Cardigans, Converse and Colourful Jeans With Striped Tees And Yellow Bags

Proper autumn weather in Brisbane meant getting out my knits and jeans! I have quite a collection of colourful jeans, and I like them as an alternative to the traditional blue denim. While both of these outfits are very different colours, I like the fun yellow bags with both.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! While there was the usual routine of the school run and working from home for me, we had a few errands to run in the afternoon, and we had a big makeover of the stick insect enclosures at home that evening. That was the only time I regretted wearing this cute grey cardigan, as the ties on it kept getting tangled up in the branches and leaves! It was just the perfect light weight for the rest of the day, just got a bit messy at home that evening!

I think this is the first time I've tried the trio of orange and pink and yellow together. I really like yellow and pink together, the mustard bag looks so good with the magenta jeans. I thought the orange striped tee would be a fun touch with the magenta, but you really don't notice it too much. It made this colourful trio a lot more easy to wear, it didn't feel too bold!

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

I needed this cosy black cocoon cardigan in the morning, but later in the day it had warmed up enough that I didn't need it! I left it in the car when I took a little break from working from home to go see my son get an award at school in the afternoon. While the green jeans and the yellow bag are quite a bright combination, the navy striped tee was a good neutral. 

Looking at the photos though, I probably should have tried tucking this tee in. These jeans are low waisted so I don't do that too often, and with the long cardigan I thought the tee untucked would work better, but if I wore this again I'd definitely tuck in the tee at the front.

Cosy Cardigans and Skinny Jeans With Pink Tanks

Pink tops, skinny jeans and cosy cardigan outfits for work recently. One day working from home, the other in the office. Both outfits are accessorised with my beautifully hand painted mini MAB tote bag, which goes perfectly with pink even though there is no pink in the design.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
TopAsos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

I think this outfit will be as close as I ever get to monochrome white! Since autumn temperatures arrived in Brisbane at last I have been embracing all my jeans, and this white pair especially. I was so excited to get theses jeans from my mum for Christmas and had so many outfits in mind for them, just had to wait for the perfect weather. They have been on frequent repeat lately. I wasn't sure if the white leopard print cardigan would be too much white with these jeans, especially with the white Converse too, but I think that the bold pink tank and the lilac necklace added enough colour in-between that this really worked.

I really enjoyed this cosy cardigan for the school drop off in the morning, and working from home. I didn't need it in the afternoon though, it warmed up nicely and we spent a little time at the playground after school and ran a couple of errands too.

Might be the first time I've ever tried leopard print and florals together, and I'm glad I did as I really liked this combination.






What I wore:


black outfit, floral bag, Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Willow & Thread hot pink tank from Sheila's wardrobe
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

A much darker outfit this time with the black skinny jeans and black cardigan. Still went with white sneakers though. These Adidas Superstar ones were an opshop find, as was the cardigan. I don't think that the photos do this outfit justice, it kinda looks a bit like a black blob, but I adored this cosy cocoon cardigan and black jeans combination. The hot pink tank, a gift from Sheila, was the perfect pop with this. And it was such a surprise to get into the office and realise that all the ladies in my team were wearing black and pink or black or pink that day - unintentional matching!

I always like taking this little hand painted bag to the office, it's so nice to stare at on my desk all day.

Leopard Print and Denim Outfits For Autumn With Magenta Marc Jacobs Bag

Sharing two different outfits I wore, one with a skirt and the other with a dress. Both are following a leopard print and denim formula, just with different pieces. And the magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag was the perfect accessory with both.


What I wore:

navy tee and sneakers with moto denim jacket and leopard print skirt | awyafromblue

leopard print skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

I really liked the darker bag and navy tee with this leopard print skirt! I knew when I bought it earlier this year it would layer nicely for cooler weather, and the denim moto jacket was the perfect topper as it wasn't a very cold autumn day. I liked the little matchy-matchy with the navy sneakers and the navy tee too! Needed the sneakers for a little bit of driving around. We had the school run, I had to work from home, and then a few errands to run after school pick up.

Because of the tassels on this skirt I didn't think a long necklace looked quite right, so I went with these two Tiffany ones instead, I really like wearing them together.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, Tiffany heart necklace, Tiffany notes heart necklace, navy tee, leopard print skirt, Sketchers, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

When I bought this leopard print cardigan in the opshop back in March it was much too hot to wear it - but I'm glad I've been able to give it a wear now we are starting to see some proper autumn weather in Brisbane. It was just the right layer to add over this sleeveless denim dress to keep me warm on the school run in the cooler morning.

As it was a little chillier than I expected it to be when I'd pre-planned this outfit, I added the tall leather boots to keep my legs warm as well. With them and the cardigan I was nice and cosy.

Easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and then running errands in the afternoon once I picked up the kids from school. We had a special gift to collect for my mum for Mother's Day that weekend.


Last worn: silver chandelier earrings, chambray dress, tall leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch (above). First time I've worn the leopard print cardigan as it was a recent opshop find.

