Black, White and Grey Jeans and Tee Outfits With Pink Accessories | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two cosy jeans and tee outfits for the school holidays. The kids had a very fun week of school holiday adventures planned, and I was working from home.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

First time I've got this cosy knit out this winter, and I was reminded again why I love it. It's basically a big knitted blanket. Perfect for an early morning start, dropping the kids off at school holiday vacation program and then working from home before picking them up in the afternoon. With the grey jeans, white Converse, and black and white knit, this was a little monochromatic. The grey tee does have a fun pink panel on the back but you can't really see that with the knit on top, so I added more pink with this wooden beaded necklace and the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

As I was just doing the school holiday program pick up and drop off, and then working from home the rest of the day, this was the perfect bag for the few essentials I needed for that.


Last worn: knitted poncho, grey tee, pink wooden bead necklace, faded black jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: knitted poncho and stripes, grey tee over maxi dress, faded black jeans and blazer, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

This was a very good day! I didn't start work until later in the day, so after I dropped the kids off at their school holiday program I had an opportunity to stop in at the opshop on my way home. I stumbled across some Rebecca Minkoff bags which was the highlight of my week! The volunteers were quite entertained by my excitement as I tried on the bags before picking one to buy!

Having planned to go to the opshop on my way home from dropping off the kids, I picked this thrifted grey tunic and silver necklace to wear. I always like wearing thrifted pieces opshopping, although I'm aware it doesn't really bring me any more luck than if I didn't wear thrifted pieces, never hurts to try! Certainly seemed to have worked in this case, I was really pleased with my Rebecca Minkoff find at the opshop!

I thought that the black and white striped duster was a good topper over this grey tunic and the grey skinny jeans - the stripes added more interest, and just as it did in the outfit above, the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag added a little more colour too. I really like the desert rose shade with grey.


Last worn: striped duster, silver necklace, grey tunic, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: striped duster and skirt, grey tunic and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody and leopard print.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped duster in second trimester.

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.

Black Jeans and Burgundy Bag With Printed Layers

Two more black denim outfits - I have been loving my jeans with the cooler winter weather! Both of these are accessorised with my burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag, and some printed layers to add a little extra interest to basic outfit formulas.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

I thought that the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff avery bag would go nicely with this purple tee - it really seemed to bring out the purple in it! As I've mentioned before, it's one I'm trying to hit 30 wears with although the spandex in it that made it so soft and stretchy is starting to show its age. It definitely needs to be worn with a cover up on top, so the black and white striped duster was perfect. I added the wooden necklace too, I really like this statement piece but don't wear it nearly enough!

With the faded black skinny jeans, these Converse All Stars are a staple, perfect for a quiet day with the school run and working from home, before a special dinner with the family in the evening.


Last worn: black and white striped duster, purple tee, wooden statement necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped duster and dress, purple tee and skirt,  faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag and mustard dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody: What's In My Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
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 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

Another work from home and school run day meant another sneakers and black jeans outfit! With the silver tank and the black skinny jeans, this was a pretty monochromatic outfit. I thought that the floral waterfall cover up was a fun way to add more colour and interest to the outfit, although I do wish the navy necklace had matched the blue in the floral print a little more, the shades were quite different.

I ended up really liking the burgundy bag with this too! I haven't tried burgundy and magenta together before, but gave it a go as it meant I could reuse the bag from the day before and didn't have to swap anything out. Time is of the essence trying to get everyone up and ready for school in the mornings!


Last worn: floral cover up, navy necklace, metallic silver tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and scarf, metallic silver tank and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

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.

Chloe Marcie Bag With Skirts, Ankle Boots And Wine Tops | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing these two similar outfits I wore recently. Both have boots, skirts, wine tops, an extra layer, and my Chloe Marcie bag. But they look very different!

