Graphic Tees and Printed Cover Ups With Colourful Jeans

Trying something a little different with these outfits! Basic colourful jeans and graphic tees outfits, both with an extra print and touch of colour thanks to the printed cover ups I added.


What I wore:




JacketThe Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee (gift from my sister)
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

My sister got me this tee while she was on her travels recently - I love it! I wanted to wear the basic jeans and tee combo. I thought that the burgundy jeans would look nice with the colours in the graphic print - and I do like wearing these jeans with black. It was a little cooler in the morning for our playdate so at the last moment I added this printed cover up, knowing I didn't want anything too heavy as it would warm up through the day. While the colours are different, I felt they were similar enough that the colours and print worked really well with the tee and jeans, and I loved this outfit!

The neutral tan bag made it easy as I didn't have to worry about any extra colours there, the neutral tan goes with everything!


Last worn: printed cover up, burgundy jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent gift.

What I wore:




JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I tried a similar outfit formula again the next day. I like this navy tie dye cape and with the olive green jeans it's a really good pairing. I added more navy with the graphic tee and the navy sketchers, but I still think this outfit, while more matchy-matchy than the first one, didn't work as well. 

I still liked it and enjoyed wearing it and trying something different with this tee, I usually stick with non-printed pieces to pair it with, so this was nice to change it up a little. Just not something I'd be in a hurry to wear again. Will definitely try the tee and jeans together again though. Can't believe I haven't worn them together before, as the jeans I've hit 30 wears with!


Last worn: tie dye cape, graphic tee, olive jeans, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Colourful Kmart Linen Shorts and Camis With Tan Crossbody Bag

Coping with the Brisbane heatwave recently by wearing my Kmart linen shorts that I picked up from the opshop in December. They have really come in helpful this hot, humid summer!


What I wore:

orange linen shorts and Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond | awayfromtheblue


Cami: H&M blue floral crinkle knot front button down cami
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

This was such a hot day and I really just wanted to stay at home and chill in the aircon! Unfortunately, we had quite a few books due back to the library so I wore some simple light pieces for our trip in the heat. I wasn't too sure if this floral cami would work with the linen shorts. I love the paper bag waist, but it didn't look right tucked in as the cami is cropped, so I tried covering up the cute paper bag waist with the cami. I think it looked best this way. And I do really like blue and orange together!

This was a nice simple outfit to beat the heat. As we had the big reusable tote with us for all our library books I just carried my little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag, a nice light crossbody. Didn't even add a necklace - really wanted to wear as little as possible!


Last worn: floral knot front cami, Kmart linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: floral knot front cami and jeans, Kmart linen shorts and tucked in tee, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and gold knit.

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

Another hot day, although thankfully not as much as the day above, had me reaching for a cami and linen shorts outfit again. I really like this Kmart fuchsia shade, it's so cheerful in my wardrobe! I've never tried green with it before though so I was excited to try this mint cami with the bold pink. I really loved this combination, and I'm glad I gave something different a try!

Kept the rest of my accessories neutral with the gold necklace and sandals, and the almond Rebecca Minkoff camera bag.

Comfortable for a day with the school run, a couple errands, and working from home.

Metallic Knits, Blue Scarves, Colourful Jeans And Crossbody Bags

Feeling the cold in Brisbane back during July and layering up with knits, jeans and scarves. Keeping it colourful with different coloured denim and navy scarves with my metallic jumpers.


What I wore:

gold metallic vintage knit with Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond | away from the blue


ScarfFashion Scarf Girl navy Geo print tassel scarf (c/o)
Jumper: thrifted vintage Haneli metallic gold knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

This was a big day! It was an extremely foggy (and early) start to the morning as I was volunteering with a friend to help fundraise at the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle. I put a long sleeve tee under my metallic gold knit, as well as my big cosy navy scarf to keep me warm for standing outside all morning. Didn't need to worry though - once the fog cleared where we were and the sun came out I was actually far too warm! Ended up taking the scarf off quite quickly and rolling up the sleeves on my jumper. Sadly somewhere along the way one of the tassels fell off my scarf.

