Red Tees and Black Cardigans With Skinny Jeans

Just like in my previous post, wearing red tees again! This time paired with black knits and skinny jeans.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee 
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Why I wore it:

I love how blanket-like this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana is! The black and white print means it goes with everything, and jeans and a tee is a bit of a staple for me in winter, especially paired with this cosy topper. It was a nice easy outfit for working from home, with the school run and then the end of term wrap-party for sports in the evening. I just wrapped the knit around me to keep me warmer at night!

I did take a big book along with me to the party, it was a party for the kids, so I just had to sit on the sidelines. I needed a big bag for it and this Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag was perfect, as it fit my essentials, the large novel I was reading from the library, and my water bottle too.

The tee, like the necklace, is recently thrifted. While the necklace sticks with the neutral colour scheme of the black and white knit and Converse, black jeans and grey bag, I liked the pop of colour the red tee added to this outfit.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana, statement beaded necklace, red crew neck tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

EarringsMichael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted blue knotted beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit! It was a quiet weekend but I had a couple of errands to run. We were celebrating a big milestone at work the next day, so I ran round a few grocery stores to pick up the perfect ingredients for a cookie platter. It was fun to put together, especially as I ate a couple accidentally broken cookies that didn't make it into the box at the end!

Just like the outfit above, the red tee provides most of the colour in this outfit, with the white Converse, grey skinny jeans, and black cocoon cardigan. I did add a little extra colour with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and the blue beaded necklace too. Just like the necklace in the outfit above, it's a recent opshop find.

Leopard Print, Trench Coats And Jeans

Layering up two leopard print tops for the office with trench coats and skinny jeans. The colder morning commutes to work have had me pulling out my thickest, warmest jackets and all my jeans!


What I wore:






Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Shirts: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

This leopard print shirt from my sister's wardrobe is a good neutral, but with the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and the tan trench coat it was a bit too neutral. So I added a lot of pink, with the pale pink Converse, fuchsia pink statement earrings and the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag. I felt all the different shades of pink with this cheered this outfit up nicely for a day in the office.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the shirt. It's a nice oversized style with batwing sleeves but this is the first time I have worn it untucked and it was sliding about everywhere. I had a tank underneath for warmth more than anything but I was grateful of it a few times as the shirt slid down. It's going to be donated, too fiddly for me to wear unless I only want to tuck it in, now I see why my sister no longer wanted it!


Last worn: camel trench coat, statement fuchsia earrings, leopard print shirt, Nobody Denim jeans, pink Converse, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag.

Other ways to weartan trench coat worn 30 ways, leopard print shirt and skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, pink Converse and skirtsorbet pink Balenciaga city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancyBalenciaga sorbet pink city bag at 37 weeks.





What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
EarringsKmart blue fringe crescent statement earrings
Top: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

I don't wear this pretty blue silk leopard print blouse enough! It's handwash only which means I'm not even brave enough to try it in the washing machine handwash cycle with most of my clothes - I actually need to take the time to handwash it separately. It's so pretty though, I love the print and the mix of prints on the tassel ties and sleeves (which are striped). Sadly as this was one of the days I had to be up and in the office early, the sun hadn't risen enough to see that detail in the photos.

Just like the outfit above I wore black skinny jeans and sneakers. I added a little extra colour to this with the purple Chloe Paraty bag too. I always like adding more colour with a bag.

Black Skinny Jeans, Blouses and Denim Trench Coat

Wearing my Kmart denim trench coat again, with black skinny jeans, blue Converse and blouses for winter office days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Top: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Despite it being a super cold winter day I had an event at work I wanted to dress up for. I caved and went with jeans for warmth, and had a singlet layered under this silky blouse. With the long sleeves it kept me warm and I felt it dressed up my jeans a little more, especially when paired with this silver statement necklace. The funniest thing was when I saw mum in the afternoon, she was also wearing a silky blouse like this, just in blue!

With the denim trench and the Nobody Denim skinny jeans this was a lot of denim, but I didn't have to wear my trench in the office. I added a little extra blue against the trench though with the blue Converse and the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.


Last worn: denim trench coat, silver hoop earrings, silver necklace, silky blouse, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to weardenim trench coat and dress, silky blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and shorts.







