Office Outfits: Blazers And Pencil Skirts With Converse | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing two pencil skirt and blazer outfits with Converse that I wore into the office recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart blue fringe crescent statement earrings

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Top: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

I felt this tank was overdue another wear. I haven't worn it since September last year. I've worn it to the office quite a few times (and also with this grey skirt previously). It doesn't get worn as much in my casual everyday wardrobe, when I really should wear and enjoy it more often. It was good to get it out again for another office day, and I felt the navy blazer dressed up the printed tank and casual knit skirt nicely.

The only downside of this tank is that it can get a bit crinkled - as you can see from the photos, where it popped out from the waistband of the skirt after a frantic and very humid morning as I was rushing around trying to get everything ready before running out the door to drop the kids off at school and driving to the office.

Thought I'd try this chunky wooden necklace with the outfit, even though only the navy bead matches anything. I liked it on the day, but looking at the photos now, maybe a different necklace would have worked better.


Last worn: navy blazer, geometric wood necklace, earrings, leaf print tank, grey pencil skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and sheath dress, leaf print tank worn two ways, grey pencil skirt worn two ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey pencil skirt in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

All The Blue Bags In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string (new purchase)
Top: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This pastel pink blazer was another piece I was looking at in my wardrobe and realising it hadn't been worn enough - so I paired it with this jacquard skirt for the office. It's been good getting into the office more regularly, even if just to wear pieces from the "corporate" section of my wardrobe which have been pretty neglected the past couple of years. This blazer is one that I have worn casually, but a blazer is definitely an office day staple for me.

I was surprised how brown the blush pink blazer made the tank look! I did really like the combination though. I do like the aqua of the mini MAC against the pastel pink of the blazer, but maybe another bag would have been better with this outfit as a whole, like a navy or black one. I'd just been using the mini MAC the day before and it was easier keeping all my things in it and using it for work, less things to get organised in the morning before the rush to the office! I'm also trying to be more open to different colour combinations, so it was good to give this a try, even if I wouldn't repeat it again with this outfit.


Last worn: blush blazer, dusty rose cami, jacquard pencil skirt, Converse, aqua mini MAC. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn 2 ways, dusty rose cami and shorts, jacquard pencil skirt and cardigan, Converse and jeans, aqua mini MAC with orange.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, Converse in second trimester, aqua mini MAC in third trimester.

Pink Dresses And Blazers For The Office With Floral Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing a couple more office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, both featuring Kmart fuchsia pink dresses I added blazers on top of to make them more office appropriate for my business causal office.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus a beaded bracelet my son made me
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

We had a themed lunch in the office which gave me the perfect excuse to wear this dress. I'd seen another employee from a different floor wearing a similar dress the week before so this dress was first to my mind for our lunch!

To make this fuchsia tiered midi dress more office appropriate I added the navy blazer on the top, but I definitely didn't need it for our outdoors lunch as it was such a hot day. I really like this pink dress with the little hand painted floral bag too, it's a combination I've worn before and I thought it would be a fun talking point to wear for our lunch.

Last worn: navy blazer, Piper gold heart studs, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue necklace, fuchsia tiered midi dress, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff floral mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and printed dress, fuchsia tiered midi dress and denim jacket, white Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff floral mini MAB tote and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: Polka Luka Paradiso triple strand resin necklace transparent cobalt
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

As much as I love blue and pink together, I like grey and pink too! Added a few blue accessories to this fuchsia pink Kmart linen dress with the resin necklace and blue Converse, and the grey jersey blazer was a great topper to make it feel a little more office appropriate.

It wasn't another themed lunch day in the office but I still enjoyed wearing such a bright and colourful dress to work. Got a few compliments on it, it's just so cheerful, and the linen was great in the hot commute to and from the office with our Brisbane heatwave.

Last worn: grey jersey blazer, blue resin necklace, Kmart fuchsia linen dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote (above).

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and pencil skirt, Kmart fuchsia linen dress with orange, blue Converse and midi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote and floral dress.

Navy and Green Office Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two more office outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both are green and blue with skirts that add a little bit of interest, accessorised with my periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag that goes with everything.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

I got the idea from this outfit from a colleague in the office, who looked amazing in her peach midi slip skirt. I did feel a little self conscious in this though. While it's a modest midi length, the side slit is quite high and I kept fussing with the skirt all day wondering if it was too high-cut for the office.

Issue with the side slit aside, I really liked this outfit. The navy tee was perfect with this skirt, and I didn't wear a blazer as I wanted to show off the cute frill sleeves. Converse because they are the unofficial shoe of choice in the office nowadays!

