Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, green tee, navy stripe shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, navy stripe shorts and cardigan, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco black button bag and skirt.

Blue and Green Office Outfits With Skirts And Rebecca Minkoff Edie Shoulder Bag

Both of these green and blue outfits for work feature skirts, and very different shades of green and blue together, but I like the colour pairings in each of them.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Top: Forever New Clara cowl neck sleeveless top in teal
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Felt like this lovely navy jacquard pencil skirt was overdue another wear! I used to wear pencil skirts most days to the office, but since embracing midi skirts lately my pencil skirts have been a little neglected. It was nice to get this out for another wear, and the black and navy works so well with the deep jewel green of this cowl neck tank. The tank was a Christmas present from my Mum and it's so perfect for the office, it got me a lot of compliments. I'll be wearing it more often!

Kept the casual Converse despite the rest of the dressed up outfit as I need comfortable shoes for the commute and running up and down stairs between meeting rooms in the office with my knee injury. Added another shade of blue to this outfit with the Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, it always works well with navy.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, Tiffany necklace, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. First time I've worn the top as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and dress.

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

What I wore:

Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another green and blue outfit, this time in brighter shades. I really like this green broderie midi skirt, I wear it a lot over December as it seems so festive, but it gets worn now and then through the year as well. I paired it with this casual navy cotton tank, then worried it was a little too casual an outfit for the office as we had a colleague visiting. So I added the statement necklace to try dress this up a little, as it was much too hot for my usual go-to of a blazer. I love blazers for the office, but in the Brisbane summer heat and humidity, I really don't need another layer!

Once again I wore my Converse. They add another shade of blue to this outfit, and although they are different from the navy tank and the Luna blue Edie shoulder bag I like the different shades of blue together with the green broderie skirt.


Last worn: beaded necklace, navy tank, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tank and jeans, green broderie midi skirt and printed tee, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and denim jacket.

Green and Blue Tee and Midi Skirt Outfits With Mimco Teal Bag

Wearing some midi skirts into the office with blue tees and my little teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag. I like the teal bag with these green and blue outfits, despite the different shades in both.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus jade bracelet
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This pale blue tee feels a littler more casual than a darker navy one, so I did consider adding a blazer to this. Despite the overcast start to the day it was still very humid though, so I decided not to add the extra layer. It was a quiet day in the office anyway.

I did like the paler blue tee against the bright green of the broderie skirt though. I often wear this skirt with blue tones. The blue Converse were a good match with the tee as well, although not exactly the same shade, they are very similar. I added a little more green with the jade bracelet as well. Wore a neutral navy statement necklace to try dress this up slightly for the office, and then my Mimco cocoon bucket bag that's been a real staple lately.

Last worn: pastel blue tee, navy beaded necklace, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift.

Other ways to wear: pastel blue tee and shorts, green broderie midi skirt and Christmas tee, blue Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Again with the green and a lighter blue! This time around I wore this blue linen midi skirt, with a navy v-neck tee and my green beaded statement necklace for an extra pop of colour. I love wearing this green necklace with navy pieces in my wardrobe, I like the combination. And I really liked this linen midi skirt too. It does get creased up terribly easily, but it is also so light and perfect for a humid spring day. I like that it's also long enough to keep my legs covered up from the freezing aircon in the office.

Just like the midi skirt and tee outfit above, I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag with this outfit. I've been wearing it with almost everything lately, but I think the dark teal looks so good with blue.


Last worn: Christmas tree earrings, navy tee, green beaded necklace, linen midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco cocoon bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and jeans, linen midi skirt and printed tank, white Converse and dress, Mimco cocoon bag and blazer.

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.

Green and Black Outfits With Love Too Bag

While it's officially winter now in Brisbane, I still have some autumn outfits I wore that I haven't posted yet, like this printed shorts outfit I actually wore back in April! Both it and the second outfit are made up of green and black.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like this combination of a green piece in my outfit with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and the chunky green, navy and black geometric bead statement necklace. It's an outfit combination I've worn a few times. This is the first time I've worn the green tee with these black printed shorts though. I also liked this pairing.

Just needed something practical and comfortable to wear for a day of working at home with a break in the afternoon for a physio appointment. As it was back in April and a warm autumn, shorts and tee was perfect.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and skirt, black printed shorts and knit, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
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:

Another autumn outfit, but you can definitely tell it's cooler here! Again it's a black and green outfit, with the black zip detail skinny jeans, and a green floral duster. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with this again as well. I really like wearing this teal bag with greens!

It's not the first time I've worn this green floral duster with navy either, I really like pairing navy tops with it. I thrifted this tee a while back and it has a beautiful metallic thread weaved through it that sadly just doesn't show up in photos. I really like it in person though, feels a little more special than a plain navy tee with that sparkle.

Jeans and a tee is always a good idea for a working from home day when I'm also doing the school run, and we had sports in the evening too.

Last worn: green floral duster, mixed metal necklace, black bracelet stack, metallic navy tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, metallic navy tee and leopard skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

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.

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

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.
