Printed Tops and Black Skinny Jeans With Yellow Bag

Pairing some classic black skinny jeans with my cheerful yellow mini 5-zip bag and some colourful printed tops for some cooler spring days recently in Brisbane.


What I wore:

Top: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

When Sheila sent me the beautiful bag she decorated she included a few pieces from her wardrobe she didn't want any more. I've already put a jacket to good use, and I decided to give this top a wear. It was a quiet day, helping in my son's classroom in the morning, the school run, working from home, and the library in the afternoon.

This is a silk top though and I found myself a bit worried a few times the day with messy kids (including my own) and the delicate silk, ha! I did so love wearing this though. The blue print I originally thought was leopard print is actually an abstract floral print, and it's so pretty with the print mixing stripes on the sleeves. I really liked the simplicity of the black jeans with this - I was definitely inspired from a previous way Sheila has worn this. One day I'll be brave enough to give print mixing a go!


Last worn: black Nobody Denim jeans, studded sandals, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent gift from Sheila.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals in second trimester.


What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

Trying yellow and orange again! I really like the combination, and just like the outfit above, the yellow bag pops against the black skinny jeans. I think the addition of this yellow bag helped stop the outfit looking too Halloween-ish with the orange leopard print and black jeans.

This was a really nice colourful jeans and tee outfit for a day of working from home and doing the school run. Every time I wear this tee I love it, I really should wear it more often!


Last worn: neon leopard print tee, pearl and tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:

Black skinny jeans can be a great outfit base for a colourful printed top and a bright bag, as they are a classic neutral.

    1. Yes I love a good printed piece - although I've been focusing more on buying solid coloured pieces lately, that work with the prints to let them shine!

  4. What a cute bag! Although it is absolutely perfect with both of your outfits here, I particularly love the blue/yellow combo of the first one. How sweet of Sheila to send you that gorgeous blouse! I hardly ever mixed patterns before I started blogging, but now I do with some guidance by my fellow bloggers. I'm absolutely certain you can do it too! xxx

  5. Mixing prints always takes me back to high school. The boys would do that with their shorts and tops. Not generally well done. I mean, it can be well done. But I don't trust myself to do it.

    1. That's why a top like the first one is great, print mixing built in!

  7. Woo! You look amazing in that blouse, Mica! I like the tassels worn long - I think I always tied them up in a bow. You should be able to hand-wash this - put the tassels in a plastic bag and elastic the heck out of it to seal hem inside. Cold water, a dab of shampoo, and press the water out and lay it flat to dry (pull the pleats on the shoulders into place).

    I love the mix of yellow with both of these looks - it really pops! I love seeing you get more adventurous!

    1. I have the right product for hand washing it, I just haven't gotten around to it yet, eek! I usually chuck all my clothing in a hand wash cycle in the machine, but this I'll need to be more careful with and actually hand wash! :)

  13. That silk top is lovely, but I would definitely be nervous about wearing it too. Now that I work from home and live in athleisure wear, "dry clean only" is not in my vocabulary anymore, ha!

    1. Haha yes, I have a silk skirt that hasn't been worn in a few years - gotta be super careful, and also got to have something exciting enough to do to justify wearing such pretty pieces - working from home being my life now too!
