What I wore:
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
I really liked this outfit! My favourite thrifted $1 faded black jeans, black cardigan and black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers were great basics to start with in my outfit and let me add more colour. While there is no pink in the tartan scarf, and the shades of blue are different from the little Balenciaga first bag, I thought all these colours went so nicely together.
The scarf was needed on a cold morning too, and at sports later in the evening! I had a couple quick errands to run after school drop off, before working from home and then picking the kids up at school in the afternoon.
Last worn: black cardigan, pink tee, tartan scarf, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.
Other ways to wear: black cardigan and shorts, pink tee knotted over dress, tartan scarf and stripes, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and shorts.
Perfect for pregnancy: black cardigan and hidden second trimester bump, tartan scarf in first trimester.
Balenciaga First Review and What's In My Bag:
What I wore:
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
Just like last time I wore this cosy knitted kimono I paired it with a pink tee again! A brighter pink tee this time, but almost exactly the same as the last time I wore this knit, as I wore it with black jeans then too! It was the perfect thing to wear when all I had to do was working from home, and the school run. It's so warm and cosy, like a blanket!While the pink tee adds a lot of colour to the black and white outfit, the turquoise Balenciaga first bag adds an extra pop I really enjoyed - it looks so good with both pink and black! Plus it had everything in it from when I'd worn it above, and meant I didn't need the hassle of switching over my bag while also making sure the kids got to school on time!
Last worn: knitted poncho, pink tee, navy tassel necklace, black Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Balenciaga turquoise first bag (above).
Other ways to wear: knitted poncho and shorts, pink tee and maxi skirt, black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and blue dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:
Pink tees look great with neutral black layers in winter - and you can't beat a classic jeans and tee outfit! A bright bag like this Balenciaga first bag is a nice way to add even more colour to winter layers too.

Have a great week, Mica!
ReplyDeleteI am loving that colorful scarf with the first outfit. I sometimes miss my Addidas but my Walmart sneakers have been a good replacement.

I have been loving these - such good thrift finds - and I could definitely see me adding more to my collection, they are super comfortable and supportive for my weak knee :)
DeleteI can't believe those jeans were $1. That is crazy! They look fabulous on you and can definitely be worn lots of different ways. I love that kimono with the pink shirt. Such a great combination! I hope you have a wonderful week <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Yes I got so lucky thrifting them - such a good find!
DeleteI adore the first outfit with the colorful scarf! The bag is beautiful with both looks.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving both of these cozy outfits, Mica! The mix of blues and pink in your first outfit is gorgeous, and I'm once again admiring that amazing poncho worn in your second outfit! I'm actually on the lookout for something similar for the Autumn and Winter ahead! xxx
ReplyDeleteHope you can find something! this one is so cosy it's just a shame I don't wear it so often as the winter days don't always get cold enough here!
DeleteThose pants are a winner. I love the pop of pink with them in the first set.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a classic pair of black jeans - that's why I have so many pairs, haha!
DeleteSo chic!! Coveting that bag, so gorgeous!

Love this classic pink and black color combination, and your poncho is such a fabulous cool weather piece! Hope you have a good week and thanks for hosting the link up!
ReplyDeleteThat kimono with the pink looks so good, Mica! Such a great colour combo:) And I so want that tartan scarf. I really wish I can weave so I can just make tartan scarves all the time:D They're such a great staple.
ReplyDeleteIt would be such a fun skill to have! I have another tartan scarf but haven't worn it yet, I should try to before winter is over!
DeleteEvery week I hop over to read your beautiful blog and try to link up but I can't. Not sure if I'm the only one getting this glitch?
ReplyDeleteso sorry you can't link up :( Maybe try a different browser? Seems other people can link up thankfully!
DeleteI just love how the turquoise is such a contrast to that black and orange look Mica,

I never realized that pink and turquoise was such a cool color combination and I like how both looks are fun and colorful with the first one being a little more classic and the second one has a touch of boho chic. Hope the new week is off to a great start for you!
ReplyDeletethey are such lovely colours together!
DeleteLoving the pops of pink in your outfits. Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteI would love to go through your closest. I bet you have the most exotic bags.

What a stunning pink tee on you! I think it's one of the best color to wear for you as it really brings out your beautiful complexion along with your hair color. Both outfits are as always stylish but I'm a fan of that tee on you! <3
ReplyDeleteBoth your outfits look amazing. The bright colored scarf looks fabulous with the black. That bag adds so much to the whole look. Love it :-)
