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.

Blue Knits, Pink Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

More cosy knits to combat the winter weather in Brisbane. I'm wearing both of these blue jumpers with pink jeans and my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Completely layered up for a cold morning with this blue cobalt marl knit, and big cosy purple leopard print scarf with my pink frayed hem jeans. I added the lilac earrings as I felt they matched the lighter pastel purple in the leopard print scarf, although the shades are not a perfect match I really liked the combination.

There was a morning event at school that I hung around for after school drop off, and then I worked from home before school pick up in the afternoon. While it was still windy in the afternoon the sun was out so I was able to leave the scarf at home for school pick up.


Last worn: lilac earrings, purple leopard print scarf, cobalt marl knit, pink frayed hem jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple leopard print scarf and stripes, cobalt marl knit over a dress, pink frayed hem jeans with graphic tee, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Jumper: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another cosy jumper and jeans outfit as I was feeling the cold on this morning! I had a couple of errands to run and my son had a birthday party to go to. This blue ombre knit jumper is quite warm and thick so I skipped a scarf with this, which was good as it turned into a warmer afternoon. I added statement earrings as well although it's a little hard to see the silver earrings in the pics!

Although the shades of blue and pink in this outfit are different from the one above, again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag. It just goes so well with any kinds of blues and pinks, and I like how organised it keeps me with the different compartments.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue ombre marl knit jumper, Sass and bide pink jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue ombre marl knit jumper and maxi skirt, Sass and bide pink jeans and duster, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and shorts.

Brown Printed Tanks With Colourful Jeans and Chloe Bags

Two more work outfits following an easily repeatable outfit formula, with brown printed tanks, colourful jeans and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This cosy cocoon cardigan is one I was really excited to get out again now winter weather has arrived in Queensland! It's so comfortable and I love the shape with jeans.

I added the printed tank for a little interest, and then the burgundy jeans for a bit more colour so my outfit wasn't entirely neutrals. I think the burgundy jeans and the little red Hermes bracelet were just the right touches of colour with the neutral black cardigan and Converse and brown printed tank and brown Chloe Marcie bag.

The only downside with this outfit was the necklace - which I really love! I liked the brass hardware with the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag. However I was in a rush to get to the office that morning and managed to break the necklace after school drop off. Didn't notice until I was in the office, and was very confused as I hadn't felt the discs fall off. Thankfully it fell apart in the car so I found it again on the drive home and it was really easily fixed.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, heart earrings, brown printed tank, brass necklace, Hermes bracelet, burgundy jeans, black Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and stripes, black Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

These pink frayed hem jeans were such a good opshop find - they always get compliments when I wear them, such a nice shade of pink. Just like the outfit above I paired the brightly coloured jeans with some neutral pieces, this brown printed tank is a staple for the office, and with the black blazer over it I was just warm enough on the colder commute. I liked how the black Converse matched the black blazer too, and then I added another statement gold necklace to again match the gold hardware on my Chloe bag, this time my purple small Paraty. I like pink and purple together so it seemed like an obvious choice when I was getting dressed that morning.


Last worn: black blazer, brown printed tank, gold circle necklace, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse (above), Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and printed skirt, brown printed tank and skirt, pink frayed hem jeans and blue, black Converse and skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black jersey blazer in third trimester, brown printed tank in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Leopard Print Skirt Outfits With Red Saddle Bag

Two different skirt outfits, both following a black and leopard print outfit formula and accessorised with my little red saddle bag that has been getting a lot of wear lately.

What I wore:

Tank: lace bib black swing tank from Mum's wardrobe
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, just before Christmas. Had a bunch of errands to run and last minute gifts to pick up as well as the massive pile of wrapping to finish. As it was a hot day I needed something easy and light, this cute ruffle hem leopard print skirt was ideal, and so good with the neutral black lace detail tank. With the leopard print on the skirt, and the lace detail of the tank, I felt this outfit was detailed enough that I didn't need to add a necklace to it. It was also nice to not add another layering piece in the heat. We definitely needed the aircon on by the time my sister came over for dinner.

Last worn: lace tank, leopard print skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: lace tank and blazer, leopard print skirt and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Rebecca Minkoff Saddle Bag Review & What's In My Bag

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

While this outfit follows a similar idea as the one above, with the leopard print, orange bag and another skirt, it looks really different as it's a black denim skirt and a neon leopard print tee. Same red saddle bag though, it was a go-to bag over December! Wore this again to run a couple of errands, and then attend a science event at the library. The kids had a lot of fun, and on such a humid day it was good to enjoy the aircon in the library for a while!

This leopard print tee is one I often pair with denim, I really liked it with the denim skirt. I need to wear it with red more often though! The red saddle bag looked so good with the neon orange. I felt like adding some accessories to this, so went with this black Swarovski wrap bracelet and the neutral beaded necklace so it didn't distract from the fun tee too much.


Last worn: leopard print tee, neutral necklace, black denim skirt, studded sandals, red studded saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard print tee and jeans, black denim skirt and duster, studded sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Leopard Print and Jeans Outfits With Chloe Bags

Two slightly cooler spring days in Brisbane meant getting another opportunity to get my jeans out again before summer temps set in. While both of these outfits have different colour schemes, they are both jeans and a tee with leopard print and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Pink and blue always make me smile, although it does frustrate me a little how the lurex threads on this recently thrifted tee never show up in photos! I feel it's really noticeable in person. I liked the texture the tee had with the bright cheerful pink leopard print of the jeans. Had a regular weekday with working from home and the school run, jeans and a tee was ideal. I didn't really need all the extra space the Chloe Marcie gave but I liked the neutral tan with the colourful outfit.

