Black and Grey Tee and Denim Skirt Outfits With Teal Bag And Navy Cover Ups

Two very similar outfits, both with black and grey, navy cover ups and my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag. A soft tee, colourful cover up and denim skirt is a great working from home outfit over summer in Brisbane. The printed cover ups add a little extra interest and colour in video meetings and stop the tees looking too casual.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Once I got working from home out of the way, I took the kids to an afternoon event at the library that they really enjoyed, getting a chance to make some comics. 

As I was working from home I wanted to be comfortable more than anything, and this black tee is nice and soft and the grey denim skirt kept me cool. I added the navy tie dye cover up to help with sun cover while we were out in the afternoon and while dog walking. I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the blue beaded necklace. Even though the teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag doesn't match any of the blue shades in this outfit I really like wearing it against blues.


Last worn: tie dye duster, tri colour beaded necklace, black tee, Nobody Denim skirt, strappy sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and shorts, black tee and midi skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, strappy sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another tee and denim skirt outfit for working from home, although this time I went with a black skirt and a grey tee, an inverse of the outfit above. Although I did wear the same sandals. It's been a while since I last wore this tee, it was definitely overdue another wear. And with the pink panel on the back I knew this navy zig zag printed cover up would be a nice pairing, with the pink in the print, although it doesn't jump out much in the photos. I liked that subtle bit of matchy-matchy even though the pink panel on the back of the tee was covered up as I never took the kimono off all day.

Just like the day above, I worked from home in the morning before heading out in the late afternoon as I had a few errands to run and an appointment to get to.

I like that this teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag can fit all the essentials plus a book in it, but I didn't have much time to read before my appointment as I was running a little late and they saw me almost immediately.


Last worn: dangly earrings, beaded necklace, chevron print cover up, grey tee, black distressed denim skirt, strappy sandals (above), Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag (above).

Other ways to wear:  chevron print cover up and shorts, grey tee over a dress, black distressed denim skirt and leopard, strappy sandals and jeans, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in third trimester.

Black Tops, Textured Pencil Skirts and Converse With Love Too Bag

Making easy office outfits with black tops and textured pencil skirts. Despite the different coloured skirts in both outfits, I accessorised with my deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag which has certainly been getting a lot of love lately!

What I wore:

Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Tank: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

With the lace bib detail on this tank I always have a heard time trying to pick a necklace to wear with it! I settled on statement earrings this time, these gold and pink ones, while not the same shade of pastel pink as the pencil skirt, I thought still complimented my outfit nicely.

This pink polka dot pencil skirt is one I have been reaching for a lot - it's easy to wear with Converse for an office outfit that doesn't require a lot of planning. With the black textured polka dots on the mesh top layer, any black top works well with it! Although I have a few black tops I could pick from, this is the second time I've worn this tip and skirt together, I added a blazer on top last time I wore the combination.


Last worn: tassel earrings, lace detail tank, polka dot pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: lace detail tank and shorts, polka dot pencil skirt in winter, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink polka dot pencil skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: silver ball multi chain long necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This plain black tee is usually not one I struggle picking a necklace with, as it doesn't have the extra detail at the neckline like the tank in the first outfit. I still couldn't pick a nice necklace in the morning when trying to get ready - in the end I went with this silver one that hadn't been worn in a while, even if I did worry it looked a little more formal than the plain black tee suggested.

Much like the pencil skirt in the first outfit, I find I wear this one with a lot of black, with the black jacquard weave making the choice of top simple and making any black option a nice matchy-matchy choice. I also really like the navy background with the deep teal Love Too bag. The blue Converse sneakers were a third shade of blue with this outfit, but I feel they really go with everything!

Last worn: silver necklace, black tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black tee and skirt, jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, blue Converse and dress, deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

Neutral Tees and Grey MAM Bag With Colourful Maxi Skirts

Wore a couple colourful maxi skirts recently for working from home days with brief outfits. Both outfits worn with my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag, that is still going strong even though I bought it nearly 11 years ago. The perfect go with everything bag that fits all the essentials plus more.

