Grey Tees With Green And Denim Skirts

Two grey tee and denim skirt outfits for the school run and WFH days, both featuring grey and green with colourful printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was an exciting day for my son with an excursion he'd been really looking forward to. Unfortunately his brother still had school, so I had a couple of drop offs to coordinate before working from home and then arranging different pick ups in the afternoon. They both had a good day though!

I wanted to be comfortable so I went with a tee and denim combination, as I seem to be defaulting to a lot for working from home days lately! As it was a little chilly in the autumn morning I added this green floral print duster. It brightens the grey tee and grey denim skirt combination nicely, as does the fun colourful tassel necklace. I also liked the extra physical sunblock it provided when I was outside in the afternoon.

The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty is one I've worn with this green floral duster a lot, I like the blue and green together.

Last worn: green floral duster, tassel necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, grey tee and printed skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket:  thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and doing the school run, another grey tee and denim skirt combination! As you can see in the first outfit, I have no issue pairing different shades of grey together, and I like wearing multiple different shades of blue in my outfits. I thought I'd try something a little different with this outfit and wear different shades of green. The light olive denim skirt is a very different shade from the bright almost neon green in the pam print cover up, but I think the colours looked good together with the blue in the print between them.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with another grey tee, and the little metallic silver mini MAC bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, grey tee, feather necklace, olive denim skirt, Havaianas (above), metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive denim skirt with yellow, metallic silver mini MAC and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Printed Dresses and Sneakers With Rebecca Minkoff Mini Darren Messenger Bag

While it is officially autumn in Brisbane, some days have still felt very summer like! So I took advantage of the warmer temps to wear some simple printed dresses and sneakers with my little olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren messenger bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

It was such a hot and humid day when I wore this dress - it's a very light and comfortable tiered sundress that I thrifted a while ago and I enjoy it every time I wear it. It was the perfect style for such a warm day. I had the school run and working from home to do, and we took the opportunity to check in on some neighbours we hadn't seen earlier post cyclone too, now that all the roads were clear, and make sure they were doing okay after the damage to their properties.

Because I had a bit of walking around to do I wore these super comfortable Nike Court Royale sneakers. I liked how they matched the white in the background of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag doesn't match anything in my outfit, but I liked the contrast of the orange and olive together.


Last worn: metallic faux pearl necklace, palm print tiered sundress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print tiered sundress and denim jacket, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun weekend! We had a couple of errands to run to get some Scout stuff for the kids, but we also had a wildlife show to attend which the kids and I loved. It's so fun getting to see them get up close and personal with all the amazing native animals we have around Brisbane!

As it was a hot day I went with this simple striped shift dress, originally from my sisters wardrobe, it's a firm favourite of mine in the warmer months. I added a little colour to it with the tassel earrings and the blue Converse - although not matching shades of blue I liked them both together with the black and white stripes of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag was another way to add more colour to the outfit, and with the statement earrings I didn't feel the need to add a necklace to this outfit.

Last worn: tassel earrings, gunmetal bracelet stack, striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped shift dress and purple, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and shorts.

Burgundy Tees, Black Denim Skirts, Printed Cover Ups And Mimco Mim-Mazing Bag

Two simple burgundy tee and black denim skirt outfits, with colourful cover ups and my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school drop off, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon before picking the kids up at school. While the red on this Paisley print duster is a lighter red, I think it pairs so nicely with deeper reds and this burgundy tee was overdue a wear. It was a super hot day, so a cute denim mini skirt was a practical choice to beat the heat, and then I had to go matchy-matchy with the Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. I did consider wearing black sandals with this to complete the matchy-matchy feel, but decided on these simple slides instead, mostly because I didn't have to look as hard for these as they were right by the door, ha!


Last worn: heart stud earrings, bronze foil necklace, twist bracelet stack, Paisley print cover up, burgundy tee, Nobody Denim skirt, tan slides, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skirt with pink and purple, tan slides and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This black floral print thrifted cover up is a lovely sheer material, however it is polyester and I did regret picking it for that reason alone a few times on this day, as I ran around between stores as I had a couple errands and some groceries to buy. It got very hot!

I did like the way the black florals worked with the black denim skirt and the burgundy tee, the colours all look so good together. Like in the first outfit, the red in the print is lighter than the deep red of the tee, but again I liked the pieces together. It was just a very humid day and the extra layer in a not very breathable fabric wasn't ideal! I think the outfit would have been a little plain without that extra print though.


Last worn: floral cover up, beaded necklace, burgundy tee, black denim skirt, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, burgundy tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

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.

Yellow Tees, Jeans, Olive Darren Bag and Floral Cover Ups

I've been wearing a lot of pink lately, so decided to break it up a little! Still sticking with my trusty jeans and tee staple outfit, just picking yellow tees this time with fun floral cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag in olive.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus plus jade beads and Roie Designs bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this tropical print cover up with the white skinny jeans. And I wore a yellow tee that time too! I really like the combination, just something so summery about it! With the pastel yellow tee as well I felt this was such a fun and colourful outfit. With all that colour, chose my little Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren crossbody in olive as a neutral shade to go with it all. And I only had to carry the essentials, as I had the school drop off, a couple errands, then working from home before school pickup in the afternoon. Even tried being a little matchy-mathcy with my bracelets with this outfit too.

Last worn: tropical print cover up, yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, white skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical print cover up and skirt, yellow tee and shorts, white skinny jeans and cardigan, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

I needed all the colours on this day for a bit of a boost so went for this very bold combination of the mustard tee with the green floral print duster. I had a busy day with the school run, working from home, and Cooper had some surgery at the vets. I felt like the bright yellow and bright green was a nice way to make myself seem more cheerful than I was. And I love that green necklace whenever I wear it with this duster.