While the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag doesn't match the navy tee, I liked the extra shade of blue it added to this outfit with the tee and the blue Converse.

Last worn: frill sleeve tee, station necklace, green floral midi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty.

Other ways to wear: frill sleeve tee and pink shorts, green floral midi skirt and band tee, blue Converse and denim dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and maxi dress.

Chloe Small Paraty: Review and What's In My Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

Another skirt and Converse outfit, and again with the green and blue. This jacquard pencil skirt is a slightly warmer one being a thicker fabric, which I needed for spending the day working in our coldest office. The blazer I just wore for these photos and to combat the freezing aircon in the office, as it was such a hot and humid day. This spaghetti strap cami and pencil skirt felt much too hot for the heat outside, even without the blazer, but I enjoyed being layered up with the blazer at my desk.

I really liked this mint cami with the navy blazer and skirt. I scored the blazer at the opshop last year knowing I'd be in the office a little more this year, it's turning out to be a really good buy!

As above, while the Chloe periwinkle Paraty doesn't match I think it compliments the darker shades of blue in this outfit nicely.


Last worn: navy blazer, beaded necklace, mint cami, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty (above).

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and floral dress, mint cami and denim skirt, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, black Converse and jeans, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Printed Tanks and Pencil Skirts In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

More office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, brightening up some neutral jersey pencil skirts with colourful printed tanks, my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and some casual Converse.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Picked a very casual outfit for visiting one of our offices that is always extremely cold with the aircon. It was a hot heatwave day, so a light tank and a jersey pencil skirt were all I needed, but I appreciated the orange blazer in the office, and I packed a scarf in my bag too for when it got really cold in the aircon!

I felt the blazer and the navy statement earrings dressed up the casual outfit a little for another day in the office. I really liked the Luna blue Edie bag against the grey skirt an the blue in the printed tank too.

Didn't add a necklace, as I had the tassel earrings, and I felt the printed tank and orange blazer were enough of a statement on their own.

I much prefer this outfit to this one, when I wore the grey skirt and printed tank together but added a matching grey blazer. It's so much more fun with the orange!


Last worn: orange blazer, navy tassel earrings, printed tank, grey pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, printed tank and maxi skirt, grey pencil skirt worn two ways, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey pencil skirt in third trimester, black Converse in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Blouse: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

First time I wore this silk tank Sheila gave me I worried about it getting stained being around little kids so much - not so many worries about that when I wore it to the office! This black pencil skirt goes with everything, but I thought that it matched particularly well with this top because of the tassels and black stripes. Again I didn't wear a necklace, I felt it would compete with the tassels on the top.

The blue Edie shoulder bag doesn't match the blue in the print, but I thought it was close enough that the bag was a good accessory with this outfit.

Wore my casual Converse with this outfit for the office - they are comfortable for a long commute and I don't want to overdress, the majority of ladies in the office are wearing their Converse too!


Last worn: mixed print top, black pencil skirt, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mixed print top and jeans, black pencil skirt and navy blouse, black Converse and midi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black pencil skirt in second trimester, black Converse in second trimester.

Printed Dresses and Converse In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

A couple office outfits with blue printed dresses for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I'm one of the lucky ones who has a home office and experience working from home before the pandemic. While my company has moved to hybrid ways of working, there are no mandated office days so my team mostly works from home. 

I'll be sharing a few more office outfits now though as with some new work that came into the team, it's been better to be in the office with everyone more often.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: French Connection blue Paisley print dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

This is one of the first "office dresses" I bought myself to start my job in the company I'm still working for all these years later! I love it, although I'm a little sad it predates the blog as I haven't hit 30 recorded wears with it yet. Having owned it a few years before I started blogging though, I'm sure it's well over that number, just not all documented.

Added the navy blazer on top to try make it a little more formal as we had some higher-ups in the office, and I love the print mixing of the gingham cuffs with the paisley print of the dress. The little floral hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag was a bit more print mixing. I wasn't sure it worked well with the dress, but I wanted this little bag to give me something to smile at as I sat at my desk all day!

My office was on the casual side of business casual even before we switched to mostly working from home, so the Converse seemed like a good shoe choice - and I liked the matchy-matchy of the blues of the shoes, dress, and blazer together. Seeing all the other ladies in the office in Converse except one, I was happy I made the right shoe choice!


