Matching Tees To Cover Ups With Dark Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some simple jeans and tee outfits with some recently thrifted cover ups and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag to add a little more colour.


What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Since I thrifted the navy flat necklace and the zig zag print cover up together, I knew I'd end up wearing them together, the navy shades match perfectly! Just like last time I wore this cover up, I tried a little turquoise bag to make the turquoise in the print pop out a bit more. Once again, it didn't really seem to work. I did love how well the pink tee went with the coral in the navy print though, I felt it brought that out well, and I do like all shades of pink and blue together.

Staple jeans and Converse as it was a busy day, with working from home, the school run, and an appointment at the vets for Cooper. Converse were good for all the driving around.

Why I wore it:

I liked wearing this burgundy floral print cover up with my purple tee first time I wore it. So I thought I'd try it again with a dark tee, with this burgundy tunic and the black skinny jeans. It's not a perfect match to the colours in the print of the kimono, but I still really liked this outfit. I think the necklace was a good addition too, it took me a couple of tries that morning to find just the right necklace!

The Balenciaga first bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, unlike the outfit above, but I do love the pop of colour it adds, especially against the faded black skinny jeans.

We took advantage of the public holiday to head down the coast and spend some time with my parents. The rain arrived and slightly derailed our picnic plans, but our picnic in the lounge room was just as fun.

  1. I really like both of these and the outfits make me look forward to fall again! I enjoy the darker colors and the short kimonos. Most of mine are longer, but I really do like how the shorter ones pair with jeans. I am sharing kimonos too today!

  3. Blue + pink is always a winner! The maroon and burgundy in the second outfit looks great, too - not matching exactly, but a wonderful tonal look.

  4. I had to think of you today, Mica, when I found a kimono-style cover up in the charity shop :-)
    Both of your outfits are gorgeous, but my heart lies with the first one. I'm loving the pairing of desert rose and navy.
    Oh, and it often takes me several tries to find the right necklace and other accessories with my outfits! xxx

  8. The first look is so gorgeous. I love that it is super stylish but still made it possible to run around and get things done. Those jeans are fabulous.

  9. I really like the pop of color your bag adds to both outfits, Mica! These are both great ways to dress up a pair of jeans.

    I hope you are having a great week so far!

  15. Jeans a tee are such a great go to, and I love how you are doing a variation on the classic blue denim and white tee. The floral tops are like short kimonos. Love both looks!!

  16. I love both of these looks but maybe the second one a bit better. I think it's because you said your bag didn't go with the first one and then I couldn't stop seeing that! I do like it as a pop of color in the second one! But you look fabulous in both outfits!

  17. Turquoise is one of my favorite colors to accessorize with during the summer! I love how it pairs with red. Great combo!

  18. The turquoise in the first pattern isn't visible, but I think the issue is more the level of colour saturation - the turquoise looks faded/pastel, so it appears a little "meh" next to the saturated coral of your tee. I think a more bold turquoise or a darker shade of coral/pink would work better. It's still a great outfit, though. Love the red patterned topper!

  19. I love the fun floral pattern of the second kimono! Very eye-catching!
