Pink and Turquoise Outfits With Denim Skirts and Balenciaga City Bag

Some colourful pink and turquoise outfits I wore recently. Pairing my recently thrifted cover ups with a couple of classic Target denim skirts.

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

The perfect comfy Sunday outfit! A simple tank, denim skirt, Superstar sneakers, and a very cute and colourful cover up. We had a quiet morning, and in the afternoon headed out to a mum's group event at a café we hadn't been to before. We will definitely be back, I enjoyed the location and conversation and the kids loved all of the fun things to explore.

With this bright cover up, I went a little matchy-matchy with the turquoise tassel necklace. The blue earrings hadn't been worn in a while and were also a good match to the blue in the print. Last time I wore this cover up I paired it with pink, so I picked a bright pink bag, this Balenciaga sorbet city, which I absolutely loved the colour combination of. Handy for all our water bottles when we went out too!


Last worn: blue earrings, printed tassel trim cover up, metallic tank, tassel necklace, black denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Why I wore it:

Again with the turquoise and pink! I really love this combination, and the cover up makes it so easy to wear that combination, having both the colours in the print! Wore another classic target denim skirt, a white one this time, and a brighter tank, this turquoise one that was overdue a wear. I really like how bright this outfit was. I stuck with comfortable sneakers as after the school run and working from home we had a couple of errands to run.

I got to surprise my son at his event at school in the afternoon by wrapping up work a little early. Wearing this bright outfit he certainly couldn't miss me standing on the side-lines! The gold glitter earrings were a fun neutral with all that colour, and this nude necklace seemed the best choice to pair with the bright colours.


Last worn: palm print cover up, gold glitter earrings, wood and clay necklace, turquoise tank, white Target denim skirt, Sketchers, Balenciaga sorbet city (above).

Blue and White Shorts Outfits With Balenciaga Moto Bags

Another outfit duo following a similar formula but two very different resulting looks, with shorts, blue and white, and Balenciaga bags. These bags are from 2009 and 2010, but age so well! I'm glad I splurged on them all those years ago.


What I wore:

JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Tee: Primark Edinburgh white graphic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

A hot but relaxed day, with the school run and working from home. Surprisingly, I haven't worn this tie dye cape and the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag together before. I really like blue and pink so expected the combination to come up in my blog archives, but looks like this is a new pairing! The different blue and navy shades in the tie dye go so nicely with the sorbet pink of the bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this white graphic tee and Bermuda denim shorts, it was really too hot for much else, or for proper shoes! Didn't even add a necklace to this - I think with the printed cape and the graphic print on the tee, and bright bag, there was already enough going on in this outfit.


Last worn: tie dye cape, Edinburgh tee, Bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

Another hot day! We had a quiet morning at home, with a wildlife show to attend in the afternoon with the kids. I went with this simple turquoise tank and these light white Bermuda denim shorts, again blue and white like the outfit above. Because the show was outdoors I felt I should add a little bit of physical sunblock as well so went with this tropical floral print duster.

I've worn this purple Balenciaga work bag with turquoise before, and liked the combination. I also like wearing this purple bag with navy, so thought it would go nicely with the duster. All together it doesn't work quite as well as I would have liked, and with it being so hot and sticky I was wishing I'd gone with no duster on top. The bag was the perfect size for all our water bottles though. Thankfully we got home from the show just before the storm hit, and the humidity didn't stop my kids from enjoying the wildlife show and getting up close and personal with the animals and snakes.

If there's a colour scheme you enjoy wearing, try finding different pieces in your wardrobe to create it. Both of these outfits feature blue and white, just in different ways to create different looks.

Blue V-Neck Tees, Denim Shorts, Navy Kimonos and Sorbet Pink Balenciaga City Bag

For today's Weekday Wear Linkup, more outfits for school holiday adventures with the kids! As we had warmer days back in April I kept it simple and fairly monochrome with blue tees and denim shorts, and blue printed kimonos. The sorbet Pink Balenciaga city bag added a little extra burst of colour with all the blue too.


What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace

Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day but required a lot of walking so I wore my comfortable New Balance sneakers to support my knee.

Wore the floral print duster for sun coverage but it was really hot and humid so I regretted it a little a couple times in the middle of the day when the heat was at the maximum. By the time we got to the beach in the afternoon though it was really breezy and I was glad I'd thrown it on top of my shorts and tee outfit.

With the baby blue tee and pale denim Bermuda shorts too the tropical floral print on the duster was a nice way to break up the monochrome look. As was the pink marble necklace and the sorbet Pink Balenciaga city bag. I was a little sad I'd chosen this bag in the afternoon though when one of the tassels snapped off, but it had been looking like it was about to fall off anyway. The bag is 11 years old so one snapped tassel isn't too bad!

