Coral Dresses, Blue Scarves and Leather Jackets

Two very similar outfits for winter office days - colourful coral dresses with black leather jackets, bright blue scarves and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.


What I wore:




JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! It was a colder day but with a slip under this dress, my cosy cobalt scarf and the thick leather jacket on top I didn't feel too cold from having my bare ankles popping out from under the dress. By the time I was back from the office and picking the kids up from school I was even warm enough to take the jacket off. Definitely appreciated and needed it on the cold morning commute though!

With the bright coral tiered midi dress I knew this blue scarf would look great. The deep teal Love Too bag is a different shade of blue with this outfit but I think it really worked with this colourful dress. I loved this outfit, colourful for a colder winter day.


Last worn: black leather jacket, cobalt Marc Jacobs scarf, coral tiered maxi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and floral dress, cobalt Marc Jacobs scarf and jeans, coral tiered maxi dress in summer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.





What I wore:






JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This outfit I did not love as much as the one above. Very similar with a slip under a midi dress, a warm black leather jacket, sneakers and a cosy blanket scarf. This Louis Vuitton shawl is one of the warmest scarves I have. However I didn't really think this outfit through. I like this dress for work, I've worn it a few times, and the midi dress and leather jacket and cosy scarf combination worked well for the first outfit above.

With this midi dress being a wrap dress though, walking through the city in the morning to get into the office I realised the error of my ways as the wrap dress opens a little at the base as you walk, which left a lot more of my legs exposed to the cold than in the outfit above. I was glad to get into the heated office, and will be keeping this dress only for warmer days!

Printed Tanks, Black Jeans and Leather Jackets

Adding cosy winter layers and bright bursts of blue to two black jeans outfits I wore to the office recently. Layering was definitely needed as each of these printed tops are sleeveless tanks!

What I wore:






JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Singlet: Kmart navy ribbed tank
TankRiver Island floral print sleeveless shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

I felt that this pretty floral print tank was overdue a wear, it's been so long since I last wore it! Had decided to get it out again and layer a navy tank underneath to help keep me warm for an in-office day. At the last minute I decided to swap out the black leather jacket I planned to wear for this cobalt one. It's a firm favourite I've already hit 30 wears on that always gets me compliments and this day was no exception.

With the cobalt leather jacket against the white floral print tank and the black jeans and white Converse, I wanted to add a little extra colour so I went with this red saddle bag. Doesn't match the deep dark red flowers on the button up tank, but I did like how it brightened this outfit worn with the cobalt jacket.

Even though I layered up under the tank and this is a thick and cosy jacket, it was a very chilly commute to the office and I did wish I'd added a scarf to this outfit!


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, navy tank, floral button up tank, faded black Skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wearcobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, navy tank and shorts, floral button up tank and skirt, faded black Skinny jeans and cardigan, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.



I felt this big Louis Vuitton cobalt shawl made up for all the other neutrals in the outfit though - it's such a great pop of colour, and a very cosy scarf! Much like the cobalt leather jacket above, this blue scarf also gets a lot of compliments, it's such a great colour to wear. Kept me nice and warm on the early commute to the office.

Striped Tops, Jeans and Blazers With Blanket Scarves and Mimco Crossbody Bag

Adding some cosy blanket scarves for the cold winter commute to the office recently! Both of these blazer and jeans outfits have striped tops as well as the colourful scarves.


What I wore:



Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
TeeAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

A cold and foggy morning had me reaching for jeans and this Louis Vuitton shawl that is one of the cosiest blanket scarves I own. I like the bright cobalt blue pop of colour it adds to the black blazer and black jeans outfit. The blue goes so well with the red stripes on my long sleeved top as well. Kept me nice and warm on the cooler commute to the office.

With the black blazer and black jeans I reached for more black and wore my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag again.


Last worn: black blazer, Louis Vuitton shawl, burgundy stripe tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, leather Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearblack blazer and maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, burgundy stripe tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and cardigan, leather Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag with pink and purple.

Perfect for pregnancyblack blazer in third trimesterburgundy stripe tee in third trimester.





What I wore:



JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs scarf in Island pine-print
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Similar outfit combination to the one above, but much more colourful! I went with my burgundy jeans that hadn't been worn in a while and were overdue another wear.

