Midi Dresses and Leather Jackets With Pink Bags

Two midi dresses I thrifted recently, layered up with leather jackets for the cooler spring morning commutes to the office in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: thrifted Target Preview black shirred tartan midi dress
Shoes: pre-loved black Acne Studios Pistol boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

We had a lunch event at work so I was excited to wear this midi dress for the first time. I love the subtle grey tartan print on the black back ground, and it was only $1! I wore it with these black Acne Pistol boots I scored on ebay recently.

With the black boots and black dress, I definitely needed more colour, so I wore this cobalt blue leather jacket and the little neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I love the pop of neon pink against the black. The leather jacket was a good choice too - the statement blouson sleeves on this dress made me worried it wouldn't fit under the jacket, but it was roomy enough it was easy to layer over all the extra fabric.

With the square neckline I wasn't sure what necklace to wear, so I went with these pretty silver statement earrings instead.


Last worn: silver leaf earrings, cobalt leather jacket, neon pink mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the tartan midi dress and the black ankle boots as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket worn 30 ways, neon pink mini MAC and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart Anko short sleeve wrap chambray tiered midi dress
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

Another midi dress and pink bag outfit! While this magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is also an opshop find, the dress was a retail purchase - a Kmart clearance find I couldn't resist. Last time I wore it I paired it with ankle boots, but as I can't wear boots too many days in a row with my knee injury, this time around I wore my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers with it.

Again I went with statement earrings, these pretty magenta ones to match my bag, I love a bit of matchy-matchy! But I added a necklace to this outfit too. I did wish I'd worn a scarf as it was a cooler morning, but the leather jacket kept me warm enough on the commute home from the office. It was just in the morning I wished I'd had an extra layer.


Last worn: Jeanswest leather jacket, statement magenta earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, chambray tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and jeans, chambray tiered midi dress and boots, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag and black dress.

Kmart Midi Dresses With Ankle Boots and Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan Bag

Wearing my Acne Studios Pistol ankle boots again, with two Kmart midi dresses for recent office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko oversized cropped denim trench coat (new purchase)
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

Excited to share this first outfit with this new Kmart oversized cropped denim trench coat I got! I picked it up on clearance in store for just $5. It's so similar to the longline version I have, just a cropped style. it's a thicker denim as well which was perfect for keeping me warm on the cooler commute, especially paired with this teal long sleeved dress.

The floral teal dress is from Kmart as well, despite trying hard not to buy clothing items new I can never resist a browse in the Kmart clearance section. I bought the teal floral midi dress near the end of 2019 and it's already passed 20 wears so definitely getting a good amount of wear from my purchase.

I wore my Acne Pistol boots with this outfit, after getting them resolved recently. And I picked the Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag as it had been a while since I'd worn it. And as my friend pointed out, the tassels match the tassel zipper pulls on the ankle boots nicely! Easy outfit for the office.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, silver heart necklace, teal floral midi dress, Acne Pistol boots, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag. It's the first time I've posted the jacket as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress and trench coat, Acne Pistol boots and mini dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Dress: Kmart Anko short sleeve wrap chambray tiered midi dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This midi dress is another Kmart clearance find! Not sure if it means I stumble across a lot of bargains there or that I just shop there too often...but I'd seen this dress in store a few times and liked it but when I saw it reduced to just $10 I knew I had to have it! The sleeves are short, not down to my elbows, so I needed a warmer layer on top for a colder morning commute and I went with this cosy Witchery leather jacket, it's really thick and warm for colder mornings and afternoons. I did wish I'd worn a scarf with this as it was a particularly cold morning!

Again I wore the little mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag, I like the pop of colour of the mustard yellow against the chambray blue of the dress, and as in the first outfit, the tassel details on the bag match the tassel zipper pulls on the Acne Studio Pistol ankle boots nicely.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, 5 station necklace, Acne Pistol boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag (above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and skirt, Acne Pistol boots and shift dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester.

