Blue And Green Shorts Tee Duster Outfits

I really like wearing blue and green together! I definitely don't agree with the "blue and green should never be seen" saying! Both these shorts and tee outfits feature different shades of blue and green together.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We headed out to join in a science walk for Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count. The kids had a great time running around with their nets catching and identifying a bunch of different insects. We caught a few dragonflies along with the butterflies, and it was so interesting learning about them from the entomologist that joined us. Although I'm sure that we double caught some butterflies a few times, as the kids kept running backwards and forwards and as soon as one was released someone else was on its tail!

Needed a good practical outfit for a bush walk on a warm day, shorts and tee and sneakers were perfect. This black tee and denim Bermuda shorts felt a bit plain, even with the yellow necklace adding a little colour. So I added the green floral duster on top. Good for extra sun coverage and a little more colour. The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag really pops against the green duster, and it was a good size for carrying all our water bottles.


Last worn: green floral duster, black textured tee, yellow necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to weargreen floral duster and dress, black textured tee and printed shorts, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Sketchers and sundress, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and jeans.







What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

I had a shorter work day, just working from home, because as well as the school run I had an appointment in the afternoon. Even had time for a super quick browse of my local opshop before picking up the kids.

Just like in the outfit above, I wanted to be comfortable. I haven't worn these olive embroidered shorts for a while but they are such a great piece as olive goes with so much. I really liked the navy tee with them, and then I added more green and blue with the brighter palm print cover up. I added yet another shade of blue with the electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag also. I liked all these different shades of blue and green together.


Last worn: palm print cover up, heart charm necklace, navy tee, olive embroidered shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag.

Red and Black Tee and Denim Outfits With Printed Cover Ups

Two outfits both featuring black and red, with tees, denim and printed cover ups for a few days with the kids recently.


What I wore:




JacketThe Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee (new purchase)
Shorts: thrifted red denim shorts (new purchase)
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! For the Ekka holiday we had a quiet one and attend a local nature walk. It was so nice getting out in the warm weather, and the kids learned a lot and had so much fun spotting different creatures as we hiked. We treated ourselves to some ice cream after too.

I wanted to wear my new shorts right away. I thrifted these recently, and I paired them with another opshop find, this black tee. A nice basic outfit for a bit of walking, and I added the printed cover up and the yellow tassel necklace to add a little more colour.

As I was carrying a camera and our water bottles, needed the large capacity of this Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.


Last worn: printed cover up, tassel necklace, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote. first time I've worn the tee and the shorts as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wearprinted cover up and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and midi dress.






What I wore:





JacketCotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This should have been a shorts day! We decided to bike to a local festival expecting traffic to be really bad, which it was. Unfortunately the day was much warmer than I expected, so the jeans I'd thought were such a good choice in the morning I quickly regretted by lunch time. I got a flat tire on my bike too which made the trip home very painful for my knee.

We did have a fun day apart from my small downsides though! The kids enjoyed a few rides and it was good to get out on our bikes. I liked the bright red and blue combination of this outfit, the tee and cover up is a combination I've worn before. I tried a little matchy-matchy with the navy necklace, blue floral print cover up, and cobalt backpack. The backpack was the obvious choice for the bike ride, and really useful. Just a shame I had nothing in it to fix a flat tire!


Last worn: blue floral print cover up, red tee, navy necklace, faded black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.

Other ways to wearblue floral print cover up and pink shorts, red tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and dress.

Orange Tees, Black Denim And Blue Julian Backpack

Some much cooler spring days last month meant layering up my jeans and tee outfits a little more with a light jacket and cardigan, in outfits I had a hard time getting a good photo of!

What I wore:

orange leopard print tee with black nobody denim skinny jeans light jacket julian backpack | awayfromblue

black jacket with Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted black Emerson drawstring waist utility jacket
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

I feel this outfit looks quite unimpressive in the pics but I really loved it! I'm not sure why I don't wear this neon orange leopard print tee more often, it's just so fun! And I felt it really popped with all the black, but that the leopard print stopped it looking like a Halloween-y combination.

