Dresses and Leather Jackets For Winter With Rebecca Minkoff Bags

Layering up some dresses for Brisbane's winter weather with leather jackets. I always like getting my leather jackets out in the cooler weather, they are great outfit toppers.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

On a particularly cold winter morning I layered up this colourful coral red Kmart tiered midi dress with my Jeanswest leather jacket and my paisley print snood (infinity scarf). I wasn't sure if the floral bag and the paisley print scarf would be too much together, but I think they were far enough apart that this outfit worked, and I felt like giving this bag a wear again, it was definitely overdue!

Although the hand painted Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote bag has gold hardware, the paisley print scarf has little silver studs woven through it so I decided to wear my silver circle earrings with this. Wore comfortable shoes as we had church and then some errands to run afterwards, as the kids needed some new school shoes.


Last worn: leather jacket, silver circle earrings, paisley print snood, Kmart tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and printed jeans, paisley print snood and jeans, Kmart tiered midi dress and scarf, Nike Court Royale sneakers and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Paisley print snood in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This was earlier in winter when it was a little warmer so I could face going bare legged. I still layered up with the black ankle boots and black leather jacket to keep me cosy though. This leather jacket is another favourite, picked up preloved at the fashion markets at such a bargain price. I like the juxtaposition of pretty floral dresses with leather jackets, and of course the matchy-matchy of the black leather boots as well made me happy. I added a little extra colour as although the Jasse Semika dress is a colourful floral print, I had added a lot of black. This aquamarine Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and the turquoise tassel earrings are such a nice pairing and I felt they brightened this outfit up.

It was another weekend day, with two kids birthday parties to attend, so a long but fun day. 


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, turquoise tassel earrings, Jaase Semika mini dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Floral Dresses, Denim Jackets and Balenciaga Bags

Wearing some floral dresses, layered up for Brisbane's current winter weather with denim jackets, leggings, and ankle boots. Adding more colour to the outfits with some Balenciaga bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, I wanted something comfortable and warm but also colourful for watching my son compete in the afternoon. With the pink in the floral print of this Jaase Semika mini dress, I added the pink tassel earrings and then more pink with the sorbet Balenciaga city bag. I needed a big bag for fitting my camera inside as well as a book and all my usual essentials. While the pink on the sorbet Balenciaga city bag and the pastel pink tassels on the earrings don't match and don't match the pink in the floral print of the dress, I liked all the shades of pink with this. We were indoors most of the afternoon so the denim jacket was the only layer I needed.

Last worn: pink tassel earrings, denim jacket, Jaase Semika floral mini dress, tan ankle boots, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Jaase Semika floral mini dress and trench coat, tan ankle boots and midi dress, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag at 37 weeks.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: thrifted Iris Maxi the Label purple floral tiered mini dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a calmer day! Again I wanted to try wearing a summer floral dress in winter - this one is a recent opshop find! I couldn't pass it up for just $1 at the opshop, although I did worry a few times during this day that it was a little short. I chose to wear the long denim trench coat made me feel a little more confident that the dress wasn't too short, as the long trench covers everything. I ended up really liking this outfit.

I went all matchy-matchy with the purple flower earrings and purple Balenciaga work bag. I liked the statement earrings for video calls as I worked from home, and the large Balenciaga work bag was perfect for all the essentials and still had a lot of space for my current book so I could read in the afternoon as the kids had a dentist appointment.

Last worn: denim trench coat, floral statement earrings, black ankle boots, purple Balenciaga work bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and jeans, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, purple Balenciaga work bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Pink and Blue: Tiered Midi Dresses and Trench Coats

Two tiered dresses for the office with trench coats. Both of these outfits have scarves to combat the colder winter mornings in Brisbane currently, and feature pink and blue.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Boots: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a bittersweet day! We had a team lunch to celebrate one of our colleagues moving to a new team. I wanted to be a little dressed up for it, but also warm, as the restaurant was partially outdoors, and I had a bunch of meetings that day too. This cosy ombre pink pashmina scarf was a perfect cosy layer, and the navy trench coat was a practical choice as well. I actually ended up taking my scarf off at lunch as we got situated under the heater and it was quite toasty!

I picked this Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote to wear to fit in the card we had all put together for my colleague, and then the black ankle boots were an obvious matchy choice with that. I did wish I'd worn taller boots though, it was a bit of a windy day and that tiny little gap of leg above the boots that showed when the wind picked up the hem of the dress got a bit cold!


Last worn: navy mac, pink ombre scarf, navy and white tiered midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy mac and dress, pink ombre scarf and jeans, navy and white tiered midi dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat

Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another tiered midi dress for the office, with the same black ankle boots. It was not quite as windy a day, so the little gap between the hem of the dress and top of my boots didn't make me too cold. Again I went with darker bag to match the boots. This Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag photographs as a black bag but it's just a very dark navy. I like pairing it with these boots.

I layered up this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with this cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl - it's so warm for winter! And my lined camel trench coat, always a staple in winter weather.


