Yellow, Aqua and Navy: Dresses and Leather Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two incredibly similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! Printed navy dresses, yellow scarves, leather jackets, leggings and Converse with my Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl plain crinkle scarf in mustard
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress with leggings
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a fun Monday! After the school run I headed out to the local opshops with my youngest boy. Since I'd noticed the big one near us had reopened (it was one of the last to reopen after the virus restrictions) I was eager to go check it out, and a cold Monday sounded like the perfect opportunity. It is the best opshop locally for books, they have a huge range and we spent a lot of time picking our favourites to take home. Hubby and I had an appointment later that day and I was hoping some new books would keep the little one entertained for a bit during that! Of course I picked a few interesting looking ones up for myself too, since my neighbour started a virtual book club over Iso I've gotten back into the habit of reading and I'm always looking for new books to read!

I felt this navy striped tee dress with the black printed leather jacket was a bit dark, the mustard scarf and the aquamarine mini MAC bag were the perfect touches of colour with it to lighten it up! It warmed up much more than I expected and I ended up taking the leather jacket off for most of the day after the school drop off in the morning.

Last worn: printed leather jacket, mustard scarf, navy stripe tee dress, leggings, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, mustard scarf with olive, navy stripe tee dress with pink, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC with magenta kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee dress in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in third trimester.

5 Ways to Wear Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Strap:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Dress: Shein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) with grey leggings underneath

Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Again the same outfit formula with a navy dress, leather jacket, and aqua mini MAC bag and yellow scarf. I loved the colours of this outfit but it felt a little more impractical than the first outfit above. It was a very cold day, so cold that I ended up working from home after the school run with a big fluffy blanket over my legs to keep me warm. I realised when I went to go pick up my son and take him to his appointment in the afternoon that it has just resulted in a very wrinkled dress being covered up all day with a thick blanket! It is a very light dress, just viscose, so it wrinkles a bit more than I'd like sometimes.

I think if I'd have worn this on another day I would have liked it more - it was a fun colour combination, and I really liked all of the pieces together, but it was so cold jeans and a big cosy knit might have been better (and less likely to wrinkle!).

Last worn: black leather jacket, yellow tassel scarf, navy and red floral swing dress, leggings, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, yellow tassel scarf with orange dress, floral swing dress and blazer, Converse and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: yellow tassel scarf in second trimester, Converse in third trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Yellow and navy go so well together! If you're layering up a navy dress for colder weather with a leather jacket and leggings, why not add a bright yellow scarf for a pop of colour? You can try introduce another bright shade with a handbag too.

Layering Dresses For Winter With Printed Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody Bag

Feeling like I'd been wearing jeans a lot over winter, I took the opportunity to layer up some of my dresses instead! One slightly dressier outfit for an afternoon out with hubby and another more casual one for the school run.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Forever New skye foil feather scarf in berry / gold
Dress: Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

This would be totally overdressed for a day at home with the kids! I didn't wear this when we were playing or baking, I just wore it when hubby and I went out in the afternoon to review the photos from our family photo shoot the week before. Took the opportunity to treat it like a mini date night as the hour away from the kids with complimentary drinks while we watched our photo presentation is the closest we will get to a proper date night for a while! 😂

Picked this black leather jacket to wear over the floral dress as it is not as slim fitting as my other one and has more space for the statement flared sleeves on this dress. The burgundy bag and scarf were just being matchy-matchy with the burgundy floral print on the dress. It's the first time I've tried this dress with burgundy (although I have worn the mustard dress with a red bag before) and I really liked this combination!

Since I wasn't going to be walking far I wore my pretty ankle boots - the tiny few centimetre high heel is too unmanageable for my injured knee to walk around in, but it can do a walk from the car to the studio and back again!

Last worn: black leather jacket, burgundy feather print scarf, mustard floral dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, burgundy feather print scarf with navy, mustard floral dress in summer, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and matching jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Unboxing Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Asos grey skater dress with leggings underneath
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

A much more neutral outfit with this little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag, and a much more casual one! It was a really cold and windy day so I pulled out this navy mac that was just perfect for keeping me warm on the school run. It was a staple of my winter outfits back when I was still commuting to the office, but now I work from home this is it's first wearing this year!

Picked a blue scarf to compliment the navy jacket - this Stella McCartney heart print blanket scarf is so cosy and warm and makes me smile any time I wear it! It was a nice touch of colour and print with the grey skater dress, and it and the coat kept me cosy in the cold evening too when I took my son along to his sports session.

