Linen Outfits In Winter: Magnificent 8 Style Challenge

It's time for another Magnificent 8 collaboration post! This quarter's theme is linen. Very easy for the 7 other ladies in the US to do, where it's summer right now, but it required a little more planning to wear some linen outfits in winter here in Australia! Surprisingly I was able to come up with 2 perfect winter outfits, both featuring bright and colourful linen pieces.


What I wore:

alexander mcqueen skull scarf with denim jacket linen blend kmart fuchsia dress with ankle boots leggings winter | awayfromblue

denim jacket with Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

I love wearing this bright fuchsia dress on a rainy day! This was a warmer winter day thanks to the rain and cloud cover so it was fine to go partially bare armed with this denim jacket. When I thrifted this dress back in November last year (for just $1!) I knew it was a piece I could try wearing year round. It was the first thing that came to mind when Jodie suggested the linen theme for our Magnificent 8 collaboration.

Adding the pretty blue skull scarf, denim jacket, and leggings and ankle boots was an easy way to make this summer dress much more suitable for winter temperatures. I decided to leave the dress unbelted too as the denim jacket added a bit of waist definition.

I really liked this outfit, even if the linen dress did get a bit crushed, with taking the kids to and from their school holiday program, and working from home during the day. Was perfectly colourful and cosy in this, such a good winter outfit!

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

I actually felt really overdressed in this outfit at lunchtime, as I wore this back at the start of July, on a beautifully sunny weekend when it got hot in the middle of the day. It was a cold morning though and we had an early start with my son off for a playdate at his friend's house. We are at the stage of drop off and leave them for a few hours playdates which is an adjustment for me - but he loves it! When I went to go pick him back up at lunch time from one of his best friend's houses the jacket definitely wasn't needed - the day had heated up so nicely!

It's not the first time I've layered up a summer dress with this cosy yellow scarf - I love how it pops against the light blue of the denim moto jacket and the navy stripes on the dress. Linen is a nice light fabric, but there is so much of it in this linen tassel scarf that it keeps me quite cosy! And is beautifully colourful too.

Again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag - so nice with the different shades of blue in the outfit.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, yellow linen scarf, navy stripe dress, tan knee high boots, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:

While it might be tricky pulling off big chunky winter knits in summer, you can definitely wear linen year round! Make sure to layer up with a scarf, cosy jacket, some boots and maybe even leggings!

Maxi Skirts In Winter With Striped Tees, Scarves, Boots and Denim Jackets

Layering up my maxi skirts to ger some wear from them in winter, with striped tees, cosy scarves, denim jackets and boots. Despite the different colours in both of these outfits, the neutral small Chloe Ethel bag was a great accessory with both.


What I wore:

cobalt scarf, denim jacket, striped tee and orange maxi skirt with knee high boots chloe ethel bag | awayfromblue

orange maxi skirt with Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really like blue and orange together, and I love this ochre maxi skirt with stripes. It's not the first time I've worn this navy stripe tee with the orange skirt, but it is a bit more layered up this time than last time! It was a chilly morning for the school run. Although this cobalt scarf covers up most of the striped tee I really liked the different shades of blue together, especially with the dark denim jacket on top.

Because this maxi skirt has side splits and I didn't want my legs to freeze I wore my leather knee high boots under this to keep cosy! It worked well.

I worked from home while the kids were in school and we stopped off at the park in the afternoon to grab a few more branches for our stick insect to eat. Ended up running into friends and the boys saw a few classmates there too, so we stayed for quite a while and I did wish I'd added leggings under the skirt when it started to get cooler in the afternoon. Luckily we weren't out for too long as we had to get back home to get ready for sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, cobalt scarf, navy stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, tan boots, Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki.

Chloe Ethel Reveal:







What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
TeeAtmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, with the black maxi skirt, pale denim jacket and grey striped tee this outfit was looking a bit bland. The pink and yellow Alexander McQueen skull scarf was the perfect pop of colour to brighten it up a bit! And I like how this reminds me of Sheila and her pink and yellow skull scarf, although hers is a different print she got lucky and found it second hand, I picked this up on sale.