White Denim and Magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie Crossbody Bag

Taking the opportunity to make some white denim outfits a little more cosy with some special cover ups for a couple of different days recently. I accessorised both outfits with my little magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag.


What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very busy day! I'd finally gotten organised enough to sign up for a stall to sell some things from my wardrobe at Glad Rags Markets. I figured the awesome sequins from The Haus of Queenie would be a real conversation starter with everyone, and the outfit had plenty of admirers! I did get so warm setting up the stall I took it off for a little while, and as I was crawling around on the floor chasing a screw for one of my clothes racks I realised white jeans were maybe not the best choice!

I had a lot of tun though, and have booked a stall at a future market again! This little Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag was the perfect size for my essentials and a little bit of cash, although everyone that bought from me paid with card. My friend gave me a little payment reader chip for my phone that worked really well! I was pleased to see some of my accessories go so quickly, and I have a few ideas for changing up my stall next time.


Last worn: sequin kimono, heart studsnavy necklace, grey tunic, white jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag.

Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

Again with the white denim! I have been wearing this skirt so much since I bought it this year, it's the staple I didn't know I needed. With the simple printed tank it was a bit too chilly for school drop off on an autumn morning, so I added this cute cocoon cardigan I picked up from the opshop recently. Never worn, I knew I had to have it, especially as it was just $1. It was nice and warm for the cooler morning, and comfortable for working from home before picking up the kids in the afternoon. I like how the neutral black, brown tank and white denim skirt let the little magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag really pop.

30 Ways To Wear: Mustard Cardigan

Although it's been quite a warm spring so far here in Brisbane, I finally hit 30 wears with this yellow cardigan over winter and I've been looking forward to sharing a wrap up post of all the ways I've worn it. Even if I have packed my knits away already waiting for cooler autumn weather next year!


30 Ways To Wear: Mustard Yellow Cardigan


30 ways to wear a mustard yellow long cardigan awayfromblue 30wears challenge

Mustard is definitely my favourite shade of yellow! It's so versatile, and this cardigan is a nice cosy way to add more colour to a layered outfit on a cold day. I'm surprised it's taken me so long to hit 30 wears with it actually, I feel I wear it a lot!


Cost Per Wear

I have very good cost per wear with this cardigan. I've worn it 30 times and it was an opshop buy back in 2017. I paid just $2 for it. Such a good bargain find, although sadly that opshop has sold down as the charity sold off the building. It's down to just 6 cents a wear so far.

However, even better than the 6 cents cost per wear is the fact that this cardigan is from SES Fashion, an Australian fast fashion chain. Not only was it worn by whoever donated it to the opshop, but I've worn and loved it 30 times and I'm sure to wear it many more times! it's decreasing the environmental impact the more times I wear and enjoy it, instead of buying new. You can make your wardrobe more sustainable even if you have cheap fast fashion brands, simply by buying less and rewearing more often.

In saying that, it is just a cheap fast fashion knit. It's a lot baggier than it was when I first bought it preloved 5 years ago, and some of the stitching on the cuff and a shoulder is starting to come undone. It certainly doesn't look new, but it's still got plenty life left in it, even if I might have to patch up some of the stitching at some point in future. Here are the 30 ways I've worn it so far:


Mustard Yellow Cardigan With Blue

30 ways to wear a mustard cardigan with blue in your outfit | awayfromblue

Blue and yellow is a colour combination I love - and any shade of blue works well with this mustard knit! Such a bright cheerful yellow, and something in my favourite colour (blue!) is a sure way to make me love an outfit.


Yellow Cardigan Worn With Neutrals

If you're not sure how to wear a bright block colour cardigan like this, try neutrals! Black, white and grey are a failsafe outfit base for a bright knit like this.

Mustard Cardigan And Orange Outfits

This is a particularly bold combination! While I don't like all the orange and yellow outfits I've created with this cardigan, I do love those second too, with the orange in the print of the tank and dress. Something I want to wear more of, the citrus brights are great together.

Yellow Cardigan Worn With Grey

Grey is easily my favourite neutral to wear with yellow. Mustard and grey are so good together, as you can see I've worn these grey skinny jeans with this cardigan a lot!

Wearing Green With Mustard Yellow Cardigan

5 green and yellow outfit ideas with mustard cardigan | awayfromblue

Green is something I've eased into wearing with this cardigan. I like the bright green jeans with it on a day I want to be especially bold, but for a less in-your-face outfit, you can try it with olive green, that works equally well.


Print Mixing With Block Colour Yellow Cardigan

Winter means scarves and knits, and with this being a solid block colour piece it lets me try a little print mixing with the rest of my outfits, from a striped tee or dress, even those chevron print jeans. I've worn the pink and yellow skull scarf with this cardigan a few times as I like the matchy-matchy of the yellow.


Dresses With Mustard Cardigan

3 outfit ideas for dresses with a mustard yellow cardigan | awayfromtheblue

It's not just jeans I wear my cardigans with! A long cardigan like this is a nice topper over a printed dress - and perfect with tights or leggings in winter to make your outfit warmer. Although I've only won it the once as you can see in that first outfit, a cardigan looks great belted over a dress.