Wasn't sure if the grey leggings with this dress would be too much grey, but I think the colourful accessories and the darker grey of the leggings made this work.

Last worn: navy Macintosh, heart print scarf, grey skater dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, heart print scarf and stripes, grey skater dress worn two ways, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey skater dress in second trimester, Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can easily layer up some summer dresses for winter with extra layers - ankle boots, tights or leggings, a cosy jacket and a big printed scarf can help you stay warm. A colourful printed scarf adds an extra pop to your outfit as well - try something colourful with a neutral dress, or match the colour of your scarf to a colour in the print if it's a printed dress you're wearing.

Leather Jackets, Skinny Jeans and Colourful Scarves

I haven't worn my leather jackets much this winter. It usually warms up a bit during the day in Brisbane so they have felt a little too heavy, but two colder days in July had me reaching for my leather jackets for the early mornings.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl pretty pink diamond scarf
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

A very colourful outfit! I really liked the combination of a jumper, these magenta skinny jeans and a pink printed scarf last time I wore it. This time around I picked my grey polka dot knit and this multi coloured diamond print scarf. Even if the pink didn't match the magenta of the jeans exactly I really liked this combination! Especially with this bright cobalt leather jacket for an extra bit of warmth on a very cold and windy day. As well as working from home I had some tradies over coming in and out of the house all day, and Cooper had a bath at the groomers. A very busy day!

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, colourful scarf, foil print knit jumper, magenta skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket and maxi skirt, colourful scarf and maxi skirt, foil print knit jumper and shorts, magenta skinny jeans and navy tank, white Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

My Scarf Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf in Island pine-print
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

We were running a little late this morning and I think that's why my scarf looks like it was thrown on in a hurry - it was 😂 I thought the blue and red in the scarf went nicely with the cobalt knit and burgundy jeans. The black leather jacket didn't stay on long though, by the afternoon both it and the scarf had come off as it was so warm at school pickup time a jumper and jeans were all that were needed. 

The scarf came off pretty quickly in the morning as after school drop off we went to grab some more milk and run a couple of errands. It was cold enough to want the scarf on, but my youngest son who had decided not to wear a jumper was cold and I figured it would be better giving him my scarf than letting him drag my leather jacket on the ground! He did look very cute in it!

Last worn: black leather jacket, Marc Jacobs scarf, cobalt knit, burgundy skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford (above).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, printed scarf and chambray dress, cobalt knit over a maxi dress, burgundy skinny jeans and duster, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: pine print scarf in third trimester, cobalt knit in first trimester, black Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear it:

Jeans and a leather jacket is a classic winter outfit combination. You can add a little extra colour with some bright skinny jeans or a colourful scarf, or both!

The Magnificent 8: Hello Yellow!

For something different, sharing a Wednesday post again. I am not yet returning to the 3 posts a week I did before Coronavirus hit, this is a special post as I've joined the Magnificent Eight! The theme today is "Hello Yellow", one I had a lot of fun with as I have quite a few yellow pieces in my wardrobe now! 

So I'm sharing two outfits, one I wore on the weekend and the other during the week for the school run. Because even though it's a blog collaboration it wouldn't be my blog if I wasn't showing you what I actually wore, would it! Scroll down to see them and find out more about the Magnificent 8 ladies!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

I had this cardigan in mind for the Hello Yellow theme and was wondering what top to wear with it, as it was so warm I decided on a tank. This tank was also thrifted, just like the cardi, and the yellow in the mixed print works so well with the mustard cardigan! It was an extremely warm day so a scarf wasn't needed, I even rolled up the sleeves of my cardigan for a bit!

Kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the Converse and my black Nobody Denim skinny jeans, and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. 

Simple but colourful for a warm winter day in the playground. Even though we hadn't had any COVID cases in our state for 8 days at the time I was still a little unsure about taking the kids to a playground for the first time since Iso! I seemed to be the only one worried, the playground was so busy! The kids had a blast playing there even though they had to wait their turn a few times. We used to visit playgrounds regularly before everything happened, so it was nice to get back to it, and easier on my injured knee than the exploring around local trails and empty parks that we have been doing instead the past few months.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, colourful mixed print tank, navy tassel necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan worn two ways, colourful mixed print tank and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and duster kimono, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy Geo print tassel scarf (c/o)
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This outfit was pulled together from other outfits I've worn before! It's not the first time I've worn the scarf and cardigan together, and I really liked this yellow tee last time I wore it with olive green jeans so I wanted to try it with these green jeans as well. I added the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag as it matches so nicely with the navy scarf and cardigan, and again was a nice neutral with the bright top and jeans.