I did like the scarf with this outfit - I like the extra colour the navy print brings to the gold and olive. It just didn't stay on long, as I kept it off even in the afternoon too when I took the kids to the library. I'd added the neutral Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag as I wasn't sure what colour bag to wear with this and was in a rush to get to the BBQ on time. I think a navy one to match the scarf could have looked nice too but given how little I wore the scarf I was glad I went with the almond bag.


Last worn: vintage metallic knit, navy mixed print scarf, olive skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag and Mini MAC Comparison






What I wore:

Blue Marc Jacobs scarf with silver foil polka dot knit burgundy jeans metallic mini mac bag Converse | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC with burgundy jeans foil polka dot knit | awayfromblue


ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Why I wore it:

This is a much more subtle metallic knit! I like the silver foil polka dots on this grey knit, but being a little on the thin side it's not one I frequently reach for over winter. It's so pretty though I keep it around even if it's only worn a handful of times a year! True winter weather is so brief here in Brisbane it's hard to wear jumpers more than a handful of times really.

With the neutral grey I added a lot more colour with the burgundy jeans and the bright blue scarf. Unlike the first outfit where the knit was the statement in the outfit I feel this scarf was the statement to complete the outfit. It stayed on all day too, was a chilly morning for the school run and kept me warm for my little one's sports in the morning and then sports for both boys after school pickup in the evening.

Couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy for this outfit too with my metallic silver mini MAC. Surprisingly, it's the first time I've worn this knit and bag together - such an obvious choice I can't believe I haven't tried the combo yet! Wore such a tiny bag as I put my son's sports stuff and water bottles in the baby bag to take along to class with us.



How You Can Wear It:

A metallic twist is a fun way to change up a classic winter knit - you can go bold with a completely metallic thread, or more subtle like the second outfit with the foil polka dot detail. With metallics being neutrals they pair so nicely with colourful scarves or jeans too!

Cotton On "The One" Tees and Soft Shorts With Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

Last Christmas my mum got me a pink "The One" tee from Cotton On. Since then I've added quite a few more to my wardrobe! I love the range of colours, the fact that they are often on sale, soft, made with 20% recycled cotton and wash and wear well. With working from home and no longer needing to go into an office I'm embracing tees almost every day so these have been good purchases for me! I picked up these two clay coloured ones in the Cotton On sale for boxing day, reduced to $7.99 each. Plus I had a $10 rewards voucher so I ended up getting both together for just $5.98! Bargain! With the summer heat, I wore them for the first time with some cute soft pull-on shorts.

TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a working from home day, a rather stressful first day back after 4 weeks of leave over Christmas and new years. I don't usually dress up for a work from home day, sticking with loungewear or pyjamas but I was also spending time with my mum and sister in the afternoon, since our 3 day lockdown was thankfully lifted at the end of the 3 days! Simple shorts and tee for a busy day full off meetings while trying to get my brain back into work gear and catch up on everything I missed while I was away.

I really like colour of this tee. "Washed red clay" is a good description and it went so nicely with the black printed shorts, another summer staple for me. I wasn't sure the almond colour of the Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag would work with this at first, but when I tried it I thought it was a good neutral with the reddish tee. I didn't need to carry much so it was a good bag choice!

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

I wore this outfit during Brisbane's 3 day lockdown, before the outfit above. While I was mostly at home, we were allowed to leave the house for exercise, so after watching the premier's morning update on restrictions and case numbers I took the chance to be the one to take the kids and Cooper out for a walk along a neighbourhood trail, and give hubby a bit of quiet at home. With the new mask guidelines I did have to wear a mask the entire time I was out the house, which was not the most comfortable thing on a walk on a humid day, but we weren't out long. We saw so many other masked dog walkers trying to get out before the day heated up too much too. Thankfully the boys understood the need to not pat all the dogs and try keep our distance. Cooper of course was too excited to see other dogs, but we have a pretty long leash to let them do their little doggy meet and greet 😂

With the terracotta stripes on this tee I wasn't sure if it would bee too Christmas-y with the olive shorts, but I think the stripes are small enough and on the terracotta side enough that it was a nice pairing together. I may repeat this around December though and make it more festive with more red! As I didn't need to carry much, just my phone and hand sanitiser with me on the walk, this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag was perfect, and everything was comfortable enough to wear when relaxing with the kids back at home too. Simple and comfortable for a very quiet Sunday at home.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is the most basic of wardrobe staples. For something a little different you can try adding a print, like I have with the printed shorts in the first outfit or the striped tee in the second outfit. So easy to do but changes up a staple outfit a little.

