Blue Dresses With Wine Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Wearing two different blue long sleeved dresses with sandals, and my wine purple small Chloe Paraty bag. The deep purple just works with any shade of blue!


What I wore:






EarringsMichael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesLes Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack on other arm
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day. We did have to vote in the morning, but afterwards the kids and I headed out with my mum and sister for lunch and a little start to Christmas shopping. It was really good to spend time together, and avoid the rain as we shopped inside.

The Chloe small party was a good bag to wear as it fit all my essentials plus a water bottle as it was quite a humid spring day in Brisbane. I've worn this dress and bag together before, although there isn't any purple in the autumn leaves print of the Jaase dress I feel the darker shade compliments the autumn colours nicely.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, For King & Country necklace, Jaase Celine dress, leopard print sandals, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearJaase Celine dress and denim jacket, leopard print sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and maxi skirt.






What I wore:






Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

I took the opportunity to wear another of my blue long sleeved dresses before the weather heats up too much in Brisbane. This denim dress is not something I'll get a lot of opportunity to wear over the warmer summer unfortunately.

Again I wore the same Chloe purple Paraty bag. I like the darker bag against the paler denim of this Target tiered dress. Even if I didn't need to carry more than the essentials with me, it's not an overly large bag so it's nice even on a day I only need to bring the basics with me.

It was grandparents day at church so they had a special Grandparent's picnic morning tea afterwards that the boys really enjoyed, it was so sweet to see them picking the perfect picnic basket!


Last worn: gold earrings, Target tiered denim dress, braided sandals, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearTarget tiered denim dress and leather jacket, braided sandals and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Blue Tees, Black Jeans and Printed Cover Ups

Two jeans and tee outfits with Converse, and Cotton On cover ups for working from home and school run days.


What I wore:




JacketCotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

It was a bit of a warm day but I reached for this long sleeved cover up as I spent most of the day inside working from home. I did regret my choice of cover up at school pick up, the appointment the boys had after school was cancelled so we ended up playing in the park after school instead and I was quite warm. I did appreciate it at sports in the evening though. Despite being liberal with the bug repellent I like to have a physical barrier against the mozzies too!

I liked this blue tee with the printed waterfall jacket, as the lighter blue of the tee almost matches the lighter blue in the print of the jacket. I really like a bit of matchy-matchy!


Last worn: floral waterfall jacket, blue tee, metal necklace, black jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wearfloral waterfall jacket and shorts, blue tee and maxi skirt, black jeans and leather jacket, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This is a bit of a monochromatic outfit! the faded black skinny jeans with the navy tee looks very similar in shade to the navy background of the printed cover up. I liked the combination though, it created a more muted outfit. Perfect for the school run and another working from home day, with an appointment for my son after school. That was not postponed this time!

While the chevron print on the cover up is a lot brighter than the picture seems to show, I think from a distance the finer print makes it seem less colourful. I added the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little extra colour as well, and I liked the darker bag with this outfit.

Pre-Loved Printed Pieces & Purple Paraty Bag

I've been opshopping a lot recently and while I've been focusing at picking up more books to read forgot myself and the boys I can never resist a little browse of the rest of the store!

On my last trip I thrifted both of these fun printed pieces, the Paisley print cover up as well as the black and white printed maxi skirt.


What I wore:





 
Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster (new purchase)
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
TankJeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Royal Lilac purple
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

It was a warmer day so I dressed simply for the school run and working from home, with the singlet and denim mini skirt. I thought with the purple in the Paisley print of this cover up that this purple tank would look great with it, the shades are a pretty close match! I really liked the two pieces together, great first wear of this newly thrifted printed cover up.

I added more purple with the Chloe wine purple Paraty. It's a different shade from the others but I liked it with this outfit and the colours in the print, I thought it worked so well. Added the big gold necklace to match with the statement gold hardware on the small Chloe Paraty bag.


Last worn: purple singlet, double circle pendant necklace, denim mini skirt, leather Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearpurple singlet and shorts, denim mini skirt and florals, leather Converse and dress, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple singlet in second trimester.





What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Another working from home day, minus the school run as it was a pupil free day! I had a couple errands to run in the afternoon after work, but again just wore a simple singlet with the heat. For the first wearing of this black and white printed maxi skirt I thought I'd keep it simple and neutral with the metallic silver tank, and went a little matchy-matchy with the black sandals and the black statement necklace. Both those accessories are opshop finds too!

Did want a little more colour with this outfit when I put it on though so again I wore my small wine purple Chloe Paraty bag. I liked the darker purple against the neutral black white and silver outfit.


Last worn: metallic singlet, black statement necklace, Chloe wine purple Paraty (above). First time I've worn the skirt and the sandals as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wearmetallic singlet and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty and dress.