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wanted something that was both comfortable and colourful, as while I was working from home I had some time in my afternoon to go cheer my son on at his sports day. I figured I'd be easy to spot in the side lines in this bright tie dye maxi skirt! Did keep the rest of my outfit simple and neutral though, with this grey marle tee and then a little matchy-matchy with this grey and blue clay beaded necklace. I thought the Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag was a good accessory to fit in a water bottle for me as I cheered on the side lines, as well as my camera for taking some good photos.

Unfortunately, forgot the camera in my haste to get out the door for sports day in the small gap I had between meetings, but at least I was able to be there in person even if I couldn't get any good photos.


Last worn: grey marle tee, beaded statement necklace, tie dye maxi skirt, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: grey marle tee and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, tan slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Again I wore my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM as I had to carry a few extra things on this day. Although with the black tee, a black bag probably would have worked better, I just wanted to wear this bag again. It fit all the essentials plus my latest book, as I had to pick up my son early from school for an appointment and I like to read in waiting rooms.

It's not the first time I've worn this ochre maxi skirt with a black tee, I like the simplicity of a classic neutral against the colourful orange skirt. I added a little more colour with the yellow necklace too.

Again I went with my tan slides that I have been wearing non stop since getting for Christmas! Perfect for the work from home / school run days when I'm not doing a lot of walking.


Last worn: black textured tee, yellow necklace, ochre maxi skirt, tan slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM (above).

Other ways to wear: black textured tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt with chambray, tan slides and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Blue And Green Shorts Tee Duster Outfits

I really like wearing blue and green together! I definitely don't agree with the "blue and green should never be seen" saying! Both these shorts and tee outfits feature different shades of blue and green together.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We headed out to join in a science walk for Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count. The kids had a great time running around with their nets catching and identifying a bunch of different insects. We caught a few dragonflies along with the butterflies, and it was so interesting learning about them from the entomologist that joined us. Although I'm sure that we double caught some butterflies a few times, as the kids kept running backwards and forwards and as soon as one was released someone else was on its tail!

Needed a good practical outfit for a bush walk on a warm day, shorts and tee and sneakers were perfect. This black tee and denim Bermuda shorts felt a bit plain, even with the yellow necklace adding a little colour. So I added the green floral duster on top. Good for extra sun coverage and a little more colour. The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag really pops against the green duster, and it was a good size for carrying all our water bottles.


Last worn: green floral duster, black textured tee, yellow necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and dress, black textured tee and printed shorts, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Sketchers and sundress, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I had a shorter work day, just working from home, because as well as the school run I had an appointment in the afternoon. Even had time for a super quick browse of my local opshop before picking up the kids.

Just like in the outfit above, I wanted to be comfortable. I haven't worn these olive embroidered shorts for a while but they are such a great piece as olive goes with so much. I really liked the navy tee with them, and then I added more green and blue with the brighter palm print cover up. I added yet another shade of blue with the electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag also. I liked all these different shades of blue and green together.


Last worn: palm print cover up, heart charm necklace, navy tee, olive embroidered shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up with yellow, navy tee and leopard print, olive embroidered shorts worn 30 ways, tan slides and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag with red.

Black and Grey Office Pencil Skirt Outfits With Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Just like last week, sharing a couple more neutral black and grey outfits I wore into the office. Paired both of these grey pencil skirts with some black tees and then added a little colour with my lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey 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:

It was nice wearing this stretchy knit pencil skirt again! It was a firm staple pre-pandemic, and being a nice stretchy jersey it's incredibly comfortable to wear. Don't know why it hasn't hit 30 wears yet! I am starting to delve into the "workwear" area of my wardrobe more often with dressing for the office now so hopefully it will hit that figure soon. It goes well with anything, but keeping it simple for this day at work I wore it with the plain black tee (an opshop find) and a little matchy-matchy with the black Converse too.

Although the mauve Polene numero neuf mini bag is not quite the same shade of lilac as the statement necklace, I really like the two accessories together and the little extra colour they added to this otherwise neutral monochromatic outfit.


