Midi Skirts and Blazers

Dressing up my midi skirts for cooler autumn days and making them look a little more formal for work, just by adding a comfortable jersey blazer. While both these skirts and resulting outfits feel different, I really liked them both!

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Cami: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a busy but fun day at work - we had a big team lunch to attend, so while it was cooler on the commute I knew we would be enjoying the sun outside at lunchtime at an outdoor restaurant. This outfit was perfect, I didn't feel too cold, although I did end up keeping my blazer on both at lunch and at my desk. I really liked the navy blazer with the green broderie midi skirt, and the lighter blues of the turquoise tassel necklace, chambray cami and sky grey Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.

With the navy blazer and the turquoise tassel earrings, this navy circle and tassel necklace seemed like a fun bit of matchy-matchy, even if the silver hardware was different from the gold on the mini MAC bag, it tied in with the res of my outfit well and I'm never one to shy away from mixing metals!


Last worn: navy blazer, turquoise tassel earrings, navy tassel necklace, chambray cami, broderie midi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and dress, chambray cami and jeans, broderie midi skirt in festive outfit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with orange.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

While this outfit didn't feel as coordinated as the one above, I still loved it! I was so pleased to show off to my stylish colleague that both my Stella McCartney Falabella bag and my leopard print skirt were from the opshop when she complimented them. Sadly she was only in Brisbane for a few days and didn't have time to shop, maybe next time she visits!

I'd planned to wear this grey blazer with the fun leopard print skirt and blue tank, but couldn't decide on a necklace that morning. In the end I went with this orange one for a pop of colour. With the neutral navy tank, grey blazer, black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and black Converse, I think an extra pop of colour was needed with this outfit, even though the skirt makes a statement on its own.

Last worn: grey jersey blazer, orange necklace, navy tank, leopard print midi skirt, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and jeans, navy tank and red, leopard print midi skirt and orange, black Converse and pencil skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Blue Long Sleeved Dresses With Pink Mini MAC Bag

Making the most of warmer weekends back in Autumn and wearing two pretty blue dresses with a little pink bag for some birthday parties!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! We had a family birthday to celebrate, so I wanted to wear this pretty Jaase autumn leaves print dress again. While it was a cooler morning, with the ankle boots and the longer sleeves on the dress I felt fine wearing this and going bare-legged. It was so good to spend time with family!

We also took the opportunity to stop by the shelter we adopted Cooper from to do a meet and greet with a little puppy we'd fallen in love with online. She and Cooper seemed friendly, so this is what I was wearing when we adopted Bonnie. The ankle boots were a good choice and very practical for running around in the meet and greet yard with the dogs.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, silhouette necklace, tan ankle boots, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tan ankle boots and jeans, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another birthday party day, this one was a little cooler so I was grateful for the thicker denim fabric on this tiered dress. It kept me nice and cosy as I caught up with my friends at a bowling party, the kids were very entertained with playing a couple rounds of bowling and then enjoying the arcade before having some delicious cake!

Because the denim fabric on this dress kept me warm and we were indoors for the party anyway, I just went with comfortable Converse sneakers. not as cosy as ankle boots, but perfect for this day.

I added a little more colour with the magenta crescent necklace and again my little redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really like this pink bag with different shades of blue!


Last worn: earrings, crescent necklace, tiered denim dress, leather Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above)

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and red, leather Converse sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and jeans.

Pink and Navy Jeans and Tee Outfits

Two more autumn jeans outfits. I feel jeans become a staple as the weather starts to cool off here in Brisbane. Both of these are colourful outfits though, with pink and navy as I really love pink and blue together in any combination of shades.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

It's the first time I've worn this navy tie dye duster and this pink v-neck tee together which surprises me. Both of these pieces are firm favourites, so it was nice to finally wear them together! We had a couple of errands to run and some birthday presents to buy, so jeans and a tee was what I reached for.

I wasn't sure about the washed rose pink of the tee with the brighter pink in one of the tassels on the necklace, and the hot pink of my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC, but I'm glad I wore all these different shades together, I think it worked well in the end. The black jeans and black Converse were good neutrals with the tie dye and those different shades of pink.


Last worn: tie dye duster, tassel necklace, pink tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and shorts, pink tee over a dress, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit for another weekend day. I had a couple of errands to run again, and dropped my son off at his friend's house for a playdate. I thrifted these pink Zara frayed hem skinny jeans a while back, and they look great with navy! This tee was a great pairing with them.

As in the outfit above, I wasn't too sure at first about having these different shades of pink together with the brighter pink of the jeans and the hot pink of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and although I didn't love it as much as the outfit above, I'm glad I gave this a go.


