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.

Yellow Tees and Printed Pieces

Two yellow tee and skirts outfits I wore recently, both with statement printed pieces and a neutral little tan crossbody bag. This Rebecca Minkoff almond MAB camera bag goes with everything!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

We had a very fun afternoon planned! It was threatening to rain, but it held off in the morning, as the boys waited patiently for me to wrap up working from home so we could head to the park for a playdate. Unfortunately, the rain set in later, and we couldn't have a playdate at the park as planned. Luckily I was able to quickly get some tickets to a nearby indoor play area, along with what felt like the rest of Brisbane, and the boys were able to run around and let off some steam.

I'd picked this outfit to be colourful but comfortable. The bleached denim skirt and pastel yellow tee are really nice together, and the green floral duster on top added a little warmth when the weather cooled off later with the rain, and some extra colour for video calls as I worked.

Comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers were my choice for closed in shoes in case of rain - I was glad I'd picked them over sandals when the rain did set in!


Last worn: green floral duster, pastel yellow tee, blue and gold necklace, denim mini skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, pastel yellow tee and maxi skirt, denim mini skirt and leopard print, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond
 

Why I wore it:

Another yellow tee outfit, this time with leopard print instead of florals. I wanted something easy and again light to wear. It was a warmer day, with an eventful morning thanks to some wildlife in our garden! I won't go into detail, but suffice to say I needed a cheerful and bright outfit to take my mind off of the morning's events.

This bright mango tee and the simple animal print skirt were exactly what I needed. I liked how well the almond MAB camera bag worked with the bright yellow tee as well as the browns in the animal print skirt. Comfortable Converse were a must too as we set off for DFO outlets to do a bit of birthday shopping for an upcoming birthday. It was a lovely relaxed day, we were very successful in our shopping and we all walked away for something with ourselves too, as usually happens! I picked up a tee in the last store we were in, reduced to just $10!


Last worn: yellow tee, gold circle necklace, leopard print skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Other ways to wear: yellow tee and shorts, leopard print skirt and leather jacket, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

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:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee (gift from my sister)
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and skirt, burgundy jeans and leather jacket, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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).

Other ways to wear: tie dye cape and shorts, graphic tee and stripes, olive jeans worn 30 ways, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi skirt.

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:

Cami: H&M blue floral crinkle knot front button down cami
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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.


Last worn: mint cami, circle necklace, Kmart fuchsia linen shorts, rose gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mint cami and denim mini, Kmart fuchsia linen shorts with yellow, rose gold sandals and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and mustard cardi.

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:

Scarf: Fashion 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
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Other ways to wear: vintage metallic knit and black jeans, navy mixed print scarf with mustard tee, olive skinny jeans for long-haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and floral dress.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag and Mini MAC Comparison

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Last worn: foil polka dot knit, navy MbMJ scarf, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: foil polka dot knit and shorts, navy MbMJ scarf with monochrome outfit, burgundy jeans and kimono, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and maxi.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC in third trimester.

---

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.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca 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!


Last worn: feather necklace, black printed shorts, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera bag. First time I've worn the tee as it was a boxing day sale find.

Other ways to wear: black printed shorts in monochrome outfit, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera bag and floral dress.

What's In My Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The one fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca 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.


Last worn: olive embroidered shorts, navy and gold beaded necklace, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Other ways to wear: olive embroidered shorts and kimono, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi dress.

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:

Jacket: Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca 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!

Last worn: yellow kimono, pearl tassel necklace, grey tee, olive embroidered shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: yellow kimono and printed tee, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive embroidered shorts and stripes, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and floral dress.

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

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Juicy Couture bow stud earrings
Necklace: Roie Designs faux pearl and black satin ribbon necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Last worn: blue printed maxi dress, faux pearl necklace, faux pearl bracelet stack, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag.

Other ways to wear: blue printed maxi dress layered with a knit, silver ballet flats and printed skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue printed maxi dress at 39 weeks, silver ballet flats in third trimester.

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:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, green skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag. 

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and navy dress, stripe tee worn two ways, green skinny jeans with blue, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and floral dresses. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Whats In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca 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.