The black jeans made the colours pop more too, and again I went with the little mini Darren bag as I just needed the essentials. Thankfully, all went well at the vets for Cooper!


Last worn: green floral duster, mustard tee, geometric necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and dress, mustard tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and band tee, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and shorts.

Printed Dresses With Boots and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Getting my printed dresses out again for winter. While both these dresses have long sleeves, leggings and boots were a definite must have as they are quite light. I also had a slip on under each dress for extra warmth, and of course a jacket on top to keep warm.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This navy suede jacket I got for Christmas I thought would be a lovely pairing with this navy tile print dress, but the jacket looks almost black here. It certainly kept me cosy in the cold morning though! I wore this for the school run and a quick errand, before working from home and picking up the kids again in the afternoon.

With the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and the black ankle boots too, this felt like a really dark outfit, even with the white on the print of the dress. Good for this overcast winter day in Brisbane!


Last worn: suede jacket, blue printed dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: suede jacket and jeans, blue printed dress and blush blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and jumper.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue printed dress in second trimester, ankle boots in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is a lot more colourful! This dress hasn't been worn in a while so was definitely due a repeat wear, and I really like it with leggings underneath. I had to double up the sleeves a bit of get this denim jacket on top - the dress has long statement sleeves, that is sadly hidden by the jacket, but I needed the extra warmth from the jacket, especially on the cold morning.

With the comfortable and cosy tall leather boots as well, this was a great outfit for family fun day at church. The kids had a blast enjoying all the yummy food, playing games, and bouncing around on the jumping castle after the service. It was very difficult to pull them away to head home!

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that I still haven't stopped using and loving since I thrifted it, was perfect for storing all my essentials plus our water bottles for the day.


Last worn: denim jacket, Tiffany necklace, mustard floral dress, tall leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, mustard floral dress without a jacket, tan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Blue and Pink Floral Dresses With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing one of my favourite colour trios of blue, pink and purple together for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Braving the current Brisbane heatwave in some pretty floral print dresses, nice and light for the hot and humid days, and accessorising with the purple Chloe Paraty bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

First day of school! After what seemed like a very short summer break, it was back to school for the kids. I was a bit emotional, as they were staring their new grades, but they were just so happy to be back with all their friends and catch up with those we hadn't had the chance to have playdates with over the holidays.

After school drop off, I had a quick errand to run before working from home, and then back to pick up the kids in the afternoon before taking them out for a little treat for completing the first day of school for the year.

I really like pink and purple together, so was eager to try this pretty purple Paraty bag with this black dress, with the pink and blue floral print. I really liked the combination, and I appreciated this light dress on such a hot and humid day. It felt like it was constantly going to storm all day, but the rain didn't break until later that evening.


Last worn: resin earrings, silver Tiffany necklace, Kmart wisteria print dress, studded sandals, Chloe small purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart wisteria print dress and floral bag, studded sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe small purple Paraty bag with shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

Chloe Paraty Christmas Reveal

---

What I wore:

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was another hot day - much too hot to wear anything more than a simple dress for the school run, and spend the day working from home and enjoying the aircon while doing so! We had planned to complete a couple of errands after I picked the kids up from school, but we decided to skip it and complete them the next day, so we could just relax in the cool air at home.

As this is a spaghetti strap sundress I usually try cover up my shoulders when I wear this dress, to add some physical sunblock. But with the heat and humidity - and us avoiding spending too much time outside, I was not going to tolerate any layering. Except the little bit of necklace layering I tried. Thank goodness for light tiered dresses like this in heatwaves, instant outfit!


Last worn: Kmart tiered sundress, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, Havaianas, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart tiered sundress and denim jacket, Chloe purple Paraty bag and shorts and tee.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue, pink, and purple are a wonderful trio when worn together. If you're unsure about wearing three colours in one outfit, use an accessory to give you that third colour, as I have here with the purple Chloe Paraty bag.

Green and White Outfits With Floral Dusters and Chloe Paraty Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two green and white outfits with floral dusters and tees, and my little periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag. Surprisingly, despite both of these outfits being worn in summer, I'm wearing jeans! We had an unexpected cold snap at the start of summer in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Was surprised to have to be wearing jeans in summer, but the weather on this day definitely called for it! These green jeans hadn't been worn for a while so I got them out again. Wore them with the basic white v-neck tee as the navy tropical floral print duster added all the extra colour and print in my outfit. I went a little matchy-matchy with the gold necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Paraty bag too.

The blue Converse sneakers were a third shade of blue for this outfit, but despite them not matching the duster or the Paraty bag, I still liked them with this outfit. Good choice for a little running around on this day. After the school drop off and working from home we had a quick errand to run after I picked the kids up from school.


Last worn: floral duster, white tee, gold circle necklace, green skinny jeans, blue Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster and dress, white tee and printed jeans, green skinny jeans worn 30 ways, blue Converse and midi skirt, Chloe small Paraty bag and printed dress.

Shorts: thrifted Emerson white Bermuda shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal and orange
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy Monday! We had some Christmas presents the kids had to hand out to their classmates and teachers at school drop off, and I had a quick errand to run before working from home, picking up the kids from school, and another errand in the afternoon.

Luckily it was more like normal summer temperatures, so I was back in shorts and tee, and I added this green floral print duster for a little more colour. Again as we had a little bit of running around to do I went with comfortable Converse, black ones this time. I added these lovely resin bracelets to my regular bracelet stack too for a touch more colour and because I though the red was a nice nod to Christmas when worn with the green duster.


Last worn: green floral duster, double strand necklace, resin bangles, navy cropped tee, white Bermuda shorts, black Converse, Chloe small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster with black and grey, navy cropped tee over a dress, white Bermuda shorts with red, black Converse and striped dress, Chloe small Paraty bag and denim skirt.