What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Top: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

Another long sleeved jewel toned blouse with black jeans, this navy studded one this time. Again I wore the denim trench, it's been keeping me quite cosy in the cooler morning and afternoon commutes to work. As this navy blouse is studded I skipped the necklace, and just added these purple statement earrings. I wanted a purple bag to be a bit matchy-matchy, and although this raisin purple Balenciaga work bag isn't an exact match with the purple earrings I liked the two together.

Again I wore my blue Converse. They are becoming a go-to with this denim trench, even though like the bag and earrings they aren't exact shade matches.


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, denim trench coat (above), navy blouse, faded black skinny jeans, blue Converse (above), purple Balenciaga work bag.

Graphic Tees, Skinny Jeans, Cardigans and Mimco Cocoon bag

Wearing graphic tees with jeans again, making them nice and cosy for winter with these cocoon cardigans, and my Mimco cocoon bag.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

Having purchased this tee at the Kisschasy gig the night before, I was eager to wear it right away! Jeans are the easiest outfit choice with a band tee, and this coated denim pair was overdue another wear. With the black coated jeans, black stripes in the Adidas superstar, the black cocoon cardigan was a nice matchy-matchy choice. I continued the matching with the tassel earrings and the teal Mimco Cocoon bag. Surprisingly, it's the first time I've worn the earrings and bag together. It's such a good combination I'm sure I'll be repeating it again soon!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for a couple of errands and a bit of shopping with my sister and the boys.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, teal tassel earrings, Kisschasy band tee, coated denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco teal cocoon bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Tee: Canada bear graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

This is actually the outfit I wore to the gig I bought the tee above at! I did swap out the grey cocoon cardigan for a warmer hoodie to go out to the show, but during the day this grey cardigan was all I needed to stay warm. Jeans and a tee has been a staple working from home outfit over winter, especially with a nice cosy knit like this. It was a warmer day and so I didn't need to add a scarf for the school run which was good as it would have hidden the detail on this Canada graphic tee.

With the blue and green in the graphic print I felt the teal Mimco cocoon bag was a nice choice, and it was something I could wear crossbody during the show while in the crowd. It's also a lot more spacious that it looks, both my sister and I bought tees at the merch stand and they fit in the bag nicely along with my essentials and left me hands-free for dancing during the songs. The Converse were an incredibly comfortable choice for being on my feet for a few hours too. We had such a great night!

Animal Print and Blazer Office Outfits With Pink

Two different pink and animal print outfits for the office, worn with blazers to dress them up a little.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was a really good day at work! A colleague from another office was visiting and it was lovely to see them again.

I only had a few meetings so went with a jeans and blazer outfit, with this cheetah print cami. I like wearing printed tops with this blush pink blazer, it's always a good combination. I added a little more pink with the pink Converse, although they don't match the shade of pink in the blazer I like the two shades together with all the neutrals in the outfit. The brown Chloe Paddington I've been wearing a lot lately, and I thought matched nicely with the brown in the print of the tank. While the hardware and padlock on the Paddington bag is gold I thought that the silver accessories would be nice with this. The hammered silver statement necklace and silver circle earrings are such a nice pairing together. Both are opshop finds.


Last worn: blush blazer, silver circle earrings, silver statement necklace, cheetah print cami, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearblush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyblush blazer in third trimesterChloe Paddington in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

This is a very different looking outfit from the one above, but it follows the same basic formula with a blazer, some animal print, and a touch of pink. this time around it was a lot of leopard print, with this beautiful maxi skirt, which was an opshop find. The grey tee was a good neutral with the bold print, and then the black blazer from my sister's wardrobe was a nice topper. Even with the gold accessories, the statement earrings and the faux pearl necklace, this outfit felt like it needed a little more. The pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was just the right way to add a little more colour, and I liked the matchy-matchy with the gold accessories and the gold hardware on the mini5-zip bag.

I wore my converse again - I pretty much live in sneakers now! With the brown ones to match the brown in the leopard print of the skirt. Another easy office outfit.


Last worn: black blazer, gold earrings, faux pearl necklace, grey tee, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wearblack blazer and dress, grey tee and denim, leopard print maxi skirt with red, brown Converse and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and denim skirt.