Last worn: navy tee, pearl tassel necklace, pink skinny jeans, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and skirt, pink skinny jeans and blouse, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Green and Black Outfits With Love Too Bag

While it's officially winter now in Brisbane, I still have some autumn outfits I wore that I haven't posted yet, like this printed shorts outfit I actually wore back in April! Both it and the second outfit are made up of green and black.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like this combination of a green piece in my outfit with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and the chunky green, navy and black geometric bead statement necklace. It's an outfit combination I've worn a few times. This is the first time I've worn the green tee with these black printed shorts though. I also liked this pairing.

Just needed something practical and comfortable to wear for a day of working at home with a break in the afternoon for a physio appointment. As it was back in April and a warm autumn, shorts and tee was perfect.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and skirt, black printed shorts and knit, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Another autumn outfit, but you can definitely tell it's cooler here! Again it's a black and green outfit, with the black zip detail skinny jeans, and a green floral duster. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with this again as well. I really like wearing this teal bag with greens!

It's not the first time I've worn this green floral duster with navy either, I really like pairing navy tops with it. I thrifted this tee a while back and it has a beautiful metallic thread weaved through it that sadly just doesn't show up in photos. I really like it in person though, feels a little more special than a plain navy tee with that sparkle.

Jeans and a tee is always a good idea for a working from home day when I'm also doing the school run, and we had sports in the evening too.

Last worn: green floral duster, mixed metal necklace, black bracelet stack, metallic navy tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, metallic navy tee and leopard skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

Black and White Jeans Outfit For The Office With Pink Crossbody Bag

Still loving and wearing my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC bag! Using the bag as the perfect pop of pink with both of these black and white jeans outfits I wore to the office.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Little photobomb from our newly adopted puppy Bonnie in these pics! And while I thought I'd be okay with these white skinny jeans because I had a day in the office, I quickly realised I was going to have to retire the white jeans, not the best choice to wear with an over-energetic puppy. She's still learning not to jump up, so although I did manage to wash the jeans clean, I probably won't be wearing them for a while! She was surrendered twice before we adopted her so it's going to take a while to teach her manners, and white jeans are not the best choice for this adjustment period.

I did like the white jeans with the white Converse and the black batwing blouse, just adding the little touch of colour with the mini MAC bag. It was a good office outfit, but not something that was good to be wearing when I got home and she jumped all over me!


Last worn: batwing blouse, Tiffany necklace, white skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the gold heart and pearl earrings on the blog as they were a Mother's day present from my boys.

Other ways to wear: batwing blouse and skirt, white skinny jeans and sequins, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Re-Dying My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another black and white jeans outfit for the office. With the plain white tee and faded black skinny jeans, this outfit was a little casual, even with the addition of the statement tassel necklace. The cobalt blazer I recently thrifted was the perfect topper for this on a cooler autumn morning in Brisbane, and to seem a bit more professional in the office. I really enjoyed this outfit, the bright accessories and cobalt blazer made it seem very cheerful.

And of course, black skinny jeans are a much better choice around a little puppy still learning not to jump up! We had hoped our older dog Cooper would teach Bonnie some good manners, but he seems content just to watch her and her craziness. It's so cute when they curl up together though, so glad we adopted them both.


Last worn: gold heart and pearl earrings (above), cobalt blazer, tassel necklace, white tee, zip detail black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and pink, white tee over a dress, zip detail black skinny jeans with green, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Navy Striped Shirt Dresses And Converse With Redyed Pink Bag

Feeling uninspired for some autumn office outfits, I wore a striped dresses each day, with the same accessories even! Love an easy outfit formula. Also sharing my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I recently redyed, it's a fun pop of colour in these outfits.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

A cooler autumn morning and a commute to work had me getting this long sleeved shift dress out of my wardrobe again. It's quite a thick fabric and kept me nicely cosy for the way into work. I added a little more colour to the navy and black stripes with the fun multi coloured tassel necklace, a recent opshop find. 

I thought that the navy and black stripes were a great background to let my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag pop. It was a very vivid, bright neon pink before, although also quite worn. I stripped the colour off and then repainted it in Angelus hot pink acrylic leather paint, and I love the finished results!


Last worn: navy stripe shift dress, white leather Converse, redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe shift dress and leather jacket, leather Converse and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe shift dress in second trimester.

Process of Re-Dying My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another navy stripe shift dress with Converse, my little pink mini MAC bag, and the same tassel necklace. Just like with the navy and black shift dress above, I felt the white and navy stripes on this dress were a great background for the colourful accessories. This dress was a $1 opshop find too, I've gotten so much wear from it (already this is it's 11th wear). And like the navy shift dress above, it's going to get a lot more wear over autumn and winter!


Last worn: navy and white striped dress, tassel necklace (above), white leather Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff redyed hot pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: navy and white striped dress and leather jacket, white leather Converse and midi skirt.

