Adding Colour To Black and White Jeans Outfits In Winter | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing two black and white outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link up. I like adding a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral outfit, and with it being winter in Brisbane I added some cosy but colourful layers to both of these outfits to brighten them up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Top: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans (new purchase)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Couldn't pass up these pristine white straight legged jeans at the opshop for just $1! I prefer skinny jeans over straight leg jeans, and I already have a pair of white skinny jeans, but for $1 I was eager to try these. They are such a comfortable fit too.

For their first wear I went with the classic black tank and as I had a little bit of driving to do with errands, the school run, and more errands after picking the kids up from school, my comfortable New Balance sneakers. With the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag too this definitely needed a little extra colour! The red waterfall cardigan was super cosy for a cold winter day and I love how much it brightened up the black and white outfit. It was just the right layer to make this linen blend tank warm enough for the cold morning too.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue beaded necklace, black linen tank, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the white jeans as they were a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, black linen tank and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and floral dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf (new purchase)
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another first wearing of a newly thrifted piece. I bought a few things in July! Since I liked the outfit combination above so much I wore something similar again the next week, this time with the black jeans and a white tee, and a black cardigan. The colour came from this awesome pink ombre tassel scarf. I have quite a lot of scarves, but couldn't walk past this one in the opshop for just $2! I really like the different shades of pink and how well they work with the black and white outfit.

Like above, it was another day of working from home and doing the school run, so comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect for that. I really liked this outfit. Except for the Converse and the white v-neck tee, everything was an opshop find! I've really been focusing on shopping preloved more often and adding a lot of thrift finds to my wardrobe over the past few years.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Tiffany necklace, white v-neck tee, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and leopard print, white tee and midi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in third trimester.
