Shorts, Tanks and Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag

Two blue tank outfits with denim shorts, recently thrifted cover ups, and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: Roie Designs pearl and antique gold long necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Simple casual tank and denim shorts outfit for a day of working from home. I thought that the recently thrifted leopard print cover up, statement necklace and gunmetal twisted bracelet stack dressed up this outfit a little for having dinner with my sister in the evening. I wasn't too sure about the teal tank with the turquoise Balenciaga first bag, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this outfit combination, and I'm glad I gave it a go! I think the leopard print cover up helped break up the similar shades enough.


Last worn: teal tank, pearl necklace, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga turquoise first bag. First time I've worn the cover up on the blog as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: teal tank over a dress, distressed denim shorts with yellow, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the teal and turquoise combination above, the next day I tried something similar with this turquoise tank and the Balenciaga first bag again. I added the black denim shorts and this darker floral print cover up, which was also a recent opshop find. I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above, I felt the tank and the bag were a bit too similar. I'm glad I gave something different a try though, and I will definitely have to try turquoise with this dark floral print cover up again. Maybe not on such a hot day next time, this polyester wasn't very breathable or bearable in the summer humidity!

Nice easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and a playdate after school pick up.

Last worn: turquoise tank, beaded necklace, black denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Balenciaga turquoise first bag (above). First time I've worn the cover up as it's a recent thrift purchase.

Other ways to wear: turquoise tank and blazer, black denim shorts and printed cami, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and maxi skirt.