Last worn: black modal tee, lilac statement necklace, grey jersey pencil skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: black modal tee and midi skirt, grey jersey pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and shorts, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey jersey pencil skirt in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Incredibly similar outfit to the one above, just with slightly messier hair as my straightener broke that morning which is not ideal when you're already pushed for time to get out the door! Much like the grey jersey pencil skirt above, this textured Target pencil skirt is becoming a staple and I feel I almost wear it weekly! It's great for in the office and I know I'll continue to wear it as the weather cools as it's a lovely thick cosy textured fabric.

I kept the necklace matching the colour scheme of my outfit this time with the black and silver necklace, but still had my little lilac Polene numero neuf mini bag for a touch of colour. It just works so well in a neutral outfit like the two in these posts!


Last worn: black v-neck tee, clover necklace, textured pencil skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black v-neck tee and jeans, textured pencil skirt with green, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.

Black Denim Skirts and Tee Outfits With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two very simple neutral denim skirts and tee outfits, both with black and white printed cover ups and the same purple Chloe Paraty bag and necklace.

What I wore:

Jacket: Seed Heritage black printed poncho
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

I got this amazing printed cover up from mum for Christmas. Being black and white it will go with everything. Although this is the second time I've worn it, it's the second time I've paired it with neutrals! I even wore it with this tee last time I wore it too. It is a good layer to add a little more interest to the plain grey pocket tee and distressed denim skirt outfit. Even the the tan slides though it was a lot of dark neutrals, so I added the purple marble and gold necklace to brighten it up a little, and then my deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag. I really like the extra but not overwhelming colour this bag adds to a neutral outfit.

Ideal outfit for a playdate and a couple of errands on the weekend.

Last worn: printed capes, grey pocket tee, gold and marble necklace, Nobody Denim distressed skirt, tan slides, Chloe small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cape ad shorts, grey pocket tee, Nobody Denim distressed skirt and sequins, tan slides and dress, Chloe small Paraty bag and pencil skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Vienna Awaits' floral print kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

A busy day and being temporarily without a car meant comfortable sneakers for some actual running around. As well as the school drop off, we had an appointment for my son that morning. And then it was racing back home to work from home for a few hours before heading back to school to pick up the kids.

It was another hot and humid Brisbane summer day so while a black tee and black denim skirt weren't the best colour choice, I thought the white cover up would help reflect some of the heat and keep me cool. And I liked the pattern mix of the space dye tee against the floral Paisley print on the cover up. Wasn't sure at first if it would be too busy, but I think sticking with black and white in both prints worked.

Again I went with the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little bit of colour. And happened to pick the same necklace again! I really do like this bag and necklace worn together.


Last worn: floral print cover up, space dye tee, marble necklace (above), black denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Chloe purple small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral print cover up over a dress, space dye tee and blazer, black denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and jeans.

Green And Blue Office Outfits With Converse and 5-Zip Bag

Two different office outfits, both featuring green and blue with my vintage faded electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green and red marble clay circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

Making this green Kmart broderie anglaise midi skirt work outside of December by pairing it with a simple black textured tee for the office. The red and green earrings were a Christmas set I made but I thought that the black tee and matching black Converse played down the Christmas theme enough. I really like this green skirt and I'm excited to wear it year round to get the most out of this Christmas present.

Green and blue is a combination I've been enjoying more lately, so this electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag seemed like an obvious choice with this pretty green skirt. The chunky geometric necklace was the obvious choice as it has both blue and green in it too. I really liked this outfit, it was great for a quiet day in the office.


Last worn: black textured tee, geometric necklace, green midi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the earrings as I made them over Christmas.

Other ways to wear: black textured tee, green midi skirt with red, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

This is a slightly different way to do green and blue. Again I wore my electric blue 5 zip bag, and this time I wore my blue Converse sneakers. I thought the blue accessories worked well with the teal background of this floral print dress. Not the first time I've worn this teal dress with blues, I really like the combination, so it's something I repeat often.

This is such a good dress for the office. While it's a light viscose the long sleeves and midi length help stop me from feeling too cold in the office aricon.

