Black Dresses, Sneakers and Violet Marc By Marc Jacobs Bag

Two little black dresses for work, both worn with my thrifted Marc By Marc Jacobs violet convertible clutch bag that I added an additional silver crossbody strap to.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Jeanswest tucked ponte black dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

Went with all the silver for this outfit! This little black fit and flare dress is one I haven't worn in a while, so it was overdue a wear. As were the silver glitter sneakers, that I snapped up at a bargain price at Kmart and haven't worn an awful lot. It was good to get them out again. With the silver statement earrings and the silver glitter shoes against the little black dress I needed a bit more colour, so I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs opshop find.

Nice simple outfit for a busy day at work, although we did have a very fun team lunch event in between all the meetings I had.


Last worn: silver earrings, black fit and flare dress, silver glitter sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: black fit and flare dress and blazer, silver glitter sneakers and maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch and shorts.

Marc By Marc Jacobs Thrift Find

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

We had another event at work, so to not look too overdressed or underdressed I picked another black dress from my wardrobe to wear. This black floral print Kmart one is one I often wear, I really like it for the office and worn casually too. Unlike the outfit above where I went a little matchy-matchy with the silver accessories and silver hardware on the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, this time around I wore gold accessories. My big statement gold earrings were an opshop find, and the little golden initial necklace is a vintage piece from my wardrobe. The blue converse are a good match with the blue in the print of the dress too.

The violet Marc By Marc Jacobs bag doesn't match the pink in the floral print of the dress exactly, but I like the different colours together.


Last worn: gold statement earrings, vintage letter m initial necklace, black floral midi dress, blue Converse, Marc by marc Jacobs convertible clutch (above).
