Two Ways to Wear: The Haus of Queenie Sequin Kimono

A very fun and sparkly post sharing the most beautiful present I got for Christmas, my very own sequin kimono from The Haus of Queenie!

My sister is friends with Queenie and so was able to request this kimono be made for me for Christmas! I'm so lucky! While Queenie designs and makes these beautiful kimonos, they provide styling advice too. You can even hire outfits for special events. My sister has hired a gorgeous sequin duster from Queenie for an event in the past. The styling in these outfits is all mine so I hope I do Queenie's artwork justice! Both of these outfits made me smile, and those around me smile too, so I feel they were successes!

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono (Christmas gift)
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

A beautiful kimono like this is made for dancing really, not for errands, a trip to the library, and new year's eve sparklers in the back yard. But NYE was the perfect excuse for me to wear this for the first time, and I got so many compliments on it when running errands. It's beautiful!

Kept it really simple with a black and white outfit to let the kimono shine. It's such a good topper over a white tee and distressed denim skirt. Added a little more colour with the Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, although a black bag would have been perfect with this too.


Last worn: white tee, Tiffany heart necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, studded sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. First time I've worn the kimono as it was a Christmas present from my sister.

Other ways to wear: white tee and midi skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and floral duster, studded sandals and maxi dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and matching scarf.

Perfect for pregnancy: studded sandals in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono (Christmas gift)
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
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:

Wearing this sequin kimono again, with a monochrome black outfit.

This day was another that didn't really call for a sequin kimono, but I wanted to wear it anyway, it just makes me feel so happy! We had a pool party in the morning then a school holiday event at the library in the afternoon. The light sundress was perfect as a bikini cover up. The kimono felt a little extra, but I loved the way it sparkled in the sun and it really stood out against the monochrome black outfit with the little black dress and black Rebecca Minkoff tote bag. 

Something this pretty and sparkly deserves to be worn a lot!


Last worn: The Haus of Queenie Sequin kimono (above), marble necklace, black tiered sundress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag.

Other ways to wear: black tiered sundress with yellow accessories, Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag and pink midi dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Some days just call for a little extra sparkle! Keeping your outfit to classic neutrals of black and white lets a sequin kimono - or any other colourful cover up - really shine!

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag

I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!

It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style

Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.

Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.

Magenta Bag With Purple

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.

Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!

Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!

Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.

Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.

30 Ways To Wear: Navy and White Striped Tee

This navy stripe v-neck tee has definitely proved its worth in my wardrobe, and it's time to do a 30 ways to wear post showing all the ways I've worn it over the years.

30 Ways To Wear: Navy White Stripe V-neck Tee

I bought this tee on sale at the Iconic all the way back in 2014, for just $20.21. With a stripe tee and tees in general being such a staple for me, I'm surprised it's taken me 6 years to get this tee up to 30 wears! I suspect that perhaps it's because I just have too many tees, particularly striped ones, in my wardrobe, but this one is a real favourite.

Cost Per Wear

At 30 wears, the cost per wear is 67 cents, which is great value, particularly as this tee doesn't show any signs of how old it is. it's quite a thick material, perfect for layer up in winter, and I really like wearing it with cardigans. Here are the 30 ways I've worn it so far, and I'll definitely increase that number of wears in future, it's a keeper!

Navy Stripe Tee With Shorts

Nothing more classic for warm weather than a simple striped tee and shorts outfit! It's easy to alyer up a little like I have in the first three outfits too, with the vest, scarf and cardigan, for when the weather is slightly cooler.

Navy Stripe Tee and Jeans

This outfit formula is in direct competition with the one above - as while shorts and tee is a staple in sunny Queensland, for colder climates jeans and a tee would be the most classic! I've mixed it up a little bit with these 3 outfits, pairing the navy stripes with colourful denim instead of basic blue.

Navy Stripe Tee and Bright Accessories

The neutral navy and white stripes on this tee really do go with anything - and are a perfect base for a pop of colour, from a bag, scarf (or even a bag and scarf!) or a bright cardigan like that mustard one. It's so easy to add more colour to a neutral outfit with accessories.

