Waterfall Cardigans, Tanks and Dark Jeans With Chloe Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Spring officially arrived on the 1st September in Brisbane, but we still had a couple of cooler days at the start of September which gave me another chance to wear these cosy waterfall cardigans again, with some darker denim jeans and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very relaxed day! It was a pupil free day, so a morning free from the school run! I planned to work from home and take the kids to the library afterwards - this jeans and tank outfit was perfect, the cosy navy waterfall cardigan is so comfortable and kept me warm. My mum and sister looked after the kids when I worked and treated us to lunch which was nice, as well as taking the boys out for a few adventures.

I felt this satin pink tank was overdue another wear and I really do like it with navy! Added even more blue with the wooden bead necklace and periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag.

These charcoal Nobody Denim jeans go with everything of course, and I picked the New Balance sneakers for their support while driving around.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue tri colour wooden necklace, pink satin tank, Nobody Denim jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, pink satin tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink satin tank and hidden baby bump.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Top: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This is exactly the same cardigan as the one above, just in red, because I couldn't decide between the two colours when I bought them a few years back. I am glad I have both in my wardrobe, even though this red one hasn't been worn as much as the navy one above, that I've hit 30 wears with. I do love wearing this red cardigan with neutrals though to let it really shine! The brown printed tank was a great pairing with it, and the faded black jeans, a $1 opshop find, go with everything.

Again I went with sneakers, my comfortable Adidas Superstar ones, for the school run, helping in my son's classroom and a few errands after school. We had to go buy a few little special snacks for the upcoming playdate we had on the weekend.

Although the rose gold necklace is a different tone from the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I thought the two accessories worked well together, and I really liked the filigree heart with the brown print on the tank.

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, rose gold heart necklace, Sass and Bide printed tank, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, Sass and Bide printed tank and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy block colour cardigan is the perfect layer for those in-between seasons. A neutral like navy lets you pair it with brighter outfits, or you can go bolder with a red knit and stick to neutral shades with the rest of your outfit like I have in these two outfits.

Printed tops, Cardigans and Grey Jeans With Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sticking with a classic outfit formula and keeping the accessories the same, with my Chloe Marcie bag and Adidas Superstar sneakers, but these two outfits look a little different! Different printed tops and colours make these outfits feel unique when I just lazily copied the same outfit formula each day.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was actually a colder morning than I expected and I wished I'd picked a thicker cardigan with full length sleeves to wear. Thankfully it warmed up so much during the day though, in the afternoon I was even pushing the sleeves of the cardigan further up and considering taking it off. We had to get to school extra early in the morning, then I helped out in my son's class before working from home and doing the school pickup in the afternoon with a quick stop at the library on the way home.

I really like this fern print tank. The colours are so pretty together, and I felt it was overdue a wear! With the grey cardigan and charcoal grey skinny jeans I thought this tank would stand out a bit more, but I still really liked this outfit. The gold circle necklace and gold and black beaded bracelets were a bit of matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


Last worn: grey cardigan, gold circle necklace, leaf print tank, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and printed jeans, leaf print tank and pencil skirt, grey skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and florals.

Chloe Marcie Handbag Reveal:

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was another cold morning, but I definitely didn't need all these layers in the afternoon! The scarf came off pretty quickly. Had my usual jeans and tee outfit for working from home - so comfortable for winter! But added a little more colour with the diamond print scarf and the mustard yellow cardigan. 

I picked this mustard cardigan to wear not just because I love how it looks with the grey jeans, but also because it stands out, and I took a late lunch to surprise my son as he got an award at school. We are all so proud of him, he actually won two awards - one he was expecting and another one that was a surprise to him but we had known about for a while, so hubby and my mum came along too to share his excitement. So proud of him!


Last worn: mustard yellow cardigan, navy stripe tee, diamond print scarf, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mustard yellow cardigan and shorts, navy stripe tee and skirt, diamond print scarf and dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Cosy cardigans are nice layers with jeans in winter. If you go for a plain, block colour one like these grey and yellow ones, you can easily wear them with other prints without worrying about anything clashing.

Skinny Jeans, Pink Tops and Black and White Prints With Chloe Bags

Adding a little colour to black and white winter jeans outfits I wore recently, with some pink tees. Accessorising with my two most recently purchased Chloe handbags as well.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelets and rose gold bead bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

After I recently wore this cosy kimono and remembered how much I love it, I just had to wear it again! It was perfect for keeping me warm in the colder morning while we went to a kid's birthday party, although it was a bit warm in the afternoon when we went to the library and were out in the sun at the playground with all that black!

