Why I wore it:
I really like this knitted poncho. It's too warm to wear most of the year in Brisbane, but on this chilly winter day it was perfect! Just like a snuggly blanket it kept me warm for working from home, and then in the afternoon when we had some errands to run and a birthday present to buy for my son's friend.
With the pretty pattern on this poncho I stuck to neutral pieces underneath with this navy tee and the black skinny jeans and black Converse, I added a little more colour with another shade of blue from this Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag, that goes with everything!

Why I wore it:
This was a cold morning that was threatening rain and I was honestly tempted to stay inside all day! I'd booked the kids in for a couple of school holiday events though so we braved the chill and wrapped up warmly. Got a lot of fun photos too, with a wildlife show (even the lizards had their own hot water bottle!) and then a coding event at the library.
This red waterfall drape cardigan is one that can be buttoned up on the shoulders. Great for breastfeeding in winter and using as a cover up, it also turns into a cosy wrap tunic if you just button up both sides. It's the first time I've worn this red one like this (although I've done it with the navy version of this cardigan before) and I really liked this. I skipped the scarf and added statement earrings instead to dress this up a little, but the cheerful red of this cardigan makes enough of a statement on its own.
Paired it with my dark grey jeans, and again the black Converse and Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

I'm wondering exactly how cold it was on that chilly winter's day. Quite possibly, we've been having similar temperatures in Summer :-)
ReplyDeleteLoving the poncho and the buttoned up waterfall cardigan. The pop of red against the grey is fabulous! xxx
The first outfit is a great example of mixing black and navy. The hammered necklace really adds a lot to the look!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are staying warm and cozy! That poncho is SO cute. How wonderful that you were able to wear it on a chilly day. That drape cardigan is gorgeous. What a beautiful item!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
So great that you had a lovely outing with kids, even if it was chilly.
ReplyDeleteLove that shade of orange on you.
You look so pretty!