Navy Stripe Tee in Winter

This tee is a bit cosier and thicker than some of my other stripe tees, so it's perfect in winter! The stripes look great layered up for a bit of print mixing with a scarf, and of course being neutral stripes, any block colour cardigan works great on top too.

Navy Stripe Tee and Skirt

You know from the outfits above that denim and striped tees are a classic. This striped tee works with other skirts too. Like ruffle skirts and even a pencil skirt (and a baby bump!). There really is no style of skirt that doesn't work.

Navy Stripe Tee and Maxi Skirts

Of course, I had to call out maxi skirts, my most love skirt length separately, as I love the easy combination of a striped tee and a maxi skirt. While I'm partial to that ochre one as I think the orange looks great with navy, the tee works well with others in my wardrobe too.

30 Ways To Wear: Mustard Cardigan

Although it's been quite a warm spring so far here in Brisbane, I finally hit 30 wears with this yellow cardigan over winter and I've been looking forward to sharing a wrap up post of all the ways I've worn it. Even if I have packed my knits away already waiting for cooler autumn weather next year!

30 Ways To Wear: Mustard Yellow Cardigan

Mustard is definitely my favourite shade of yellow! It's so versatile, and this cardigan is a nice cosy way to add more colour to a layered outfit on a cold day. I'm surprised it's taken me so long to hit 30 wears with it actually, I feel I wear it a lot!

Cost Per Wear

I have very good cost per wear with this cardigan. I've worn it 30 times and it was an opshop buy back in 2017. I paid just $2 for it. Such a good bargain find, although sadly that opshop has sold down as the charity sold off the building. It's down to just 6 cents a wear so far.

However, even better than the 6 cents cost per wear is the fact that this cardigan is from SES Fashion, an Australian fast fashion chain. Not only was it worn by whoever donated it to the opshop, but I've worn and loved it 30 times and I'm sure to wear it many more times! it's decreasing the environmental impact the more times I wear and enjoy it, instead of buying new. You can make your wardrobe more sustainable even if you have cheap fast fashion brands, simply by buying less and rewearing more often.

In saying that, it is just a cheap fast fashion knit. It's a lot baggier than it was when I first bought it preloved 5 years ago, and some of the stitching on the cuff and a shoulder is starting to come undone. It certainly doesn't look new, but it's still got plenty life left in it, even if I might have to patch up some of the stitching at some point in future. Here are the 30 ways I've worn it so far:

Mustard Yellow Cardigan With Blue

Blue and yellow is a colour combination I love - and any shade of blue works well with this mustard knit! Such a bright cheerful yellow, and something in my favourite colour (blue!) is a sure way to make me love an outfit.

Yellow Cardigan Worn With Neutrals

If you're not sure how to wear a bright block colour cardigan like this, try neutrals! Black, white and grey are a failsafe outfit base for a bright knit like this.

Mustard Cardigan And Orange Outfits

This is a particularly bold combination! While I don't like all the orange and yellow outfits I've created with this cardigan, I do love those second too, with the orange in the print of the tank and dress. Something I want to wear more of, the citrus brights are great together.

Yellow Cardigan Worn With Grey

Grey is easily my favourite neutral to wear with yellow. Mustard and grey are so good together, as you can see I've worn these grey skinny jeans with this cardigan a lot!

Wearing Green With Mustard Yellow Cardigan

Green is something I've eased into wearing with this cardigan. I like the bright green jeans with it on a day I want to be especially bold, but for a less in-your-face outfit, you can try it with olive green, that works equally well.

Print Mixing With Block Colour Yellow Cardigan

Winter means scarves and knits, and with this being a solid block colour piece it lets me try a little print mixing with the rest of my outfits, from a striped tee or dress, even those chevron print jeans. I've worn the pink and yellow skull scarf with this cardigan a few times as I like the matchy-matchy of the yellow.

