Shorts, Tanks and Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag

Two blue tank outfits with denim shorts, recently thrifted cover ups, and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag.


What I wore:





Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
NecklaceRoie Designs pearl and antique gold long necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Simple casual tank and denim shorts outfit for a day of working from home. I thought that the recently thrifted leopard print cover up, statement necklace and gunmetal twisted bracelet stack dressed up this outfit a little for having dinner with my sister in the evening. I wasn't too sure about the teal tank with the turquoise Balenciaga first bag, but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this outfit combination, and I'm glad I gave it a go! I think the leopard print cover up helped break up the similar shades enough.


Last worn: teal tank, pearl necklace, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga turquoise first bag. First time I've worn the cover up on the blog as it's a recent opshop find.

Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black

BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the teal and turquoise combination above, the next day I tried something similar with this turquoise tank and the Balenciaga first bag again. I added the black denim shorts and this darker floral print cover up, which was also a recent opshop find. I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above, I felt the tank and the bag were a bit too similar. I'm glad I gave something different a try though, and I will definitely have to try turquoise with this dark floral print cover up again. Maybe not on such a hot day next time, this polyester wasn't very breathable or bearable in the summer humidity!

Nice easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and a playdate after school pick up.

Magnificent 8 In Maxi Skirts And Dresses

This quarter's Magnificent 8 themed post is maxi skirts and dresses, which I have no shortage of in my wardrobe! Despite it being winter here in Brisbane, I still get my maxi skirts out now and then. While they are worn most often in the warmer weather, I can easily layer them up for our snow free winters.


What I wore:


Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
TeeAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I did actually wear this back in June, when it was a little warmer as it was just the first month of winter. I really like this lightweight maxi skirt on hot days, but in cooler weather it needs a few more layers. Ankle boots were a must! With the gorgeous ochre shade of the skirt, I've enjoyed wearing different colours of burgundy with it lately, so this white and burgundy striped long sleeved tee was the perfect accompaniment with it, and the denim jacket was a good layer. I definitely needed the jacket for the cooler weather of the school run, but in the afternoon when we had an appointment after school, I was able to go without the jacket and still be warm enough.

It had been a while since I'd worn this cute turquoise Balenciaga first bag, so I got it out again. I love how it looks with the orange skirt, and with only the school run, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon, I didn't need to carry much so this was a great size.

Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Why I wore it:

This was a much colder day than the one above, so warmer layers were needed! Instead of ankle boots, I went with Converse under my maxi skirt, as I had a little break during my work from home day to go cheer my son on in his sporting event. Needed comfortable shoes for a lot of standing around. With the navy tee, grey striped maxi skirt, and the black leather jacket, this outfit was cosy, but a bit dull for cheering on my son. I added the mustard scarf, as yellow and blue always look so good together and I thought it would help my son spot me in the crowd! It worked well for that.

Unlike the outfit above, I went with a classic black bag this time, my Balenciaga part time bag with giant silver hardware. I had my camera as well as a water bottle. It was quite a windy day so I appreciated the thick leather jacket keeping me warm as I stood on the side lines. And when I went back to working from home, the jersey maxi skirt and navy tee were such a comfortable outfit.

Band Tees and Maxi Skirts With Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag

While I have been favouring my jeans so far this winter, I do enjoy wearing my maxi skirts in the cold weather too! Layered up these two maxi skirts recently with some band tees, and a pop of colour with my Balenciaga first bag.


What I wore:

JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee (new purchase)
SkirtNoisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

This band tee is a new wardrobe addition! I was so sad when Kisschasy did their final tour a few years ago, but they reunited for a series of gigs this year and I unfortunately couldn't make it. When they put the merch online though I knew I had to grab a tee to add to my Kisschasy band tee collection!

With the double denim of this chambray maxi skirt and white denim jacket outfit, I think the bright red and yellow in the graphic print really popped. Wore the Balenciaga Blue India first bag for a little extra colour, even though the outfit didn't really need it. Comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers too for the school run, working from home and a little driving around after school pick up to run errands.


Last worn: white denim jacket, chambray maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga first bag. First time I've worn the tee as it is a recent purchase.