Despite my frown in the photos (the sun came out from behind the clouds just as I started clicking and I pulled this face in every photo!) I was really happy and comfortable in this most of the morning, until the wind picked up and I started to feel the cold, even after unbuttoning and rolling down the sleeves on this jacket. I was regretting not wearing a jacket or thicker cardigan by then. Thankfully we only had a couple hours at the park before heading off to do a free craft activity with the kids in a shopping centre where I was back to appreciating this light jacket again, and rolling up the sleeves! Definitely swapped out the jacket for sitting on the sidelines at sports that evening though for something a little warmer.

For simplicity and for ease walking around the park and playground I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack - it fits hats and water bottles and snacks for us all easily.


Last worn: black lightweight jacket, heart necklace, neon leopard print tee, black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.

Other ways to wearblack lightweight jacket and stripes, neon leopard print tee and light jeans, black skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and shorts.



What's Inside My Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack






What I wore:

grey cardigan with pastel peach tee chevron print sass bide playman jeans sneakers | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Asos peach pastel orange v-neck tee from my sister's wardrobe
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

As you can see from the pics, this was quite a breezy day! I was glad I'd worn a cardigan on this day! Again it ended up being an orange and black combination, with the chevron print jeans and this peach tee I scored from my sister's wardrobe clear out. I liked this outfit, but looking at the photos I'm not sure the tee is the best colour on me. I'll keep it around and try it out in a few more outfits before I decide.

Wore the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack again as we had a little hike with the kids around a local trail, and this was the most comfortable way to carry all our snacks and water bottles. Our plan for the day was to get out early, so we could be back home before the predicted rain set in for the next few days. Thankfully the rain never turned up but it made me feel a little bad we hadn't planned more things to do outdoors for the day. The kids were happy at home playing board games in the afternoon though.


Last worn: grey cardigan, turquoise necklace, Sass and Bide printed jeans, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack (above). First time I've worn the tee as I gained it from my sister's wardrobe clear out.

Other ways to weargrey cardigan and purple jeans, Sass and Bide printed jeans and white tee, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and midi dress.



How You Can Wear It:


Orange and black isn't just a Halloween colour combination! Try adding some prints, greys, or a bright accessory in a contrasting colour like I have with this bright blue backpack to make it suitable for other days of the year.

Adding Colour to Monochrome Black Stripe Outfits

Adding a little touch of colour to otherwise monochromatic black and white striped denim outfits for autumn. Wore these back in April when a light layer is all you need for Brisbane's autumn weather.


What I wore:

pink tee and tassel earings to add colour to monochromatic black and white stripe duster and skinny jeans outfit | awayfromblue

pink and black shorts and tee outfit with Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromblue

awayfromblue Instagram | pink tee with monochrome black stripe duster skinny jeans pirate ship outfit

Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
JacketKmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

Not the first time I've worn this pink tee with black! I really like the combination, and I thought that these blush pink and gold earrings complimented the berry pink shade of the v-neck tee nicely.

Without the pink tee and earrings - and of course the bright blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack, this was a pretty dark outfit with the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans, black New Balance sneakers and the black and white striped duster. The pink lightens it up nicely!

Wore this to visit the markets and tour a pirate ship with the kids. Notorious, a handbuilt replica of a 14th century pirate ship was in our local harbour and we just had to go check it out. Luckily the rain held off until we were getting some lunch at the markets and we didn't get too wet when it did start as we were on our way home.

I thought the bag was a better choice than a handbag to hold all the water bottles and some snacks for the boys. I'm glad I wore it too as it was a tight squeeze on the ship and this sits pretty close when I wear it on my back.





What I wore:

Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer and thankfully rain-free autumn day so I wore a pair of black denim shorts instead of jeans. With the black and white striped tank and again the black New Balance sneakers it was a very dark outfit. 

The navy tie dye kimono added a nice touch of blue to brighten the tank and shorts up a bit, as did the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and the magenta marble necklace.

Took the kids out to another local trail. This one is a bit longer than our usual ones but with the supportive sneakers on my feet still easily manageable for my injured knee. It was a bit of a windy day so I was grateful for this kimono keeping my arms and shoulders covered but not overheating me when the wind died down and I felt the full force of the humid weather.


