Two Ways To Wear: Long Leopard Print Cardigan

I thrifted this long leopard print cardigan last month, and like everything I add to my wardrobe, I set myself the goal of wearing twice in the month I bought it, to make sure it works with my lifestyle. Here are two of the first ways I've worn this awesome leopard print cardigan back in July.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti leopard print long cardigan
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart tiered little black dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

This dress is another recent opshop find, I thrifted it and the cardigan together, and I knew they would make a great combination. Just like last time I wore this dress, I found it stuck to the leggings a bit. I am looking forward to warmer spring weather arriving in Brisbane soon, and counting down the days until the end of winter! Leggings aside, I really liked this outfit! I was working from home as I had an appointment and a couple of extra errands to run in the afternoon before school pick up.

This leopard print cardigan and the tall tan boots kept me cosy. I really liked the pink accessories with this too, it's been a while since I've worn this Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag so it was overdue another wear.

Last worn: leopard print cardigan, geometric bead necklace, black dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and jeans, black dress and denim jacket, tan boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag with florals.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti leopard print long cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: thrifted Target cotton and modal relaxed red tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was another working from home day, with the school pick up and then sports in the evening. I needed to be warm for the evening but comfortable during the day, so I layered up my go-to jeans and tee working from home outfit with this leopard print cardigan. I liked the extra print it added to this outfit, and it was nice and cosy for the evening as well, although I did have to add a scarf then. With the black skinny jeans and black Converse, I went with the dark Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. It's also an opshop find, and is just a really deep navy. 

With all the neutrals, I felt the red tee was the perfect touch of colour with this.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan (above), feather necklace, red tee, skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and pink, red tee and skirt, skinny jeans and graphic tee, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Leopard Print Cardigans, Pink Tees and Jeans

Two similar outfits, with thrifted leopard print cardigans, pink tees, black skinny jeans and Converse for some recent working from home days.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti leopard print long cardigan (new purchase)
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade purple polymer clay beaded necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

First time I've worn this cardigan on the blog. it was a very lucky opshop find! I'm always on the hunt for cute cardigans and I've been really lucky recently with finding them! This one is a nice addition to my wardrobe, and I like pink and leopard print together so this ombre pink tee seemed like an obvious choice. I went matchy-matchy with the pink Converse, although it's a different shade of pink from the tee I liked the two pinks together, and I added the purple necklace for a little more colour.

Nice casual outfit for a vet appointment, the school run, and working from home.


Last worn: pearl earrings, ombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the cardigan as it's a recent opshop purchase, and first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: ombre pink tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and graphic tee, pink Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated the formula again with different pieces. I wore black Converse this time, matching the black skinny jeans and the black background on this black and white leopard print cardigan. like the cardigan in the first outfit, this was also an opshop find! It's nice to have some printed cardigans to add a little extra interest to block colour tees like this pink one in winter. Again I went with a darker bag, this Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. I was working from home, did the school run, and also had a physio appointment, so this Cupid bag was perfect for fitting all my essentials plus my latest library read.

Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan, neutral beaded necklace, pink tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and skirt, pink tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Pink and Blue: Tiered Midi Dresses and Trench Coats

Two tiered dresses for the office with trench coats. Both of these outfits have scarves to combat the colder winter mornings in Brisbane currently, and feature pink and blue.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Boots: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a bittersweet day! We had a team lunch to celebrate one of our colleagues moving to a new team. I wanted to be a little dressed up for it, but also warm, as the restaurant was partially outdoors, and I had a bunch of meetings that day too. This cosy ombre pink pashmina scarf was a perfect cosy layer, and the navy trench coat was a practical choice as well. I actually ended up taking my scarf off at lunch as we got situated under the heater and it was quite toasty!

I picked this Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote to wear to fit in the card we had all put together for my colleague, and then the black ankle boots were an obvious matchy choice with that. I did wish I'd worn taller boots though, it was a bit of a windy day and that tiny little gap of leg above the boots that showed when the wind picked up the hem of the dress got a bit cold!


Last worn: navy mac, pink ombre scarf, navy and white tiered midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy mac and dress, pink ombre scarf and jeans, navy and white tiered midi dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat

Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another tiered midi dress for the office, with the same black ankle boots. It was not quite as windy a day, so the little gap between the hem of the dress and top of my boots didn't make me too cold. Again I went with darker bag to match the boots. This Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag photographs as a black bag but it's just a very dark navy. I like pairing it with these boots.

I layered up this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with this cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl - it's so warm for winter! And my lined camel trench coat, always a staple in winter weather.


