Pink Tees and Printed Shorts

Although it's officialy autumn now in Brisbane, I wore these outfits back in summer. It had been a particularly hot summer, so I defaulted to shorts and tee outfits like this a lot! Both of these outfits have printed shorts and pink tees.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see in my blog archives I haven't worn this ombre pink tee and the black printed shorts together before! I really like wearing these cute black printed shorts with pink, and this tee is such a good pairing.

Had a very quiet day with the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment so shorts and a tee (and practical sneakers) was a good choice for the day. I added a bit of matchy-matchy with the navy Sketchers and the navy beads in the necklace. And then added another print against the black printed shorts with the hand illustrated Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag. I really like wearing it with pink!


Last worn: ombre pink tee, statement necklace, black printed shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: ombre pink tee and blazer, black printed shorts and cardigan, Sketchers and sundress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
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:

Another shorts and tee outfit for the school run and working from home. Despite a rainy start to the day, it was still a hot and humid one, so I appreciated this slouchy soft pink tee and the loose relaxed culotte shorts. With the different shades of pink in the tee and the print of the shorts, I added the neutral beaded necklace to keep it simple.

Stuck with blue accessories, with the blue Converse and this Luna blue Edie shoulder bag which works so well with pink and with navy.


Last worn: pink modal tee, statement necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: pink modal tee and jeans, navy printed culotte shorts and knit, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and skirt.

Tiered Midi Dresses, Blue Converse and Rebeca Minkoff Edie Shoulder Bag

Before the Christmas break, I wore these two pretty tiered midi dresses with some blue accessories for days in the office. Despite the very different colours of both dresses, they are accessorised with the same blue Converse and Luna Blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, as the shades of blue work so well with both pink and orange.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

I really like wearing this pink dress with blue accessories! Both the slate blue of the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and the lighter blue of the Converse work really well with the bright fuchsia pink of the midi dress. It's one of my favourites!

I added the silver and turquoise bracelet stack for another little touch of blue with this, and then the silver circle necklace as it matches so nicely with the silver hardware on the Edie shoulder bag.

Last worn: fuchsia tiered midi dress, silver circle necklace, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: fuchsia tiered midi dress and denim jacket, blue Converse and sundress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and jeans.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
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:

Another Kmart tiered midi dress! This was the first one I got, that kick started my collection 😅 Just like the bold fuchsia pink above, the amber orange of this midi dress works so well with blue. So much so that I wore the exact bag and shoe combination with this dress as well! Despite being different shades of blue, the converse and the Luna blue Edie bag are lovely together.

Just like in the first outfit, I added a little extra blue with this gold and blue statement necklace. Nice easy outfit for another day in the office.


Last worn: amber tiered midi dress, gold and blue necklace, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: amber tiered midi dress worn 2 ways, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and pencil skirt

Colourful Jeans and Cosy Cardigans With Edie Shoulder Bag

Switching it up a little and setting aside my darker black and grey jeans. I wore some fun colourful pairs to add a little brightness to my cosy cardigan and jeans and tee outfits recently. Both outfits accessorised with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue, that works perfectly with both pink and red.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Tee: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a beautifully warm weekend! I definitely didn't need the cardigan much during the day, although it was appreciated in the evening. We headed out to pick up a family member from the airport who we hadn't seen in a while, the kids were so excited. I felt that the black tee, even with the magenta jeans, was a bit plain, so this leopard print knit was a nice way to add a little more print and interest to the basic jeans and tee outfit.

Couldn't decide on a necklace, and tried on a few, but I liked the pop of colour this thrifted silver and turquoise one added, and how the silver matched the hardware and chain strap on the Edie bag.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, turquoise necklace, black tee, Sass and Bide jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and dress, black tee and maxi skirt, Sass and Bide jeans and blue knit, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

30 Ways to Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

After a late night the previous night, I stuck to the same outfit formula the next day, with these red jeans to add a pop of colour to my outfit. A little bit of matchy-matchy with the red Coca-Cola logo on the tee too! Again, I carried the same bag I had the day before, even though I didn't need to carry much for the school run and working from home.

As it was such a chilly morning I layered up with this cosy cocoon cardigan. Like the leopard print cardigan in the first outfit, it was also an opshop find and is getting worn quite a lot this winter. Definitely getting good value from the $1 I spent on it!


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola stripe tee, red jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and skirt, Coca-Cola stripe tee with orange, red jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and pink dress.

Textured Jackets and Tiered Dresses

Making the most of warmer winter days in Brisbane by layering up some lighter dresses with a couple of heavier jackets to combat the chill in the mornings and evenings. These Kmart tiered midi dresses are wardrobe staples for me, and something I've had on frequent repeat in the warmer weather. With the addition of some textured jackets, they work into winter too.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate mother's day with the family. In the afternoon we headed down the coast for a pizza night at my parents. It was a lot of fun! This bright fuchsia pink tiered midi dress is a firm favourite of mine, and I love how it looks with blue, so the blue beaded necklace and quilted Edie shoulder bag were obvious pairings with it. Because we were having dinner and I knew it would be colder at night, I wore this jacquard jacket that hadn't been worn in a while. I liked the texture and stripes against the plain block colour of the dress. 