Because there was an organised activity at the party, the kids had a blast while I got to enjoy chatting to my friends, and of course there was plenty of food and delicious cake too. It was a good party for everyone.

This pink tee is one of my favourites and so was definitely due another wear! I considered a scarf but after it warmed up I was glad I'd picked the necklace instead. I thought the textured beads were a nice combination with the black and white design on the knit.

The Chloe Marcie bag was perfect for carrying all my essentials plus the kids water bottles too.

Last worn: knitted kimono, terrazzo bead necklace, pink tee, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: knitted kimono worn two ways, pink tee knotted over dress, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar and midi dress, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve tee in fuchsia
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another scarf-free day! This was an extremely warm winter day so I took the chance to wear this thrifted multi strand wooden bead necklace instead. With the black beads, black skinny jeans and black and white striped duster, I felt this bright pink tee popped even more than usual! It was a fun outfit for a quiet day - just the school run, working from home, a couple errands, and then sports in the evening. This duster is quite thin but polyester so it was perfect at keeping me just warm enough on the warmer day.

It's been a while since I wore this cute little mini Chloe Paddington bag I picked up at Glad Rags Markets - so since I didn't need to carry much I took it out for a spin. The lovely cream colour was another way to add a bit more lightness to the mostly black outfit.


Last worn: striped duster, black statement necklace, pink tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe mini Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: striped duster and dress, pink tee and printed shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, Converse and midi dress, Chloe mini Paddington bag and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped duster in second trimester, black Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Black and white are classic neutrals that go with everything! I like pink and black together and as you can see in these outfits, pink really stands out when worn with black and white printed pieces.

Floral Dresses, Denim Jackets And Knee High Boots

Layering up some pretty floral dresses for recent winter weekend birthday parties, with knee high boots and denim jackets. Accessorising with a couple of my Chloe bags too.

What I wore:

 

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this pretty Jasse dress for my son's birthday party! We had a kid's party entertainer from Fly By Fun again who was awesome at sticking to the theme and had all the kids and adults giggling along - such a fun morning! It was a gloriously sunny day and I ended up taking the denim jacket off - one the day warmed up I really didn't need it. I liked the length of the dress with the knee high boots, I definitely need to wear the boots and dress together more often.

Although it was just a birthday party in the park I tried to dress up a little with the statement earrings as it was a special occasion. I did feel a little overdressed after the party when we went to the library in the afternoon though!

Because I wanted to have my camera close by I picked this Chloe Paraty bag to wear again. The pale periwinkle blue shade looks great with the navy dress and it meant I had my phone and camera close by and easy to grab through the morning.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement gold earrings, gold charm necklace, Jasse autumn leaves dress, knee high boots, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Jasse autumn leaves dress and Converse, knee high boots worn 30 ways, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

While this outfit follows the same formula as the one above, I didn't like this as much! The statement fluted sleeves of this dress kept bunching up under the sleeves of the jacket so it wasn't the most comfortable. I really liked the colours though. The tiered mustard floral dress is great with the pale blue moto denim jacket and the tan of the boots and brown of the Chloe Marcie bag. However I was expecting the day to be similar to the day above, and super warm. I decided not to add leggings, as standing in the sun the day before in the navy dress I'd had to take my denim jacket off.

We went to a back yard birthday party though and the back yard was in shade that morning - I really wished I'd worn leggings! I felt much colder in this than the outfit above, even though I had a slip on under the dress, just because I was in the shade most of the morning. Cute outfit, just not the most practical for the day. My son had such a good time at his friend's party though, they had so many things set up for the kids to play with and enjoy, I really liked how it was organised!


Last worn: denim moto jacket, statement earrings, diamond necklace, mustard floral dress, knee high boots (above), Chloe medium Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and double denim, mustard floral dress and trench coat, knee high boots over jeans, Chloe medium Marcie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.

---

How You Can Wear It:

If it's not too cold, a denim jacket is a great layer over a cute floral dress to make it work into winter, especially when paired with knee high boots. Just maybe add some leggings if it's a very cold day, like I should have in the second outfit!