Last worn: tan trench coat, silver hoop earrings, Louis Vuitton shawl, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress, black ankle boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: tan trench coat worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton shawl and stripes, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress and yellow, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Kisschasy Band Tees, Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Converse

Wore two of my Kisschasy band tees recently with maxi skirts, denim jackets and Converse.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a warmer winter day so I wore this denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up. It was the perfect layer over this Kisschasy band tee and red tiered maxi skirt. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag as I needed a large bag for all the essentials and a water bottle as well as my camera, as the kids were competing in sports and I went along to support them. I had a couple of errands to run as well, including taking the dogs for a bath and clip. This was a really comfortable outfit for that.

I liked how the coral red of the tiered maxi skirt tied in with the red text and graphic on the band tee. It was a nice matchy-matchy outfit for the first wearing of this tee.


Last worn: denim jacket, gold earrings, tiered maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, tiered maxi skirt and leather jacket, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another little more subtle matchy-matchy, with the red dinosaur skeleton earrings to match the red in the graphic print on this Kisschasy band tee. I wasn't too sure about wearing this bold graphic print tee with the pinstripe maxi skirt, but I'm glad I gave it a go as I ended up really liking this pattern mix.

I think the pinstripe is delicate and fine enough it doesn't give too much of a pattern clash, and the denim jacket was a good topper too. This was a bit of a cooler day, but I didn't have to be outside long as I had school drop off and then working from home for the rest of the day, and then school pickup. As I only needed the essentials I just wore this little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, denim jacket, Kisschasy band tee, pinstripe maxi skirt, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, Kisschasy band tee and jeans, pinstripe maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Floral Dresses and Black Bags

Two colourful floral print dress outfits I've worn with black strappy sandals and black Rebecca Minkoff bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold angel stud earrings
Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

I had a hard time picking what to wear for this day as I had to WFH in the morning, but picked my son up from school early for an important appointment.

In the end I settled on this pretty red floral tiered maxi dress I'd worn recently for a birthday party, along with simple black sandals and my black unlined Rebecca Minkoff tote bag to store a copy of some of the documents we needed to bring.

This was the perfect outfit to wear in the end - the dress even has pockets, it makes me smile every time I wear it as the print and colours are just so cheerful. Might have been a little overdressed for working from home, but it was comfortable and was ideal for that afternoon appointment, and for when my mum and sister came over in the evening.


Last worn: gold angel stud earrings, For King & Country necklace, Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress for Christmas, strappy sandals and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart classic denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler day so I was happy to wear this denim jacket over the floral babydoll dress for church. I got the denim jacket from the opshop in one of our pre-Christmas opshopping trips, when I saw it I grabbed it right away! Luckily it was my size so mum got it for me for Christmas. I liked the darker blue denim with the light pastel floral print on the dress.

Again I went with black sandals as it wasn't that cold, and it did warm up nicely later. I also wore my little Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, as I felt I hadn't taken it out in a while, and it matches nicely with the sandals. It's actually a really dark navy, but when the bag and shoes are worn far apart they both look black.

Last worn: Tiffany necklace, floral babydoll dress, black sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: floral babydoll dress and blazer, black sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

Black Denim, Pink Tees, Cupid Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Pink tees with printed cover ups, my thrifted Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and black denim. Autumn weather is slowly starting to arrive in Brisbane, so some days I'm in jeans as it's cooler, other days it's back to denim skirts and bare legs.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable outfit for the school run and working from home, jeans and a tee was perfect. With the peaches in the floral print of this burgundy cover up I thought I'd try the ombre pink tee with it for something different, and I really liked this combination.

Kept the rest of the outfit simple and neutral with the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and the black skinny jeans.


Last worn: burgundy floral print cover up, silicone necklace, ombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: burgundy floral print cover up and shorts, ombre pink tee and white denim, black skinny jeans and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another pink tee and black denim outfit, this time with a denim skirt as it was much too warm for jeans. This navy tie dye duster was a good physical sunblock and I liked the way it moves around my legs when walking. With the flooding from the cyclone recently the mozzies are out in full force and it's good to have an extra something stopping them from biting my legs when I'm out dog walking in the mornings and evening when they are most active.

It's a shame that the silver hoop earrings are hard to spot in my hair here, as I liked how they were a similar shape to the necklace. I'll need to try get a clearer photo next time I wear them together, I like the pairing so they are sure to be worn together again soon!


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, silver hoop earrings, mixed metal necklace, pink modal tee, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape and jeans, pink modal tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Pink and Purple Tee and Denim Skirt Outfits With Rebecca Minkoff Cupid

Getting my black denim skirts out again, enjoying the spring weather in Brisbane! I wore both these black denim skirts recently with my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and pink and purple.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

A humid day called for bringing out my denim mini skirt again. I love this Nobody Denim one, such a staple. I scored it second hand and always enjoy wearing it. Made it more colourful with the purple tee and the pink cover up, with the blush pink tassel necklace for a little matchy-matchy even though it's not quite the same shade as the cover up. I like wearing the two together.

Wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to carry a little extra, as while I was working from home I had the school run in the morning and the afternoon, as well as a couple of errands. Unfortunately got caught in the hail storm in the afternoon, although thankfully the car wasn't damaged!


Last worn: pink cover up, blush necklace, purple tee, Nobody Denim skirt, leopard print sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: pink cover up and shorts, purple tee and jeans, Nobody Denim skirt and sequins, leopard print sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono

Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Just like the day above, another copycat outfit formula. I went for a pink tee this time with a purple printed over up and my black denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and sandals.

This black denim skirt was a lucky opshop find. I have the same style in white I bought in store at Target, because I like this one so much. It was a nice neutral with the black strappy sandals, and the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. Both of which are opshop finds also! The pink tee is a very comfortable one I always like wearing, although I haven't worn it with this purple printed cover up before. I liked the two together. I picked this neutral necklace to accessorise a little as I had a few video calls while working from home. Thankfully no storms impacted the school run this time.


Last worn: purple printed cover up, terrazzo necklace, pink tee, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: purple printed cover up and shorts, pink tee and jeans, black denim skirt and leopard, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Colourful Tees With Black Knits and Skinny Jeans

Two black jeans, black Converse and black knit outfits for the school run and working from home. Both of these outfits feature a pop of colour from my tees, against all of the black.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

The first time I wore this purple tee I paired it with a lot of black, and really liked the resulting outfit, so I tried it again and also loved this outfit too! This time I went with a plain black knit, this cosy cocoon cardigan, and my Sass and Bide Playman printed skinny jeans to add a little more interest to my outfit.

Everything else was really muted and dark and neutral and I think it made the purple tee pop even more! It was a warmer day so I was able to skip the scarf too, and wear this bronze foil necklace I thrifted recently, it's nice with the purple. It actually ended up being such a warm day I was able to go without the cardigan later in the afternoon, after working from home and when running a couple of errands before school pick up.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, purple tee, Sass and Bide playman printed jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.
 
Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, purple tee and black and white knit, Sass and Bide playman printed jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler day than the one above so I was glad I'd chosen to wear this cosy knitted poncho. It keeps me so warm in winter! Just like in the outfit above, I went with a colourful tee and a lot of black. The knit added some extra print and interest, and I really like this knit with pink tees, it's not the first time I've worn this combination. Again I wore my black Converse and black skinny jeans, but I felt this outfit needed a little extra colour so I added the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC I recently redyed.

Just like the first outfit, I was able to go without a scarf and picked one of my recently thrifted necklaces to wear. I liked the neutral beads with the pink and black outfit.

This was nice and comfortable for working from home and then the school run in the afternoon.


Last worn: knitted poncho, pale pink tee, zip detail jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: knitted poncho with stripes, pale pink tee and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Tiered Maxi Dresses and Leopard Print Scarves

Adding a little extra colour and print to two Kmart tiered maxi dress outfits for Brisbane's winter with leather jackets and leopard print scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Felt this scarf was overdue a wear - an impulse $5 sale buy when I walked past a store years ago, I still love it today! With the denim tiered maxi dress, I felt it added a nice pop of colour and print, and with the black leather jacket, kept me cosy for a cold winter day. I had the school run, an appointment for my youngest, then dropping him off at school for the rest of the day and running a few errands myself before school pick up.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a practical choice to carry all the little extras I needed over the day. The navy Sketchers sneakers were a practical choice too as the appointment was at a specialist a bit of a drive away and I needed something comfortable to wear on my knee with all that driving, as I aggravated my old knee injury again when walking the dogs.

Last worn: black leather jacket, leopard print scarf, denim dress, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and printed jeans, leopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacket, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Surprised to see I haven't worn this orange tiered midi dress with this cobalt jacket before, it's such a fun and colourful winter combination! I needed a little extra warmth for an early morning appointment for myself, and yet more errands. I added the leopard print scarf just like in the outfit above for a little extra print. I liked this outfit formula in both of these resulting outfits, it was good to wear it again!

I did end up taking the jacket off when it warmed up a little later that morning though, wasn't a necessity for a little opshop browsing I did before I headed home. Just like the outfit above, I'd picked the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to wear as I had a few things and some paperwork to carry around.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, silver earrings, leopard print scarf, orange tiered maxi dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and ombre knit, orange tiered maxi dress and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.
