Dolman Sleeve Blouses, Pencil Skirts and Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Once again I'm posting these two dolman sleeved blouses together in a post! They are perfect for office days, and this time around I've worn them with pencil skirts, trying to get another couple of wears in with these tops before winter weather arrives and makes them too tricky to wear. They aren't the easiest to layer over!

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Blouse:  thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

I find I wear this pencil skirt with a lot of black tops! I really like the matchy-matchy of the black polka dots on the mesh paired with a black top, and then I had to go even further by wearing the black Converse Chucks and the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I really liked the silver chain hardware with the statement silver necklace.

Both the necklace and top are recent opshop finds and they look so good together! The only downside to this outfit was that I couldn't really layer my cardigan over the sleeves in the office when I got a little chilly. But over-active aircon vent I was sitting under aside, I liked this outfit. Perfect for a day full of meetings.


Last worn: stud earrings, hammered silver necklace, dolman sleeve blouse, polka dot pencil skirt, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: dolman sleeve blouse and jeans, polka dot pencil skirt and tee, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: polka dot pencil skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit combination above so much I wore a very similar one again! This textured pencil skirt is a navy jacquard one that I feel gets quite a lot of wear, so like the pink polka dot one I'm always surprised I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet. Again I copied the matchy-matchy accessories with the black Converse and black Stella McCartney Falabella bag, and silver accessories again to match the chain detail on the tote.

Thankfully it was a little warmer in the office this time as I wasn't sitting near the over-active aircon vent, so I had no issues with this outfit. I enjoyed wearing it.