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklace, dark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and denim skirt, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, magenta jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Jeans and Blazers With printed Scarves and Chloe Marcie | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's weekday wear link up, sharing two jeans and blazer outfits I wore for some cold and wet autumn weather in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a dark outfit, but I picked everything deliberately to let the scarf be the pop of colour! I didn't really need the scarf during the day, I was just working from home, but I knew I'd appreciate the cosy pashmina in the evening when I went to a presentation by Justin Coulson (a parenting expert in Australia). It was nice to catch up with my friends kid-free although it was a little chilly so I was very glad I'd worn the scarf, with all the doors and windows open in the hall.

Wasn't sure if the space dye tee was too patterned to wear with the checked scarf, but gave it a go anyway as I thought it was a bit more interesting than just a plain black tee. I loved the tonal grey and black outfit with the purple scarf, and the Chloe Marcie bag was big enough for all my essentials, a bottle of water, and the parenting books I bought from Justin after his talk!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, black space dye tee, Nobody Denim charcoal jeans, Adidas Superstar, Chloe Marcie. First time I've worn the scarf as it was a summer opshop buy.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, black space dye tee and printed skirt, Nobody Denim charcoal jeans worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and shorts, Chloe Marcie and skirt.

Chloe Marcie Reveal

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: thrifted Kmart space dye cream and black longline top
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

My boss had a laugh at me all rugged up in this outfit when we had a video call. She's in another state and a much colder state so needing all the layers for 20 degree (Celsius) weather seemed a little overkill to her, ha! It was the first really cold weather in Brisbane for autumn though so I just wanted to be cosy!

Like the outfit above, I wasn't sure if the space dye tee would work with the grid print on the scarf but I liked the combination, I think it went well with the space dye effect. With the blush blazer and the black jeans and brown Chloe Marcie bag though, this is a very different outfit from the one above, where it was much more tonal and monochrome except the scarf and bag. I did like it, pink and blue are always a winner and although this blazer is a lighter one it was just what I needed for the school run in the morning and afternoon with the scarf.


Last worn: blush blazer, white space dye tee, blue grid print scarf, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie (above).

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn two ways, white space dye tee and shorts, blue grid print scarf and striped dress, faded black skinny jeans and floral print, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie and printed dress.

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

How You Can Wear It:

Blazers aren't just for the office! They can look great worn casually with jeans too, and a colourful scarf is always a good accessory.

Jeans and Tee Outfits With Printed Kimonos and Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing more autumn outfits with skinny jeans, sneakers, colourful tees, kimonos and my Chloe Marcie hobo bag. I love autumn days where a light layer like a kimono is all you need with a pair of jeans to keep warm.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a busy, but fun day! Had the usual school run, helping in my son's classroom, some time working from home before school pickup in the afternoon, and then shopping with my sister after I picked the kids up. We both only needed to grab a couple of things, but since she was near the bayside area she called and we decided to do our shopping together, and then have dinner. Was a very productive day.

With the deep purple tee and black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black Converse, this was looking like a very dark outfit! I thought that the Chloe Marcie lightened it up a little, as did the gold necklace which was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the hardware on the bag, even if it's slightly different shades of gold. I added the kimono to brighten the outfit up even more, although the purple tones in the tee and print are very different I thought they worked nicely together. Even if it was a little bit warm in the middle of the day, I was thankful for the kimono when things cooled off in the afternoon.


Last worn: purple printed kimono, slouchy tee, gold circle necklace, black Nobody Denim jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and shorts, slouchy tee over a dress, black Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Converse and navy dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: slouchy tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another working from home day while the kids were at school, and a very chilly start to the morning! I did wonder if this kimono was going to be warm enough, but thankfully the day heated up a little. Another pair of black skinny jeans as well - these were just $1 and in my size at the opshop so I couldn't say no! Good denim is hard to find, especially when you're petite like me so I was thrilled with these!

Added the bright red tee - very bold and colourful with the black - not just because it matched the red flowers in the floral print of the duster, but because it would help ensure my son saw me at school. He was getting given an award and I wanted to show up at the ceremony and surprise him. He definitely had no problems noticing me!

Ended up taking this bracelet stack off when making a lot of noise at my desk trying to type up meeting notes! But I did like how the faux pearls matched the freshwater pearls on my tassel necklace nicely, even if they weren't the most practical choice for a day at my desk with lots of note taking!


Last worn: tropical floral duster, red tee, pearl and tassel necklace, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag (above). First time I've worn these jeans as they were a summer thrift find.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and skirt, red tee and Bermuda shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers and culottes, Chloe Marcie bag and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Colourful printed kimonos are a great layer to add before the temperatures get too cold! They provide a lot of extra print and colour to a classic jeans and tee outfit.
