Jeans, Striped Tees and Colourful Cardigans With Chloe Small Paraty Bag

Skinny jeans, stripes, sneakers, and colourful cardigan outfits for winter days. I feel I wear jeans every single day, I've gotten a bit lazy with my winter dressing. At least the colour schemes of these outfits are a little varied!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I love purple and blue together, although this bright blue Louis Vuitton shawl does steal all the attention away from the cute purple cardi! Despite it being a rainy day it wasn't too cold - so this light cardigan over the navy striped tee was all I needed to stay warm. 

I had the school drop off, an appointment afterwards, and then worked from home until it was time to pick the kids up, and we had a quick shop at Kmart. Thankfully the rain stopped in the afternoon, although it was a little bit of a pain doing the morning drop off in the rain! This scarf is so good at keeping me warm though.

Wore my little Chloe Paraty bag in periwinkle blue, even though it doesn't match the navy stripes of the tee or the bright blue of the scarf, I thought it complimented those shades and the purple cardigan nicely. It also fit a library book for me to read while waiting at my appointment - had such a nice chat with the nurse about the kinds of books we like to read.

Last worn: purple cardigan, Louis Vuitton shawl, navy stripe tee, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: purple cardigan worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cardigan in second trimester, navy stripe tee in third trimester.

Chloe Paraty Bag Review

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a particularly windy day - perhaps a thicker cardigan may have worked better! Maybe even tying my hair back - the wind wasn't kind to it even though I wasn't outside long snapping these pics!

Another quiet day with the school run and working from home. I wanted to wear this mustard cardigan with the navy striped Coca-Cola tee - both were thrift finds from a sadly now closed local opshop. Surprisingly I haven't worn them together before! I felt they were a really good combination and added a lot of lightness to this outfit that would have been a bit neutral otherwise with the white Stan Smith sneakers and the grey skinny jeans.

Again, the Chloe small Paraty bag doesn't match any of the colours in the outfit, but I thought it complimented the mustard nicely.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, grey skinny jeans, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, Coca-Cola logo tee worn 2 ways, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Stan Smith sneakers in monochrome outfit, Chloe small Paraty bag and tiered dress.

How You Can Wear It:

A cardigan can add warmth and a little extra colour to a simple striped tee and jeans outfit in winter. A bright scarf can add even more colour too!

Winter Stripes, Jeans, Tee and Scarves Outfits

Some uncharacteristically muted outfits, after the past few posts of bold and colourful winter layers! Muted tones and neutrals all just layer so well for winter though. And it was a very cold couple of days in Brisbane! Both of these outfits feature jeans and a tee, with a cosy scarf and some stripes.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! My eldest son had a playdate at his friends house with his best mates while my youngest son and I spent time with my mum and sister. We didn't have a lot planned for the day, just went out to a few of the school holiday activities that the local shopping centres had organised, while ticking off a few errands. It was more the company that made it fun! My family stayed over for dinner too which was really nice, so my eldest could have some time with them after my friend dropped him back from his playdate.

It was a very uncharacteristically cold day so I wanted all the layers - this navy waterfall cardigan looks good with the pink tee, and the black and white printed scarf adds a bit of extra interest and print to the outfit too while keeping me warm. The faded black jeans and black New Balance sneakers were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black stripes on the scarf too. The Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag doesn't really match any of my outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the muted colours and I can easily fit a snack and water bottle in this as well as my essentials for the day.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, striped scarf, pink tee, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, striped scarf and yellow, pink tee and shorts, faded black jeans and blazer, Chloe Paraty bag and sundress.

Chloe Small Paraty Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and pink cheetah print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Another outfit with all the layers - although this thin striped duster wasn't as warm as the thick waterfall cardigan I wore above, it was a day where I wasn't outside as much. We had another school holiday playdate at home in the morning, and then a trip to the library in the afternoon. It was quite nice sitting in the sun in the backyard in the morning, especially after the frantic tidying up the house we did before our friends came over had me feeling warm! Although in the afternoon at the library I wished I'd maybe worn a cardigan instead of this duster, or a long sleeved tee underneath as it was a bit windy.

I wasn't sure what scarf to wear with this - with the deep purple tee and black and white stripes and grey skinny jeans I thought about a brighter colour, but in the end I went with this leopard print one that is quickly becoming my go-to scarf for winter! I really like stripes and leopard print together.


Last worn: striped maxi cardigan, leopard print scarf, deep purple tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped maxi cardigan over a dress, leopard print scarf and purple cardigan, deep purple tee over a maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and denim skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and shorts. 