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket (new purchase)
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

It was a very cold morning for the school run and I regretted the decision to go bare legged and not add some leggings under this skirt! The burgundy knit was an opshop find and is a polyester knit, so I thought it would keep me warmer than it did, even with the leather jacket on top. While I thrifted the jumper a while back, I've just been waiting for the right weather to wear it and I knew it would look so cute with this leopard print skirt.

The leather jacket was a recent buy from the Gladrags market I went to in May - I spent some of my takings in some other stalls, and for $30 I was not going to pass up this buttery soft leather jacket. It came in handy with the cold weather snap in Brisbane. Even if it did warm up massively by school pick up in the afternoon, where I left the leather jacket at home, pushed up the sleeves on my knit and was grateful I hadn't added leggings that morning!


Last worn: leopard print skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the knit as it was a summer purchase, and first time I've worn the leather jacket as I bought it recently.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and tee, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

The Latest Addition To My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! I started work a little later so I could join my youngest in a special free play day at school. It was so good seeing him running around playing with all his friends, even if I did spend a little too much time dodging tennis balls and basketballs on the courts, he had a blast!

As it was a cooler morning (thankfully not as cold as the one above) I layered up this ochre maxi skirt with my classic denim jacket and my tan ankle boots. I liked this deep orange skirt with a burgundy tee last time I tired the combination, so thought I would give it a go with this tee. It's really more purple than burgundy - wine is a very fitting name for the colour - but I still enjoyed this combination, especially with the extra pop of colour from the yellow tassel necklace.

The Chloe Marcie always looks great with a denim jacket, and I needed something big enough to hold a water bottle as I followed my son around all the different fun stations set up around the school.


Last worn: denim jacket, yellow tassel necklace, purple tee, orange maxi skirt, tan ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, purple tee over a dress, orange maxi skirt and band tee, tan ankle boots and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, purple tee in second trimester.

Cardigans, Converse and Colourful Jeans With Striped Tees And Yellow Bags

Proper autumn weather in Brisbane meant getting out my knits and jeans! I have quite a collection of colourful jeans, and I like them as an alternative to the traditional blue denim. While both of these outfits are very different colours, I like the fun yellow bags with both.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
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 micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! While there was the usual routine of the school run and working from home for me, we had a few errands to run in the afternoon, and we had a big makeover of the stick insect enclosures at home that evening. That was the only time I regretted wearing this cute grey cardigan, as the ties on it kept getting tangled up in the branches and leaves! It was just the perfect light weight for the rest of the day, just got a bit messy at home that evening!

I think this is the first time I've tried the trio of orange and pink and yellow together. I really like yellow and pink together, the mustard bag looks so good with the magenta jeans. I thought the orange striped tee would be a fun touch with the magenta, but you really don't notice it too much. It made this colourful trio a lot more easy to wear, it didn't feel too bold!


Last worn: grey wrap cardigan, orange stripe tee, marble necklace, magenta Sass and Bide jeans, white Converse, mustard micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: grey wrap cardigan and printed jeans, orange stripe tee and skirt, magenta Sass and Bide jeans and tie dye, white Converse and pencil skirt, mustard micro Regan bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 

Why I wore it:

I needed this cosy black cocoon cardigan in the morning, but later in the day it had warmed up enough that I didn't need it! I left it in the car when I took a little break from working from home to go see my son get an award at school in the afternoon. While the green jeans and the yellow bag are quite a bright combination, the navy striped tee was a good neutral. 

Looking at the photos though, I probably should have tried tucking this tee in. These jeans are low waisted so I don't do that too often, and with the long cardigan I thought the tee untucked would work better, but if I wore this again I'd definitely tuck in the tee at the front.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy Coca-Cola tee, green skinny jeans, black Converse, yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and denim skirt, navy Coca-Cola tee and maxi skirt, green skinny jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, yellow mini 5-zip bag and floral dress.