Dresses With Mustard Cardigan

It's not just jeans I wear my cardigans with! A long cardigan like this is a nice topper over a printed dress - and perfect with tights or leggings in winter to make your outfit warmer. Although I've only won it the once as you can see in that first outfit, a cardigan looks great belted over a dress.

Shorts and Cardigan Outfits

When the weather is right it's good to bare some skin, and a cardigan over a shorts and tee outfit is ideal as you can easily take the cardigan off and stick it in your bag if the day warms up more than expected!

30 Ways to Wear: Navy Waterfall Cardigan From Jeanswest

Not surprised I've hit over 30 wears with this navy waterfall cardigan over this winter - it's a staple in my winter outfits and the neutral colour goes with everything! It's good timing with spring here in Brisbane to share 30 wears I've won this knit.

30 Ways To Wear: Navy Waterfall Cardigan

This navy cardigan goes with everything! I bought this to try and add more knits to my winter wardrobe, and the neutral block navy colour ensures I can wear it with any of my outfits, as I've shared below with just some of the ways I've worn it. It's the perfect piece for not looking too casual or underdressed with the gentle waterfall shape, and works well belted or worn loose. Something I'm glad I picked up on sale 4 years ago! It's just the right thickness for cool winter and spring days in Brisbane.

Cost Per Wear

I purchased this cardigan back in May 2018 for $41.99, using a gift card. So it didn't cost me anything  as it was a gift card purchase, but it works out to $1.31 a wear of gift card money for the 32 times I've worn it. Pretty good for something that is still going to be a staple in my wardrobe for the years to come! When I bought it I was excited I could use the buttons to turn the cardigan into a wrap top, but I've only worn it that way once so far, so I really need to try change it up when I'm wearing it and take advantage of the button up feature!

Below are 30 of my favourite outfits with this cardigan, to give you some ideas and inspiration for how you can wear a similar piece in your wardrobe.

Waterfall Cardigan and Dresses Outfits

This long waterfall cardigan is the perfect layer over a dress! I really like it worn belted over a dress for the office, but it looks nice just worn loose and draping down too.

Navy Cardigan With Green

Green and blue is a combination I've really warmed to in recent years - and as you can see from the brighter jeans, olive jeans and even the green printed scarf, a navy cardigan like this is so good against shades of green.

Waterfall Cardigan and Pencil Skirt Office Outfit

Another staple office outfit in the cooler weather is throwing this navy cardigan on over a pencil skirt outfit. It's great for the cooler morning and afternoon office commutes, and stylish enough that it doesn't look out of place in my business casual office.

Navy Cardigan Worn With Red

Red and blue is a colour combination I really like to wear! As with the green outfits above, I find any shade of red works well with this navy cardigan. Red or burgundy jeans, even a red poppy print scarf, really pop with the navy knit.

Waterfall Cardigan With Shorts

There are some spring and autumn days where it's just not warm enough for bare arms and bare legs - so a cardigan over a shorts and tee outfit is a good option. It also packs up easily into your bag if the day warms up later too and you need to remove a layer.

Navy Cardigan Worn With Purple

I really like deep purple shades with this navy cardigan - like the purple jeans and the purple scarf. Even that little plum bag. The magenta bags look great with it too, but I think navy and purple look really good together so wanted to call that out in these sets of outfits.

Waterfall Cardigan Worn With Printed Pieces In An Outfit

The reason I added this to my wardrobe was that I wanted a nice block colour cardigan I could easily wear with printed pieces - stripes, skulls, leopard print, any print works when you have a plain block colour cardigan on top. Especially if it's a neutral navy like this.

Pink and Navy Outfit Ideas With Waterfall Cardigan

Yet another go-to colour combination for me is pink and purple. Magenta jeans, as I called out above, magenta looks great with this navy! Or lighter pink tees or printed jeans, all shades of pink are nice against this dark blue knit.