Last worn: navy tie dyed kimono, marble and gold necklace, black striped tank, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack (above).

Other ways to wearnavy tie dyed kimono with green jeans, black striped tank and maxi skirt, black denim shorts under a dressRebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and midi dress.




How You Can Wear It:

Black and white stripes is a classic combo worn with denim. It's easy to lighten up a little by adding a brighter tee, topper, accessory, or bag to your outfit, like I've done with these ones.

Olive and Mustard Outfits With Blue Bags

I really like olive and mustard together! For Monday's post I shared some yellow and blue outfits, this time around it's yellow and olive green, with a little touch of blue.


What I wore:

mustard tee, olive embroidered shorts and sneakers, blue Julian nylon backpack mum style | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromtheblue



Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! After the school run I took my youngest out to a messy play day. Something we used to do and enjoy regularly before Covid last year. It was so good to attend again. They've been running them for a while as life returned to normal quickly here after the first lockdown in March 2020 when we reached no cases, but we've always had something else on so couldn't make it before. It was an Easter theme so lots of eggs and bunnies and my son really enjoyed it. I just wanted a simple outfit as I know from experience there can be a little bit of mess that makes its way onto me!

So I wore simple soft shorts (these olive ones are a staple this summer) and a bright tee. This mustard one hasn't been worn in a while and surprisingly I've never worn it with these shorts before! I really like yellow with these olive shorts so it was interesting to see I hadn't put these two pieces together before. Added the tortoiseshell tassel necklace to try dress this up just a little.

The blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is another touch of colour with the outfit but I just picked it as it's easy to clean with a baby wipe, in anticipation of it getting dirty during messy play!


Last worn: mustard tee, tortoiseshell necklace, olive shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wearmustard tee and maxi skirt, olive shorts with navy, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and midi dress.

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Top: Kmart short sleeve textured dolman top in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear this (almost more orange than mustard top) with the olive shorts above, but a cooler and rainy autumn day meant I went with jeans instead. Luckily I have these olive green skinny jeans so I could still wear the colour combo I had planned.

This was such a comfortable outfit for working from home and then spending some time with my mum in the afternoon. This marigold ribbed batwing sleeve top is so perfectly slouchy and such a cheerful colour, and these jeans are so comfortable. I wore them when we flew to Europe a couple years ago. The statement necklace helped dress it up a little too.

I thought the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag would be a nice touch with the olive jeans, teal and olive are a surprisingly good combination.


How You Can Wear It 

Mustard and olive looks so good together! You can even introduce a third colour to your outfit with an accessory like a bag too, for an even more colourful and cheerful outfit.




April Purchases - for the first time this year I've had a no-buy month! So no new purchases to share today for April.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Blue Kimonos, Tanks, Denim Shorts, Sneakers and Rebecca Minkoff Bags

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, keeping things simple with kimonos and denim shorts again. Trying to break up the monochromatic look of blue denim shorts and navy printed kimonos with interesting tanks too.


What I wore:

navy tie dye kimono, complimenting accessories, shorts and mustard tank | away from blue

tie dye kimono with Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag | away from the blue

awayfromblue Instagram | navy tie dye kimono mustard yellow tank bermuda denim shorts


Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! So much so that I repeated the Bermuda denim shorts, yellow tank and navy printed kimono outfit again, just with a different kimono a couple weeks later! I just loved the way the mustard tank went with the navy tie dye kimono. Colourful but also easy to pull together for a busy day. After the school run we hit up some local opshops, and then ran around a couple different supermarkets looking for last minute party things and cake ingredients for my son's party that weekend. Woolies really let me down there but by the second store that had no stock despite saying they had it online, I'd come up with another plan for my son's cake that thankfully worked well!

As my focus was on everything we needed to buy and do for the party, I kept accessories as easy as possible - blue necklace and blue bag to compliment all the different shades of blue in the navy tie dye kimono. And of course sneakers for a lot of running around! 