Maxi Skirts, Navy Tees, Denim Jackets and Chloe Paraty Bag

Some spring maxi skirt outfits I wore recently, both with navy tees, denim jackets and blue bags. Both of these skirts were opshop finds.


What I wore:






Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This cotton maxi skirt was awesome on this hot day! It has pockets too which is always a winner. I wore it with another thrifted piece, this foil tee. I needed the denim jacket in the cooler morning, although when I was running errands later I'd taken it off, as the day warmed up so much!

The boys had a kid's birthday party and I also had a lot of errands to run. I wore the Chloe Paraty bag as I like the light periwinkle blue with both red and navy, and because it has room for all the essentials plus my latest library book for when I was waiting for an appointment between errands.





What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

This orange maxi skirt is on that is frequently worn with blue. I like the navy tee with it, it's the first time I've worn the two together surprisingly. The denim moto jacket is a frequently worn piece with this skirt though, they look so good together.

Just like the day above I didn't need the denim jacket all day though, with the weather warming up nicely as the kids had a sports session.

The Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag added another shade of blue to this outfit and also has space for all my essentials plus my latest library book so it was an obvious choice to carry.

Thrifted Printed Dresses And Purple Paraty Bag

Two more summer-ish outfits, with these thrifted printed dresses. I wore these at the end of winter, when Brisbane forgot about spring and swapped to hot and humid summer temps. It was nice to get these dresses out without all the layers!


What I wore:





Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals (recent purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wore this for working from home with the school run, and watching my son get some awards at school. It was such a got day so this light floral dress was ideal for the humidity. It was a good chance to wear these sandals for the first time too. I thrifted them back in July, when it was firmly winter in Brisbane, and I've been waiting for a chance to the weather to warm up to wear them. They are very cute and comfortable.

With the light floral dress, wooden beaded necklace and bracelets, the purple Paraty seemed a bit dark with all the lighter colours and neutrals, but I'm so glad I picked this bag. It works well with the colours in the floral print of the dress and it fit all the essentials plus my camera for taking photos at the award ceremony.

Also, with the Chloe Paraty bag being a preloved buy, everything I'm wearing in this outfit except the bracelets is a second hand purchase!


Last worn: floral dress, neutral beaded necklace, wooden bracelets, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they were a winter opshop find.

Other ways to wear: floral dress and blazer, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans.





What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Dressthrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Like the sandals above, this dress was also a winter opshop find. I did try layer it up for the colder weather but it didn't really work. I much more enjoyed this way of wearing it. It was a super hot day and we headed out to a local festival. Lots of walking and time in the sunshine, so this light and floaty smock dress was perfect. I added the Sketchers sneakers for comfort for my knee injury when walking, and I have to confess I liked the matchy-matchy with the blues in the grid print of the dress and the blue beaded necklace.

Again I wore my Chloe purple Paraty bag. I like it with blues and just like in the first outfit, it fits all the essentials and then a little extra so I had space for water bottles as well.


Last worn: blue beaded necklace, checked smock dress, navy Sketchers, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wearchecked smock dress and winter layers, navy Sketchers and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

Orange Tiered Dresses, Denim Jackets and Chloe Periwinkle Paraty Bag

A surprising burst of summer-like weather at the end of winter in Brisbane had me reaching for dresses and lighter jackets. Both these orange tiered dresses were perfect for the surprisingly hot winter days I wore them on.


What I wore:







Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
DressJeanswest Lilah tiered linen dress in orange
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This was the first day of summer-like heat in winter, so I knew a linen dress would be a good choice but thought I might be a little cold without the denim jacket. It ended up warming up so much that I had the denim jacket off for most of the day! The linen dress was a good choice.

I liked the bright orange background of the dress as the blue toned beaded necklace looked really good with it, it's one of the necklaces I thrifted recently. And with the pale blue denim moto jacket the Chloe Paraty seemed like a nice choice. Even though the shades of blue are different they are close enough together that I really like the pairing. And this Chloe Paraty bag is just the right size for the essentials plus my latest library book that I took along to sit on the side lines of my son's sport sessions. Thankfully that was in the morning, before the day heated up too much.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, orange linen dress, leather Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag. First time I've worn this necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and printed skirt, orange linen dress and tote bag, leather Converse and striped dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.





What I wore:






Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

I've been wearing a lot of orange and blue again lately, and as I liked it in the first outfit I wore the combination again a few days later! This tiered midi dress is a firm favourite, especially with blue! The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty and the darker wash denim jacket both look really good with this shade of orange.

I added this recently thrifted necklace too, I like the little mint beads against the orange dress more than I thought I would. Nice and simple outfit, where I again ended up discarding the denim jacket later in the day as it was so warm! I was working from home and then taking Coops to a vet appointment over lunchtime.

