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:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Chloe 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 wear: blush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, Chloe 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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: black 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
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: cobalt 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 pregnancy: pencil 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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe 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.

Last worn: orange blazer, heart stud earrings, foil bead necklace, olive cami, faded black jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, olive cami and skirt, faded black jeans and leather jacket, brown Converse with black and white, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe 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.
 
Other ways to wear: purple tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and trench coat, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag and dress.

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
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO 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.

Other ways to wear: terracotta pink cami and shorts, black denim skirt and stripes, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

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
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted 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.

Other ways to wear: burgundy floral print cover up and shorts, ombre pink tee and white denim, black skinny jeans and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest 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
Bag: thrifted 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).

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape and jeans, pink modal tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Red Bag, Black Skinny Jeans and Animal Print Office Outfits

With cooler autumn weather arriving this March in Brisbane, I've started getting my jeans out again. Wearing both of these black skinny jeans to the office with animal print tops and a pop of colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Shirt: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This shirt is from my sister's wardrobe. I love the relaxed fit and the batwing sleeves. It is a very thick polyester though, and much too warm last time I wore it. it was good to get it out again on this cooler day, no extra layer needed. I tucked it in to show off the zipper detail on the pockets of these jeans.

The black Converse were an obvious choice with the black skinny jeans, I wear the two together quite often. Even though the red dinosaur earrings are a deeper and darker shade of red than the brighter Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag, I liked the two red accessories with this neutral coloured outfit.


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, leopard print shirt, zip detail jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print shirt, zip detail jeans and trench, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Just like the outfit above, I followed the same basic formula, with black skinny jeans and my black converse again, topped with an animal print top. This cheetah print cami is, like the bright cobalt blazer, an opshop find. With the spaghetti straps of the cami I needed something to cover up my shoulders for a day in the office, and I liked the extra warmth this blazer gave my otherwise bare shoulders on the colder autumn morning commute.

While this is a more colourful outfit with the bright cobalt blazer, I still went with the red studded saddle bag, I really like the cheerful combination of the bright blue jacket and red crossbody bag together.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, cobalt blazer, navy necklace, animal print cami, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded red saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, animal print cami and skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and leather jacket, black Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Animal Print and Black Office Outfits With Purple Bags

Two leopard print tops outfits with black, and purple bags for the office. These are two very differently layered outfits for the varied weather in Brisbane back at the start of summer.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Shirt: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I scored this shirt in my sister's wardrobe clear out and I love it! I like the batwing sleeves and it's perfect with this little black skirt for the office. With the black skirt and the black Converse, I added the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for a little extra colour.

This outfit was so good for a busy day in the office, but I was not as happy with it on the commute and the school run. The shirt is polyester and it's quite thick so while it was perfect in the office aircon it was really hot outside of it! Maybe something I wear a little less in the warmer months, as I love it too much to let it leave my wardrobe to go in the donation bag just yet. It will come in really useful when the heat in Brisbane finally lets up later in the year.


Last worn: charm necklace, black zip detail skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the leopard print shirt.
 
Other ways to wear: black zip detail skirt and blazer, black Converse and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: black pencil skirt in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

I need a few more layers on this wetter summer day, it was quite cool after being cloudy and rainy most of the week. The shirt above would have been perfect for this kind of day! Instead I was wearing my cheetah print cami, with my Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and then the grey blazer on top for a little extra warmth and to cover up the spaghetti straps of the singlet in the office. It's not the first time I've worn this blazer and cami together before, I really like the combination.

I felt this outfit needed a little more colour than the outfit above so I went with a darker purple bag, this Balenciaga work bag that I adore. It's huge but very lightweight and easily fits everything I need for a day in the office inside, with lots of room to spare. It doesn't match the lilac necklace at all, but I liked the two different shades of purple with all the neutrals in this outfit.


Last worn: grey blazer, cheetah print cami, lilac necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga purple work bag.

Other ways to wear: grey blazer and skirt, cheetah print cami and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Balenciaga purple work bag and wrap dress.

Printed Tanks and Black Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Bag

Two printed tank outfits I wore recently for different sprint days, one for a cooler day with an extra cardigan, and another on a warmer day with just a simple tank and shorts together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

It was a colder, cloudy spring day so I pulled out another cardigan. This black cocoon cardigan is a cosy favourite, and I thought it was nice with the matching black converse, skinny jeans, and Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag. With all the black, the coral brushstroke tank really stood out. I haven't worn this tank for a while, and it was overdue a wear! 