Perfect for pregnancy: deep purple tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Printed scarves are a great addition to jeans and tee outfits in winter! You can print mix with them like I have in the second outfit, or let them be the only printed statement in your outfit like I have in the first photos.

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.

My Chloe Handbag Collection:

---

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!

Yellow and Blue Kimono and Denim Outfits With Blue Bags : Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, another couple of loosely connected outfits - both are blue and yellow and feature kimonos, denim, Converse and blue bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Top: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a quiet day with the kids - our regular library run for more books, and a little time playing at the playground too. I was surprised to realise that I hadn't worn this yellow tank with this blue printed kimono before! Blue and yellow is a combination I enjoy wearing. It was a warm day so a tank and kimono was a good choice with the denim skirt.

Added even more blue with the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag and the blue Converse. None of the shades match but I find all shades of blue go with each other!


Last worn: blue printed kimono, mustard yellow tank, navy beaded necklace, distressed denim skirt, Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono and pink shorts, mustard yellow tank and printed culottes, distressed denim skirt and leopard print tee, Converse and midi skirt, Chloe small Paraty bag.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Top: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

A very bright outfit! One of my friends remarked how bright I was looking - deliberately picked this to go surprise my kids at sports day at school. I figured they wouldn't miss me standing on the side lines in this yellow kimono! it added a nice burst of colour to this silver metallic tank too.

Just like the outfit above I went with denim again - these Bermuda denim shorts are a staple every summer. Added more blue with the beaded statement necklace and the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. My Converse were a comfortable choice too although I did regret them a little - no problems with the school run or working from home, but when I made it to sports day the ground was still very very wet and muddy from the floods and I ended up squelching in a few puddles, ugh! Maybe gumboots would have been a better choice!


Last worn: yellow printed kimono, silver tank, blue beaded necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: yellow printed kimono and olive shorts, silver tank and denim skirt, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, black Converse and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and yellow is a nice combination together - blue accessories work well when you have any pieces of yellow in your outfit, like the yellow tank in the first outfit or the yellow kimono in the second outfit.

Floral Print Dresses and Chloe Paraty Bag For Kids Birthday Parties

Two very fun floral dresses for two very fun weekend days, at kids birthday parties! Despite the different colours in both dresses this small periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag paired nicely with both.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for my son's first school birthday party! We'd invited the whole class so we could get to know everyone outside of school pick up times, and as they'd started school in February, my son was still learning the names of everyone in his class. We had it at our local park and I got an entertainer from Fly By Fun to keep the kids amused with party games and magic tricks. He was awesome and all the kids loved having a ninja at the party, especially my son!

It was a funny day where it was supposed to rain (and had stormed a lot the evening before) so it was touch and go if the park venue was going to go ahead. Luckily there was not a drop of rain all day, although it ended up being very hot and humid. This teal maxi dress was a nice light option for such a hot day, and since it doesn't have pockets I picked my Chloe Paraty bag to wear as it fits all the essentials and my camera as well. Had to have my phone nearby in case people had trouble finding our party. We had it at a bigger local park that wasn't damaged by the floods like the smaller venue we picked and had on the invites, but it meant there were a lot of parties going on in different areas! We put our bubble machine on to help people find us that worked well too.

It was such a fun day - my son loved having all his friends there and it was nice to meet some of the parents of children my son plays with at school that I'd never met before! I'd been a little worried people wouldn't be able to find us, or we would be rained out, or I wouldn't have enough food or party bags, but it all went perfectly on the day.

Last worn: teal floral maxi dress, gold charm necklace, gold bracelet, studded sandals, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: teal floral maxi dress on Christmas day, studded sandals and little black dress, Chloe Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: Shein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for another kid's birthday party! We had a busy morning with books due back at the library too, and since it was such a hot day and a backyard party I wanted a nice dress that would cover my shoulders in the sun. While it's long sleeved this viscose dress swing dress is nice and light so it was good in the heat. I wasn't sure if this beaded necklace would be too much with the dress but I think it worked well with the colours, and it worked as a conversation starter at the party as I hoped it would! The party was really well organised and my son had a great time playing with his friends from school.

I picked my Chloe Paraty bag to wear again as it fits all my essentials and my son's water bottle. Although the rose gold sandals are a different gold tone I liked that they were a metallic like the hardware on the bag too, for a little bit of almost matchy-matchy.

Last worn: navy floral swing dress, blue earrings, statement beaded necklace, rose gold sandals, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy floral swing dress and blazer, rose gold sandals and orange dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and printed shorts.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Floral dresses are an easy one-and-done outfit for a birthday party. Maxi dresses and swing dresses in lighter fabrics are lose and comfortable enough for hot autumn days that really feel more like summer!