The grey blazer is lighter than the black one above, and the colourful mixed print scarf helped brighten up the outfit more too. Even if, unlike the day I wore the outfit above, this ended up being a very warm day and I'd shed the scarf by the afternoon on my way home from the office.

Again I wore the little black Mimco crossbody bag. It looks just as good with this more colourful outfit as it does with the matching black clothes in the outfit above.


Last worn: grey blazer, fern print scarf, striped tee, burgundy jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Pink Kmart Dresses, Blue Scarves and Denim Jackets With Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing another great outfit formula! Pretty pink Kmart dresses, blue scarves, denim jackets, sneakers and my awesome neutral Chloe Marcie bag.


What I wore:

kmart linen dress with white denim jacket navy heart print scarf sneakers chloe marcie bag | awayfromtheblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromtheblue


JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
ScarfStella McCartney heart print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a busy day! While it was cold I decided to go bare legged as my mum and sister and I had a fun day out of shopping planned. Quickly realised when my son woke up though that he wasn't quite right, so it was a quick scrabble to find him a doctor and get him some medicine. Luckily there was a local doctor open with availability, and we could leave him to rest at home with hubby and his brother while we went out to shop. I didn't have anything planned to buy, was just looking forward to catching up with my mum and sister and having lunch, but it turned into a really productive shopping day and I started buying a few Christmas presents. We took much longer at the shops than expected, as we hadn't been planning to buy a lot, but it was nice having that time together, especially after the stressful morning. Some of the shops were very warm, so I was glad I'd gone bare legged, and I even took my denim jacket off not long after arriving at the shopping centre. The heart print scarf kept me cosy enough over the linen dress.

It's not the first time I've layered this Kmart linen blend dress up for winter, and once again I stuck to that familiar outfit formula like I'd worn before, with the scarf and denim jacket. Instead of ankle boots like I wore previously, I went with my Adidas Superstar sneakers, such a comfortable shoe for all the walking we did.


Last worn: white denim jacket, heart studs, heart print scarf, pink linen dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wearwhite denim jacket and maxi skirt, heart print scarf and stripes, pink linen dress and kimono, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesAdidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was another fun day! I'm even wearing a couple of pieces that my mum bought for me on our day out shopping above. I just had to wear my new little resin earrings right away, I thought they went nicely with the coral pink Kmart tiered dress, even though they are a little hard to see because of my hair. I already have this tiered Kmart midi dress in fuchsia pink and in orange, but I loved this coral colour! As it was on sale Mum offered to get it for me along with the pink resin earrings, and another cute purple pair too.

The sneakers are a Kmart pair too, ones I hadn't worn in a while so they were due another wearing!

I layered the dress up a bit for a cold morning. I had the school run, a vet appointment for Cooper, and then in the afternoon I took advantage of having the day off to spend a couple hours at school watching the kids sports event. They did really well, very proud of them! It was such a warm day that I ended up taking the denim jacket off, although when we spent some time at the playground in the afternoon with my Mum I had pulled the jacket back on. It got cold quickly, even with this cosy wool blend Louis Vuitton scarf.



Last worn: moto denim jacket, blue Louis Vuitton shawl, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings and midi dress as they were a recent gift from my mum.

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue are a great combination together - no matter what shade of blue and pink! You can add to a pink dress with a blue denim jacket, or even just a blue scarf to try out the colour combination.

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:

louis vuitton scarf, navy stripe tee, purple cocon cardigan and skinny jeans sneakers and Chloe paraty bag | awayfromble

Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with purple cardigan | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe 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.





What I wore:

thrifted mustard cardigan and navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee outfit with skinny jeans small chloe paraty bag | awayfromblue

Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with mustard cardigan | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesAdidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
BagChloe 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 wearmustard 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!

Printed Maxi Dresses With Colourful Scarves, Denim Jackets and Balenciaga Bags

Layering up some maxi dresses for a windy winter weekend last month where we attended two different birthday parties. Added ankle boots, denim jackets and some big colourful scarves to keep me cosy outdoors in the wind, and my Balenciaga bags for a bit of colour. Wore some statement earrings for the first time in a while too to feel a little more dressed up!