This was a really easy and comfortable outfit as after work we had to attend a high school tour with my son. I picked the big Rebecca Minkoff tote bag as it fits all the essentials I needed plus water bottles for us as well.

Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, pearl earring, tassel necklace, brushstroke tank, wrap bracelet, faded skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, brushstroke tank and maxi skirt, faded skinny jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: brushstroke tank in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer spring day, so I didn't need the jeans or a cardigan. The humidity meant these light printed shorts were a good choice, and I thought I'd try a little print mixing with the bright tank. Although different, the prints all worked together nicely. I didn't wear a necklace as the outfit was busy enough with the prints together, and also because it was a bit too warm and humid to want to wear any extra accessories!

I worked from home after the school run, and then picked the kids up from school in the afternoon before  sports. I didn't need such a large tote bag as I wasn't carrying much, but this was a nice easy one to carry and I liked how it matched the black shorts and black sandals.


Last worn: printed tank, printed shorts, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed tank and mustard cardigan, printed shorts and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

Green and Blue Jeans and Tee Outfits

I really like wearing green and blue together. Both these jeans and tee outfits feature blue and green together in different shades, and I like the colour combinations in each outfit. 

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus jade beads and Roie Designs bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

Jeans and a tee has become a staple for me while working from home this spring! I liked the printed cover up on top of the green tee, it adds a little interest when on a video call. With the blue printed cover up against the green tee I added the navy and gold necklace for an extra contrast. Doesn't match the blue in the print at all but I liked the different shades of blue in this outfit.

Added more green as well with the green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. Like the necklace and cover up, the shade doesn't match the tee, but again I liked both shades in this outfit.

Kept the rest simple with my black jeans and black strappy sandals, for doing the school run in the morning and evening.


Last worn: Cotton On cover up, green tee, navy beaded necklace, zip detail jeans, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: Cotton On cover up and skirt, green tee and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

Another school run and working from home outfit, with sports in the evening after school. The navy beaded necklace is more of a match with the navy chevron print cover up. I tried to match the turquoise in the print with the Balenciaga first bag, although I'm not sure the print shows that turquoise so well in the photos. It still made my matchy-matchy self happy though!

These olive green jeans were due another wear, they are a pair I've exceeded 30 wears with and I have worn them a lot with grey tees, although it's the first time I've worn them with this tee. Wore the same black strappy sandals as I did in the outfit above, they are very comfortable.


Last worn: navy print cover up, navy beaded necklace, grey tee, olive jeans, black strappy sandals (above), Balenciaga First bag.
 
Other ways to wear: navy print cover up with pink, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, black strappy sandals and skirt, Balenciaga First bag and shorts.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans And Colourful Blazers With Balenciaga Bags

Adding some colour and a little more formality to casual striped tee and jeans outfit for the office with these bold and colourful blazers. Both blazers are preloved finds and  they are great additions to my work wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

I've been enjoying wearing oranges and reds together. It's a very autumnal colour scheme, but this combination of the burgundy striped tee and the orange blazer was so subtle it felt like it worked well for spring. The faded black skinny jeans and the white Converse were a comfortable choice and nice neutrals, so I added a little extra colour with the Balenciaga first bag, which really pops against the orange blazer. The turquoise tassel necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with it too.

It was a quiet, mostly sitting at my desk day, so jeans and a tee was perfect for my relaxed office. I did forget to throw the blazer back on for a meeting I had, but the meeting room was quite warm so it was better I didn't have that extra layer!


Last worn: orange blazer, burgundy stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, white leather Converse, bag strap, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, burgundy stripe tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and leather jacket, white leather Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Another outfit following the same formula, showing how fun a bright blazer is even over a simple jeans and tee outfit. Again I went with a striped tee and black skinny jeans. The blue blazer, blue beaded necklace and blue Converse sneakers are all different shades but they work so well together. I can never have too many shades of blue in an outfit!

With all the black and blue, I added another bright Balenciaga bag. Like in the outfit above, I like the bright combination of the contrasting bag and blazer. And the magenta Balenciaga day bag was definitely overdue another wear, it's been a while since I last wore it!


Last worn: cobalt blue blazer, striped tee, beaded necklace, Nobody denim jeans, blue Converse, magenta Balenciaga day bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blue blazer and dress, striped tee and shorts, Nobody denim jeans and cardigan, blue Converse and dress, magenta Balenciaga day bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.