Shorts and Cardigan Outfits

3 ways to wear a mustard yellow cardigan with shorts and tee | awayfromblue

When the weather is right it's good to bare some skin, and a cardigan over a shorts and tee outfit is ideal as you can easily take the cardigan off and stick it in your bag if the day warms up more than expected!

Navy Stripe Outfits and Olive Mini Darren Crossbody Bag

Wearing my recently purchased Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag again, with some navy striped outfits. I really like the way the little olive bag looks with navy!


What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

I figured I'd give this mustard cardigan another wear for spring before it warmed up too much. Ended up taking it off at school pick up in the afternoon, as it turned into a really nice day. Did love the pop of colour it added to the navy stripe tee and black skinny jeans in the morning on the school run though! I like how the little olive micro Darren bag looks against the mustard too. Wasn't sure what necklace would work with this outfit so picked my classic turquoise tassel one - turquoise goes with everything!

After dropping the kids off at school I had a couple of errands to run before working from home. Then after picking the kids up I took the little one to an appointment and we drove down the coast to see my parents for a bit before heading home for dinner. Despite being a little too warm in the cardigan in the afternoon for school pickup, I did really like this comfortable jeans and tee outfit for all the running around.

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

I overdressed for this day too! It was a cold and cloudy morning with a bit of rain, although the sun started to peek out just as I took outfit pics before we left. I'd planned to wear a short sleeved dress but thought this long sleeved navy and white stripe one would be better, with all the rain predicted. We stopped by a little open air market in the morning, hoping to get in before the rain came back, but as we were walking around the clouds cleared and it was so hot and sunny. I regretted going for the long sleeve dress!

Thankfully the library was our next stop and was the perfect temperature with the aircon. It was a good place to cool off at before a trip to the playground (and a little bit of time hunting for some leaves and sticks to redo our insect enclosures again).

As I had a big reusable tote for collecting sticks and carrying water bottles, I stuck with this little mini Darren bag I'd been using the day before. I did spend some cash at the markets though and quickly realised I need to use a coin purse if I'm going to put change in this bag! The leather is unlined so it's quite floppy and a few coins spilled out when I set the bag down on a bench at the playground.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and olive look so good together! If you're unsure about trying blue and green, you could pair a little olive accessory like this mini bag with navy and white stripes, like I have in these outfits with the tee and dress.

Cardigans and Culottes With Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Can't believe it's October already! While I have made a start on some Christmas shopping and covered off the basic things I get every year like clothes and books, I always like to get some fun things just to make people smile. Gifts like a custom pet portrait of our dog Cooper for my husband, and a cuddly little mantis for my insect loving son. I find gifts for dog lovers so fun to shop for, one year I got my husband custom pet socks with Cooper's face on them that were adorable! My kids have a couple dog tees, and cuddly toys, and of course I have a couple of necklaces with our dog's little fuzzy silhouette on them. 

I'm looking forward to Cooper's portrait arriving as it will look so good next to a Shih Tzu print my mum gifted us a couple years back for our new house. I've also been buying a few things for myself while shopping for others, like this handbag.


What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Short: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Just the usual working from home, but also doing parent teacher interviews with the kids teachers in the afternoon. It was a mix of in-classroom and over the phone interviews, so I wanted to be comfortable but not too casually dressed for the in-person ones. I have worn this pink tee with these Kmart culottes before, I really like the pink and navy together. I felt the navy waterfall cardigan made it a little more formal than just the shorts and the tee alone, and was a good cosy layer for the afternoon meetings as well when it got cooler. And it was extremely comfortable for working from home - I spent my lunch break browsing a few more online shopping sites looking for the perfect Christmas gifts!

While there is some lighter blue in the print on the culottes, it doesn't really match the darker Luna blue of the Edie shoulder bag. I still thought it was a good accessory with everything though, this bag just goes so well with other shades of blue.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, pink tee, circle necklace, Kmart printed culottes, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print

BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above so much, I repeated it again! This time a white v-neck tee, with another pair of Kmart printed culotte shorts. I thrifted these a while back for just $1, such a lucky find. The mustard yellow cardigan was an opshop find too! I wore it to keep cosy on the school run and while working from home, and also to be noticeable when surprising my kids at a performance at school. It was so hot though, squished in the crowd of parents watching, that I ended up having to take my cardigan off. Had to wave quite a bit until the boys saw me but they were so happy when they noticed me in the crowd.

Unlike the outfit above, there isn't an abundance of navy that makes the outfit look more coordinated, but I still feel everything goes together well. The pastel shorts look so good with the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag. The white tee and mustard yellow cardigan, while they also don't match, just flowed nicely with everything else.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, white tee, pastel culottes, Stan Smith sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wearmustard cardigan and printed tank, white tee and blazer, pastel culottes with lilac, Stan Smith sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and orange maxi skirt.


How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a staple for warmer weather. For those in-between seasons, you can try adding a cosy and colourful cardigan on top, before spring temperatures really arrive.
