Pink Tiered Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket

Wearing this navy suede moto jacket as a cosy topper with these pink tiered dresses to make them a little warmer for winter.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

This was my outfit for the Barbie movie! It was so much fun, we went as a big group to the premiere at the local cinema, and I loved the movie. Of course we had to get dressed up in pink! I knew this dress would be the one I'd wear right away although I did have to wear a slip underneath and add the suede moto jacket and tall leather boots to keep me warm for the late night showing. This was a really quick outfit to get together when I got home from work before dashing out to the cinema.

I knew for the Barbie movie I'd need some fun accessories - with the big statement necklace and the statement padlock on my little Chloe Paddington bag I think they were perfect for the evening.

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I wore this for another morning at the local markets, selling more of my wardrobe. I ended up in a really good location under the shade, which made it a bit chilly, but meant I did manage to offload quite a few scarves, haha! I had a slip under this tiered maxi dress and I knew the suede jacket would keep me warm for the morning too. I had my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers for all the running around setting up and then dismantling my stall.

I did make a couple purchases from some other stalls with my takings - one particularly cute pair of earrings, but I'll need to make a note of the lady's business name next time I go back as I didn't write it down unfortunately. I did have a lot of success with my stall though, always good to make more space in my wardrobe!

Chloe Marcie Bag With Skirts, Ankle Boots And Wine Tops | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing these two similar outfits I wore recently. Both have boots, skirts, wine tops, an extra layer, and my Chloe Marcie bag. But they look very different!


What I wore:

leather jacket, ankle boots, animal print skirt and burgundy knit | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut with leopard print skirt | awayfromtheblue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket (new purchase)
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was a very cold morning for the school run and I regretted the decision to go bare legged and not add some leggings under this skirt! The burgundy knit was an opshop find and is a polyester knit, so I thought it would keep me warmer than it did, even with the leather jacket on top. While I thrifted the jumper a while back, I've just been waiting for the right weather to wear it and I knew it would look so cute with this leopard print skirt.

The leather jacket was a recent buy from the Gladrags market I went to in May - I spent some of my takings in some other stalls, and for $30 I was not going to pass up this buttery soft leather jacket. It came in handy with the cold weather snap in Brisbane. Even if it did warm up massively by school pick up in the afternoon, where I left the leather jacket at home, pushed up the sleeves on my knit and was grateful I hadn't added leggings that morning!


Last worn: leopard print skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the knit as it was a summer purchase, and first time I've worn the leather jacket as I bought it recently.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and teeblack ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancyblack ankle boots in second trimester.


The Latest Addition To My Handbag Collection:






What I wore:

Chloe Marcie medium bag over the shoulder with denim jacket | awayfromblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! I started work a little later so I could join my youngest in a special free play day at school. It was so good seeing him running around playing with all his friends, even if I did spend a little too much time dodging tennis balls and basketballs on the courts, he had a blast!

As it was a cooler morning (thankfully not as cold as the one above) I layered up this ochre maxi skirt with my classic denim jacket and my tan ankle boots. I liked this deep orange skirt with a burgundy tee last time I tired the combination, so thought I would give it a go with this tee. It's really more purple than burgundy - wine is a very fitting name for the colour - but I still enjoyed this combination, especially with the extra pop of colour from the yellow tassel necklace.

The Chloe Marcie always looks great with a denim jacket, and I needed something big enough to hold a water bottle as I followed my son around all the different fun stations set up around the school.

Floral Print Dresses With Boots and Cream Chloe Paddington Bags

Two floral dress outfits for autumn with ankle boots and little cream Chloe Paddington bags. One outfit for daytime, the other for a rare date night evening out.


What I wore:


autumn leaves print dress, Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus silver vintage charm bracelet
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

Given that this dress is called the autumn leaves print I figured I should give it a wear in autumn! With the ankle boots it was perfect for lunch with my family down the coast. I thought that the cream beaded statement earrings were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the little Chloe Paddington bag too. The cream is a very different shade from the whites and peaches in the dress print, but I still really like this bag and dress together.

As we were just heading down the coast for lunch and I didn't need to carry much, this little bag was perfect.


Last worn: Jaase tiered dress, cream statement earrings, tan ankle boots, Chloe small Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearJaase tiered dress and leather jacket, tan ankle boots and midi dress, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.


My Chloe Handbag Collection:







What I wore:


black dress, Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic | awayfromtheblue


JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: embossed tan leather belt from my Mum's wardrobe
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic


Why I wore it:

Date night outfit! I layered up with the tall leather boots and the leather jacket over this fun floral print dress. It is on its seventh wear, which is giving me great cost per wear as it was a $2 Kmart clearance find last year! I wanted to dress up a bit with a dress, but also wanted to be warm, so this was the perfect outfit.

