Two Ways To Wear Blue Leaf Print Maxi Wrap Skirt

I recently picked up this beautiful blue leaf print warp skirt at the opshop, for just $1! While it's winter in Brisbane I was eager to wear it as soon as possible. I set myself a goal of wearing everything I wear twice in the month I buy it, and luckily I was able to layer up this skirt to wear it twice this winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: thrifted Country Road grey crew neck tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This grey tee is also an opshop find! I knew with this colourful printed wrap skirt a plain grey tee would make a great neutral pairing with it. I added the cobalt leather jacket for extra warmth for the school run, especially in the morning. I really liked this first wear of this skirt, it is definitely something better suited for warmer weather though!

With the blue Converse and blue necklace, blue leather jacket and blue printed wrap skirt this outfit really needed another colour so I added the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for that. I like purple and blue together, and as I didn't have to carry much this was a good bag choice to hold the essentials.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, stud earrings, blue necklace, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac. First time I've worn the wrap skirt and the grey tee as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket worn 30 ways, blue Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: handmade pink and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I layered up this skirt a little more the next time I wore it, with this cosy berry seam detail knit. The jumper is also another recent wardrobe addition, although one I bought new from the store. While I liked the lilac Polene Numero Neuf bag with the first outfit, I liked the brighter pinks with this blue skirt too! I added lots of shades of pink, with the berry pink of the knit, pastel and bright pink in my handmade beaded necklace, and bolder pink in the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. To make sure I kept warm I added the leather jacket, and then these Acne Pistol boots that have been sitting in my wardrobe for far too long and were definitely overdue another wear. It was a great outfit for church, although I did shed the denim jacket when the sun came out later in the morning and it warmed up.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement earrings, berry seam detail knit, Acne pistol boots, blue wrap skirt (above), pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, berry seam detail knit worn 2 ways, Acne pistol boots and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester

Denim Jackets and Dresses With Blue Bags and Converse

I wore this Kmart denim jacket with denim dresses, blue Converse, and blue Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, although I did regret not packing leggings to wear with it! This was during our little staycation at Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast. I picked this dress as it packs well, the viscose doesn't crease easily and you can't see any creases that do form with the excess fabric, the tiers and the print. With the long sleeves I was hoping the denim jacket would be enough to keep me warm on the short walk from our hotel room to one of the hotel restaurants.

It was later in the evening, after dinner, where I'd wished I'd had the leggings, as we spent some time outside before heading back to our rooms. Thankfully being winter the staff had a few fire pits setup so I was warm sitting in front of them, but cold for the short walk back to the room.

The blue Converse and blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag were what I'd worn around the theme park earlier in the day - I just tried to dress this up a little with the necklace, then I didn't have to pack any extra accessories.


Last worn: denim jacket, rose gold glitter necklace, Jaase Celine floral dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine floral dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and pink dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart tiered little black dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

This little black dress is a recent opshop find, and like all the new fashion additions to my wardrobe, I was eager to wear it twice in the month I bought it. It meant layering it up a little for this very cold morning where I had a couple of errands to run. I added the leggings and the fun heart print scarf. Although the scarf was really for a bit of colour and print as much as warmth! With the black dress and black leggings the outfit needed the scarf for a bit more colour, the blue Converse and light denim jacket weren't enough of a boost, even with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag for a little more colour I felt a scarf was needed.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was how the dress stuck to the leggings - I am looking forward to warmer weather where I can enjoy this dress without the extra layer! The leggings were a practical choice in the cold though.


Last worn: Anko denim jacket (above), heart studs, heart print scarf, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag. It's the first time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Anko denim jacket and skirt, heart print scarf with red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag and shorts.

Two Ways To Wear Kmart Berry Pink Seam Detail Knit Jumper

This Kmart berry seam detail knit jumper is the only new (not pre-loved) piece I bought last month. I saw it on sale in store near the checkouts and couldn't resist picking it up. I'm such an impulse shopper sometimes! I've enjoyed wearing it so far, it's nice and cosy for Brisbane's winter days.

In both of these outfits, I've worn the pink jumper to the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
Knit: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This leather moto jacket was an amazing preloved find at the fashion markets a while back and I love it in winter, it's got really spacious sleeves so it's easy to layer a knit jumper like this underneath it.

With the cosy jumper on top and the leather jacket, I decided to wear this pretty maxi skirt. It is light and one I wear in summer as well, but with the cosy top layers I wasn't too cold in the early morning commute to work. I wore pink Converse although the shades of pink are different from the knit, I thought a little extra colour was needed with all the black.

I wore the Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC for a touch more colour as well, I liked how well it matched this new beaded necklace I made.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, silver hoop earrings, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it, and knit as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and dress, black maxi skirt and blazer, pink Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

For another office day, I again wore this berry pink seam detail jumper with a skirt. A pencil skirt this time, and I went with purple accessories. I really like pink and purple together. Although the purple resin floral statement earrings and the plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote are different shades of purple, I thought they were far enough apart that they worked well together in this outfit with the pink jumper.

I wore this navy suede jacket to match the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt, and of course I needed some fleece lined tights for the cold commute, even with ankle boots I needed my legs covered up! Just like above, I really liked this outfit, it was another good way to wear this berry jumper.