Cosy Cardigans and Skinny Jeans With Pink Tanks

Pink tops, skinny jeans and cosy cardigan outfits for work recently. One day working from home, the other in the office. Both outfits are accessorised with my beautifully hand painted mini MAB tote bag, which goes perfectly with pink even though there is no pink in the design.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Top: Asos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

I think this outfit will be as close as I ever get to monochrome white! Since autumn temperatures arrived in Brisbane at last I have been embracing all my jeans, and this white pair especially. I was so excited to get theses jeans from my mum for Christmas and had so many outfits in mind for them, just had to wait for the perfect weather. They have been on frequent repeat lately. I wasn't sure if the white leopard print cardigan would be too much white with these jeans, especially with the white Converse too, but I think that the bold pink tank and the lilac necklace added enough colour in-between that this really worked.

I really enjoyed this cosy cardigan for the school drop off in the morning, and working from home. I didn't need it in the afternoon though, it warmed up nicely and we spent a little time at the playground after school and ran a couple of errands too.

Might be the first time I've ever tried leopard print and florals together, and I'm glad I did as I really liked this combination.

Last worn: leopard print cardigan, lilac necklace, hot pink satin tank, white skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and dress, hot pink satin tank and maxi skirt, white skinny jeans and blazer, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Details On My Personalised Floral Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Willow & Thread hot pink tank from Sheila's wardrobe
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar 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:

A much darker outfit this time with the black skinny jeans and black cardigan. Still went with white sneakers though. These Adidas Superstar ones were an opshop find, as was the cardigan. I don't think that the photos do this outfit justice, it kinda looks a bit like a black blob, but I adored this cosy cocoon cardigan and black jeans combination. The hot pink tank, a gift from Sheila, was the perfect pop with this. And it was such a surprise to get into the office and realise that all the ladies in my team were wearing black and pink or black or pink that day - unintentional matching!

I always like taking this little hand painted bag to the office, it's so nice to stare at on my desk all day.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, pink tank, gold necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, hand painted mini MAB tote (above).

Other ways to wear:  cocoon cardigan and print, pink tank and skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, hand painted mini MAB tote and maxi skirt.

Matching Tees To Cover Ups With Dark Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some simple jeans and tee outfits with some recently thrifted cover ups and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag to add a little more colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Since I thrifted the navy flat necklace and the zig zag print cover up together, I knew I'd end up wearing them together, the navy shades match perfectly! Just like last time I wore this cover up, I tried a little turquoise bag to make the turquoise in the print pop out a bit more. Once again, it didn't really seem to work. I did love how well the pink tee went with the coral in the navy print though, I felt it brought that out well, and I do like all shades of pink and blue together.

Staple jeans and Converse as it was a busy day, with working from home, the school run, and an appointment at the vets for Cooper. Converse were good for all the driving around.

Last worn: zig zag print cover up, navy flat necklace, pink tee, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Converse, Balenciaga Blue India first bag.

Other ways to wear: zig zag print cover up and skirt, pink tee and printed shorts, grey Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Balenciaga Blue India first bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's Inside: Balenciaga Blue India First Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

I liked wearing this burgundy floral print cover up with my purple tee first time I wore it. So I thought I'd try it again with a dark tee, with this burgundy tunic and the black skinny jeans. It's not a perfect match to the colours in the print of the kimono, but I still really liked this outfit. I think the necklace was a good addition too, it took me a couple of tries that morning to find just the right necklace!

The Balenciaga first bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, unlike the outfit above, but I do love the pop of colour it adds, especially against the faded black skinny jeans.

We took advantage of the public holiday to head down the coast and spend some time with my parents. The rain arrived and slightly derailed our picnic plans, but our picnic in the lounge room was just as fun.


Last worn: burgundy floral print cover up, burgundy tee, beaded necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Converse (above), Balenciaga turquoise First bag (above).

Other ways to wear: burgundy floral print cover up, burgundy tee in capsule wardrobe, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: burgundy tee and hidden baby bump, Converse in second trimester.