We had a bit of an early date night for our wedding anniversary, enjoying dinner and a little stroll along the river (the leather jacket was definitely a good choice!) before enjoying a show at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. It was a lot of fun to go out kid free for a night. I dug out my old Chloe Paddington clutch bag - I wore this on my wedding day, and it has so much sentimental value, even if it's been a while since I last wore it.

It's definitely a date night only clutch - barely fits my phone, some cards and lipstick in it, as it's from pre-smart phone days, haha!


Last worn: spiral earrings, Jeanswest leather jacket, Kmart Wisteria print midi dress, belt, tall leather boots, Chloe Paddington clutch.

Tiered Dresses And Statement Necklaces With Chloe Purple Paraty | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm wearing my Kmart tiered dresses again with sneakers and my little purple Paraty bag back during warmer days when autumn still felt like summer.


What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia with orange necklace and purple paraty bag | awayfromblue

fuchsia pink dress with Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

We had a lot planned for this day! Taking advantage of the school holidays we were able to visit my family, and attend a birthday party for one of the kid's friends. I'd picked this dress to wear as I needed something comfortable for a lot of driving and because my knee brace fits so easily under this dress. Definitely thankful I had picked sneakers to wear, as we got caught in traffic on the motorway and almost missed lunch with my sister it took us so long to get to her place! Luckily we made it to the afternoon party on time after being a little late for lunch, but it was definitely a car heavy day!

I like pink and purple together so this purple Paraty was an easy choice with the fuchsia pink tiered dress. The pink resin earrings are a little hard to spot with my hair but I thought went well with the dress even though they are very different shades of pink. I added the statement orange necklace for another pop of colour. I liked how none of the accessories matched but they all looked good with the pink dress.


Last worn: pink resin earrings, peach necklace, fuchsia tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearfuchsia tiered midi dress in winter, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe purple Paraty bag and florals.


What Fits Inside a Chloe Small Paraty Bag:






What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets, converse, and purple chloe paraty bag | awayfromblue

Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple with navy dress | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was a really warm autumn day! I'd normally throw a blazer over a casual dress like this to go to the office, but it was just too humid that morning to consider it. I thought the fun colourful tassel statement necklace helped dress this up a little in the absence of the blazer. It was a quiet day in the office also, with none of the big bosses in so I felt comfortable in a simple dress and Converse.

Purple and blue is another combination I love, so this purple Paraty was an equally good choice with this navy dress as it was with the bright pink one above.


Last worn: tassel necklace and pink, navy tiered dress, blue Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearnavy tiered dress and duster, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and denim.

Coral Kmart Dresses and Chloe Ethel Bag For Kid's Birthday Parties

Wearing my two coral dresses from Kmart for kids birthday parties one weekend - it was a busy weekend with a party each day! With the bright coral in both dresses, I went with a neutral bag, my Chloe small Ethel in light khaki. It's such a roomy bag and this neutral shade goes with everything.


What I wore:

Kmart red flora printed wrap dress with studded sandals and Chloe Ethel bag | awayfromtheblue

Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki worn on arm | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus gold leaf cuff
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Not the first time I've worn these Rebecca Minkoff studded gladiator sandals with this dress, I like how the neutral shoe lets the dress have all the attention. I added a few gold accessories with the earrings, which you sadly can't see in the pics because of my hair - gold necklace and this gold cuff.

I thought the gold accessories matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag nicely. It's the perfect bag as despite the small size it holds so much!

Was a busy morning rushing around getting ready for the party, but then a fun afternoon watching the kids run around and of course eat way too many lollies!


Last worn: earrings, charm necklace, coral floral print wrap dress, studded sandals, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wearcoral floral print wrap dress and pink bagstudded sandals worn 30 ways, Chloe small Ethel bag and jeans.


What Fits Inside: Chloe Small Ethel Bag





What I wore:

coral tiered dress with Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace (new purchase)
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

A very comfortable and practical outfit for another birthday party, at at indoor play area. Adidas Superstar sneakers for all the running around between the party area and where the boys were playing, helping the kids find their friends and giving them water too.

I thought that this recently thrifted yellow necklace would be a nice pop with the coral dress - I like all of the different yellow beads in it with the silver tassels. I added the silver statement earrings too, so I'd feel a little dressed up for the party.

Again I went with my Chloe Ethel bag - this bag is perfect for holding all our water bottles.


Last worn: silver statement earrings, coral tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe small Ethel bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop buy.