Last worn: Kmart teal floral midi dress, Tiffany heart necklace, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip (above).

Other ways to wear: Kmart teal floral midi dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip and shorts.

Neutral Shorts and Tee Outfits With Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Two neutral shorts and tee outfits with some colourful accessories to brighten them up. Both of these outfits feature a lot of new pieces I got for Christmas, one of which is this beautiful Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in mauve, a beautiful shade of lilac. I always like my January outfits as I have fun thinking up different ways to wear all the awesome things I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Jacket: Salty Crush Haylo pink lace duster (Christmas present)
Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Tee: black textured crew neck tee (Christmas present)

Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve (Christmas present)

Why I wore it:

With the textured black tee and the black printed shorts, I was hoping that there would be enough detail in this outfit to keep it interesting, even though it was just black and white. Even adding the cute little Polene Numero Neuf mini bag didn't seem to brighten it up enough, so I reached for this pretty lace duster my sister got me for Christmas. With the pink lace duster, I added pink earrings too for a little matchy-matchy. I really liked this outfit!

We had to run a few errands and visit the library, so a causal shorts and tee outfit would have been fine, but I love the extra colour and interest this duster added to the outfit. Made me so happy having it swooshing around behind me all day!


Last worn: tassel earrings, printed shorts, tan slides. First time I've worn the bag, tee and duster as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear:  printed shorts and knit, tan slides and dress.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Seed Heritage black printed poncho (Christmas present)
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee (Christmas present)
Shorts: beige soft tie waist shorts
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas (Christmas present)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve

Why I wore it:

This outfit was a little lighter, with the grey tee and the cute beige belted shorts mum got me for Christmas and this amazing Seed Heritage poncho. All 3 pieces, like the lilac necklace I thrifted, are opshop finds. I had a lot of fun adding an opshopping day to our pre-Christmas shopping routines this year! The neutral shorts of course go with everything, but I couldn't resist adding a little matchy-matchy with the lilac beaded necklace that's so similar to the light lilac shade of the Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. Just wore my black matte Havaianas (also a Christmas gift) as I had a couple errands to run again, and had to pick up a few groceries.


Last worn: lilac necklace, Polene Numero Neuf bag (above). First time I've worn the cape, tee, shorts and Havaianas as they are Christmas presents.

Red and Green Midi Skirt and Tee Outfits For The Office

Wore both of these outfits back in December before finishing up work for the Christmas holidays. Both are simple tee and midi skirt outfits, with a bit of red and green for some December festivity.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

Red and leopard together is always a winner! I liked this coral tee with the green accessories too, with both the beaded necklace and the little green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, it was perfectly festive for Christmas without feeling like too much. It was pretty quiet in the office, with lots of leave starting already, so this was nice and comfortable for a day at my desk. This midi skirt has become a frequent go-to for me for work after I thrifted it back in October. Pre-pandemic I would have thought it a little too casual for the office, but my already business casual office culture has become even more relaxed since we started popping back into the office again.

Did think of trying to dress this up a little with ballet flats rather than Converse, but again went for comfort with the Converse.

Last worn: earrings, coral tee, green necklace, leopard print midi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and maxi skirt, leopard print midi skirt and metallic tank, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag with orange skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This was my last day in the office and last day at work for the year before starting my summer break so I just had to wear this pretty broderie anglaise midi skirt. Mum got it for me for Christmas on our annual pre-Christmas shopping trip but I wanted to start wearing it early - I knew it would be great for this last day at work for the year, and I wore it to the White Christmas night at Movieworld too. I'm excited to wear this outside of December and make it work year-round, but for this outfit I leaned into it and added some red accessories to make it more festive.

While the little red studded saddle bag and the red multi strand statement necklace and red bracelet stack are different shades of red, I think they worked well together and of course the black tee goes with everything. I did add a little extra matchy-matchy by wearing my black converse with this too.

To make things even more festive, I walked around the office in a Santa hat as well!

Last worn: black tee, red statement necklace, Converse (above), red studded saddle bag. First time I've shared the skirt on the blog as it's as recent gift.

Other ways to wear: black tee and shorts, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.