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, purple resin flower earrings, berry seam detail knit jumper (above), navy jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and dress, navy jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

Green Jeans, Striped Tees And Cocoon Cardigans

On some warmer winter days recently I just needed these light cocoon cardigans over my jeans and striped tee outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a few errands to run and it was quite a sunny morning, so I just added this lightweight cocoon cardigan. The cardigan was an opshop find, one I'm always glad I picked up. I was hoping for good opshopping luck as I had a few bags of donations to drop off that morning. Of course I walked away with a few opshop scores for myself too after dropping things off and having 'just a little browse'.

I like the simplicity of this outfit - the teal jeans are a good pair with the navy and white striped tee, and the white Converse was a little bit of matchy-matchy with that. Nothing else matched, with the navy stripes in the tee and the black knit cardigan and tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag, but I liked how all the neutrals looked together.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy and white striped tee, mixed metal necklace, teal jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and pink jeans, navy and white striped tee and shorts, teal jeans and blouse, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mossimo black and white striped v-neck tee (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I don't normally wear a lot of neutral outfits, but here's a second neutral outfit in a row, with a black and white striped tee and olive jeans with the black Converse and the grey duster cocoon cardigan. The cardigan and the striped tee are both opshop finds.

Although I usually like adding a little extra colour to my outfits with accessories I decided to stick with the neutrals with this one. The black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag goes with everything and I really liked the neutral beaded necklace against the black stripe tee.

As you can see from my post of the 30 ways to wear these olive jeans, I wear them with black a lot, but this is the first time I've worn this particular tee with them as it's a recent opshop find. I really liked the combination, good for another quiet weekend day with a few errands to complete.

Last worn: grey duster cardigan, neutral beaded necklace, olive jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey duster cardigan and skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester

Kisschasy Band Tees, Skinny Jeans, Converse and Grey Cardigan

Two very similar outfits, with the same cardigan, jeans, shoes and bag and Kisschasy band tees for a staycation at Sea World resort recently on the Gold Coast over the winter school holidays.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our trip down the coast and to spend the day enjoying the theme park. I knew that it would warm up during the day so I thought this light grey cardigan was all I would need. And although I didn't warm up enough to take it off it was a good layer to have. Had so much fun with the kids going on all the rides, making the most of them being a little taller than out last visit and being able to go on all the rides they wanted.

The little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC was all I needed to keep the essentials handy. I had a big reusable tote for everyone's water bottles and some snacks for through the day.


Last worn: grey belted cardigan, Kisschasy band tee, zip detail jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and dress, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, zip detail jeans and pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Early morning view from our balcony before day two of theme parking - kicking off with a buffet breakfast that honestly isn't the best way to start a day of multiple rollercoaster rides, ha! Although it did mean we were still so full at lunchtime we could just treat ourselves to ice cream for lunch.

Again I wore the same grey cardigan as I had the day before, along with the zip detail skinny jeans, and blue Converse and same blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really simplified packing by bringing as few things as possible. Although I expected this day to be cooler it really warmed up so much, I did have to take the cardigan off a couple times during the day.

Since I'd worn a Kisschasy band tee in the outfit above, and I wanted to simplify packing, I decided to make it a band tee weekend, and I wore this other older Kisschasy band tee I have. I liked it with the blue converse and mini MAC bag.


Last worn: grey belted cardigan (above), blue Kisschasy band tee, zip detail skinny jeans (above), blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and pink jeans, blue Kisschasy band tee and skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and trench, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC and shorts.

Floral Print Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Two outfits with floral print dresses, Converse, a navy suede moto jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag for some different days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I really like this navy suede moto jacket paired with this navy and white floral print tiered dress. I wanted to be dressed up but not too cold for a day off where I attended an award ceremony for a family member. I thought a denim jacket or leather jacket would be too casual, this jacket seemed perfect for the formal event. I did go with casual Converse though as I had to drive a bit and while boots would have looked more formal, I had to consider my knee with all that driving.

I didn't need to carry much, just the essentials, so I went with this little black Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag. It was perfect for the basics for the ceremony and then going out for brunch afterwards.

Went a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on the bag with the gold charm necklace and gold stud earrings. I layered up some gold bracelets too but you can't see them with the long sleeves on the dress and long sleeves on the jacket covering them up.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, heart stud earrings, charm necklace, navy floral tiered dress, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and jeans, navy floral tiered dress and denim jacket, Converse and shorts, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was unfortunately not a day off! I had to head into the office, again leaving before sunrise so sorry for the low quality photo. Since I liked the navy suede jacket with the floral dress in the outfit above so much I wore the formula again on this day with this Kmart teal floral print midi dress. I really like this dress with shades of blue, so I added blue converse with the navy jacket. I went a little matchy-matchy with the teal earrings but unfortunately they are hard to see in the photo.

