colour that I didn't feel too dull without the cardigan!


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, turquoise beaded necklace, space dye peplum tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM (above).

How You Can Wear It:

It's easy to add colour to a pair of dark grey or black jeans with a bright cardigan - and its a good way to layer up for cooler autumn mornings and evenings. A cardigan is easy to discard when the day warms up too, and folds up nicely into a big bag like the Rebecca Minkoff MAM.
