Graphic Tees, Skinny Jeans, Cardigans and Mimco Cocoon bag

Wearing graphic tees with jeans again, making them nice and cosy for winter with these cocoon cardigans, and my Mimco cocoon bag.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

Having purchased this tee at the Kisschasy gig the night before, I was eager to wear it right away! Jeans are the easiest outfit choice with a band tee, and this coated denim pair was overdue another wear. With the black coated jeans, black stripes in the Adidas superstar, the black cocoon cardigan was a nice matchy-matchy choice. I continued the matching with the tassel earrings and the teal Mimco Cocoon bag. Surprisingly, it's the first time I've worn the earrings and bag together. It's such a good combination I'm sure I'll be repeating it again soon!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for a couple of errands and a bit of shopping with my sister and the boys.

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

This is actually the outfit I wore to the gig I bought the tee above at! I did swap out the grey cocoon cardigan for a warmer hoodie to go out to the show, but during the day this grey cardigan was all I needed to stay warm. Jeans and a tee has been a staple working from home outfit over winter, especially with a nice cosy knit like this. It was a warmer day and so I didn't need to add a scarf for the school run which was good as it would have hidden the detail on this Canada graphic tee.

With the blue and green in the graphic print I felt the teal Mimco cocoon bag was a nice choice, and it was something I could wear crossbody during the show while in the crowd. It's also a lot more spacious that it looks, both my sister and I bought tees at the merch stand and they fit in the bag nicely along with my essentials and left me hands-free for dancing during the songs. The Converse were an incredibly comfortable choice for being on my feet for a few hours too. We had such a great night!

Pink and Blue: Tiered Midi Dresses and Trench Coats

Two tiered dresses for the office with trench coats. Both of these outfits have scarves to combat the colder winter mornings in Brisbane currently, and feature pink and blue.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
DressSalty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Boots: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

This was a bittersweet day! We had a team lunch to celebrate one of our colleagues moving to a new team. I wanted to be a little dressed up for it, but also warm, as the restaurant was partially outdoors, and I had a bunch of meetings that day too. This cosy ombre pink pashmina scarf was a perfect cosy layer, and the navy trench coat was a practical choice as well. I actually ended up taking my scarf off at lunch as we got situated under the heater and it was quite toasty!

I picked this Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote to wear to fit in the card we had all put together for my colleague, and then the black ankle boots were an obvious matchy choice with that. I did wish I'd worn taller boots though, it was a bit of a windy day and that tiny little gap of leg above the boots that showed when the wind picked up the hem of the dress got a bit cold!


Last worn: navy mac, pink ombre scarf, navy and white tiered midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another tiered midi dress for the office, with the same black ankle boots. It was not quite as windy a day, so the little gap between the hem of the dress and top of my boots didn't make me too cold. Again I went with darker bag to match the boots. This Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag photographs as a black bag but it's just a very dark navy. I like pairing it with these boots.

I layered up this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with this cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl - it's so warm for winter! And my lined camel trench coat, always a staple in winter weather.