Was a quiet day - doing the school run and taking the little one out to hunt for more books at the opshops. With it being No Buy July I wasn't going to browse for clothes but thought we could go have a look for some books. The kids always like picking up a book or two whenever we stop at an opshop. And with getting back into reading over Iso after my neighbour started up a virtual book club, I wanted to have a browse of the books for myself as well! Was a fun way to spend a small part of the morning after school drop off.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, navy mixed print scarf, yellow tee, green skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, navy mixed print scarf and shorts, yellow tee and maxi skirt, green skinny jeans and matching scarves, white Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Yellow is such a cheerful colour to wear - and it pairs well with other brights too! Try it with green, blue, navy, or keep it simple and stick with neutral black skinny jeans.

Maxi Skirts and Knits: Weekday Wear Link Up!

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two winter maxi skirt outfits for two very different days! A bright and colourful one for a day outside enjoying the winter sun and a neutral one for working from home.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

The knit jumper and the denim jacket together may have been a little bit overkill on a warm winter day, but it was very windy! I felt nice and cosy all layered up, and although I thought I wouldn't need a scarf I did miss it when we were in the shade and the wind picked up! Definitely didn't need any more layers on the sun though, it was quite strong and warm sunshine.

I really liked the colour combo of the cobalt knit with the ochre maxi skirt, I need to wear this again! I thought the pale blue denim biker jacket and the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag were great additions to the bright colours.

This maxi skirt is quite light in the wind but it's also pretty voluminous and so never flew up too much thank goodness!

Last worn: denim biker jacket, cobalt knit, beaded necklace, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: denim biker jacket and floral dress, cobalt knit over sundress, ochre maxi skirt with stripes, white Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and tee dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt marle knit in first trimester, white Converse in second trimester.

30 Ways To Wear A Navy Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Jumper: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, I ended up taking this denim jacket off when it warmed up! This pretty embellished knit is one I tend to very sparingly wear as it is so pretty it feels a bit too special for everyday wear, but it was overdue a wear so I got it out again! Paired it simply with the black thrifted maxi skirt and my classic dark blue denim jacket, and again the Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. This was such a comfortable outfit for running around a lot and also working from home most of the day.

Did the school drop off in the morning and wished I'd added a scarf, but by school pickup time I'd taken off the denim jacket as it was too warm! Took my son to his first in-person specialist appointment since iso! While restrictions had been lifted a few weeks before, some sniffles kept us away from the office and continuing to do our fortnightly session via telehealth. It was so good to be able to go into the office again! Face to face is much more entertaining for a 4 year old than a zoom call, although I'm glad we had those sessions to fall back on over Iso. The benefits of technology!

Last worn: denim jacket, embellished grey knit, black maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and little black dress, embellished grey knit and shorts, black maxi skirt worn 2 ways, black Converse and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag with green.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, embellished knit in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

******

How You Can Wear It:

A maxi skirt can be layered up for a warmer winter day by adding a cosy knit and a denim jacket.

Striped Tees and Skull Scarves With Green Jeans

Two outfits with very similar formulas that look really different. Green skinny jeans, striped tees, skull scarves and cardigans for spending time outside with the boys.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Scarf: Alexander McQueen azure wool skull scarf
Tee: Jeanswest striped split hem tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Making the most of the nice weather during the school holidays, and also partly because hubby was still working from home and needed some quiet, I took the kids out to our fave walking trail. Picked because it's a really short and easy walk through the bush with beautiful views. It's under a kilometre too so I knew my injured knee could cope it it. Still wore my daggy but supportive running shoes anyway and I'm glad I did as we went off the trail a lot! We were out for hours finding "new" paths through the bush as the kids explored and I let them pick where we went. (Just a note that I know the track well, I always knew where we were and there are enough pointers around the landscape that a short walk in any direction would reorient you if you did get lost. A lot of the different paths we took were the old trail or accessing the trail from other directions so weren't just rushing off blindly. Be careful not to deviate from the trail unless you can do so safely.) My knee certainly started complaining that evening from all the extra walking!