What I wore:

TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Knowing how windy it was going to be I added a grey tee over this floral maxi dress to keep me a little warmer. It was nice in the sun, but we spent the birthday party in the shade so we felt the worst of the wind and I was grateful I'd added the tee! The denim jacket wasn't as warm as I'd have liked but the big Louis Vuitton shawl is a wool blend and so was perfect for the breeze. The kids had a great time at the party, although there were definitely too much chocolate and lollies consumed 😂 Sign of a successful party though if you eat too much good food! Plenty of cake to go around too, even though the re-introduced COVID restrictions of 10 people gatherings announced the day before meant it was cut in half, to save some for the other guests who were coming in the afternoon!

I wasn't sure if the tempete blue Balenciaga day bag would be too much blue with this outfit, with the light wash of the denim jacket and the cobalt blue of the scarf, but I think all the blues went really nicely with the blue in the floral print of the dress. Even if the dress was picked up quite a lot in the wind and probably not the best choice for the day!

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet (more affordable preloved)

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun party! Our last one before the 10 people gathering restriction came into place, as we didn't know until after the party that the restriction had just been put in place that morning with immediate effect! The kids had a blast at a playground we hadn't been to before, running around with their friends and again eating lots of party food. It was nice to meet some of the parents of my kids friends I hadn't spoken too before too, as you can't really talk during the school run when you're trying to keep your distance.

With the blue maxi dress, navy statement earrings and indigo denim jacket this felt a bit too monochrome, so I added some pink accessories to brighten it up a bit! It's not the first time I've worn this hot pink scarf and pink Balenciaga sorbet city bag together before, I really like the combination and pink always works so well with blue.

Despite another windy day I was pretty warm as there was plenty of running around after the kids in the playground, and helping the little one with some things he was just a bit too small for. He gave it a good go though. By the end of the party I was wishing I'd picked different shoes! These ankle boots have the tiniest heel but it was hard work with my injured knee.


How You Can Wear It:

A maxi dress can easily be layered up for a cooler day with ankle boots, a denim jacket and a cosy scarf. For an event like a birthday party you can keep it colourful by picking bright layers, either complimenting the colours in the print of the dress like the first outfit, or a contrasting colour like in the second outfit.

Layering Over Maxi Dresses With Cosy Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Small Darren Bag

After a little bit of warm weather, the Ekka winds arrived in Brisbane and it started to get chilly again for the end of winter. I decided to add a few extra layers to my maxi dresses to combat the cold winds.

What I wore:

Floral maxi dress with Rebecca Minkoff small darren messenger bag in peony pink | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram | layering a kmart floral maxi dress with cobalt tee and turquoise scarf pastel pink rebecca minkoff darren bag ankle boots winter

Scarf: Cotton On turquoise pashmina
Tee: thrifted cobalt blue long sleeve tee
Dress: Kmart Tropicana sleeveless tiered maxi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This was a big day for my eldest boy, as we all gathered to watch him compete for the first time. It was nice restrictions were relaxed so they were able to host a big sporting event, his first one after the restrictions had prevented any this year.

Wanted to be bright and colourful as I sat on the sidelines to support him, and so I wore my fave floral maxi dress, this tiered coral one from Kmart. Added the blue long sleeved tee over the top as I thought it looked better than underneath, and as it was still a little chilly I wore my cosy turquoise pashmina. I thought it matched nicely with the print on the dress and I loved how it popped with the blue tee.

The pastel pink Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag was picked as it was big enough for my camera and because I hadn't worn it with this coral dress before. It was a nice combo, I'm pleased I gave it a try!

Knit: white vintage knit jumper from my mum's wardrobe
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much, I felt a little overdressed in this, but also under-dressed for the cold! Unlike the first outfit this was a fairly normal day with the school run and a regular sports class in the evening. By the evening though I was so cold I'd added a coat over this - it was a really chilly day!

Even with the white jumper over this blue printed maxi dress it felt a little too dressed up for such a quiet day, especially as I spent as little time outside in the wind as possible and most of it at home 😂

I did like the colour combo here with the blush pink Darren messenger bag against the blue and white, and I think the white knit broke up the navy printed maxi dress enough that the cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl worked well with it. Just not one of my favourite outfits.


How You Can Wear It:

A maxi dress can work in cooler weather with some extra layers. Try adding a knit or long sleeve tee over the top, and don't forget a big cosy blanket scarf!