Comfortable Converse for the drive down the coast too.


Last worn: jacquard jacket, fuchsia tiered midi dress, beaded necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and jeans, fuchsia tiered midi dress with yellow, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: jacquard jacket in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I pulled out one of my other Kmart tiered midi dresses to recreate a similar look, again with Converse, and another textured jacket from my wardrobe. With the black necklace, black Converse and black jacket, I wasn't sure the orange dress was the best choice at first. I always worry too much orange and black together is Halloween-ish. But I ended up really liking this outfit. 

It was a school run and work from home day, so I only needed to carry this little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for all my essentials. I liked the neutral silver against the orange dress too.


Last worn: boucle jacket, beaded necklace, orange tiered midi dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: boucle jacket and pencil skirt, orange tiered midi dress and denim jacket, Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and jeans.

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

Blazers Worn 2 Ways For Magnificent 8

This quarter's Magnificent 8 theme is blazers! Which is perfect timing for me, as I've been in the office more often, and as the autumn weather has finally started to arrive in Brisbane, I've been wearing my blazers more!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

My favourite way to wear a blazer is to pair it with jeans, and so I was really happy it was a cool enough morning to wear this outfit! My mum gave me these white jeans for Christmas. I'd been looking for white jeans for a while and tried on so many pairs, but when I saw these cropped Dannii Minogue ones at Target I knew I'd found the perfect pair. Mum bought me for me and I've been patiently waiting for the weather to be cool enough to wear them.

My office was on the casual end of business casual, even before the pandemic, so a bit of double denim on a weekday with this chambray cami was perfect. Especially with the blush blazer to make it just a little more formal. I really liked the lighter colours of this outfit, and how I managed to keep the white jeans clean for the whole day!


Last worn: blush blazer, chambray cami, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. It's the first time I've worn the white jeans as they were a Christmas gift, and the first time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn two ways, chambray cami and denim skirt, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with fuchsia dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

I like blazers and shorts too, although I definitely don't get to wear that combination as often as I do with blazers and jeans, as the weather has to be just right for it. It was an overcast day and a cooler morning so I thought it was the perfect time to try this combination again! I really liked the pastel blue culotte shorts with the grey blazer. The navy tee was the perfect piece in between the similar tones, although I do wish it hadn't come partially untucked for the photos! The peach necklace, a recently thrifted find, I thought matched with the print on the culottes well, as did the dusty pink of the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag. 

I really liked all the colours in this outfit and the pieces together, although I was a little disappointed when I had to shed the blazer when the sun came out and the humidity rose. The blazer definitely wasn't needed for the school pick up in the afternoon!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, navy tee, printed culotte shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, navy tee and jeans, printed culotte shorts and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Printed Tanks and Pencil Skirts In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

More office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, brightening up some neutral jersey pencil skirts with colourful printed tanks, my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and some casual Converse.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Picked a very casual outfit for visiting one of our offices that is always extremely cold with the aircon. It was a hot heatwave day, so a light tank and a jersey pencil skirt were all I needed, but I appreciated the orange blazer in the office, and I packed a scarf in my bag too for when it got really cold in the aircon!

I felt the blazer and the navy statement earrings dressed up the casual outfit a little for another day in the office. I really liked the Luna blue Edie bag against the grey skirt an the blue in the printed tank too.

Didn't add a necklace, as I had the tassel earrings, and I felt the printed tank and orange blazer were enough of a statement on their own.

I much prefer this outfit to this one, when I wore the grey skirt and printed tank together but added a matching grey blazer. It's so much more fun with the orange!


Last worn: orange blazer, navy tassel earrings, printed tank, grey pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, printed tank and maxi skirt, grey pencil skirt worn two ways, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey pencil skirt in third trimester, black Converse in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Blouse: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

First time I wore this silk tank Sheila gave me I worried about it getting stained being around little kids so much - not so many worries about that when I wore it to the office! This black pencil skirt goes with everything, but I thought that it matched particularly well with this top because of the tassels and black stripes. Again I didn't wear a necklace, I felt it would compete with the tassels on the top.

The blue Edie shoulder bag doesn't match the blue in the print, but I thought it was close enough that the bag was a good accessory with this outfit.

Wore my casual Converse with this outfit for the office - they are comfortable for a long commute and I don't want to overdress, the majority of ladies in the office are wearing their Converse too!


Last worn: mixed print top, black pencil skirt, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mixed print top and jeans, black pencil skirt and navy blouse, black Converse and midi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black pencil skirt in second trimester, black Converse in second trimester.

