Yellow, Black And Leopard Print Outfits With Magenta Bag

Another two winter office outfits I wore recently, both with animal print, black and colourful yellow scarves. I added a little more colour to both outfits with my magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
ScarfJeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

Was feeling the cold on this winter morning but also really wanted to give this cheetah print cami another wear for something different from a plain tee. Just like leopard print, I find it works well with yellow and I really like this mustard scarf with it.

Also had my grey belted cardigan on underneath the navy trench for a little extra warmth on the commute to work and also because I wanted to keep the spaghetti straps of the cami covered up in the office. Even though you can't really see it in the photos, just that longer hemline at the side peeking out. I was trying to pick a bag to wear and I saw this one I thrifted a while back and decided to give it a go. I liked the fun combination of it with the mustard scarf, I haven't tried yellow with this bag before.


Last worn: navy Macintosh, clay earrings, mustard scarfcheetah print cami, zip detail jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Other ways to wearnavy Macintosh and skirt, mustard scarf and dresscheetah print cami and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and printed jeans.





What I wore:






JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the yellow and magenta combination above, I tried it again, with this brighter yellow scarf. This scarf is such a cheerful addition to a winter outfit, although it is sadly so big and cosy that it has completely hidden my top in the photos! I will need to try wearing this outfit again on a warmer day minus the scarf or jacket.

The leather jacket was much needed on a cold and wet day though - I even had leggings on under this leopard print maxi skirt to keep me cosy. Much needed with the side slits on the skirt for a cold day! I added some recently thrifted statement earrings too, even though the yellow scarf is enough of a statement on its own, as I didn't wear the scarf sitting at my desk in the office all day.


Last worn: black leather jacket, yellow scarf, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and denim dress, yellow scarf and floral dress, leopard print maxi skirt and blazer, white Converse and jeans, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag and sequins.

Perfect for Pregnancy: scarf in second trimester.

30 Ways To Wear Portmans Pink Leopard Print Jeans

In a very overdue 30 ways to wear post, I'm finally sharing 30 ways to wear these awesome pink leopard print skinny jeans. I got them from my mum back in 2012. It's taken much too long for them to hit the 30 wear figure, but they do make a bit of a statement so aren't something I reach for everyday. They are really fun to wear though.


30 Ways To Wear: Pink Leopard Print Jeans



Cost Per Wear

Unfortunately as mum got me these as a gift I'm not sure how much they were to calculate cost per wear! However given that they have stuck around in my wardrobe for 12 years and reached 30 wears, I think they were a good buy! Here are the 30 ways I've worn them so far:


Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Grey



Of course if you've got a brightly coloured printed piece in your outfit, it makes sense to wear neutral colours with it. Grey tops and cardigans are a great neutral with these bold jeans.


Black With Pink Leopard Print Jeans



Black is another go-to neutral for me, and one that again works well with the pink leopard print. it really lets the jeans stand out and be the star of the outfit when they are paired with a black top, tee or jacket.


Graphic Tees and Printed Jeans



I don't just stick with neutrals with these jeans! Sometimes I've tried to introduce another print, as you can see with the scarf in the set of outfits above, and these 4 graphic tops outfits. Despite the busy and bright leopard print of the jeans, I think the neutral backgrounds of these tops make the prints work together.



Pink Leopard Pink Jeans With More Pink



Sometimes if I'm wearing a piece in my outfit with one colour, I'll try match that with my accessories, as I have done here in each of the 6 outfits. I've paired pink bags and even a pink printed scarf with these jeans. Any shade of pink works, from the bold neon pinks on the end to the lighter paler rose in the third outfit, and the deeper magenta bag in the 5th.


Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Blue



Pink and blue is a colour combination I really enjoy wearing, so I've worn a lot of different shades of blue with these pink leopard print jeans! From lighter pastel blues to true navy, and even trying a little double denim with the blue denim jacket, I've not found a shade of blue that doesn't look great with these pink jeans.


Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Purple



You can see I love wearing that little purple bag with these pink jeans! Pink and purple is another winning colour combination from me, especially when I introduce a third colour and a blue piece into my outfit as well.

Yellow Tees and Printed Pieces

Two yellow tee and skirts outfits I wore recently, both with statement printed pieces and a neutral little tan crossbody bag. This Rebecca Minkoff almond MAB camera bag goes with everything!