Anko Denim Trench Coat With Black Blouses and Colourful Jeans

Adding a little colour to winter black blouse office outfits with colourful jeans, and combatting the cold winter commute with this Anko oversized denim trench coat.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade yellow and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Blouse: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I wore this as I needed a nice easy outfit for a day full of meetings at my desk. The black blouse is a lovely recent opshop find. It's got a bit of texture and these amazing blouson sleeves. The denim trench unfortunately covers the sleeves up, but the oversized style meant it accommodated the big sleeves nicely. With the black Converse matching the black blouse, and the neutral olive skinny jeans, I wanted to add a little pop of colour to this. This polymer clay necklace I recently made was perfect. I liked the burst of yellow against the black.

The Chloe Periwinkle Paraty bag was another little bit of matching, as it's similar to the blue denim wash on the trench coat.


Last worn: Anko denim trench coat, Seed Heritage black blouse, handmade necklace, olive green jeans, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Anko denim trench coat and dress, Seed Heritage black blouse and skirt, olive green jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit formula above, so repeated it again with another black blouse, this one also an opshop find, and another pair of colourful jeans. I haven't worn these red ones in a while, although they have been worn a lot in the past and I've achieved over 30 wears with them. it was good to get them out again for another office day.

I kept things simple, again matching the black blouse to the black Converse, and again wore the same oversized denim trench coat. I even wore another blue bag this time too, this Rebecca Minkoff deep teal croc embossed Love Too bag.


Last worn: oversized denim trench coat (above), black batwing blouse, bronze beaded necklace, red jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Striped Dresses, Kmart Denim Trench Coat and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Another two very similar outfits, following the exact same outfit formula. Wearing striped dresses with fleece lined tights, ankle boots, my Kmart Anko oversized denim trench coat and Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for some winter office days back in August.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade purple polymer clay beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Rita stripe jersey dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I last wore this Jeanswest striped fit and flare dress! I felt like it was overdue another wear. While it is sleeveless I layered a long sleeved tee underneath to keep me warm, and with the thick fabric on the dress and the fleece lined tights and ankle boots I was warm enough with this denim trench for the cold commute.

I couldn't resist going a little bit matchy-matchy with the mauve Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, matching the lilac beads in this beaded necklace I made. I got some polymer clay and myself and my son made some beads since I really enjoy wearing this style of necklace. I liked how well the bag and necklace matched together.



Last worn: denim trench coat, striped dress, purple handmade necklace, black ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat, striped dress and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped fit and flare dress in second trimester, ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Target Simone woven scarf in navy foil stars
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This was an even colder winter day than the one above, so instead of wearing a simple necklace this time I added another layer with the scarf. While it doesn't match the bag this time, it does match well with the navy stripes in this thrifted dress. It's a long sleeved dress so perfectly cosy for a winter commute and day in the office, especially when paired again with fleece lined tights, and the same black ankle boots and oversized denim trench coat that I wore in the first outfit.

I think you can see how uninspired I was as winter drew to a close here in Brisbane with the very similar outfits I've been wearing, but I do love taking a classic outfit formula and wearing it multiple times! And I did end up really liking both these outfits.

Last worn: navy star foil scarf, oversized denim trench coat (above), navy stripe dress, black ankle boots (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy star foil scarf and jumper, oversized denim trench coat and jeans, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

Kmart Tiered Maxi Dresses, Leather Jackets And Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags

Adding some colour to winter office outfits with these block colour Kmart Anko tiered midi dresses, scarves and leather jackets. Both of these outfits I was wearing one of my Rebecca Minkoff Love bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl mixed print polka dots and stripes scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This was a very cold winter day, back in July. I needed all the layers to stay cosy! With this amber tiered midi dress, I often wear a lot of printed scarves. No chance of clashing as the dress has no print, and the block amber colour is a nice backdrop to show off a printed scarf. I liked this grey and white mixed print scarf, it was a cosy addition to my outfit for the winter commute and looked good in the office too.