The Magnificent 8: Pearls!

Time for another Magnificent 8 post! Every quarter we pick a theme and all style it in our own unique ways, showing you different ideas to try across multiple age groups. Because you can be stylish at any age! 

Our theme today is pearls. I have a few pearl accessories I like wearing a lot when the weather warms up, and it's been a very hot spring so far! Sharing two different outfits I've worn recently, a casual outfit with real freshwater pearls and a more dressed up one with faux pearls.

What I wore:

Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral with grey tee olive embroidered shorts converse | away from blue

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond with yellow kimono | away from the blue

awayfromblue instagram | casual pearl necklace outfit grey tee olive shorts yellow kimono


JacketJeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This freshwater pearl necklace is a firm favourite and is one I constantly wear on repeat! It's been worn over 34 times since I bought it. I love the long length and the mix of textures with the leather tassel and the coin pendant. It just goes with everything and is a great touch with a casual outfit. Freshwater pearls are perfect for a casual outfit, you don't have to dress up in pearls!

The olive embroidered shorts are so nice to wear in summer, being a soft pull-on style. I like wearing them with yellow and this yellow printed kimono is such a summery combination. As the kimono is so bold I went with a classic neutral grey tee as a base, and a tan bag. Even if this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag does struggle to fit both my things and my son's water bottle we brought along for our little walk on our fave trail after the school pick up!






What I wore:

Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress with pearl necklace bracelet and quilted rebecca minkoff edie | awayfromblue

faux pearl accessories with Rebecca Minkoff small Edie quilted crossbody bag | away from blue

awayfromblue Instagram | blue printed maxi dress with magenta pink crossbody edie bag and pearl necklace bracelet stack spring playdate outfit

Earrings: Juicy Couture bow stud earrings
NecklaceRoie Designs faux pearl and black satin ribbon necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

This is a slightly more dressed up outfit - although still just as comfortable for a hot and humid day! This time around I accessorised with some faux pearls. This necklace is fun and it ties with a long black ribbon in the back, so very comfortable to wear in spring and summer! I added the faux pearl bracelet stack too, again to try make my casual jersey maxi dress seem a little more pulled together. We had a playdate with one of my son's friends from school, which was really good. I'd expected to have more playdates this year but the virus has made it tricky!

With the faux pearls and blue printed maxi dress I wanted to add a little extra colour so I went with this Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag in magenta. It really pops with navy and I like how the quilted style makes the outfit a little dressier too.

Had thought about wearing sandals with this but as all mine have buckles and I wasn't sure on the "shoes in the house" policy at my son's friend's place I decided on these silver slip on ballet flats instead so I could easily remove them if needed. I've worn them a lot with this dress in the past, it's a nice combination, especially with the silver hardware on the bag.



How You Can Wear It:

Pearls are a really versatile accessory! Real or faux they are so easy to add to an outfit, no matter your style. You can try a necklace, bracelets, or even earrings and you can get pearl embellished clothing too!

Two Ways To Wear a Mustard Cardigan: With Green and Orange

This mustard cardigan was an awesome opshop find and just $2! It's a great way to add more colour to a winter outfit. I decided to be really colourful when I wore it recently and paired it with some other bright colours: green and orange.

What I wore:

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond | away from the blue

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I really like green with yellow, and it's not the first time I've worn these green skinny jeans with yellow. I loved the bright combination, nice and cheerful for a wet day. It started raining on me as I took these pics!

Thankfully we didn't get too wet at school pick up and drop off, and the rest of the day I was working from home so I was cosy and dry. Jeans and a tee is a perfect work from home outfit, and this cardigan was a much dressier alternative for keeping warm than my daggy old bathrobe when I had a zoom call 😂

With the turquoise tassel necklace adding a little more colour too I went with a neutral bag, this Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag is a classic that goes with so much.