Hope you have a wonderful Easter if you celebrate!

Knotted Tees Over Tiered Sundresses With Chloe Paraty | Weekday Wear Link Up

Making spaghetti strap sundresses work for autumn by knotting some colourful tees over the top - easy outfits!

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school run, working from home, and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. With the mask rules being lifted in Brisbane so we can walk on the school grounds without masks, I was happy to wear these pretty statement dangly earrings. Of course I realised when I got to the doctors that I forgot I'd have to wear a mask for the appointment as it's a healthcare setting, oops! A little tricky with such statement earrings but I was just super careful putting the mask on and off.

I absolutely adored this outfit - even though the shades of pink in the tee and in the floral print of the dress are very different. I think having the matchy-matchy of the turquoise tassel earrings and beaded necklace pulled it all together perfectly, and I'll have to try those two accessories again!

It's not the first time I've worn the Chloe Paraty with this dress - I like the two different shades of blue together, just like the two different shades of pink above. I've modified the strap so that it's really easy to take on and off the bag too. As you can see in the photos though I didn't realise I'd accidentally hooked the strap onto the ring of the zipper instead of the ring on the side of the bag - I quickly noticed walking around that the bag wasn't sitting right and fixed it before I went too far!


Last worn: pink v-neck tee, turquoise tassel earrings, turquoise necklace, blue tiered sundress, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink v-neck tee and printed jeans, blue tiered sundress and denim jacket, Converse and midi skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's In My Chloe Small Paraty Bag

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated it again a few days later with a different v-neck tee and a different Kmart tiered sundress. Sometimes it pays to buy things in multiple colours! I liked the extra touch of colour the lilac tee gave to this little black printed dress. Again I went with the Chloe Paraty bag - although it doesn't match anything in the outfit it goes with so much and I like blue and purple together.

Wore this for a fun playdate with the kids that didn't quite go to plan - I usually try get there early to get a nice spot in the park to setup our picnic blanket, but we were super late for this one and my friends had been quite worried until we eventually turned up! Had to cut it short because of the rain too, as a little shower set in about an hour after we arrived. All the more reason to organise another playdate in future - that we hopefully won't be as late too!


Last worn: lilac tee, pearl tassel necklace, black tiered sundress, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: lilac tee and culottes, black tiered sundress in winter, Chloe Paraty bag and midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

When the weather cools in autumn or spring, you can make your summer sundresses go a little further by knotting a tee over the top. It can be a great way to add more colour to a neutral dress too, like I've done in the second outfit.

V-Neck Tees and Maxi Skirts With Chloe Paraty Bag

Another post with two different outfits from one very simple outfit formula: v-neck tees and maxi skirts! Accessorised with Converse and my little Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag. Perfect outfits for busy autumn days.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school run, helping in my son's classroom, working from home and then a couple of errands in the afternoon including haircuts for the boys. It was a humid autumn day so this light ochre maxi skirt was perfect. Every single time I wear this skirt with stripes I comment on how good it looks, and this is no exception! I really liked this outfit! I couldn't decide on a necklace to wear that morning when I remembered this awesome one I thrifted last year, it was such a good finishing piece for this outfit and I like how it matched the gold hardware on the little Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag too.

Comfy shoes were a must with all the running around so I went with my trusty Converse again.

Last worn: navy striped tee, heart studs, gold circle statement pendant necklace, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy striped tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and band tee, white Converse and navy dress, Chloe small Paraty bag with midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester..

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Skirt: thrifted navy viscose drawstring no label maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I love blue and purple together, so I'm surprised I hadn't worn this lilac tee with this navy maxi skirt I thrifted a while back! It is definitely a good combination of colours and pieces. Again I went matchy-matchy with the accessories, with this navy and gold beaded necklace and navy tassel earrings. Just had to wear my statement dangly earrings since the mask rules at school are lifted and we no longer need to wear a mask when picking up or dropping off our kids. I will of course wear a mask indoors and in crowds, it's just nice to break out the earrings again and not have to wear masks walking on the school grounds.

After the school run I had an appointment and then working from home before picking up the boys in the afternoon, and sports in the evening. Yet again I went with Converse for all that running around!


Last worn: lilac tee, navy tassel earrings, blue and gold beaded necklace, navy maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: lilac tee and leopard print, navy maxi skirt and printed tee, blue Converse and dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Both v-neck tees and maxi skirts are wardrobe staples for me! they are great to mix and match in mum outfits. You can try different colour combinations or like I have in the first outfit, use a stripe tee to add a little extra print to your outfit. It's a simple go-to mum outfit formula for a busy day.