30 Ways To Wear A Blush Pink Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm featuring another bag, this beautiful Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger in peony pink. A bag I've worn a lot more than 30 times, the pastel pink has been so versatile in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear: Blush Pink Small Darren Satchel Bag

When I saw this bag during a browse of the David Jones sale I could not get it out of my head - so I had to buy it! I didn't think about how I would wear it, just how pretty it was. I have been pleasantly surprised to find it works with so many outfits in my wardrobe! The adjustable strap is a nice feature, although I do mostly wear it on the longest crossbody setting. I started out just trying this bag as a lovely pastel pink touch of colour with a neutral or monochrome outfit, but found over time blush pink goes with so much, and I'm so glad I stumbled across this bag in the sale! I'm really not sure why this messenger style was discontinued - the Darren is still available in other styles, but this original one will always be a true classic to me!

Cost Per Wear

I bought this bag back in October 2018, at over 50% off it was $240.78 as there was an extra discount on the sale price. At 44 wears to date, that's $5.47 a wear so far. Higher than the $1 a wear most people aim for, but given how often I reach for this bag and how much I love it, I have no doubt it will get to $1 a wear or less in time.

One thing to note is that the lighter colour has suffered from colour transfer - thankfully it was easily cleaned off. Since then I haven't had any further issues wearing this bag with denim or dark clothing, it's staying stain free.

Since I've worn this bag a lot more than 30 times, I tried to pick just my 30 favourite outfits to share.

30 Ways to Wear: Video Style

Pastel Pink Bag and Little Black Dress

This was one of the first ways I started wearing this bag - pairing the pale pastel pink with a lot of black. A little black dress is perfect for that. The bag adds a nice colour that isn't too statement making like a brighter pink bag would be, and pink and black always go together nicely.

Blush Pink Bag With Blue Outfits

If you're read my blog occasionally you'll know that blue and pink is a colour combination I always love to wear - different shades of blue and pink work together so well! While navy blue is a frequent go-to with this blush pink Darren bag, you can see with these outfits that even lighter shades of blue look nice with the pastel pink.

Pastel Pink Bag With Monochromatic Neutral Outfits

Just like the little black dress outfits above, neutral colours were a good starting point for me with this bag. Blacks and greys together create easy neutral outfits, and the pastel pink bag is a lovely way to inject a little colour with all those neutrals and otherwise monochromatic outfits.

Blush Pink Crossbody Bag and Purple

Although not something I wear as much as pink and blue, I do really like pink and purple in an outfit together. I just don't have many purple pieces in my wardrobe to pair this bag with! As you can see, the lilac tee is a firm favourite with this bag, I like the two pastel tones together.

Pastel Pink Bag Matching Other Pieces In An Outfit

If you're really not too sure about what colours go with a pastel coloured bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Darren, try doing a little matchy-matchy! I find pink scarves, or even piece4s with a blush pink print in them, coordinate perfectly with this peony pink bag and make any outfit feel a bit more cohesive. I love that I have a pair of shorts that match the bag so well too!

Pink Bag Worn With Other Contrasting Shades of Pink

If a little pink accessory looks good in an outfit, why not add even more pink? This was a fun colour combination to try, although I'd had this bag a while before attempting it! Trying two different shades of pink in the same outfit, from a deep berry blouse to a bright fuchsia dress, even the magenta kimono. The pastel pink works well with all other shades of pink I've tried it with! When I was trying this combination out I always wore it with other neutrals like black and white as you can see in these outfits.

Blush Pink Bag With With Other Pinks and Blue

This is a great example of how I've slowly tried more colour combinations with this bag! I could definitely categorise them some of the outfit formulas above. It's the blush pink and brighter pink outfit pieces combination, but this time instead of sticking with black and white pieces, I'm adding a little more colour and having the two different shades of pink, and a little bit of blue as well. Easy pairings I know that work well together, worn all at once to make a colourful new trio that I can try out in different outfits.

Rebecca Minkoff Peony Darren Bag and Skirts

This is the best way to show the versatility of this bag - it works so well with all my outfits, as you've seen above. But while I worried the crossbody messenger style might feel too casual, I think it's perfect for the office too! It looks just as good with a maxi skirt as it does with a little denim skirt, or a pencil skirt for work. It really is such a versatile bag, and I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe!
