Jeans, Jumpers, and Purple Scarves

Two very cosy outfits with some statement knits and skinny jeans on extra cold winter days recently here in Brisbane. Accessorised with pretty purple scarves for some more colour too!

What I wore:

Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Knit: thrifted vintage Haneli metallic gold knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I loved how comfortable this outfit was! I had nothing terribly exciting planned, the school run, working from home and an appointment, so I just wanted to be cosy. This vintage metallic knit and the grey skinny jeans was a combination I wasn't too sure about, if it would be too like silver and gold together, but decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! I think the purple leopard print scarf and the purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote really pulled the outfit together, they were a nice pop of colour and coordinate well.

Still ended up throwing a blanket over my legs while working from home though, it was a really cold day!


Last worn: metallic knit, purple leopard print scarf, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: metallic knit with red, purple leopard print scarf and maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper  
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This outfit is exactly the same formula as the one above, but was even more colourful! It's not the first time I've worn this cobalt knit with the magenta jeans, I really like blue and pink together! Blue, pink and purple is an awesome combo so I decided to accessorise with this thrifted purple pashmina. I wasn't sure that the checked fabric would work with the marle on the knit, but again as with the outfit above I'm glad I tried it as I think it worked well! With the bright jeans, bright top and colourful purple scarf, I went with my neutral white Converse.

Couldn't decide on just the right bag for this outfit - I knew I needed a neutral one to balance out the colour a bit. Went with this little navy micro Bedford crossbody bag in the end - it does go with everything and I've worn it with these pink jeans and a blue leather jacket before so I knew it would be a good choice for this blue and pink outfit too!

Another quiet day - no working from home as it was the weekend, so just a couple of errands and a library trip with the boys. It was a little too chilly to stop in the playground, but perfect for snuggling up at home and reading the books we borrowed.


Last worn: purple pashmina, cobalt knit, magenta jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: purple pashmina in monochrome outfit, cobalt knit and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral kimono, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and chambray dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: cobalt marle knit in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy knitted jumper is an easy way to stay warm on a cold winter day, especially when paired with jeans. A colourful scarf can help keep you cosier too, and add a little more colour to your outfit, like these purple scarves do.

Colourful Jeans, Converse and Kimonos | Weekday Wear Link Up

Simple jeans and tee outfits with some colourful kimonos and denim for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Two comfortable outfits that I wore back in the winter school holidays in June.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a couple of quick errands to run in the morning before working from home for a few hours, a trip to the library and playground with the kids in the afternoon, before dinner and sports in the evening. I knew I wasn't going to have to layer up too much as all the running around would keep me warm! It was the perfect opportunity to give this navy tie dye kimono another wear.

I really like these magenta jeans with navy, and so I thought this navy tee would be a good pairing. It does have some fun fluted sleeves which unfortunately were covered up by the kimono though - felt like a bit of a waste hiding the cute sleeves of the tee under the kimono! The block navy colour was perfect with the tie dye print and magenta pink of the jeans though. Added the gold necklace to match the little gold hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Last worn: tie dye kimono, navy tee, gold circle necklace, magenta jeans, white Converse All Star, pink mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye kimono and shorts, navy tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and leather jacket, white Converse All Star and midi skirt, pink mini 5 zip bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

Mini MAC and 5 Zip Bag Comparison:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Although this was a wet day it was still pretty warm! We were lucky to miss most of the rain in the morning, as it didn't start raining heavily until I had dropped the kids off at their holiday program, and it wasn't raining in the afternoon. Was another busy day as I had to work from home while the kids were out. My mum came over in the afternoon too.

Kept it simple - surprisingly despite the burgundy jeans pairing so nicely with the red florals in the print of this duster I haven't worn them together frequently! I thought the plain black tee was a good basic piece, and to stop the outfit being too dark I added some turquoise accessories with the beaded necklace and the little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, turquoise beaded necklace, black tee, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and chambray dress, black tee and shorts, burgundy jeans and stripe tee, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, mini MAC and non-maternity clothes in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A staple jeans and tee outfit is perfect for working from home, and you can make it even more colourful with different denim instead of classic blue, and add a kimono on top.

Blue Knits, Colourful Jeans and Chloe Ethel Bag

Wearing two blue thrifted knits, a new one I picked up on an opshop trip back in summer, and an older one also from an opshop, that's been in my wardrobe a few years. Paired with colourful jeans and some cosy scarves, because it's a chilly winter here in Brisbane!

What I wore:

Scarf: Target Sadie woven scarf in blue spot print
Jumper: thrifted blue Kmart stitch detail knit
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! I like blue and pink together and this knit was perfect with the magenta jeans. While I thrifted the knit back in December this is the first time I've worn it. It looks like it's never been worn and it was just $1 so I couldn't pass it up in the opshop even though I knew it would be a while before I wore it! Because it was an extra cold morning I added a scarf to keep cosy. I wasn't sure at first which one to go with but I liked the navy against the paler blue of the jumper and polka dots are always cute.