Camis and Maxi Skirts With Chloe Marcie Bag

Two maxi skirt outfits I recently wore for a couple of different days. Both outfits feature pre-loved pieces, with lucky opshop finds and this Chloe Marcie I scored preloved on eBay last year.


What I wore:

blue and orange outfit with chambray cami ochre maxi skirt chloe marcie shoulder bag | awayfromblue

chambray cami, Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromblue


Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! We had a birthday party at an indoor play area to attend, and it was such a hot and humid day I was glad we were just going from one aircon at home to the aircon at the party! Still wore some nice light pieces, with this thrifted ochre maxi skirt complimenting the blue of this chambray cami perfectly. It was good to finally get a photo without covering up the straps on this cami too, I really like the cute tie detail, even if one of the bows I tied kept coming undone every time I shoved the Marcie bag on my shoulder!

Needed the big Chloe Marcie bag for the kids water bottles though, there were so active for the whole party and needed a lot of water, especially as the aircon wasn't working properly at the venue. Or maybe the day was just too hot for it. I was glad I hadn't added an extra layer over my shoulders with this outfit!

I really liked the matchy-matchy of the accessories with the turquoise and gold statement earrings and the beaded necklace together, I'm going to have to repeat this combination of accessories again!


Last worn: statement earrings, chambray cami, beaded necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearchambray cami and denim, ochre maxi skirt in winter, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and floral maxi dress.


My Chloe Handbag Collection: Past & Present






What I wore:



Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Top: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Another hot and humid day, so again a simple cami and a maxi skirt. This maxi skirt has some lovely slits up the side that allowed for the breeze to cool me down a bit on the school run, which was much appreciated.

The pinks in the cami top and the floral print of the maxi skirt are quite different. I thought that they still worked together though, especially with the blue beaded necklace matching the different blues in the print nicely.

Again I had my big Chloe Marcie shoulder bag. It was a standard weekday with the school drop off, and working from home for me before school pickup in the afternoon, but we also had an appointment for my son in the afternoon so I needed a big bag to carry his water bottle around for that too.


Last worn: dusty pink cami, wooden bead necklace, floral maxi skirtHavaianas (above), Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

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:

navy tee with daisy print green floral midi skirt converse chloe paraty outfit | awayfromblue

green floral midi skirt with Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  in crook of arm | awayfromblue


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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe 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.




What I wore:

navy blazer with mint cami jacquard pencil skirt and converse chloe paraty office outfit | awayfromtheblue

jacquard pencil skirt and Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe 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 wearnavy blazer and floral dress, mint cami and denim skirt, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, black Converse and jeans, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and shorts.

Striped Tees and Denim Skirts

Hot days at the end of summer recently called for a simple striped tee and skirt combo! Both of these outfits are the same basic pieces but the different striped tees, denim colour, and accessories changed up these looks a bit.


What I wore:


Chloe periwinkle small Paraty | awayfromtheblue


Jacket
The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty 


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a really fun day with the kids - we went to Sea World theme park for the day. It was such a hot and sticky day, it was no surprise when it started raining. I'd packed the kids waterproof jackets, although I'd hoped I wouldn't need an umbrella so foolishly didn't bring one. It was a warm enough day that we weren't cold getting wet in the rain, and we were able to go on a lot more rides when the rain started as it got quieter in the park.

The printed cover up was a fun bit of print mixing with the orange striped tee, I liked the matching colours in the print. While it was a nice physical sunblock in the morning, it wasn't the best to wear in the rain as it just got wet and stuck to me, ha! But I kept it on as it did dry quickly in between the rain showers.

Despite the rain we had a wonderful day, saw some shows, lots of cute animals, and of course went on so many rides. I was glad I'd worn my Sketchers sneakers. While they are fabric and were not the best in the rain, they were comfortable and supportive for my knee with all the walking around we did.


Last worn: printed cover up, orange stripe tee, stone pendant necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Sketchers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearprinted cover up and dress, orange stripe tee and button up skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Sketchers and shorts, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

*************

What I wore:




Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was a pretty quiet day with the school run and working from home. Surprisinly I hadn't worn this denim skirt and striped tee toeghet before, seems like such an obvious combo! I wasn't sure if it seemed a bit too monochromatic white after I beleached this skirt - but it felt just blue enough that there was a difference between the white stripes and the bleached denim so I gave it a wear. I felt that the purple Chloe paraty bag added a big enough pop of colour with those light colours in my outfit too, and the big red logo on the tee.

This was super comfortable for a day with the school run, and working from home while the kids were at school.

Last worn: striped Coca-Cola tee, denim mini skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag.