Last worn: navy blazer, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, Tiffany 5th Avenue heart necklace, French Connection Paisley print dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff floral hand painted MAB.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and green dress, French Connection Paisley print dress and belted cardigan, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff floral hand painted MAB and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: French Connection Paisley print dress in second trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Target navy and white striped shift dress with frill sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

This was a much more casual outfit! I did think about a blazer to make this more formal, but it would have covered up the cute frill sleeves on this dress. I added the statement necklace to dress it up a little, I really liked the pop of turquoise against the navy dress. Again I went with the comfortable Converse, although I changed up my bag and picked this desert rose Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag instead.

I only need small handbags for work as I carry a separate (work issued) bag for my work laptop too.

Unlike the day in the office above, this was a quiet one with just myself and another member of the team, working together to progress and plan out some of the new work, so I think this casual dress was perfect.


Last worn: earrings, frill sleeve navy stripe dress, turquoise statement necklace, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: frill sleeve navy stripe dress and scarf, Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and denim skirt.

Printed Dresses and Pink MAB Crossbody Bag

Sharing two very different printed dresses I wore recently, with sneakers and the little Rebecca Minkoff desert rose studded MAB crossbody bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Even though I tried to make this more causal with the Converse, it's a lot dressier than I'd normally wear for a pool party! But we had lunch after our dip in the pool so I thought this was the best option, and I was looking forward to wearing this coral print midi dress again.

While it was another hot day, this dress was nice and light and a good cover up for my swimmers. Kept it simple with no necklace so I didn't have to worry about one in the pool, and the print is interesting enough I didn't feel I needed extra accessories. I'm pleased I gave the little studded MAB bag a go with this - I wasn't sure how the dusty pink would work with the coral floral print on the dress, but I liked the two together. And I just needed a little bag for my essentials as I had a big beach tote for all the swimmers and towels.


Last worn: coral floral print midi wrap dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and denim skirt. 

Other ways to wear: coral floral print midi wrap dress and clutch, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and navy dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester

---

Reveal: Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

With a slightly cooler start to the morning and a few rain showers, I got overly excited and thought it was the perfect chance to wear this navy blazer for the first time. I got it at the opshop back in December in anticipation for going into the office more this year, but hadn't had a chance to wear it yet. We had a few errands to run in the morning, a quick stop by a friend's place to wish her happy birthday, and then I was working from home for a while before heading out to the library in the afternoon.

I quickly realised how silly I was to layer up this dress for summer though when we got to my friends house - the rain cleared up and it was so hot, I discarded the blazer for the rest of the day!

I did like the matchy-matchy of the navy blazer with the navy sneakers, and I always like wearing blue with this dress, just definitely too warm a day for such an outfit.

Just like the first outfit, I wasn't sure about this bag against the print of the dress. Again I'm glad I gave it a try. Like all the other times I've tired this floral print dress with pink bags, I really liked the result!


Last worn: floral print shift dress, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody (above). First time I've worn the blazer at it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: floral print shift dress worn as a top, Sketchers sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral print shift dress in second trimester.

Blazers and Jeans With Striped Tees and Mini 5 Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing a favourite Spring outfit combination again! Topping my skinny jeans and tee outfits with colourful blazers, and my adorable little Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This blush blazer is such a nice shade of pink, it added a nice touch of colour to the monochromatic black and white striped tee and faded black skinny jeans outfit. I still felt the outfit was lacking some colour though, so I tried adding a brighter pop with this deeper pink mini 5-zip bag, and I really loved it against the blush blazer!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for what has become a regular day - the school run and working from home. I like how the blazer dressed up the jeans and tee a little.

Last worn: blush blazer, beaded necklace, stripe tee, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn 2 ways, stripe tee and shorts, faded black jeans and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester.

What Fits Inside Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 

Why I wore it:

While this is a very monochromatic base outfit, with the white and grey striped tee and the grey skinny jeans and white Converse, I felt this was a very colourful outfit just because of the bag and blazer. Orange and yellow together really packs a punch! Without the bright orange blazer this outfit felt a little plain, the blazer and bag lifted it perfectly I think.

I love yellow and grey together so this bag was the best choice for that alone. I also really like orange and yellow, although I haven't worn it too many times, so this outfit was a nice way to try that combination again.

A bright and cheerful outfit, for again working from home and doing the school run. We also had an appointment for my son after school. Unfortunately my latest library book read doesn't fit in this little mini 5-zip bag, but although we got there a little early, we were actually called in as soon as we sat down to wait, so I hadn't even needed a book anyway!


Last worn: orange blazer, grey striped tee, stone pendant necklace, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-Zip bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and pencil skirt, grey striped tee and vest, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-Zip bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey striped tee in second trimester, Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Adding a blazer over a jeans and tee outfit is a nice way to add a little extra warmth to your outfit on a spring day. It helps your outfit feel a bit more polished and pulled together too, and can be a good way to add more colour.