Again I went with boots, just ankle boots this time as the long ruffle hem on this skirt doesn't have any side splits. Was a nice comfortable outfit for a busy day with an appointment, a couple of errands, and a stop at the library for the kids and I to stock up on more books for the weekend.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, pink skull scarf, grey stripe tee, black maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Ethel (above).

How You Can Wear It:


Maxi skirts can work on dry winter days with a few more layers! Try jackets, scarves and of course boots. For super cold winter days, you can add leggings underneath too!

Floral Dresses, Denim Jackets And Knee High Boots

Layering up some pretty floral dresses for recent winter weekend birthday parties, with knee high boots and denim jackets. Accessorising with a couple of my Chloe bags too.


What I wore:

Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress in winter with denim jacket tan knee high boots chloe paraty | awayfromblue

Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with navy floral dress | awayfromtheblue

 
Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

Wore this pretty Jasse dress for my son's birthday party! We had a kid's party entertainer from Fly By Fun again who was awesome at sticking to the theme and had all the kids and adults giggling along - such a fun morning! It was a gloriously sunny day and I ended up taking the denim jacket off - one the day warmed up I really didn't need it. I liked the length of the dress with the knee high boots, I definitely need to wear the boots and dress together more often.

Although it was just a birthday party in the park I tried to dress up a little with the statement earrings as it was a special occasion. I did feel a little overdressed after the party when we went to the library in the afternoon though!

Because I wanted to have my camera close by I picked this Chloe Paraty bag to wear again. The pale periwinkle blue shade looks great with the navy dress and it meant I had my phone and camera close by and easy to grab through the morning.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement gold earrings, gold charm necklace, Jasse autumn leaves dress, knee high boots, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

My Chloe Handbag Collection:






What I wore:

Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger mustard mini dress with denim jacket knee high boots chloe marcie | awayfromblue

denim jacket, Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Zaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

While this outfit follows the same formula as the one above, I didn't like this as much! The statement fluted sleeves of this dress kept bunching up under the sleeves of the jacket so it wasn't the most comfortable. I really liked the colours though. The tiered mustard floral dress is great with the pale blue moto denim jacket and the tan of the boots and brown of the Chloe Marcie bag. However I was expecting the day to be similar to the day above, and super warm. I decided not to add leggings, as standing in the sun the day before in the navy dress I'd had to take my denim jacket off.

We went to a back yard birthday party though and the back yard was in shade that morning - I really wished I'd worn leggings! I felt much colder in this than the outfit above, even though I had a slip on under the dress, just because I was in the shade most of the morning. Cute outfit, just not the most practical for the day. My son had such a good time at his friend's party though, they had so many things set up for the kids to play with and enjoy, I really liked how it was organised!


Last worn: denim moto jacket, statement earrings, diamond necklace, mustard floral dress, knee high boots (above), Chloe medium Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and double denimmustard floral dress and trench coat, knee high boots over jeans, Chloe medium Marcie shoulder bag and maxi skirt.



How You Can Wear It:

If it's not too cold, a denim jacket is a great layer over a cute floral dress to make it work into winter, especially when paired with knee high boots. Just maybe add some leggings if it's a very cold day, like I should have in the second outfit!

30 Ways To Wear: Slouchy Tan Knee High Boots - ASOS Cleo Leather Boots

It's been quite a while since I last did a 30 ways to wear post with footwear, so another was overdue. This month I'm sharing 30 of my favourite ways I've worn these awesome slouchy tan leather knee high boots.


30 Ways To Wear: Slouchy Tan Knee High Boots


30 ways to wear tan slouchy knee high leather riding boots | awayfromtheblue blog


Cost Per Wear

I wish I could calculate the cost per wear with these boots! I know I purchased them in an ASOS sale back in 2012, that's when they first shows up on the blog. I can't find the ASOS order email letting me know how much they cost though which is a shame. They are a pair of boots I've worn in the colder months each year since I got them so I definitely feel I've gotten my money's worth from them! Even though I don't remember what I paid to calculate cost per wear. They have been worn over 47 times and as they are leather they hold up year after year!