I've been reorganising my wardrobe a bit lately with the clear outs I've been doing, so I realised when I got to my accessories that I hadn't worn this necklace in a while, it was definitely due another wear!


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace:  thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus orange, yellow and red thread bracelets
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and the school run, with a couple of errands after picking the kids up from school. These grey skinny jeans are extremely comfortable, and I liked the neutral grey of the denim and the pale khaki of the Chloe Ethel bag with the neon orange leopard print on the tee.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the orange bracelets, although I added a slightly different colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I really liked this outfit! It was a slightly cooler day with all the rain, this outfit was perfect.


Last worn: leopard print tee, yellow tassel necklace, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print tee and skirt, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Blue and Pink Floral Print Outfits For Spring

Two simple pink and blue outfits for spring. Both have a little touch of florals, although the first one has a pink tee and blue shorts and the second is a blue tee and pink jeans to switch it up a little.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

This was an eventful day! I was working from home when there was an incident in the street and I had to run out to help. Thankfully I didn't have to provide a lot of first aid as it was just a minor incident, but not the best way to meet the new neighbours!

As it had been a warm day, shorts and a tee were perfect, and after I wrapped up things with work we had a couple of errands to run and I took my son to an appointment.

I wasn't sure if the floral print bag would be too much against the print on the shorts, but I think the colours being similar helped tie it all together, and I really liked this combination.


Last worn: pink ombre tee, beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre tee and blazer, navy printed culottes and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

This time around I went with a brighter shade of pink, with the magenta jeans and the pastel tee. With the red and pink floral print in the cover up, I thought the magenta jeans complimented it quite nicely, and I do always like blue and pink together so the pastel blue tee was an easy choice. It let me do a bit of matchy-matchy with the blue Converse too.

Didn't need to carry much, another wok from home day with a physio appointment in the afternoon so it was a good opportunity to get this little olive Darren bag out again - can't even fit my wallet in it, it really is just for the essentials.

Like with the jeans, I liked how the olive worked with the shades of green in the floral print.


Last worn: floral cover up, stone necklace, blue tee, magenta jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and skirt, blue tee and shorts, magenta jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and double denim.

Pink Jeans and Peplum Tops

Felt like I hadn't worn these black peplum tops for a while, so go them out again to wear with some pink jeans and leopard print outfits. Accessorised both with cosy cardigans for winter and for comfort while working from home.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart black sleeveless frill hem peplum tank
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
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:

Taking advantage of the winter school holidays, the kids had a fun day out with my mum while I got to enjoy the peace and quiet working from home. It worked out so well as I had a meeting filled day, and I didn't have to worry about noise in the background!

Did have to pop out in the morning between meetings for a quick errand, but otherwise wanted to be comfortable for sitting at my desk all day. I liked all the different shades of pink with this, with the leopard print jeans, studded MAB crossbody bag and the pastel tassel necklace. I wasn't too sure if the black peplum tank and black cardigan were too similar to wear together, being identical shades of black, but I think they balanced out all the pink nicely, especially when paired with the black Converse sneakers.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, pastel tassel necklace, peplum tank, leopard print jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and denim skirt, peplum tank and pencil skirt, leopard print jeans and purple, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee

Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Another pink jeans and leopard print outfit for another working from home day. I had to take the kids along to a school holiday program in the morning and pick them up again in the afternoon, so again I went with the practical Converse sneakers for the little bit of driving. Unlike the first outfit, I stuck with one shade of pink with these magenta jeans which are a firm favourite of mine in the cooler weather. I wasn't sure if the leopard print cardigan was too much with the space dye print on the peplum tank, but decided to give it a go as I thought the patchy print was a good pairing. I'm not sure I would wear this again, but I'm glad I gave it a go for something different.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, orange necklace, peplum tee, magenta jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan with white jeans, peplum tee with red, magenta jeans and blue knit, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM in second trimester.

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.

Linen Shorts With Embroidered Tanks and White Cover Ups

Loving the Brisbane weather that meant I could still get some wear from these linen shorts I thrifted last year well into autumn! This time around I wore them with embroidered tanks and white cover ups, for a couple of days back in the Easter school holidays.

What I wore:

Jacket:  Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Sometimes I like showing off the cuter paper bag waist on these linen shorts, like I did last time I wore them. Other times I like pairing them with voluminous tops and hiding the waistband for a completely different look. I thought I'd be brave and try orange and green together - this olive embroidered tank was perfect with the orange linen shorts, I liked the way it draped. I did have to add a cover up on top as it was a little cold for bare arms and legs, so I went with this neutral white one.

Stuck with a big neutral bag too, this black Rebecca Minkoff tote had snacks and water bottles for a family fun day event with the kids, which we all really enjoyed.

Last worn: white crochet trim kimono, embroidered tank, orange linen shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: white crochet trim kimono and dress, embroidered tank and jeans, orange linen shorts and navy, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and pink dress.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace 
Tank: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This followed the same outfit formula as the one above, with this neon embroidered Sass and Bide tank paired with these fuchsia pink linen shorts. I thought the matching pinks were a fun combination, although when I looked back at the photos I wasn't too sure the embroidery on the white cover yup worked as well as I hoped with the print on the tank.

It was a much needed practical choice though. We had booked the kids in for a messy play morning but just as we were about to leave we got a call that it had been cancelled, and we decided to head out to the park instead, and treat ourselves to some lunch. Not quite the fun day we had planned, but a pretty good alternative. It was a really sunny day so I was very glad for this cover up over my shoulders!


Last worn: embroidered cover up, Tiffany necklace, Sass and Bide tank, fuchsia linen shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above).

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim shorts, Sass and Bide tank and maxi skirt, fuchsia linen shorts and stripes, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Sass and Bide tank in second trimester.
