Jewel Tones Blouses With Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Some business casual outfits with jewel toned blouses and skinny jeans for today's Weekday Wear Link up! Getting out an old office bag for another spin too, the Mulberry oak Bayswater.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace

Top: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather

Why I wore it:

I didn't wear this to the office, but it's something I totally would wear to work! As well as working from home and doing the school run I had an appointment that afternoon I was a little concerned about, so tried a version of power dressing. If I hadn't fallen down the stairs and twisted my ankle the day before, I would have pulled out a pair of confidence boosting heels too! I settled for more comfortable and practical ballet flats.

I thought the formal trench and classic black jeans, with a pretty berry blouse and the Bayswater tote looked like I meant business, to help me get into the right mindset for the appointment. The tote fit a notebook as well for the session, which didn't go as badly as I had feared! Even though it was warmer in the afternoon and I ended up leaving the jacket behind, I still felt very pulled together in this outfit.

Other ways to wear: navy trench and pencil skirt, berry blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, black ballet flats and dress, Mulberry Bayswater tote in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ballet flats in third trimester, Mulberry Bayswater tote in second trimester.

Mulberry Bayswater Wear & Tear:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace and Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Blouse: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather

Why I wore it:

This outfit does not translate as well in the photos as I felt wearing it! It's full of pieces I love, my favourite black skinny jeans, this navy studded blouse, and the fun jacquard jacket. Added the Adidas Superstar sneakers as I needed something comfortable for all the walking around - working in the office I get in much more steps than I do working from home! We did all go out and get something for lunch to bring back to the office and eat together too that involved a little walking.

As I'd used the Mulberry Bayswater tote in the outfit above, I figured it would be a good bag to take into the office. I did worry when I threw it on my shoulder that maybe with the silver jacket another bag would have worked better, but it's not that bad.

The jeans and blouse definitely look much too similar together though. I think if I'd gone with black jeans or grey jeans it would have been much better than this navy blouse with the faded black denim. I didn't feel that when wearing it, just when looking at these photos afterwards, so maybe just my poor photography skills!


Last worn: jacquard jacket, navy blouse, diamond necklace, Tiffany heart necklace, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mulberry Bayswater tote (above).

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and little black dress, navy blouse and pencil skirt, faded black jeans and double denim, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Mulberry Bayswater tote and wrap dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: jacquard jacket in second trimester, Mulberry Bayswater tote in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Pretty jewel toned blouses are a nice top to wear with skinny jeans. Just make sure you have enough contrast between the colour of the blouse and denim, unlike my second outfit!
