Pink Jeans, Grey Tees and Cocoon Cardigans

Two pink jeans and grey tee outfits for back in autumn, when the milder weather meant I just needed to layer with these cocoon cardigans. Both of them are opshop finds!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this to volunteer at my local polling place for Election day, serving up sausages at the sausage sizzle! If you're not Australian you might not know most polling places have a BBQ, maybe even some baking, to fundraise for community groups. It was my first time volunteering on election day, although obviously not my first sausage sizzle, and it went well! Was good to contribute to democracy sausages!

I was very conscious I didn't want to dress in any of the political party colours but with the grey tee and the black cocoon cardigan this outfit needed a little colour. These magenta Sass and Bide jeans were the perfect pop. I added a little matching magenta with the marble necklace, and another shade of pink with the Converse. I really liked how this outfit came together, although I ended up taking the knit off quite early in the morning as it turned into a really warm day.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, marble necklace, grey tee, magenta jeans, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans with blue, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers

Why I wore it:

This was not as fun a day! I was quite busy as Cooper had surgery so I had to take him to the vets and pick him up afterwards. Along with this the kids had school, sports in the evening and I was also working from home. Thankfully the surgery went well! I dressed comfortably, jeans and tee is a go-to for working from home in cooler weather, and the pink leopard print cocoon cardigan kept me cosy. Just like the outfit above, I went with pink jeans again to add a little more colour. These are an opshop find, and although they are a lighter pink, a grey tee goes with everything! 

I wore my Chloe Paddington bag again, I've been carrying it a lot lately, and with such a busy day I didn't want the hassle of changing bags so just kept using this one, although when juggling Cooper in my arms I did wish I'd picked a lighter bag, maybe a crossbody one!


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded tassel necklace, grey tunic tee, pink skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.
