What I wore:
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
I really liked this outfit! Taking full advantage of this cosy knitted poncho, I didn't need to wear a scarf in that winter morning, so I chose this little turquoise and gold beaded necklace. While it's lighter than the almost teal turquoise of the Balenciaga First bag, I really liked the two together, and loved the colour they added to the deep burgundy (almost purple) tee. The grey Nobody Denim jeans were a sale find last year and they really should be worn more, such a nice wash that goes with everything!Comfy sneakers for a quiet day with working from home and the school run. I thought that these white Stan Smiths went nicely with the white pattern on the knit. Such a comfortable outfit, I really liked this.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the outfit above so much, I planned to wear an outfit with a similar formula a few days later. With burgundy jeans this time, a black tee, and a grey cardigan. Again I went with the little Balenciaga bag which I think goes so well with this outfit.The day was a lot colder than I expected though, and so I ended up changing the black scoop neck tee that I'd planned to wear out with this crew neck peplum tee, and added a scarf. As these were last minute changes before rushing out the door to get the kids to school I'm really not sure all the pieces worked as well together as the pieces in the outfit above did. I felt maybe a plain black tee like I'd planned would have been better with the skull print scarf. Although I liked the colours in this outfit, definitely felt more comfortable in the first one. Luckily it was another similar day, with the school run, working from home and then a little errand in the afternoon, so it was quite quiet.

How You Can Wear It:
Jeans and a tee is always a staple, and adding a little burgundy with the grey and black neutrals is a nice way to add some more colour to your outfit. A little colourful bag is an extra pop too!
Pretty outfit for the school runs. I'm normal in my workout clothes when I drop baby girl off at school.

I don't do any formal exercise, just running around with the kids, so my athleisure wear is very neglected, haha!
DeleteThat first outfit's ruanna is lovely (I didn't know Minkoff made clothing!). The scarf in the 2nd outfit (yay, McQueen!) reads as navy/burgundy so I think all the colours actually work really well together, but I know how discombobulating a last-minute change (or two!) can make you feel about an outfit. The warm burgundy/reds in the 2nd look are really lovely, Mica! Woo, almost the weekend! Have a good one, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYes! Sadly I can only order the clothing online so I haven't been brave enough to try too many pieces, but this knit was a safe bet, one size fits all, and so cosy! :)
DeleteI love the burgundy and turquoise together! What a great color combination!
ReplyDeleteLook very good :)
ReplyDeleteYour favourite is mine too, Mica! That first outfit is gorgeous and works really well. Never mind the beads being a lighter turquoise than that lovely bag. I think the burgundy and turquoise together are stunning! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes I really need to wear burgundy and turquoise together more often!
DeleteAme el primer outfit, el kimono es hermoso, saludos:D
ReplyDeleteThat pesky weather. Didn't it know you'd already planned your outfit? Very rude. ;)
ReplyDeletehaha so true!
DeleteBoth looks are fantastic! I just adore that red and black skull print scarf. That is SUCH a cool piece. It's hard when you have a different outfit planned, but then the weather forces you to switch things up...but I love the way the second look turned out!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Thanks! I might have to give the original one I had planned a go - I think it would have worked out better for sure.
DeleteBoth these looks are wonderful. The ruana poncho is beautiful.

It's funny how sometimes the outfits don't look like we think they would when we put them together. I sometimes end up changing shirts several times before being satisfied. Or I like it until I take a picture and realize it isn't what I hoped the look would be. I really like the colors in the 2nd one but I agree that maybe a black tee would be a better contrast.

I end up taking pics before I go out the door so no time to review them or make last minute outfit changes sadly, haha! Always feel like the mornings are hectic trying to get everything ready for school!
DeleteEvery time you wear that skull scarf I remember how much I love it. It is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIt really is a fun print, I love the ones I have even as the trend gets older and older, haha!
DeleteThe burgundy + turquoise combination has me thinking!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute looks Mica! I love the skull scarf and the color combos.
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits looks so cozy, edgy and fun. I love your knitted poncho! It's always nice to have quiet days and the fact that you did is a plus! The skull scarf is such a fun scarf to wear and I'm really finding it to be super eye-catching. Hoping you will wear it again in another outfit ;) We are having quite a rainy spell over here and your outfits are totally right for this weather :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a splendid weekend!
I love both your outfits Mica and the way you have styled them with perfection. The color combos and the accessories are just perfect :-)

You can't go wrong with burgundy and black! It's such a great combination. Your Balenciaga bag is the perfect pop of color! Love how unique it looks.

this necklace is everything. and one more kimono to lust over for me! the first look is so good I have a hard time remembering the other, sorry. and it always is a bummer when the weather turns to cold and messes up with your outfit plans
ReplyDeleteThe first one is definitely my favourite too :)
DeleteFantastic outfits, Mica. You always layer and accessorize so well. I really like that poncho. The cardigan is also very cute.
