Maxi Skirts And Denim Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing two recent outfits I wore for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, layering up my maxi skirts a little to make them more suitable for the autumn weather with a couple of denim jackets. I accessorised both outfits with my little Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag, despite the differences in the colours in both outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

It was quite a chilly morning so I was pleased when the day warmed up a bit - I'd been regretting the decision not to wear a scarf on the school run, but thankfully it was a bit warmer at school pickup in the afternoon! Was a nice quiet day - the usual school run with the kids and working from home. I felt it was time to give one of my maxi skirts another wear, I'd worn a lot of jeans over autumn! But before winter set in it was good to get another skirt out. The denim jacket was a nice layer for it, particularly after the day warmed up!

Like the black space dye tee, the ochre maxi skirt was an opshop find too. They pair so nicely together I'm surprised I hadn't worn them together before! And with the white print on the tee I knew the white denim jacket would be the perfect topper. The Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag doesn't match anything in the outfit but I like blue with orange and I feel this shade of blue goes with everything!


Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, space dye tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and little black dress, space dye tee and printed jeans, ochre maxi skirt and band tee, white Converse and midi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a really windy day! I had such a hard time trying to get a photo of my outfit in the morning - and I have quite a few outtakes of me dashing towards the camera when a big gust of wind came just as I pressed the button to snap a pic, worried my tripod was going to fall over! Despite the wind it wasn't really that cold though. The scarf was a necessity to keep me cosy, but I didn't need any more layers than that and the denim jacket.

Again the kids had school and I had to work from home, with a quick doctor's appointment in the morning. My doctor was wearing a maxi skirt as well! Unlike the outfit above, there's a bit of blue in this outfit with the blueish grey of the tunic tee and the blue moto denim jacket. I thought the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag, while not a perfect match for any of the blue tones, was a great accessory with this and of course it could fit my current library book read to pass the time in the waiting room!


Last worn: moto denim jacket, pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf, grey tunic, black maxi skirt, Adidas superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and jeans, pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf and chambray dress, grey tunic and culottes, black maxi skirt and pink tee, Adidas superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts can work in autumn before it gets too cold! Layer them up a little with a denim jacket, and add a scarf if it's a much cooler day.