Nice simple outfit for the school run, working from home, and sports in the evening. Even if I did need to take the scarf off for the school pickup in the afternoon as the day had warmed up so much!


Last worn: polka dot scarf, magenta jeans, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the blue jumper since I thrifted it back in summer.

Other ways to wear: polka dot scarf and stripes, magenta jeans and blazer, white Converse and maxi skirt, Chloe Ethel bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What Fits Inside Chloe Ethel Bag:

What I wore:

Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper  

Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This ended up being a really wet day! The rain barely let up! I wanted my cosiest scarf so I pulled out this studded paisley print infinity scarf / snood that I always enjoy using in winter. While the taupe shade is different from the more caramel tone of the Chloe Ethel bag, I thought the accessories looked nice together, and I always love blue and green! These olive jeans go with everything.

Wore this for a busy weekend day - with a bunch of errands, a library trip, and of course having to vote as well as it was back in May.


Last worn: cobalt marle knit, Paisley print snood, olive jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt marle knit and maxi skirt, Paisley print snood and dress, olive jeans worn 30 ways, Chloe Ethel bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester, Paisley print snood in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a jumper is such a simple winter outfit, and you can always add a little extra warmth and print with a scarf.

Leopard Print Tees and Distressed Denim Skirts With Aqua Mini MAC Crossbody Bag

Demonstrating my love of outfit formulas again by wearing two incredibly similar outfits with distressed denim skirts, sneakers and leopard print tees, a few days apart. One more colourful outfit and another more neutral one, but both with an extra pop of colour from my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine.

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Top: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for a hot day! I like the boxy cut of this tee, although I do think that maybe I should have tucked it into this distressed denim skirt. I really loved it last time I wore it that way with another denim skirt. I felt comfortable and colourful in this all day though, it was only looking at the pics I thought I should have tucked the tee in.

I like orange and blue together so the cobalt beaded necklace and House of Harlow wrap bracelet were easy accessory options with this, and the little aqua mini MAC really pops with the neon orange leopard print. It's not the first time I've worn this bag and tee together, I really like the pairing!

I'd planned a relaxed day for some child-free time after dropping both kids off at school. I did have a couple of errands to run, but I managed to make it to my favourite opshop for a very long and leisurely browse too. I didn't get much for myself but I did fill a bag of clothes for the kids that was just $5! Pretty good deals! The Adidas Superstar sneakers were nice and comfortable for the little bit of running around I did in the morning before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: orange leopard print tee, blue beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, distressed denim skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: orange leopard print tee and skinny jeans, distressed denim skirt and duster, Adidas Superstar and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in second trimester.

Ways To Wear a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Our usual Friday library visits have been pushed to the weekend now both kids are in school! After a great week at school I took the kids out to the library to pick up some new books, and then to the bike track for a little ride around. It was threatening to rain all morning but thankfully we were in the car on the way home before the rain started, perfect timing!

This necklace is one of my recent opshop finds - it's the same as the turquoise one I thrifted at a different opshop back in December, what are the chances! I thought I'd keep it simple and use it with a monochromatic outfit with this grey leopard print tee and the black Nobody Denim distressed skirt, and black New Balance sneakers. The grey tee was a bargain Kmart clearance find a couple of years ago and as this is it's 6th wear I'm definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it!

Of course I couldn't have a completely neutral outfit - I always want to add some colour - and much like it was in the first outfit above, the little aquamarine mini MAC bag was a great pop with this leopard print tee. It looks so good with black and grey.


Last worn: grey leopard print tee, distressed denim skirt, black and white bangle, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey leopard print tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and floral kimono, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It

Tess and denim are a summer staple! A printed tee, like these two leopard print ones, can add a little more interest to a simple tee and denim skirt outfit.

30 Ways To Wear: Sass and Bide Chevron Print Playman Skinny Jeans

These Sass and Bide Playman skinny jeans have such a fun print! Sometimes the bold chevron can seem a little tricky to wear. While I don't quite love every one of the 32 outfits I've worn with them, I've really been reaching for them a lot more often this past year as I feel I'm finding the best ways to style them recently. It's great to be able to put this 30 ways to wear post together and share just how versatile printed jeans can be - you can definitely rewear them over and over!

30 Ways To Wear: Sass & Bide Chevron Print Skinny Jeans

Cost Per Wear

I bought these in June 2016, a second hand buy on eBay. Just $28.50, including postage. Not a bad price for Sass and Bide jeans, and at 32 wears that's just 95 cents a wear so far. I think perhaps the original seller had a few of the same "what do I wear these with" struggles I did in the early years! I've tried print mixing now and then, but over time I've realised if I keep it simple and stick to basic block colour pieces with these jeans I really love them in my outfits. 