Kmart Floral Print Dresses and Turquoise Mini MAC

Two very different Kmart printed dresses I wore for a weekend a couple of weeks ago when it was a little warmer! Both bags accessorised with my little Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC that goes with everything.

What I wore:

Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I did feel a little overdressed for this in the morning when we had a couple of playdates, but that evening we were going out for a birthday dinner and one outfit felt easier for the day! This coral print wrap dress is one mum got me for Christmas, I love how colourful it is. Although this is the first time I've tried the aqua mini MAC bag with it, I really liked the combination. It was the perfect size too as I didn't need to carry much for the playdates or for dinner.


Last worn: spiral earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, coral print wrap dress, Kmart slides, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: coral print wrap dress with yellow, Kmart slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and maternity shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I had planned to wear a denim jacket over this, but it was a nice warm morning so I went without one. I definitely needed it in the afternoon though when it started to cool down, with winter just over a week away here in Brisbane it's getting chilly!

It was a nice sunny day for a couple of errands and then a little browse in the opshop - donating a few more things and taking advantage of the 'fill a bag of books for $5' sale to pick up some more books for myself and for the kids. I'm keeping up with my 100 books a year reading goal, the extra commutes into the office now I'm working in there more often help! I'm at 63 books read so far this year, and I'm always picking up books in the opshops in case I don't have any hold requests available when we are on our weekly library trip.


Last worn: beaded necklace, tiered sundress, leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered sundress and denim jacket, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in third trimester.

Yellow Tees and Navy Pencil Skirts With Love Too Bag

I felt that a lot of my office outfits had been neutrals recently, so decided to add a little more colour and a bit less black but wearing both of these blue textured pencil skirts with cheerful yellow tees!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was a chilly start to the morning - autumn is truly starting to show up in Brisbane, with winter just a couple of weeks away! So I needed to add a blazer to this. I really like this mango yellow tee with the navy jacquard pencil skirt, and the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. Blue and yellow look good together in any shade combination.

The black ankle boots were good for extra warmth and a little bit of matchy-matchy with the black jacquard wave on the pencil skirt. So with the cobalt blue blazer on top I added the little cobalt wrap bracelet too for more matchy-matchy. I really liked this outfit! Good for a cold autumn commute to the office.


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mango tee, navy beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, mango tee, jacquard pencil skirt and pink, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy:  ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

It was a quite office day without too many team members in, so I got away with a simple tee and pencil skirt outfit without having to make it more formal with a blazer on top. I probably should have added a blazer to this as well though, it was a little cooler in the morning than I expected! Luckily it had warmed up enough in the afternoon for the commute home. 

This navy lace pencil skirt is a firm favourite and one I've already hit 30 wears with some time ago. I liked the bright mustard yellow tee with it, and added another shade of blue with the Converse sneakers and navy beaded necklace. I decided to wear a neutral bag with this, with the tee being bright enough. this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag goes with everything.


Last worn: mustard yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, blue lace pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard yellow tee and maxi skirt, blue lace pencil skirt worn 30 ways, blue Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue lace pencil skirt in second trimester.

Midi Skirts and Tank Tops With Love Too Bag

I've worn these midi skirts to the office a few times, but decided to wear them with simple tanks for working from home days recently.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really liked all of the blues in this outfit, with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love bag always photographing so navy, and the light blue linen skirt and the navy ribbed tank. I felt like I needed a little extra colour with this when I put it all together though, the thrifted chartreuse necklace was the perfect pop of colour. With it and the tan slides I didn't feel like this outfit was too monochromatic. I really liked it!

Was nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home and having a tradie over at the house in the middle of the day. While the morning was a little chilly it was nice to have bare arms and legs for a bit, it's a lot cooler in Brisbane now than it was when I wore this!


Last worn: navy tank, chartreuse necklace, linen midi skirt, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and jeans, linen midi skirt in the office, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I'd planned this outfit in advance, after liking the one above so much! Again it was a plain tank (this silver one I've had for a while and I'm nearly at 30 wears with) and this pretty green broderie anglaise midi skirt. I didn't like this outfit so much last time I wore this skirt, when I wore it with a printed tank, so I knew the simple block colour tank would be something I'd enjoy better.

I added the navy necklace to compliment the deep blue undertone in the Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag, and Converse are always a practical and comfortable choice. The weather wasn't quite as expected though, it was a lot more autumn like than the day I wore the first outfit, so while it was okay working from home, I ended up adding a denim jacket over this when I was out for the school run and a couple of errands before school pick up and sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, navy flat bead necklace, silver tank, green broderie midi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, silver tank and shorts, green broderie midi skirt with red, white Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans. 

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.