What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This was inspired by an outfit I saw on Instagram on theshoestringshopper. As soon as I saw her orange and yellow outfit I wanted to try it myself with this orange tee and my mustard yellow cardigan. She was inspired by someone else to try it too, it's good seeing how inspiration spreads on Instagram!

I really liked this combo! It was something very different for me and I did feel very visible for school pickup and drop off and sitting on the sidelines of the gym as my son returned to his regular sports sessions. Feels like life is getting so busy now that things are reopening, but it's good to return to regular routines.

Despite a busy evening, we still had plenty of time for a browse in Kmart after dropping my eldest son off at school. No luck getting more pantry containers I'd hoped for, the stock shortage is painfully clear in many aisles. My little one did help me pick out some more Little People, Big Dreams books for our collection though! Kmart has them for $8 each, half the price of everywhere else I've seen them.

Stuck with the Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag to balance out the brights, as well as my grey skinny jeans as black felt a bit too harsh.


Last worn: mustard cardigan (above), marigold tee, tortoiseshell necklace, grey skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above). 

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and chambray skirt, marigold tee over a dress, grey skinny jeans and leopard print, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi dress

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in third trimester


How You Can Wear It:

Mustard is a very versatile shade of yellow! You can use a mustard cardigan to bring some colour to darker or neutral winter layers. It works equally well paired with other bright things in your outfit too like the green skinny jeans or the orange tee.

Kimonos In Winter With Skinny Jeans, Grey Tees and Converse

Sticking with the jeans and tee outfit formula that has been on repeat lately - it's perfect for winter days! To mix things up a little, I'm wearing some slightly different colour schemes with grey tees, red (and burgundy) jeans, and then some very different kimonos to suit the different temperatures that week!

What I wore:


Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Top: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I was glad it was a warm day to give me another chance to wear this duster kimono - I picked it up in the January sales and while it was a complete impulse buy I've been liking how easy it's been to integrate into my wardrobe. I've used the colours in the prints to match it to yellow and a different shade of red before, I knew it would make a great matchy-matchy combo with these red skinny jeans.

Like the skinny jeans that were a thrift find, this grey tunic was another opshop find. And since I got it in a "fill a bag for $5" sale it works out to about 63 cents! With the bright jeans and the printed kimono I thought a nice neutral grey tee was a great piece to wear in between and I was hoping the thrifted pieces would bring me luck at the opshop! I really liked the silver necklace with this outfit too, even if the hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag is gold.

After the school drop off the little one and I headed out to our recently reopened opshop. There were a few new rules, such as using hand sanitiser and wearing the provided gloves, but it's a small store so actual social distancing was tricky! I bought a couple of things - a book for myself and some DVDs and a PJ masks playset for the kids. I didn't get a chance to look at much else as my son was fairly insistent that we had to pay for the toy and take it home right away so he could play with it 😂 It is missing a few pieces based on what I can find online but it was just $2 so I wasn't going to say no!


Last worn: floral duster kimono, grey tunic tee, silver necklace, red skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wearfloral duster kimono and shorts, grey tunic tee and pencil skirt, red skinny jeans and peplum tee, Converse and printed dresses, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and matching boots.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC vs MAB Camera Bag







What I wore:



JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe

Why I wore it:

Unlike the kimono above, this was made for winter! Last time I wore it it was much too warm, but when the winter weather arrived again later in the week this was the perfect outfit. I wore this to work from home, and to pop out in the afternoon to pick up some party supplies for my son's upcoming birthday party.

This poncho / kimono is just a big cosy knitted blanket so it was perfect for the cooler evening and so comfortable for working from home. But a more dressed up option than an actual blanket or my usual go-to bathrobe 😂

This darker grey tee is one of my favourites and it was definitely overdue a wear again! With the darker grey I thought these burgundy skinny jeans were a good accompaniment. The woven kimono makes enough of a statement on its own but I couldn't resist adding a couple extra prints with the striped Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and the tortoiseshell necklace.

The only downside to this outfit was that I kept getting the kimono caught on things all day!


How You Can Wear It:

Kimonos are fun ways to add more interest to a plain shorts and tee outfit. While a longer sleeved duster kimono might work on a warmer winter day, a cosy knitted version comes in helpful on the colder days!
