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
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: green 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
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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).

Other ways to wear: yellow tee and shorts, leopard print skirt and leather jacket, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

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
Cami: New Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe 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 wear: orange cami and jeans, leopard print maxi skirt and red tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe 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.

Last worn: gold heart earrings, gold circle necklace, animal print cami, rust maxi skirt, tan slides, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: animal print cami and denim, rust maxi skirt in winter, tan slides and dress, Chloe small Ethel bag and jeans.

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
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted 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 worn: navy 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.

Other ways to wear: leopard print midi skirt with navy, Stella McCartney Falabella and shorts.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted 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).

Other ways to wear: black H&M tee and red, pink leopard jeans and graphic tee, Stella McCartney Falabella and skirt.

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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted 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 tee, beaded necklace, Converse, 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 shorts, Converse and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag with green.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester..

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Garfunkle Australia pleated print skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted 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.


Last worn: black H&M tee, yellow tassel necklace, pleated printed skirt, Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black H&M tee and shorts, pleated printed skirt and blazer, Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and denim.

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
Shoes: Converse 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.

Other ways to wear: pink leopard print jeans and blazer, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and stripes.

Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Reveal

---

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse 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).

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and white denim, pink cami and skirt, chevron print jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag with jeans and jumper.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse 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.

Pink and Navy Outfits With Small Chloe Paraty Bag

This has been the spring of pink and blue! Sharing another two more pink and blue outfits with my beautiful small Chloe Paraty bag in periwinkle being the perfect accessory for both outfits, despite the different shades in my clothes.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest 'Scarlette' printed shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day in the school holidays! We had a bunch of errands to run in the morning, and with the sudden warmth spring bought, Cooper had been very badly due for a trim. We dropped him at the groomers before crossing a few more things off the to-do list and buying some presents for upcoming birthday parties. Then we had to head home while I worked from home and the kids entertained themselves for a few hours - luckily they were quiet for most of my meetings that day.

This pink tee has been on frequent repeat lately. I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet but it might be my most worn tee this year, particularly in recent months. I've worn it with printed culotte shorts recently, but it's the first time I've paired it with these navy printed ones that I have hit 30 wears with. Because it was such a hot day, simple shorts, tee and Havaianas was all I needed, especially with all the running around we had to do.

Tried being a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on my small Chloe Paraty bag with the gold necklace and gold and black bracelet stack as well.


Last worn: pink tee, gold marble necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and maxi skirt, navy printed culotte shorts worn 30 ways, Chloe small Paraty bag and dress.

Chloe Small Paraty Bag In Periwinkle: Review and What's In my Bag

---

What I wore:

Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I often reach for these pink leopard print jeans in spring! There's something so spring-like about the bright pink leopard print, and they are incredibly fun jeans to wear. Blue has to be the colour I wear with them most often, so I thought I'd mix it up a little with this navy graphic tee that has a purple print on it so it was a little different from all the other times I've paired a navy top with these jeans! It was a quiet Sunday, we didn't have too much on, just an appointment for my son, so jeans and a tee was nice and comfortable. And the Chloe Paraty bag fits more than it looks like - had a little library book in there to read while waiting for our appointment.

Again I stuck with my Havaianas - the warm spring weather is making me want to take a break from my sneakers and Converse!

Last worn: graphic tee, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas (above), periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: graphic tee and blazer, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: graphic tee in third trimester, pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue is a winning combination! You can easily pair a printed piece in your outfit with a plain tee like I have in the first outfit. Or you can try something a little different and go for a muted graphic print tee with another print in your outfit like I have with the leopard print jeans.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Pink and Brown With Denim and Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

Two pink and brown outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! I've noticed a lot of bloggers wearing brown recently and always think "I have so little brown in my wardrobe" but I actually have a few brown pieces! Seeing the colour around so much was the perfect excuse to get these brown tanks out again and remind myself why I shouldn't have forgotten about them!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
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: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

More of a late autumn outfit than an end of summer outfit really, needing both jeans and a blazer! I wore this at the end of February, for a quiet Friday with the school run and working from home. With the downpour that started overnight the night before it was very cold and wet - jeans were a good choice and I added the blazer for warmth. Got absolutely drenched when dropping the kids off as school, but thankfully the blazer dried quickly, being made of rayon. With the rain continuing, we postponed some after school errands in favour of staying home and dry. Made some chocolate chip cookies to cheer us up with all the rain too. Hubby noted that water was starting to come over the roads on his way home. 

Woke up the next morning to find out from our neighbour that the street was flooding. During one of our walks that weekend when the rain was lighter to check on the flood levels, we stumbled across a poor drenched and shivering little budgie under a bush! Little thing was so tired and scared, it let me pick it up and snuggled into my jumper. The next day, someone in the area was able to drive close enough to us that we could walk through the floods and give the budgie to him for more normal living arrangement in a proper bird cage (instead of the box we hastily constructed) until the owner could be found. Such a crazy weekend!

We ended up being flooded in for 3 days. We are so lucky our house stayed dry. We've been through floods before of course in other places, but after building this house just over 2 years ago it's never faced an extreme event like this before, and we've never had persistent floods since the boys were born. Lots of comparisons around here to Brisbane's 2011 floods, and lots of friends and neighbours who evacuated and so many many houses destroyed. If you want to, you can donate here to help.

Last worn: blush blazer, blush and rose gold necklace, brown printed tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, black Converse Chucks, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn 2 ways, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans worn 2 ways, black Converse Chucks and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag in third trimester.

Wear And Tear: Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag After 7 Years

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Rowena print tank
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

What a difference a few days makes! When I put outfit photos together for a post I could have worn the outfits anywhere from a day to weeks apart. While I wore these outfits just 3 days apart it felt a lot longer. It was the first day we could actually drive away from our house! The school was still closed because of the flooding but after I finished work for the day we were able to drive out to the grocery store to get a few essentials that we had run out of while flooded in. And we made sure to return some very overdue library books we were supposed to take back on Friday. When it was raining too bad to drive there on Friday I had naively thought the weather would be better on Saturday to return them, but of course we were flooded in.

Since I loved the pink and brown combo above I repeated it again! With a black distressed denim skirt this time, a brown animal print tank, and a pink kimono as it was a hot day. It was nice to have the sunshine again, and to see most of the flooding in our suburb dried up.

While I really loved the first outfit and thought I'd love this as it's almost exactly the same outfit formula, I think this was missing something. I debated which necklace to wear for a little bit that morning and maybe a different more statement one would have looked better with this, or tucking the tank into my skirt more.


Last worn: pink kimono, animal print tank, necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pink kimono and stripes, animal print tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and orange tee, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: animal print tank in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Pink and brown are lovely together! Try adding a pink topper like a kimono or blazer over a brown tank.