Green Camis and Bright Blazers With Converse

Two green toned camis for office days, with bright blazers over the top to add even more colour.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
SkirtAsos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really like blue and green together, but this is the first time I've worn this mint cami with the bright cobalt blazer. It was such a fun combination! I picked the grey pencil skirt to wear as I haven't worn it for a while. It used to be an office staple before 2020, but things are a lot more casual and relaxed in the office now, and so I was debating if I even still needed it in my wardrobe or if it's too corporate. I'm so glad that I gave it another wear, pleased that it fit, and it can come back into my office rotation, it's such a good basic!

Paired with casual Converse because they are my go-to shoe lately, along with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. While it's been worn more recently than the pencil skirt, it was still overdue a wear. Like the skirt, the bag also needs to be worn more often!


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mint cami, gold circle necklace, clay earrings, grey pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearcobalt blazer and dress, mint cami and shorts, grey pencil skirt in winter, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancypencil skirt in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was a much cooler and wetter day than the day above, so it called for jeans! I love dressing up jeans with a blazer in the office. And with the black jeans and the light olive cami it was a bit of a neutral outfit, especially with the brown Converse and the pale Chloe Ethel bag. I think the bright orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with this outfit!

The blazer dressed up the jeans, covered up the spaghetti straps of the cami and kept me warm on the cold and wet commute.

Leopard Print Cocoon Cardigan With Black Denim

Two autumn outfits, both with black denim, colourful tops, and this cosy leopard print cocoon cardigan I recently thrifted.



What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:


Couldn't believe my luck when I saw this leopard print cardigan at my favourite opshop! At just $1 it was a good replacement for the leopard print cardi I had a couple of winters ago and decided wasn't perfect for me, so donated back. This one I really like. I'm a sucker for a cocoon shaped cardigan, and with the black and white leopard print it looks great with everything. Wore it for a cooler autumn morning, although I did end up taking the cardigan off by the time we got to church as the sun came out and the day warmed up nicely.

The rose gold necklace is an opshop find too, from the same trip I got this cute knit on. The black skinny jeans are an old opshop find and while the purple tee and pink Converse were purchased new, the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag was a preloved find as well.


Last worn: purple tee, rose gold necklace, black skinny jeans, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag. First time I've worn the pink Converse as they were a recent gift from mum, and first time I've worn the cardigan as it was a recent opshop buy.

What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
ShoesHavaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit to the one above with this leopard print cardigan. This time around I picked a plain pink cami, and a black denim pencil skirt. The cardigan was a great option to cover up the spaghetti straps on the cami when on video calls as I worked from home. It was warmer later in the day when I finished working and we stopped by the library, but I kept the cardigan on as I wasn't too hot in this denim skirt. Didn't need to carry much, so went with my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag which matched the cardigan, necklace and denim skirt nicely.

I liked the simplicity of this outfit and I see myself wearing this leopard print cocoon cardigan a lot more as the weather keeps cooling off here in Brisbane. Such a good opshop find.


Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan (above), black necklace, terracotta pink cami, black denim skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the Havaianas as they are a recent purchase.

Black Denim, Pink Tees, Cupid Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Pink tees with printed cover ups, my thrifted Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and black denim. Autumn weather is slowly starting to arrive in Brisbane, so some days I'm in jeans as it's cooler, other days it's back to denim skirts and bare legs.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable outfit for the school run and working from home, jeans and a tee was perfect. With the peaches in the floral print of this burgundy cover up I thought I'd try the ombre pink tee with it for something different, and I really liked this combination.

Kept the rest of the outfit simple and neutral with the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and the black skinny jeans.


Last worn: burgundy floral print cover up, silicone necklace, ombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

What I wore:



JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another pink tee and black denim outfit, this time with a denim skirt as it was much too warm for jeans. This navy tie dye duster was a good physical sunblock and I liked the way it moves around my legs when walking. With the flooding from the cyclone recently the mozzies are out in full force and it's good to have an extra something stopping them from biting my legs when I'm out dog walking in the mornings and evening when they are most active.

It's a shame that the silver hoop earrings are hard to spot in my hair here, as I liked how they were a similar shape to the necklace. I'll need to try get a clearer photo next time I wear them together, I like the pairing so they are sure to be worn together again soon!


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, silver hoop earrings, mixed metal necklace, pink modal tee, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).