The Adidas Superstar sneakers probably should have been swapped out for boots to keep me even warmer, but they were comfortable even if my ankles got a little chilly. 

With the orange dress adding so much colour to the outfit, I added a neutral bag to go with the grey scarf and black leather jacket and neutral shoes, this Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag.


Last worn: leather jacket, mixed print scarf, Kmart tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and stripes, mixed print scarf and knit, Kmart tiered midi dress and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office, another Kmart tiered midi dress! I have 3 of these dresses and I love how comfortable and colourful they are! Unlike the outfit above, I went a little more colourful with the accessories with this.

I added the pink Converse, although they aren't the same shade of pink as the fuchsia tiered dress I liked the two pinks together. The purple checked scarf is super warm, and added more colour. So did the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag. I went with a neutral jacket topper though, again adding a black leather jacket to keep me warm on the cold morning commute.


Last worn: Jeanswest leather jacket, checked pashmina, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and jeans, checked pashmina and neutrals, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and trench coat, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag and skirt.

Floral Print Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Two outfits with floral print dresses, Converse, a navy suede moto jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag for some different days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I really like this navy suede moto jacket paired with this navy and white floral print tiered dress. I wanted to be dressed up but not too cold for a day off where I attended an award ceremony for a family member. I thought a denim jacket or leather jacket would be too casual, this jacket seemed perfect for the formal event. I did go with casual Converse though as I had to drive a bit and while boots would have looked more formal, I had to consider my knee with all that driving.

I didn't need to carry much, just the essentials, so I went with this little black Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag. It was perfect for the basics for the ceremony and then going out for brunch afterwards.

Went a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on the bag with the gold charm necklace and gold stud earrings. I layered up some gold bracelets too but you can't see them with the long sleeves on the dress and long sleeves on the jacket covering them up.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, heart stud earrings, charm necklace, navy floral tiered dress, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and jeans, navy floral tiered dress and denim jacket, Converse and shorts, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was unfortunately not a day off! I had to head into the office, again leaving before sunrise so sorry for the low quality photo. Since I liked the navy suede jacket with the floral dress in the outfit above so much I wore the formula again on this day with this Kmart teal floral print midi dress. I really like this dress with shades of blue, so I added blue converse with the navy jacket. I went a little matchy-matchy with the teal earrings but unfortunately they are hard to see in the photo.

Again I wore my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. It's great for all the essentials and I have a big work-issued laptop bag I can slip my water bottle and lunch into.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket (above), teal tassel earrings, teal floral midi dress, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket with pink, teal floral midi dress and blazer, blue Converse and skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Printed Dresses, Leather Jackets and Pink Bags

Layering up these Kmart printed dresses for winter office days recently, with leggings, boots, and leather jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I am pleased I could get a photo of this outfit in daylight (I was working from a different office a shorter commute away so I wasn't out the door before sunrise!). I really like pink and purple with this navy and white striped dress, it's something I've worn with a few times before. And leopard print and stripes will always be a print mix I enjoy wearing too. The purple leopard print scarf kept me cosy both in the cooler morning commute and in the office - the aircon there is always super cold!

I liked this dress with the leggings and tall boots too, although it warmed up enough in the afternoon for school pick up that the leather jacket wasn't really needed.


Last worn: gum leaf earrings, leather jacket, purple leopard scarf, navy stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and skirt, purple leopard scarf and jeans, navy stripe dress and denim jacket, tan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple leopard scarf in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Another pink Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag with a printed dress, leather jacket, leggings and boots. I liked this little pink mini 5-zip bag in this outfit, although it's a different shade from the pink in the floral wisteria print of the dress I think it compliments the pinks and blues nicely. I added another shade of pink with the statement dangly earrings too.