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 


Why I wore it:

This was a much darker monochrome outfit, with the navy tee and again blue denim shorts. These distressed boyfriend shorts were an opshop find and have quickly become a staple! Unlike the first outfit, the blue printed kimono added to the monochromatic look so I relied on accessories to break up the blue a little, like the blush tassel necklace and of course the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag again. It just works so well with blue! Even kept the blue going with my cute little blue Converse Chucks. They were perfect as I didn't have too much walking to do.

Took the kids out to the playground in the morning to run off some of their energy and get them out the house - the problem for my hubby working from home during the school holidays is trying to work from home with the kids making a lot of noise! After the playground we picked up some new books at the library and then went shopping for a birthday present for an upcoming birthday before heading home for lunch.


How You Can Wear It:

A blue tee works so nicely with classic blue denim! To break up all that blue you can add some bright contrasting accessories like a pink bag, or a vibrant printed kimono to introduce more variety to your outfit.

Neutral Dresses And Pink Balenciaga City Bag

A sign of how behind I've been with blogging, these are the outfits I wore for the first week back at school at the end of January. Back into the routine with the school run each day called for easy outfits - nothing easier than a neutral dress and a bright pink bag, this Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag really pops against neutral.


What I wore:

Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
DressAsos grey skater dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Had a busy day ahead, with some errands after the school drop off so I picked this grey skater dress, it looks so good with pink but surprisingly I've never worn this bag and dress together before. I was so sure I had until I looked back through my blog archives. Despite taking years to wear these two together I really liked the pairing, especially when I added the little magenta necklace too.

Good simple outfit for a hot day with a little running around - we visited the library and got some groceries as well as attempting to return an item to Jeanswest. They don't do returns for sale items any more so I had to exchange instead - luckily my sister had her eye on a dress in store and I could pick that up for her.


Last worn: grey skater dress, magenta crescent necklace, Adidas Superstar, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag.

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 


Why I wore it:

More matchy-matchy with a pink necklace and pink bag! Working from home and doing the school run called for something really easy - this dress is what my blog friend Sheila would call a "jammy dress" as it's as comfortable as pyjamas, just what I needed for an impossibly long day of meetings. I'd planned to wear this dress as I knew the first week back at school after the summer holidays would be a busy one as we all settled into the routine, dresses are so good for outfits you don't have to think too hard about!

I'd grabbed the Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear without considering the stripes on the dress but looking at the photos I liked the contrasting stripes! Was just another bit of matchy-matchy like the pink accessories really.

Last worn: blue earrings, stripe tee dress, wooden beaded necklace, Adidas Superstar (above), Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag (above).

Weekday Wear Link Up Kmart Floral Maxi Dresses and Balenciaga Bags

As usual, mixing affordable clothes with more high end bags! Pairing these two pretty Kmart tiered maxi dresses with Balenciaga bags for a little bit of shopping.

ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 


Why I wore it:

This was a fun outfit, I don't know why I haven't tried this plain white tee over this coral printed maxi dress before! The tee is a little long on me so I just knotted it a bit to make it sit nicer over the dress. Added in the simple neutral gladiator sandals and a tactile blue statement necklace, this was an easy outfit to pull together. After trying a pink bag with this coral dress once before I have been trying a few more with it - and this is the first time I've worn the pink Balenciaga city bag with it. I think the pink worked with the coral of the dress.

Wore this for a little bit of shopping - although it was mid December we hadn't done the Kmart wishing tree yet for that year, and it's our annual tradition. We went there after swimming lessons to let the boys pick out a toy each to put under the wishing tree for those doing it tough at Christmas time. Had my parents over later in the afternoon and a yummy takeaway dinner that evening as we watched another festive movie. Such a good day.

Dress: Kmart tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Why I wore it:

Another annual shopping trip! Each year we have a girls' day out, visiting the outlets on the Gold Coast to enjoy some time together before Christmas and cross a few more presents off our list. This year it was a little harder to organise everyone's schedules and we didn't get a day together until the 22nd December, long after our Christmas present shopping was finished. We wanted to keep up the tradition though, so we headed down the coast to have a bit of a browse, lunch, and just spend time together.

I'd wanted to layer up this teal floral maxi dress with a red tee over the top to make it seem Christmas-y but struggled to find a red tee that worked with the neckline and by the time I found one that looked okay I was a bit hot and bothered and decided to leave it. I'm glad I didn't wear a tee on top, it was a really hot and humid day (the outlets are outdoors) and I would have melted with an extra layer! This dress looks good on its own too. Carried the Balenciaga bag for a little extra room, and added the silver leaf earrings and silver cuff to match the hardware on the bag.

Managed to pick up a cute little Christmas tree on sale, as well as a tee for myself for just $5. Even picked up some birthday presents for next year as I'd done all my Christmas shopping but there were some great deals on and I wasn't going to waste a shopping trip!



How You Can Wear It:

Given a choice I'll always splurge a bit more on accessories as they can easily change up the look of an outfit. A failsafe instant summer outfit is a printed dress with a block colour bag, easy!