I added the blue and teal skull scarf for a touch of colour with the navy stripe tee and the green skinny jeans. The scarf did come off quite quickly though as the day warmed up, I even considered taking the cardigan off a few times too. Keeping to the practical outfit I didn't take a bag of my own and just put my things and our water bottles and snacks in the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack I use as a baby bag. Was a really fun morning out!

Last worn: grey belted cardigan, teal and azure skull scarf, navy stripe tee, green skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers. First time I've shared the Julian backpack on the blog although I've been using it a while!

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and purple jeans, teal and azure skull scarf and printed dress, navy stripe tee and shorts, green skinny jeans with mustard.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (get it second hand)

Why I wore it:

This was another fun day outside! After a quick stop at the Saturday sale at the opshop we headed out to a local park with the boys, until they got hungry for lunch. I used my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB instead of the baby bag as hubby was with us and could carry a backpack.

After the morning at the park, we spent the afternoon at yet another park for a playdate. Which didn't quite go according to plan...but luckily there was an entrepreneurial lady selling ice cream and taking advantage of the weekend crowds so we grabbed some ice cream and sat down on the beach enjoying the last of the sun's rays. As the kids got muddier and muddier running into the water 😂 Baths, a movie and an early dinner made it the perfect end to a hectic day.

I like this navy cardigan with the olive skinny jeans, especially as it matches the navy stripe tee.  I felt the outfit needed another layer as it was quite a windy day, this neutral taupe Alexander McQueen skull scarf was the perfect finishing touch. My knee was really sore by the end of the day though, Converse not as supportive for all the running around!

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, taupe skull scarf, navy stripe tee, olive skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn belted, taupe skull scarf and shift dress, navy stripe tee and floral shorts, olive skinny jeans for long haul flight, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB worn 30 ways.

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

How You Can Wear It:

A skull scarf is a fun print mix with a stripe tee and jeans combo. You can go brighter like the first outfit with the blue and bold green skinny jeans, or stick with neutrals like the taupe, olive and navy second outfit.

Matching Scarves To Skinny Jeans - Weekday Wear Link Up

At it again with my matchy-matchy! Picking some colours out of these Fashion Scarf Girl Scarves I bought last month to build an outfit around. While I just posted these scarves last week, this time around I'm adding them to more colourful outfits with my skinny jeans. I wanted to wear them twice close together to meet my "wear any new purchase twice in the month I buy it" goal. Luckily I managed to wear both of these twice just before the end of June! Still going strong with No Buy July this month so far.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl lush forest scarf
Top: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

A colourful outfit for a bit of a sad day. Added all the colour to cheer myself up a bit, with my Sass and Bide magenta skinny jeans and purple cardigan. I really like pink and purple together so it won't be the first time I wear these pieces together! Plus the colours matched the pink and purple in the forest print of my scarf, even if the pink is a different shade.

The blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag matched the colours in the scarf too and I thought the grey tee was a good neutral piece to add to all those colours!

On this day we got to see our dog off as she went home with her family. Originally we were only going to look after her a little while, but as Coronavirus took hold things got more complicated. Plans changed a few times, so with her being with us so long it was a little hard to say goodbye, but nice to see her going home.

Last worn: purple cardigan, forest print scarf, grey zip side tee, magenta Sass & Bide skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: purple cardigan and maxi dress, forest print scarf with stripes, grey zip side tee and shorts, magenta Sass & Bide skinny jeans and navy, Converse for long haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC in monochrome outfit.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cardigan in second trimester, grey zip side tee and hidden baby bump, Converse in second trimester.

5 Ways To Wear Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl colourful print scarf in green
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Again, matching the colours in a printed scarf to the colour of my jeans! The green skinny jeans work well with the green print in this scarf, and the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag matched the blue bits nicely too! Kept the rest of my outfit a little more neutral with the black cardigan and grey long sleeve tee. I was thankful for this thicker black cardigan in the evening, as we had to again sit outside the hall for my son's sports class as there were too many people training in the venue for the COVID restrictions at the time. The cardigan and scarf kept me extra cosy on a very cold winter night!

Last worn: black cardigan, green printed scarf, grey tee, green skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and band tee, green printed scarf and dress, grey tee and shorts, green skinny jeans and yellow, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black wrap cardigan and hidden second trimester bump, grey tee in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It 

A a colourful printed scarf  can be so easy to wear if you match it to another colourful piece in our outfit, like I have here with the bright skinny jeans, and the cardigan in the first outfit. You can always add a neutral base like a grey tee too to balance out the colours.