Why I wore it:

This was a much colder winter day than the one above! Similar routine, with the school run and working from home, and also a little trip to the vets for Cooper. As it was a bit chillier than I had expected, but I'd already planned out this outfit to wear, I just added this cosy leather jacket on top instead of the denim jacket I had planned. It made for a very neutral outfit, with the black and white printed band tee and the black leather jacket, black maxi skirt, and black ankle boots. I think that the Balenciaga first bag really shines here as a great pop of colour!

Matching Tees To Cover Ups With Dark Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some simple jeans and tee outfits with some recently thrifted cover ups and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag to add a little more colour.


What I wore:

grey jeans, converse, zig zag cover up pink tee turquoise Balenciaga first bag | awayfromblue

Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with pink tee | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Since I thrifted the navy flat necklace and the zig zag print cover up together, I knew I'd end up wearing them together, the navy shades match perfectly! Just like last time I wore this cover up, I tried a little turquoise bag to make the turquoise in the print pop out a bit more. Once again, it didn't really seem to work. I did love how well the pink tee went with the coral in the navy print though, I felt it brought that out well, and I do like all shades of pink and blue together.

Staple jeans and Converse as it was a busy day, with working from home, the school run, and an appointment at the vets for Cooper. Converse were good for all the driving around.





What I wore:

burgundy tee, floral cover up, skinny jeans, converse and Balenciaga first bag | awayfromblue

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up

TeeZalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I liked wearing this burgundy floral print cover up with my purple tee first time I wore it. So I thought I'd try it again with a dark tee, with this burgundy tunic and the black skinny jeans. It's not a perfect match to the colours in the print of the kimono, but I still really liked this outfit. I think the necklace was a good addition too, it took me a couple of tries that morning to find just the right necklace!

The Balenciaga first bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, unlike the outfit above, but I do love the pop of colour it adds, especially against the faded black skinny jeans.

We took advantage of the public holiday to head down the coast and spend some time with my parents. The rain arrived and slightly derailed our picnic plans, but our picnic in the lounge room was just as fun.

Black, Burgundy and Grey Jeans Outfits With Turquoise Bag

Two burgundy, black and grey jeans and tee outfits, accessorised with my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Both outfits have similar colour schemes and follow the same basic formula, but I didn't love them both equally!


What I wore:

JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace

JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesAdidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Taking full advantage of this cosy knitted poncho, I didn't need to wear a scarf in that winter morning, so I chose this little turquoise and gold beaded necklace. While it's lighter than the almost teal turquoise of the Balenciaga First bag, I really liked the two together, and loved the colour they added to the deep burgundy (almost purple) tee. The grey Nobody Denim jeans were a sale find last year and they really should be worn more, such a nice wash that goes with everything!

Comfy sneakers for a quiet day with working from home and the school run. I thought that these white Stan Smiths went nicely with the white pattern on the knit. Such a comfortable outfit, I really liked this.


Last worn: knitted kimono, burgundy tee, turquoise beaded necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Stan Smith sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise first bag.

BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I planned to wear an outfit with a similar formula a few days later. With burgundy jeans this time, a black tee, and a grey cardigan. Again I went with the little Balenciaga bag which I think goes so well with this outfit.

The day was a lot colder than I expected though, and so I ended up changing the black scoop neck tee that I'd planned to wear out with this crew neck peplum tee, and added a scarf. As these were last minute changes before rushing out the door to get the kids to school I'm really not sure all the pieces worked as well together as the pieces in the outfit above did. I felt maybe a plain black tee like I'd planned would have been better with the skull print scarf. Although I liked the colours in this outfit, definitely felt more comfortable in the first one. Luckily it was another similar day, with the school run, working from home and then a little errand in the afternoon, so it was quite quiet.


Last worn: grey cardigan, peplum tee, red skull scarf, burgundy jeans, Converse, Balenciaga first bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is always a staple, and adding a little burgundy with the grey and black neutrals is a nice way to add some more colour to your outfit. A little colourful bag is an extra pop too!

Pink Tees, Black Knits And Skinny Jeans With Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two pink and turquoise outfits I wore recently for the school run and working from home. I liked the pink tees and black layers outfits I wore previously, so repeated similar outfits again, both accessorised with my little turquoise Balenciaga first bag.