Again I wore my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. It's great for all the essentials and I have a big work-issued laptop bag I can slip my water bottle and lunch into.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket (above), teal tassel earrings, teal floral midi dress, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket with pink, teal floral midi dress and blazer, blue Converse and skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Green and Grey Jeans and Tee Outfits With Rebecca Minkoff Knit Ruana Poncho

Keeping warm in Brisbane's winter weather by layering up my working from home jeans and tee outfits with this cosy black and white Rebecca Minkoff Ruana. I've been wearing it a lot recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted blue knotted beaded necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee

Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I was working from home on this day, but first there was a breakfast event at my sons school to attend. It was a bit of a cloudy day and threatening rain, but that made it feel a little warmer so this Rebecca Minkoff knitted cover up was all I needed to layer over my grey tee and green jeans outfit to stay warm. I wear this knit a lot with grey tees, it's a good neutral option. 

I did decide to add more colour to this with the accessories, with the blue beaded necklace (as a recent opshop find), and the blue Converse and periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag. It's a great bag for all the essentials plus a little more.

Thankfully the heavy rain held up until the kids were in class and I was back at home to work.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, blue stud earrings, blue beaded necklace, grey tee, green jeans, blue Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, grey tee and skirt, green jeans worn 30 ways, blue Converse and dress, Chloe small Paraty bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

Another green and grey outfit with this Rebecca Minkoff black and white Ruana as a topper! This time it was a green tee and grey skinny jeans with white Converse. I added the beaded necklace for a little extra interest, and I liked how the white string matched the white Converse and the white thread in the knit, and the faux pearls matched the earrings. I've been enjoying this necklace since I made it from leftover beads after trying to repair a thrifted necklace that fell apart.

I had a big bag this time, this vintage Mimco button bag, as I had some documents to carry around. While I was working from home I used my lunch break to attend an appointment that I needed some paperwork for, and this bag fit it all nicely. 

Really appreciated this cosy knitted cover up in the evening too when the kids had sports, it kept me so warm!

Blue Knit Jumpers With Scarves and Black Jeans

Two more knit jumper outfits, with black skinny jeans and scarves. One I wore to work from home, the other I wore in the office.

What I wore:

Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

I wore this to work from home back in the holidays. I logged off in the afternoon to take the kids to a STEM class at the library, they really loved it! It was a colder day so I wanted to be warm, and this blue marle jumper was due another wear. It's a piece I thrifted a few years ago, and I've gotten more than 30 wears out of it, definitely a good opshop buy! 

I wanted to skip wearing a jacket, but still be warm, so I added this leopard print scarf. And the brown Converse were an attempt to be a bit matchy-matchy, even though they are a different shade of brown from the leopard print in the scarf. I added more colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag, and also picked it as it fits all my essentials plus a couple of water bottles, perfect for when we went out in the afternoon.

Last worn: blue marle jumper, leopard print scarf, skinny jeans, brown Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: blue marle jumper worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and tee, skinny jeans and graphic tee, brown Converse and dress, purple Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Jumper: thrifted blue Kmart stitch detail knit
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This blue knit seam detail jumper is also an opshop find, although I haven't hit 30 wears with it! I do enjoy wearing it and just bought a similar one in pink in the Kmart clearance recently. Again I wore it with black jeans, and instead of a printed scarf I wore this bright yellow one. With the blue jumper, blue denim trench coat, and Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, I felt like I needed an extra colour in this outfit to brighten it up a bit. And blue and yellow look so good together.

Even with the jumper and the jeans and the denim trench and scarf it was a bit chilly, one of those really cold winter days. I was glad to reach the office that morning!


Last worn: denim trench, yellow scarf, blue seam detail jumper, Nobody Denim Siren jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench and dress, yellow scarf and LBD, blue seam detail jumper and pink jeans, Nobody Denim Siren jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and skirt.

Red Tees and Black Cardigans With Skinny Jeans

Just like in my previous post, wearing red tees again! This time paired with black knits and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee 
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

I love how blanket-like this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana is! The black and white print means it goes with everything, and jeans and a tee is a bit of a staple for me in winter, especially paired with this cosy topper. It was a nice easy outfit for working from home, with the school run and then the end of term wrap-party for sports in the evening. I just wrapped the knit around me to keep me warmer at night!

I did take a big book along with me to the party, it was a party for the kids, so I just had to sit on the sidelines. I needed a big bag for it and this Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag was perfect, as it fit my essentials, the large novel I was reading from the library, and my water bottle too.

The tee, like the necklace, is recently thrifted. While the necklace sticks with the neutral colour scheme of the black and white knit and Converse, black jeans and grey bag, I liked the pop of colour the red tee added to this outfit.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana, statement beaded necklace, red crew neck tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana and jeans, red crew neck tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit! It was a quiet weekend but I had a couple of errands to run. We were celebrating a big milestone at work the next day, so I ran round a few grocery stores to pick up the perfect ingredients for a cookie platter. It was fun to put together, especially as I ate a couple accidentally broken cookies that didn't make it into the box at the end!

Just like the outfit above, the red tee provides most of the colour in this outfit, with the white Converse, grey skinny jeans, and black cocoon cardigan. I did add a little extra colour with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and the blue beaded necklace too. Just like the necklace in the outfit above, it's a recent opshop find.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, black cocoon cardigan, red v-neck tee, blue beaded necklace, grey skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag.