It's taken me 5 years to get over 30 wears with these jeans. They are certainly not just "throw on and go" jeans, and do require a little more thought before I wear them. But they are so fun, and I still have so many outfit ideas for these. They are definitely keepers in my wardrobe even if it took me a couple years to recognise just how versatile they could be! Particularly this current year. I felt like they were on frequent repeat, as I stuck with the "pair solids with prints" rule to build outfits I loved.

Since I  have such a range of outfits with these jeans I've tried to split up the outfits into go-to outfit formulas as well as some easy colour pairings, in case you have a similar pair of grey and black printed jeans you're trying to find outfit inspiration for.

Chevron Print Jeans With Blue and Green

Blue is my favourite colour and of course I think it goes with everything! I am slowly warming up to green and trying to wear more of it in my wardrobe. With the neutral black and grey chevron print of the jeans a bright blue, teal, or even mint top works well against the print.

Colourful Cardigans and Chevron Print Skinny Jeans

Just like the colourful blue and green outfits above, these follow a similar outfit formula. This time, the bright block colour is the cardigan though! While I really like the bold combination of red with the black and grey, you'll see I wear quite a lot of pink and purple with these jeans too!

Neutral Layers With Black and Grey Chevron Jeans

A failsafe "I'm not sure what to wear with a bold printed piece" choice is neutrals! And while I can never seem to nail a completely monochromatic outfit as I always add in a little extra colour - these jeans look so good with neutral blacks and greys, echoing the colours in the print.

Citrus Brights With Chevron Print Jeans

Another much more colourful set of outfits! Similar to the blues and greens I first shared, I find different shades of citrus brights work well with these jeans - from a bright mustard yellow, a more pastel peach, a mango yellow or a bold bright orange, the colours really pop against the denim! I think that the grey chevron print on these jeans helps stop an orange and black combo from looking too Halloween-y as well.

Double Denim Outfits With Printed Jeans

My usual method for waring double denim is to keep it safe and stick to completely different shades - so blue denim jackets (and even my white one) work well with these printed jeans! It's good to stick a bright top in between too for even more contrast between the different shades of denim.

Bright Accessories With Chevron Print Jeans

Maybe bright tops and cardigans are a little too bold for you to try with some statement printed jeans like these. So why not introduce a smaller amount of colour with a scarf or bag? Or both - as I've done in the first and third outfits with the matchy-matchy scarf and bag. Of course if you're loving all the colour, you could try a bright cardigan and a bright scarf together like that outfit at the end there.

Leather Jackets With Black and White Printed Jeans

These jeans are so easy to layer up in winter - printed jeans and a leather jacket is a staple outfit for a cold day! You don't have to stick to black jackets either - a colourful one like that cobalt blue works well too.

Pink And Purple Outfits With Chevron Print Jeans

These outfits are really combinations of everything above! Bright accessories, tops or colourful cardigans, in pink or purple, or sometimes both. I love pink and purple with these jeans, and with the neutral colour scheme of the grey chevron on the black jeans means you can easily wear more than one colour with them. And pink and purple go together so well!

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:

Jacket: thrifted black Emerson drawstring waist utility jacket
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New 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:

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 wear: black 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:

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
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: New 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:

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 wear: grey 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.

Printed Jeans, White Tees And Cardigans

Another two outfits following similar outfit formulas. White tees, printed jeans and cardigans with Rebecca Minkoff bags. Just like in Monday's post though, again I loved one outfit more than the other despite it being the same basic pieces together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Yellow with these chevron print jeans really pops, so cheerful and colourful. The aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and turquoise necklace are an awesome extra touch of colour too. While this white tee does have a spotty texture all over I thought it might still work with the print of the jeans as it was neutral and a fairly subtle design and I'm glad I gave this a go, really liked this combination.

Wore this to work from home and take a late lunch to go cheer my child on for sports at school. The cardigan was too warm most of the day working from home but I appreciated it in the windy afternoon as I sat on the sidelines of the field for half an hour.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise stone necklace, white tee, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, white tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and magenta florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC and MAB Tote Comparison:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I liked this outfit and I felt good in it, but just didn't like it as much as the one above. I'd planned a different top to wear but went with another white tee as I realised that morning I hadn't yet ironed the one I wanted to wear. With two little boys, I can never keep up with laundry! And I was going to go for a purple cardigan as well but after a particularly cold start to the morning I needed something a bit thicker and warmer so went with this navy one. Still added a little purple to my outfit with this plum Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote though, purple is so good with the pink leopard print jeans. I've worn it with them before.

Comfortable for a busy day with with school run, sports for the little one while his brother was at school then sports for both boys in the evening after school pick up. I also carried the baby bag for everyone's water bottles and post sport snacks as the mini MAB tote really just fits the essentials.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue statement necklace, plain white tee, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, plain white tee over maxi dress, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

White tees are a wardrobe classic and always look good with printed jeans. A cardigan can add a little extra warmth for a cold spring day and a lot of extra colour.