The cobalt leather jacket is a different shade of blue from the pastel blue of the dress as well, but I really liked the pop of colour it adds to this outfit. It's a really fun piece to wear in winter.

Didn't wear a scarf with this, although I did knot up the neckline of the dress for a little extra warmth in the colder morning.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, cobalt leather jacket, Kmart black floral print midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: blue leather jacket worn 30 ways, Kmart black floral print midi dress and trench coat, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Leopard Print, Trench Coats And Jeans

Layering up two leopard print tops for the office with trench coats and skinny jeans. The colder morning commutes to work have had me pulling out my thickest, warmest jackets and all my jeans!

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Shirts: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

This leopard print shirt from my sister's wardrobe is a good neutral, but with the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and the tan trench coat it was a bit too neutral. So I added a lot of pink, with the pale pink Converse, fuchsia pink statement earrings and the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag. I felt all the different shades of pink with this cheered this outfit up nicely for a day in the office.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the shirt. It's a nice oversized style with batwing sleeves but this is the first time I have worn it untucked and it was sliding about everywhere. I had a tank underneath for warmth more than anything but I was grateful of it a few times as the shirt slid down. It's going to be donated, too fiddly for me to wear unless I only want to tuck it in, now I see why my sister no longer wanted it!


Last worn: camel trench coat, statement fuchsia earrings, leopard print shirt, Nobody Denim jeans, pink Converse, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag.

Other ways to wear: tan trench coat worn 30 ways, leopard print shirt and skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, pink Converse and skirt, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag at 37 weeks.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Earrings: Kmart blue fringe crescent statement earrings
Top: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

I don't wear this pretty blue silk leopard print blouse enough! It's handwash only which means I'm not even brave enough to try it in the washing machine handwash cycle with most of my clothes - I actually need to take the time to handwash it separately. It's so pretty though, I love the print and the mix of prints on the tassel ties and sleeves (which are striped). Sadly as this was one of the days I had to be up and in the office early, the sun hadn't risen enough to see that detail in the photos.

Just like the outfit above I wore black skinny jeans and sneakers. I added a little extra colour to this with the purple Chloe Paraty bag too. I always like adding more colour with a bag.

Last worn: navy tassel earrings, navy mac trench coat, leopard print blouse, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy mac trench coat and dress, leopard print blouse without jacket, black skinny jeans and stripes, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and dress.

Black Skinny Jeans, Blouses and Denim Trench Coat

Wearing my Kmart denim trench coat again, with black skinny jeans, blue Converse and blouses for winter office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Top: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Despite it being a super cold winter day I had an event at work I wanted to dress up for. I caved and went with jeans for warmth, and had a singlet layered under this silky blouse. With the long sleeves it kept me warm and I felt it dressed up my jeans a little more, especially when paired with this silver statement necklace. The funniest thing was when I saw mum in the afternoon, she was also wearing a silky blouse like this, just in blue!

With the denim trench and the Nobody Denim skinny jeans this was a lot of denim, but I didn't have to wear my trench in the office. I added a little extra blue against the trench though with the blue Converse and the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Last worn: denim trench coat, silver hoop earrings, silver necklace, silky blouse, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and dress, silky blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Top: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Another long sleeved jewel toned blouse with black jeans, this navy studded one this time. Again I wore the denim trench, it's been keeping me quite cosy in the cooler morning and afternoon commutes to work. As this navy blouse is studded I skipped the necklace, and just added these purple statement earrings. I wanted a purple bag to be a bit matchy-matchy, and although this raisin purple Balenciaga work bag isn't an exact match with the purple earrings I liked the two together.

Again I wore my blue Converse. They are becoming a go-to with this denim trench, even though like the bag and earrings they aren't exact shade matches.


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, denim trench coat (above), navy blouse, faded black skinny jeans, blue Converse (above), purple Balenciaga work bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and dress, navy blouse and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and stripes, blue Converse and maxi skirt, purple Balenciaga work bag.