Floral Dresses, Trench Coats And Purple Small Paraty Bag

Felt like I'd been wearing a lot of jeans this winter, so changed it up a little and layered these Kmart floral midi dresses with trench coats and tall boots for days in the office recently. Despite the different colours in the dresses, I wore my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with both.


What I wore:




JacketJeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly the first time I've worn this teal dress with the purple Chloe Paraty bag before! I was sure this wasn't a new combination and one that I'd worn before, but a quick search through the blog proved otherwise.

I really liked the teal floral print with the purple bag, especially with the tall tan boots and the navy trench coat adding some neutrals.

Had a busy day with some time in the office then an appointment for my son after school pick up.


Last worn: navy trench, Tiffany necklace, teal floral midi dress, tan boots, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wearnavy trench and jeans, teal floral midi dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.





What I wore:






Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:


Decided to tie the neckline on this pretty floral midi dress up, which meant I accessorised with some statement earrings as the bow at the neck didn't really need a necklace. I liked how the turquoise in the earrings is a close match to the blue in the print of the dress. 

The tan trench coat and again the tall boots were definitely needed on this colder morning. It was an early start for a big day in the office, so a lack of sunlight for the photos sadly, hard to see how cute this dress looks belted!


Last worn: camel trench, statement earrings, black floral midi dress, tan boots (above), Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Maxi Dresses and Denim Jackets With Chloe Purple Paraty Bag

Denim jackets again! I've been making the most of wearing them in the early days of winter before it gets cold enough to need my winter knits and leather jackets! Using my classic blue denim jacket as a topper over both of these maxi dresses, which were opshop finds.


What I wore:




Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: thrifted black Jeanswest halterneck maxi dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

It's been far too long since I last wore this black halter maxi dress, so I took the opportunity to wear it out for lunch and a bit of shopping with my mum and sister. Making the most of the warmer day, I got to wear my sandals again, although I did have to cover up my shoulders with the denim jacket so I wasn't too cold.

The black jersey fabric looks great with everything being a neutral, but I liked the idea of the dark purple Chloe Paraty bag with this. The gold marble necklace doesn't have the exact same shade of purple in it, but I still really liked the accessory combination.


Last worn: heart studs, denim jacket, marble necklace, black maxi dress, wrap bracelet, crossover slides, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to weardenim jacket worn 30 ways, black maxi dress and kimono, crossover slides and printed dress, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancydenim jacket in second trimester, black maxi dress in second trimester.





What I wore:




Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wore the exact same combination with the denim jacket and another maxi dress again the next weekend. This was a much more colourful outfit with the bright geometric print on this thrifted maxi dress, but again I thought the darker purple Chloe Paraty bag was a good accompaniment with the dress.

It was a good size for containing my book to pass the time sitting on the sidelines at the kids sport, and also fit all my essentials plus a little bag of treats for when we took Bonnie to her first training class. When we adopted Cooper over 12 years ago, he was too old for the only classes I could find around which were all puppy classes. It was nice to be able to find a local class for Bonnie after we adopted her - she was surrendered to the shelter twice so definitely needed some help learning manners, 2 homes is a lot for a 1 year old pup! She's doing great with them and of course Cooper is loving the easy treats he gets when we practice at home as he knows all the basics already!

Orange and Blue Maxi Skirt and Denim Jacket Outfits

I really like orange and blue together, and recently ended up wearing the combination in both of these maxi skirt outfits.


What I wore:




Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Wanted something colourful and comfortable to wear for a busy day. While I was working from home this maxi skirt was comfortable, but with the blue tee also made for a very colourful outfit to ensure that my son could spot me in the crowd in the afternoon as he got an award at school.

With the blue and orange together, I wasn't sure what bag to wear and I thought I'd give this wine purple Chloe Paraty bag a try. I really liked the combination and I'll need to wear this bag with orange again in future!


Last worn: denim jacket, hammered circle necklace, blue tee, orange maxi skirt, Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

What I wore:




JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
CamiNew Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

This maxi skirt was maybe not the best choice for a cooler day - I forgot how tall the slit was and the slight breeze made me a little chilled! This maxi skirt is really better for warmer days. It worked okay for a weekend day with a couple of errands and puppy training class for our recently adopted pup though, as I was mostly indoors thankfully. 

Just like the outfit above, I really liked the bright orange with this lighter blue tie dye skirt. I definitely needed the denim jacket to cover up the spaghetti strap cami, and I thought the neutral white helped tone down the brightness of the orange. Along with the neutral accessories I chose as well, the pale necklace and the white converse and black Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I've worn this bag with the maxi skirt before and liked the combination then too.


Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, orange cami, tie dye maxi skirt, Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella.