Cardigans and Culottes With Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Can't believe it's October already! While I have made a start on some Christmas shopping and covered off the basic things I get every year like clothes and books, I always like to get some fun things just to make people smile. Gifts like a custom pet portrait of our dog Cooper for my husband, and a cuddly little mantis for my insect loving son. I find gifts for dog lovers so fun to shop for, one year I got my husband custom pet socks with Cooper's face on them that were adorable! My kids have a couple dog tees, and cuddly toys, and of course I have a couple of necklaces with our dog's little fuzzy silhouette on them. 

I'm looking forward to Cooper's portrait arriving as it will look so good next to a Shih Tzu print my mum gifted us a couple years back for our new house. I've also been buying a few things for myself while shopping for others, like this handbag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Short: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Just the usual working from home, but also doing parent teacher interviews with the kids teachers in the afternoon. It was a mix of in-classroom and over the phone interviews, so I wanted to be comfortable but not too casually dressed for the in-person ones. I have worn this pink tee with these Kmart culottes before, I really like the pink and navy together. I felt the navy waterfall cardigan made it a little more formal than just the shorts and the tee alone, and was a good cosy layer for the afternoon meetings as well when it got cooler. And it was extremely comfortable for working from home - I spent my lunch break browsing a few more online shopping sites looking for the perfect Christmas gifts!

While there is some lighter blue in the print on the culottes, it doesn't really match the darker Luna blue of the Edie shoulder bag. I still thought it was a good accessory with everything though, this bag just goes so well with other shades of blue.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, pink tee, circle necklace, Kmart printed culottes, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, pink tee and maxi skirt, Kmart printed culottes with lilac, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with pink.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse Chucks in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above so much, I repeated it again! This time a white v-neck tee, with another pair of Kmart printed culotte shorts. I thrifted these a while back for just $1, such a lucky find. The mustard yellow cardigan was an opshop find too! I wore it to keep cosy on the school run and while working from home, and also to be noticeable when surprising my kids at a performance at school. It was so hot though, squished in the crowd of parents watching, that I ended up having to take my cardigan off. Had to wave quite a bit until the boys saw me but they were so happy when they noticed me in the crowd.

Unlike the outfit above, there isn't an abundance of navy that makes the outfit look more coordinated, but I still feel everything goes together well. The pastel shorts look so good with the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag. The white tee and mustard yellow cardigan, while they also don't match, just flowed nicely with everything else.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, white tee, pastel culottes, Stan Smith sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and printed tank, white tee and blazer, pastel culottes with lilac, Stan Smith sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and orange maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a staple for warmer weather. For those in-between seasons, you can try adding a cosy and colourful cardigan on top, before spring temperatures really arrive.

Blue Tees, Pink Jeans, Grey Cardigans and Luna Blue Edie Bag

Another fun set of colourful and comfortable jeans and tee outfits. Both following the simple outfit formula of blue tee, pink jeans, converse and a grey cardigan with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
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:

These pink leopard print jeans were definitely overdue another wear! I really like wearing them with blue, so it was an easy choice to wear the blue Converse Chucks and blue tee with them. While it was a warmer winter day and a scarf wasn't needed, I did add this grey cardi. 

Although the pink and rose gold necklace isn't an exact match to the pink of the leopard print, I thought that was a nice combination. My Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great blue that goes with everything, so again while it didn't match I liked it in this outfit. It fit a library book inside my bag too as we took advantage of the public holiday and took the kids to an indoor play place. It was a beautiful day and all the other businesses in the area were shut for the holiday, so I was happy this place was open as it meant it was a little quieter than it usually is on a weekend. Perfect time to take the kids, they had a blast, and I got some reading time in as they jumped around on the play equipment!

Last worn: grey belted cardigan, blue tee, pink and gold beaded necklace, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and maxi dress, blue tee and culottes, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and orange skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden baby bump.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan
Dress: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

A very different shade of pink here, but again following the same formula as the outfit above. Pink jeans, blue tee and grey cardigan! I went with the magenta Sass and Bide jeans and the blue graphic print tee instead, to switch it up a little. No necklace this time as the design on the tee felt like enough interest for my outfit. The grey wool cardigan is a super cosy one, I needed it as it was a really cold August winter day, and I wanted the extra warmth! Did regret my choice a little though. We were heading out for a bit of shopping and to grab lunch with my mum - the shopping centre had the heaters on blast for the cold day and I was definitely sweating in this, much too warm! Needed it when we stepped back outside though.

As with the first outfit, again the Luna blue of the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag didn't match any of the shades in the outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the blue and grey still. Nice and comfortable for a quiet weekend day, just a little too warm in the shops.

Just realised when writing up this post that this is the first time I've worn this cardigan since I rescued it from my desk when I went back into the office in 2021, it had been locked away in a closed down office since 2020. 😂


Last worn: grey maxi cardigan, heart studs, Kisschasy band tee, magenta jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey maxi cardigan worn 30 ways, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral kimono, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and pink are a winning combination, and a statement pair of pink jeans can really brighten up a jeans and tee outfit.
