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:

mustard cardigan with navy bird print tank grey nobody denim jeans MAM bag | awayfromblue

rebecca minkoff soft grey MAB mini bag worn on arm | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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:

black tee and jeans together with blue accessories and bright red cardigan MAM bag | awayfromblue

red waterfall cardigan with grey rebecca minkoff mam mini mab bag | awayfromtheblue



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
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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!

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.

  2. That bird print peplum top is such a beautiful choice and I love the mustard cardigan over top. The colours look gorgeous together. Love that colourful cardigan in the second look, though it is too bad it became really hot later on. It definitely added a nice pop of colour! I hope you have a wonderful weekend <3

    1. It's a good combination before the days get too cold, extend the wear of the sleeveless pieces a little!

  5. Ooh, I love a peplum top, they're so flattering, aren't they? I'm particularly loving the one you are wearing in your first outfit. The pattern is delightful and I'm loving the contrast with the mustard yellow cardigan. Have a great weekend Mica! xx

  6. These are both SUCH pretty outfits, Mica! I love the colour that the long cardis add to them, especially that AMAZING orange-y/red one. Better to have a cardi and not need it than to be needing one and not have it!

    Have a fantastic weekend, my dear friend!

  14. Love your MAB! I recognized it immediately, well, almost (I’m not great at telling MABs and MAMs apart!)! My introduction to Rebecca Minkoff was my bffl getting a black MAB with a blue contrast zipper circa 2011!

    1. Honestly the MAM and MAB are so close size-wise I wouldn't know the difference if I hadn't been the first owner of this with all the tags, haha! It is an awesome first RM!

  15. Navy blue and yellow are such a great color combo - love seeing them paired together.

  16. You always have such cute outfits. I especially like the first one with the blue top and the yellow sweater.... but then the second one is way cute too. I need you to come to my closet and pick my outfits.

  17. I really like how you layered cardigans over the peplum tops Mica. I know many women feel like they can't do anything with the peplum detail, yet it can work with almost anything.

  21. You styled both your outfits so beautifully Mica. The red color is so bright and pretty. I find it difficult to style a peplum top but now I have an idea. :-)
