Long Skirts, Blazers and Tanks With Converse and Silver Mini MAC

Longer skirts for the office. Both of these outfits are the same basic outfit formula, with tanks, blazers, Converse and then a long skirt. I like easily repeatable outfit formulas, especially for office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Top: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler morning so I definitely needed an extra layer over this tank with my bare shoulders for the morning commute. This grey jersey blazer was perfect, adds a little more formality to the green broderie midi skirt and the black linen tank. It also kept me warm travelling to and from work, and when it got a little too cold in the office. I did have to pop out for a quick errand before lunch, and left my blazer behind as the sun came out and it was a beautifully warm day!

Went very matchy-matchy with the accessories. The white Converse were a good neutral, but the silver circle stud earrings and the silver circle necklace I couldn't resist matching together. And then of course a silver bag, this Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC, was the obvious choice.

Last worn: Mimco stud earrings, circle necklace, grey jersey blazer, black linen blend tank, green broderie midi skirt, white leather Converse, silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, black linen blend tank and jeans, green broderie midi skirt and tee, white leather Converse and shorts, silver mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC in third trimester..

Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit, and all the matchy-matchy again! I thrifted this pretty terrazzo print tank, along with the hammered silver circle earrings and the hammered silver statement necklace. Don't they make such a good accessory pair? Once again with all that silver I wore my Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag. Even the Converse matched this time, I couldn't resist wearing these pink Converse mum got me recently as they match the pink parts in the printed tank so nicely. With the black blazer and black maxi skirt being an easy match too I really liked this outfit. Sometimes I just want to match all the things!

The only downside of this outfit was that the earrings kept falling out - luckily I didn't loose them, but it was a bit frustrating. I ended up bending the posts to try keep them in place better halfway through the day, and that seemed to work.


Last worn: black blazer, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace, earrings and tank as they are a recent opshop finds.