Last worn: tan trench coat, silver hoop earrings, Louis Vuitton shawl, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress, black ankle boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: tan trench coat worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton shawl and stripes, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress and yellow, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Pink Kmart Dresses With Denim Trench Coat and Navy Scarves

Layering up two fuchsia pink Kmart dresses for winter office days with this denim trench, blue bags, and navy printed scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I really like the way these fuchsia earrings match the fuchsia pink of this Kmart tiered midi dress! They are the perfect pair and it was so nice to wear them together. It was a cooler morning so I layered up for the commute with this denim trench coat that's been a staple recently, and had to add a scarf as well. I like the navy of this one against the pink dress and blue denim of the trench coat.

I added another shade of blue with this Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag, and then comfortable sneakers. I did wish on my way to work that I'd worn boots though, proper winter cold weather is here in Brisbane and bare ankles wasn't the nicest in the cold breeze, especially just with this light denim trench.

Unfortunately I managed to roll my chair over this trench at the office and tore a massive hole in it! Easily repaired, but I'm on the look-out now for a pretty patch to disguise the repair.


Last worn: denim trench coat, fuchsia earrings, navy diamond print scarf, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and floral dress, navy diamond print scarf and orange, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I dressed much more warmly on this day, another cooler day I was up early for the commute to work. Again I wore the denim trench coat with this linen Kmart dress. I've layered it up for winter before, despite being linen it's not impossible to wear through the year as it layers so well. I added leggings, and ankle boots this time instead of sneakers. With the denim trench I still needed an extra layer so I went with this pretty navy and white tile print scarf. I really liked the colour of it against the fuchsia pink dress, and again with the blue of the denim trench.

I wore this little Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag, I've been reaching for it a lot lately. It's the perfect size for the essentials I need to take to work as I have my laptop in a work issued bag, and it goes with everything being a neutral shade.


Last worn: denim trench (above), tile print scarf, linen Kmart dress, ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench and florals, tile print scarf and jeans, linen Kmart dress and kimono, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

Jaase Dresses, Denim Jackets and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

2 outfits with a simple outfit formula of Jaase floral dresses, denim jackets, statement earrings and my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. Both outfits worn at the start of winter when it wasn't cold enough to need leggings under these dresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and then an engagement lunch in the afternoon. It felt like a day that would warm up and with the ankle boots and the denim jacket I was warm enough until I did. This navy Jaase autumn leaves print dress has long sleeves too that helped keep me warm.

I couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this, and decided just on a pair of statement earrings instead. I really like these blue crystal ones. With the pale blue wash of the denim jacket and the navy background of the dress, the blue earrings were great with this.

I added a little extra colour with the lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. I didn't need to carry much with me, and this bag is great for just the essentials.


Last worn: statement earrings, denim moto jacket, Jaase Celine dress, tan ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine dress and blazer, tan ankle boots and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Another repetition of the same outfit formula, with a different Jaase floral dress! I picked up this dress recently in the Salty Crush warehouse sale and I've really been enjoying wearing it. For another morning at church and a couple of quick errands afterwards, again a denim jacket was the only topper I needed. It was even warm enough that I didn't need ankle boots and just wore Converse with this.

While the purple floral earrings and the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag are different shades of purple, I liked both of them with the pastel peach tones in this floral Jaase dress, especially paired with the darker wash denim jacket.


Last worn: purple statement floral earrings, denim jacket, Jaase floral dress, white Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Jaase floral dress and trench coat, white Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy:  denim jacket in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Stripe Dresses With Matching Scarves and Bags

With the cold winter weather in Brisbane lately (it's dropped down to 9 or 7 degrees Celsius some mornings!) I've gotten wear from some more winter pieces with these trench coats that are great for cold morning commutes. Wore them with some striped dresses as I felt I was wearing a lot of jeans and needed something a bit different.

With these neutral outfits I added colourful bags and coordinating scarves to brighten them up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this trench coat out again! It's a favourite year after year. It's cosy and lined and perfect for a cold winter morning. I layered a slip under this navy stripe shift dress too, and some cosy fleece lined tights with the ankle boots to keep me warm.

With the dark navy and black stripes and the black tights and boots, I added more colour with the mustard scarf and the yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-zip bag. The scarf and bag aren't an exact match together but I still liked the two yellows against the neutral dress.

While it was a cold morning, it thankfully warmed up at lunch time. I was able to leave my jacket behind when I headed to a nearby restaurant, and still be warm enough. The trench was certainly back on for the afternoon commute home though!


Last worn: camel trench, mustard scarf, gold earrings, navy stripe dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: camel trench worn 30 ways, mustard scarf and LBD, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench in first trimester, navy stripe tee dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl colourful print scarf in green
Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit above so much that I created a very similar one with this other navy striped shift dress I have, this white and navy dress was an opshop find. Again I tried to coordinate my bag and scarf together, with this green mini 5 zip bag and the green shades in the printed scarf. I even added a little yellow into this outfit with the mustard tassel earrings to match the scarf print! Just like the outfit above, the colours in the accessories don't match exactly, but I really liked the combination.

With these tall leather boots and black leggings I was nice and cosy, and actually a bit too warm in the office! The navy trench coat was very much needed on both the commute into the office and home again in the afternoon though, and I was grateful for the warmth of it when we had a couple of errands to run after I picked the kids up from school in the afternoon too.