What I wore:

navy border print kimono with metallic silver tank, distressed denim shorts and Rebecca MInkoff julian backpack | awayfromblue

navy printed kimono, denim shorts with Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | away from the blue

JacketCotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was such a humid day and since we were spending it outside I tried to pick a nice light outfit. This metallic tank was overdue a wear and such an easy combo with the distressed denim shorts. Wanted a cover up for my arms though despite the heat so went for this viscose kimono - it's lightweight and perfect on a humid day. Such a pretty navy print too!

Again I matched the accessories to the kimono with the navy tassel necklace and the blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. The only issue with this outfit was that at one point while playing in the playground with the kids I'd had my phone out for taking a pic. Instead of putting it back in the backpack I put it into the pocket of my shorts. Mild panic sometime later when another parent picked up a phone on the other side of the playground and waved it around and I realised my phone wasn't in my bag or pockets. Thankfully the lock screen is a family pic of us so it was easy to prove it was my phone 😅 And thankfully it was an honest person who found it!



How You Can Wear It:

Blue being my favourite colour, I have a lot of blue kimonos, but this 'tank, denim shorts and accessories matching the colour of the kimono' outfit formula will work for any colourful kimono you have! Matching accessories to the colours in your kimono is an easy way to make a bright statement topper work in your outfit.

Kmart Tiered Midi Dresses - Dressed Up and Down | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm wearing these pretty Kmart tiered midi dresses again! They are so easy to dress up or dress down, as you can see by the different ways I've worn them here.


What I wore:

Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia pink with studded sandals beaded statement accessories and gold leo envelope clutch | away from blue

Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold  with magenta pink dress and bracelet stack | away from the blue

awayfromblue Instagram | kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in fuchsa with gold leo envelope clutch statement accessories


Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We had a party at my parent's place, lots of laugher and good food, and I decided to dress up a little for the occasion. This fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress is a statement on it's own, but I added the fun gold clutch and the statement earrings to make it a bit more formal.

These beaded earrings were a Christmas gift and I just couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy for their first wear with this beaded tassel necklace. Although the beaded tassel part is turquoise and gold I thought the cream stone and the other beads matched the cream and gold beaded earrings well. Added a couple of extra bracelets to my bracelet stack and because I didn't need to carry much I took the opportunity to give my Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch another wear!

Despite the rather windy and overcast day it didn't rain at all so we got to enjoy sitting outside in the afternoon before dinner. We drove away in the evening after making plans for some fun school holiday activities, all feeling good. The very next morning they announced a 3 day lockdown for Brisbane after there was a case of the virus outside of hotel quarantine. It was a bit of a shock after over 100 days without cases outside of quarantine, but it made me feel even more grateful we were able to have the catch up we did. I know that some countries have tougher restrictions again making big family meetups like we had impossible. Luckily there were no more cases and the lockdown was lifted at the end of the 3 days so our fun adventures we planned were still able to happen too.

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue
 

Why I wore it:

A much more casual way to wear this Kmart tiered midi dress! A very busy day, with lots of errands to run and sports in the evening, school shoe shopping and a fun trip to the library for the kids to pick up some new books. Kept it simple with the Adidas Superstar sneakers and carried all our water bottles in my trusty Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. I like the bright blue against the amber of the dress and this bag fits everything we need so easily.

I had actually planned to wear this dress a little more dressed up just like the outfit above, with some statement earrings and cute sandals and a different bag for another party! We were due to go to a kids birthday party the weekend lockdown was announced, and after the 3 day lockdown was lifted visitor restrictions were back in place so the party couldn't go ahead the next week with the 20 person limit, as the whole kindy class was invited. Since I had been looking forward to wearing this dress again, I figured I'd wear it anyway, even just to run errands in, because the party was cancelled. I'm glad I gave it a wear, it does dress down so nicely.


Last worn: amber tiered midi dress, gold and navy beaded necklace, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.

Other ways to wearamber tiered midi dress worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and jeans.



How You Can Wear It:


A simple tiered midi dress in a bold colour is a great wardrobe staple! You can dress it up with a clutch and some pretty accessories, or dress it down for an easy outfit on a busy day with the kids with a backpack and sneakers.