Striped Tee Dresses With Pink and Purple Accessories: Balenciaga Bags and High Tops

Two incredibly similar outfits following an almost identical outfit formula. Striped tee dresses like these are perfect for spring, especially when you add bright accessories like purple high tops, Balenciaga bags and an extra touch of pink.

What I wore:

white navy stripe tee dress with Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag | away from the blue

ScarfAlexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesPurple high top Converse look-a-likes
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Wore this to take the kids out to the movies! Movie theatres have been open for a while when the restrictions lifted but we haven't really felt the need to go. We haven't been big movie goers since having kids, so it wasn't like we felt we were missing out when things were closed. My sister scored us free family tickets to a Paw Patrol movie though, so we decided to take advantage and take the kids out to their first movie of the year. The last one we saw at the movies together was Frozen 2!

While it was a warm spring day I knew it would be cold in the cinema so I took the opportunity to wear this long sleeved tee dress I thrifted a few weeks ago. Added more colour to it with the purple high top shoes and Balenciaga work bag. Even though the shades of purple are very different I thought they looked good together. The pink skull scarf was another way to add even more colour and picked again for extra warmth in the cinema.

It was a really fun morning out and I'm glad we went - even if the kids were getting annoyed with how frequently I was getting them to sanitise their hands!

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 

Why I wore it:

This was another fun day! Had a rather boring morning of errands and getting my tax done, but I got to spend the afternoon with my sister who stayed for dinner with us.

This striped tee dress is actually one from my sister's wardrobe, I gained it in one of her wardrobe clear-outs luckily! With the neutral black and white stripes I used accessories again to add more colour, with the purple high tops (also from my sister's wardrobe clear-out... ) and a touch of pink with the marble necklace and Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

I've shared 30 ways to wear this pink Balenciaga city bag before and wearing it with black is a combination I've worn heavily over the 10 years I've had it. It just pops so well! I really liked this outfit. Perfect for such a hot day too.

How You Can Wear It:

A stripe tee dress is a good basic to have in your wardrobe, especially in neutral colours. You can change it up each time you wear it with brightly coloured accessories. Add more colours with shoes, bags, and scarves or necklaces depending on the weather.

Two Ways To Wear A Striped Tee In Spring

While I have quite a few striped tees in my wardrobe already, I couldn't go past this cream and black one at the opshop for just $1! I like the retro vibe with the narrow stripes and cream instead of white. like any striped tee, it's so easy to wear different ways in my wardrobe.

What I wore:

spring cardigan and shorts outfit with striped tee converse mustard olive and navy accessories | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight navy with mustard cardigan | awayfromblue

awayfromblue instagram | colourful way to wear a striped tee mustard cardigan olive shorts outfit

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart black and cream stripe tee (new purchase)
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

A colourful outfit for the first wearing of this tee. I mentioned before I like the cardigan and shorts combination, even if the extremely warm start to spring meant I couldn't wear it as much as I liked! With the mustard cardigan, navy accessories and olive pull on shorts, this was a comfortable outfit perfect for working from home. And as I mentioned on Instagram, taking advantage of a break between meetings to go for a drive and swap with someone for the last Ooshie we needed for our collection.

When we caught up with my parents a few days later they gave me the last of the Ooshies they had...and now we have 3 of that little one I drove to get. Got too caught up in the "early ending of the promotion" panic! 😂 I'm glad we completed our set though, and the Ooshie craze is over (for this year!) now...


Last worn: mustard cardigan, navy necklace, olive embroidered shorts, Converse, navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. First time I've worn the tee as it was a recent purchase.

Tee: thrifted Kmart black and cream stripe tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet 

Why I wore it:

A slightly more monochromatic outfit this time, pairing the black and cream striped tee with the black Converse and the also thrifted black maxi skirt. The skirt was just $1 too! It was a wonderful spring day so I wanted to add a little more colour - pink accessories were perfect, with the pink marble and gold necklace and my sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag. Simple outfit for a busy morning - although it was my day off I had to dial in for a very important yet short meeting that morning while the kids watched PJ Masks to keep them quiet 😂

I picked the city bag instead of the baby bag to use for the day out with the kids, it easily holds all the water bottles and things you need to bring. I did forget to put tissues or wipes in my bag though. Which would have come in handy when my son stacked it on his bike and bled profusely all over the pavement. A lovely mum with her toddler (and fully stocked baby bag) having a picnic nearby offered us some baby wipes which was so helpful. Thankfully we didn't need to utilise the first aid kit in the car as my son felt better by the time we got back to the car park, and everything was easily cleaned up when we got home.



How You Can Wear It:

A striped tee is a staple wardrobe basic! It's easy to wear too. Keep things monochromatic by wearing pieces that match the stripes, or add more colour with bright layers. A striped tee is something that works well with shorts and skirts!