Last worn: navy Macintosh, mustard tassel earrings, green scarf, white stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, green scarf and grey dress, white stripe dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets, Scarves and Boots

June is the start of winter in Brisbane, and it's definitely brought some scarf weather along with it! It was good to get both of these heart print scarves out again, worn with denim jackets and my Kmart tiered midi dresses for some weekend birthday parties.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, with a birthday party in the morning and then Bonnie's puppy training class in the afternoon. While we were mostly indoors I wanted to be warm and cosy, so layered up this coral dress with the fun heart print tassel scarf. I really liked the scarf and dress together, even if the red in the scarf is a slightly different shade from the coral of the dress. I was sure I'd worn this scarf before but can't find it on the blog - it was one mum got me for Christmas, so surprised this is its first wear!

With the denim jacket and black ankle boots, this was nice and cosy for the day. I could fit a little extra than usual in the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag too, perfect for extra training treats for Bonnie at the class, and I liked the matchy-matchy of it with the black ankle boots.


Last worn: heart earrings, denim jacket, coral midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, coral midi dress for Christmas, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven

Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Took another opportunity to wear the dress, denim jacket, heart scarf and boots combination I liked so much above, with this fuchsia pink tiered midi dress. We had another birthday party to attend and I probably overdressed for it - it was at the arcade so when I tried to jump on one of the arcade games with my son's friend I realised a midi dress was not the most practical for a motorbike race, ha!

I did really like this outfit though, the Stella McCartney scarf is a firm favourite of mine, I love big blanket scarves! And it was so cosy, especially with the tall tan boots. The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag didn't match my boots like it did in the outfit above, but I did appreciate the way it matched the navy in the scarf and it easily held all the essentials plus water bottles for the party.


Last worn: star earrings, white denim jacket, Stella McCartney scarf, fuchsia pink midi dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and skirt, Stella McCartney scarf and jeans, fuchsia pink midi dress with yellow, tan boots and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

Blue Long Sleeved Dresses With Pink Mini MAC Bag

Making the most of warmer weekends back in Autumn and wearing two pretty blue dresses with a little pink bag for some birthday parties!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! We had a family birthday to celebrate, so I wanted to wear this pretty Jaase autumn leaves print dress again. While it was a cooler morning, with the ankle boots and the longer sleeves on the dress I felt fine wearing this and going bare-legged. It was so good to spend time with family!

We also took the opportunity to stop by the shelter we adopted Cooper from to do a meet and greet with a little puppy we'd fallen in love with online. She and Cooper seemed friendly, so this is what I was wearing when we adopted Bonnie. The ankle boots were a good choice and very practical for running around in the meet and greet yard with the dogs.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, silhouette necklace, tan ankle boots, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tan ankle boots and jeans, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another birthday party day, this one was a little cooler so I was grateful for the thicker denim fabric on this tiered dress. It kept me nice and cosy as I caught up with my friends at a bowling party, the kids were very entertained with playing a couple rounds of bowling and then enjoying the arcade before having some delicious cake!

Because the denim fabric on this dress kept me warm and we were indoors for the party anyway, I just went with comfortable Converse sneakers. not as cosy as ankle boots, but perfect for this day.

I added a little more colour with the magenta crescent necklace and again my little redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really like this pink bag with different shades of blue!


Last worn: earrings, crescent necklace, tiered denim dress, leather Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above)

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and red, leather Converse sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and jeans.

Yellow Tees and Navy Pencil Skirts With Love Too Bag

I felt that a lot of my office outfits had been neutrals recently, so decided to add a little more colour and a bit less black but wearing both of these blue textured pencil skirts with cheerful yellow tees!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was a chilly start to the morning - autumn is truly starting to show up in Brisbane, with winter just a couple of weeks away! So I needed to add a blazer to this. I really like this mango yellow tee with the navy jacquard pencil skirt, and the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. Blue and yellow look good together in any shade combination.

The black ankle boots were good for extra warmth and a little bit of matchy-matchy with the black jacquard wave on the pencil skirt. So with the cobalt blue blazer on top I added the little cobalt wrap bracelet too for more matchy-matchy. I really liked this outfit! Good for a cold autumn commute to the office.


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mango tee, navy beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, mango tee, jacquard pencil skirt and pink, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy:  ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

It was a quite office day without too many team members in, so I got away with a simple tee and pencil skirt outfit without having to make it more formal with a blazer on top. I probably should have added a blazer to this as well though, it was a little cooler in the morning than I expected! Luckily it had warmed up enough in the afternoon for the commute home. 

This navy lace pencil skirt is a firm favourite and one I've already hit 30 wears with some time ago. I liked the bright mustard yellow tee with it, and added another shade of blue with the Converse sneakers and navy beaded necklace. I decided to wear a neutral bag with this, with the tee being bright enough. this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag goes with everything.


Last worn: mustard yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, blue lace pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard yellow tee and maxi skirt, blue lace pencil skirt worn 30 ways, blue Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue lace pencil skirt in second trimester.