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

We had a very fun afternoon planned! It was threatening to rain, but it held off in the morning, as the boys waited patiently for me to wrap up working from home so we could head to the park for a playdate. Unfortunately, the rain set in later, and we couldn't have a playdate at the park as planned. Luckily I was able to quickly get some tickets to a nearby indoor play area, along with what felt like the rest of Brisbane, and the boys were able to run around and let off some steam.

I'd picked this outfit to be colourful but comfortable. The bleached denim skirt and pastel yellow tee are really nice together, and the green floral duster on top added a little warmth when the weather cooled off later with the rain, and some extra colour for video calls as I worked.

Comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers were my choice for closed in shoes in case of rain - I was glad I'd picked them over sandals when the rain did set in!


Last worn: green floral duster, pastel yellow tee, blue and gold necklace, denim mini skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to weargreen floral duster and jeans, pastel yellow tee and maxi skirt, denim mini skirt and leopard print, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and shorts.






What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond
 

Why I wore it:

Another yellow tee outfit, this time with leopard print instead of florals. I wanted something easy and again light to wear. It was a warmer day, with an eventful morning thanks to some wildlife in our garden! I won't go into detail, but suffice to say I needed a cheerful and bright outfit to take my mind off of the morning's events.

This bright mango tee and the simple animal print skirt were exactly what I needed. I liked how well the almond MAB camera bag worked with the bright yellow tee as well as the browns in the animal print skirt. Comfortable Converse were a must too as we set off for DFO outlets to do a bit of birthday shopping for an upcoming birthday. It was a lovely relaxed day, we were very successful in our shopping and we all walked away for something with ourselves too, as usually happens! I picked up a tee in the last store we were in, reduced to just $10!


Last worn: yellow tee, gold circle necklace, leopard print skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Orange and Animal Print Cami and Maxi Skirt Outfits

I've been wearing a lot of tees lately, so I got a couple of my pretty camis out to change it up a little. Paired both with maxi skirts for these orange and leopard print outfits, accessorised with my Chloe Ethel bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
CamiNew Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Went down the coast to spend some time at my parents, and then shopping at Costco with my mum and sister. It was the first time I've been there! We bought a lot, and the kids were delighted by all the different sample stations they got to eat at!

While a leopard print midi skirt seems like it would be a loud statement piece, this skirt never seems too "in-your-face" for me so I had fun pairing it with this bright orange cami and the statement beaded necklace and beaded bracelet stack. I did add some neutrals with the white Converse and the small Chloe Ethel bag, but leopard is pretty much a neutral on its own now!

Really enjoyed this outfit, it was fun shopping and getting lunch with the family.


Last worn: orange cami, beaded statement necklace, wooden bracelet stack, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wearorange cami and jeans, leopard print maxi skirt and red tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancywhite Converse in second trimester.





What I wore:




Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really liked the outfit above, so I flipped it around a little but followed the same outfit formula for this. Animal print cami this time and an orange maxi skirt. I keep calling this a leopard print cami even though it's clearly cheetah print. It was the perfect printed piece with this block colour rust maxi skirt. Again I wore my Chloe Ethel bag - the 'light khaki' colour is a very light one and I treat it as a neutral.

With the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag and the bold combination of animal print and leopard, I kept the rest of my accessories simple with the tan slides and gold necklace and earrings.

Wore this out to an event at the library. I did feel a bit overdressed in this though, and didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first outfit. I think it seemed a little more dressed up than a plain tee and maxi skirt outfit. I did like it, just maybe should have worn it for a different day.

Plain Tees and Leopard Print With Falabella Bag

Wearing a couple of thrifted tees with some leopard print pieces, I really have been loving leopard print this spring!


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee washed coral red
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

Everything in this outfit except the Havaianas was an opshop find! Although the necklace is navy and the Falabella bag is black I thought they were nice accessories with the leopard print midi skirt and the coral tee. I really like red and leopard together!

Easy outfit for a hot day, working from home and doing the school run.


Last wornnavy flat beaded necklace, leopard print midi skirt, Havaianas, Stella McCartney Falabella. First time I've worn the tee as it was a recent opshop find.

Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

Simple jeans and tee outfit for a busy weekend with a bit of Christmas shopping and a few errands. I like this black tee with the pink leopard print jeans, I've tried a lot with these jeans, as they are nearly at 30 wears, but plain tees like this are always my favourite. I went a little matchy-matchy with the blush necklace to match the print and the black Falabella bag with the black tee.


Last worn: black H&M tee, blush wooden necklace, pink leopard jeans, black Havaianas, Stella McCartney Falabella (above).

Printed Skirts With Converse, Falabella And Black Tees For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing another set of two very similar outfits for the office for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both feature black tees, printed skirts, Converse, and my newly thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

So many new purchases in one outfit! While I focus on pieces that work with other items in my wardrobe when I'm shopping, it's always a thril when I thrift pieces that work together to create a full outfit all on their own! This leopard printmidi skirt was a must as soon as I saw it on the rack - I love the tassels and it's such a great length for me, almost a maxi. As it was a quiet day at my desk it was easily dressed down with the black tee and my Converse sneakers. The Stella McCartney Falabella worked so well in this outfit too, it's a great bag for work!

The necklace is not new but instead a reincarnation of an older one I had. When I thrifted it, it was a beautiful string of faux pearl beads all knotted together on faux suede and the thread just kept splitting and breaking until eventually I couldn't repair it any more. My friend designs and makes jewellery so she helped me get some supplies (just a simple cord this time) to recreate it with the beads I had, and I just copied it as closely as I could to the original necklace. I think I did well even if it's taken me months to getting around to remaking this!


Last worn: black teebeaded necklaceConverse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the leopard print skirt as is is a recent thrift find.

Other ways to wear: black tee and shortsConverse and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag with green.

What I wore:





Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Garfunkle Australia pleated print skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

This outfit was disappointing. I copied the outfit formula for the one above almost exactly, with a different black thrifted tee, the Converse and the Stella McCartney Falabella bag again. I even added another statement necklace, this cheerful yellow tassel one. This yellow and white and black printed pleated skirt used to be an office staple for me, but I just really wasn't enjoying it on this day. It was a bit breezy and the a-line shape kept getting caught in the breeze in the worst ways and had me worrying about and holding the hem quite a bit. It's a shame as I really loved this skirt in the past, but it is in the donate bag now. Even though I haven't hit 30 wears with it I'm just really not enjoying wearing it any more, and it's better to go to a new home with someone who will love it.

Black And Pink Outfits With Converse, Printed Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Continuing to layer up my jeans for winter in Brisbane, with these printed skinny jeans and Converse outfits. While they both look different, both are made up of black and pink (with a little blue and navy in the first outfit too).


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank (new purchase)
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for a Monday morning school run and working from home! I often wear these pink leopard print skinny jeans with black, so it made sense to pair my new textured linen top with them. Being black you can't really see the texture in the photos sadly, but it is a great staple tank and it's sure to get a lot of wear as it layers up so well for our cooler weather. I added the suede jacket on top too, to keep me cosy. First time I've gotten it out this year, after getting it for Christmas. Being suede I was a little hesitant to take it out for the first time, but so far so good, worn it a few times and no damage to it, it's not as delicate as I thought!

Added a little extra colour to this outfit with the blue Converse, and the big Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag because I've hardly stopped using it since I thrifted it. Being a really dark deep navy I felt it worked well with the black tank and the navy suede jacket.


Last worn: heart charm necklace, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid. First time I've worn the suede jacket on the blog as it was a Christmas present, and first time I've worn the linen tank as it was a recent purchase.

Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Reveal





What I wore:




Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

These chevron print Sass and Bide jeans are another pair I have worn a lot of black with, so the cosy black cocoon cardigan was a good choice to make this spaghetti strap cami a little more weather appropriate for a winter kids birthday party. I've tried a few different prints with these jeans over the time I've owned them but I really think plain block colours, like in this outfit, work so much better with them. I was really comfortable in this outfit.

I did add the red dinosaur skeleton earrings for a little pop of colour but they are a bit hard to see! Again I went with Converse, as we had a bit of driving to get to the party, it was at an indoor play area we hadn't been too before. Such a fun party though! The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was stuffed to the brim with my usual minimal essentials, and then some bottles of water for us.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, dinosaur earrings, feather necklace, pink cami, chevron print jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

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:




Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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 wearcocoon 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.

What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


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
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca 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.