What I wore:

Balenciaga chevre vintage turquoise first bag with black carfigan pink tee tartan scarf skinny jeans | awayfromblue

black cardigan and pink tee with Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India | awayfromtheblue


JacketCotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! My favourite thrifted $1 faded black jeans, black cardigan and black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers were great basics to start with in my outfit and let me add more colour. While there is no pink in the tartan scarf, and the shades of blue are different from the little Balenciaga first bag, I thought all these colours went so nicely together.

The scarf was needed on a cold morning too, and at sports later in the evening! I had a couple quick errands to run after school drop off, before working from home and then picking the kids up at school in the afternoon.


Last worn: black cardigan, pink tee, tartan scarf, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and shorts, pink tee knotted over dress, tartan scarf and stripes, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and shorts.

Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Just like last time I wore this cosy knitted kimono I paired it with a pink tee again! A brighter pink tee this time, but almost exactly the same as the last time I wore this knit, as I wore it with black jeans then too! It was the perfect thing to wear when all I had to do was working from home, and the school run. It's so warm and cosy, like a blanket!

While the pink tee adds a lot of colour to the black and white outfit, the turquoise Balenciaga first bag adds an extra pop I really enjoyed - it looks so good with both pink and black! Plus it had everything in it from when I'd worn it above, and meant I didn't need the hassle of switching over my bag while also making sure the kids got to school on time!

How You Can Wear It:

Pink tees look great with neutral black layers in winter - and you can't beat a classic jeans and tee outfit! A bright bag like this Balenciaga first bag is a nice way to add even more colour to winter layers too.

Fuchsia Kmart Dresses and Balenciaga Bags

Two pretty pink dresses! I love this bright bold fuchsia pink Kmart uses in their dresses, it's such a fun colour to wear. For extra bold outfits, I added some bright accessories too.


What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia with balenciaga accessories studded sandals and mango envelope clutch | awayfromtheblue

fuchsia pink dress with Balenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings

ShoesBalenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagBalenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH


Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate Easter with the family. I'm a bit behind with blogging outfits! We headed down the coast for an Easter lunch and a high speed egg hunt. The kids get faster every year, and they had been asking about when the next Easter egg hunt would be since January! They were very excited and pleased with their haul.

My parents had also been doing a bit of spring cleaning, finally opening up some boxes that hadn't been touched since we moved into that house almost 20 years ago! After lunch we started looking through some. It was an incredible time capsule, lots of fun memories and we all ended up going home with a few boxes of things! Tamagotchi (which my kids are loving playing with!), Furby, things from primary school, Gameboy games, it was a treasure trove!

While this fuchsia tiered midi dress is bold enough on it's own I wanted to add a little more colour to it - this mango Balenciaga envelope clutch is such a cheerful colour and I was pleased by how much I liked the two together when I tried it! I wore my Balenciaga sandals too, although they don't match the pink of the dress the mini rose gold hardware matches the hardware on the envelope clutch nicely.


Last worn: dangly earrings, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, gold charm necklace, Balenciaga sandals, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch.

Other ways to wearfuchsia pink tiered midi dress and pink bag, Balenciaga sandals and shorts, Balenciaga mangue envelope clutch and printed jeans.

Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Another Kmart fuchsia dress that I love - this one was a very lucky opshop find, just $1! I added some colourful accessories to this dress too, with the blue wooden beaded necklace and turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Blue and pink are so good together, in any combination of shades. For something a little different I added a third colour in with these purple high top sneakers as well that I scored after my sister did a wardrobe clear out a while back.

Had a fun weekend playdate planned with some friends, although the kids were a little upset when one of their friends couldn't come along as he had virus symptoms. He had a negative test but as he wasn't feeling great and coughing he stayed home while we promised to organise another playdate in future. It was nice the playdate could continue with the other boys though, they had a fun time bouncing around on the trampoline, playing laser tag in the back yard and of course building amazing Lego creations. We'd been worried about it raining so that's why I hosted at my house, but it ended up being a really nice day and such a warm morning.


Last worn: Kmart linen blend dress, blue wooden bead necklace, purple high tops, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wearKmart linen blend dress and kimono, purple high tops and stripes, Balenciaga first bag and culottes.




How You Can Wear It:

Fuchsia is a fun bold colour to wear, but it doesn't mean you have to pair it with neutral accessories! Try complimentary or contrasting shoes or bags to create an even more colourful outfit.