Being petite I can never pull off over the knee boots, but these knee high ones are perfect as with a bit of slouch to them I can adjust them. Thick socks or leggings or jeans underneath help them stay in place if I want a less slouchy look and more hight. They work well in so many outfits! Here are just 30 of my favourites.



Tan Knee High Boots With Bare Legs And Dresses


4 ways to wear printed dresses with bare legs and knee high tan boots awayfromtheblue
Definitely my favourite way to wear these boots - although not my most frequently worn outfit combination with them. There are so few days a year where you can get away with bare legs and boots before it gets too cold, but it's such a nice combination I try to wear it when I can!


Knee High Boots Under Maxi Skirts and Dresses


3 ways to wear knee high boots under maxi dresses skirts awayfromblue
Knee high boots under a maxi skirt (or dress like in the middle outfit) definitely doesn't make the most of how cute the boots look, as they are hidden under the skirt! It's such a good way to make a summer maxi skirt work into colder weather though as the knee high leather helps keep your legs warm underneath the skirt!


Skinny Jeans Tucked Into Tan Knee High Boots


5 ways to wear skinny jeans tucked into tan knee high boots awayfromblue
Jeans tucked into boots might be the most common way I've worn these knee high boots! Skinny jeans work best as they stay in place all day without riding up. It's a good way to make these boots a bit taller and less slouchy too, as the thick denim helps keep them pulled right up to my knees.


Knee High Boots With Dresses In Winter


6 ways to wear knee high slouchy tan leather boots with dresses awayfromblue
I do like trying to winterise my summer dresses - adding layers with jackets scarves, and of course leggings or tights! I like the contrast of black tights and leggings with the tan leather.


Tan Knee High Boots With Red Outfits


3 ways to wear tan knee high boots with red outfits awayfromtheblue
One colour combination you might have noticed a lot with these boots is red! I really like the neutral tan shade against red pieces in an outfit, as you can see in each of these 3 pics with the red tee, dress and jacket and scarf.


Tan Knee High Boots With Other Shades of Brown


5 outfit ideas tan knee high boots with brown pieces in outfits awayfromblue
I do like a bit of matchy-matchy - but I don't have anything else that matches this tan shade exactly. I think that other brown shades, from the lighter beige of the trench to the darker chocolate of that tee in the middle, work nicely with the neutral tan. I really like wearing other brown pies in my wardrobe with these boots, even if they aren't the same shade.


Tan Knee High Boots With Burgundy Outfits


4 burgundy outfit ideas with tan knee high boots awayfromblue
As much as I like red with these tan boots, I really lover burgundy even more! Even if it's just a small hint of burgundy like a scarf, or something larger like the jeans or dress, burgundy looks great paired with tan.

Printed Dresses and Prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC Bag

Sharing two navy dresses and ankle boots outfits I wore back in May, accessorised with this adorable prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC that I got for Mother's Day.


What I wore:

Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress with ankle boots and prune MAC crossbody bag | awayfromtheblue

Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain Jaase autumn leaves dress | awayfromblue


Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain


Why I wore it:

Wore this to spend Mother's Day down the coast with my family. It was such a fun day and thankfully the middle of the day was rain free so we got to spend a little time outdoors too. I had to wear this new Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag that the boys got me for Mother's Day - I couldn't believe it when I found this discontinued style on eBay, brand new with tags! Convinced hubby I needed it for Mother's Day 😂 The little pom pom tassel charm on it is a cute keyring that the kids got me from the Mother's Day shopping stall at school too.

Although the bag doesn't match the print in this dress I thought it complimented the oranges and reds in the autumn leaf print nicely. And the tan ankle boots were a perfect bit of matchy-matchy with the dress print!

DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus old beaded black bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain


Why I wore it:

This was a much quieter weekend day, but again I went with a navy printed dress and the prune MAC for a pop of colour. As it was a very cold and wet day I added this leopard print scarf too. I like wearing leopard print scarves with this navy striped shift dress, it's a fun way to introduce a little print mixing. With the neutral colours in the scarf and the navy and black stripes on the dress and black ankle boots, this was a very muted outfit. Again the Rebecca Minkoff MAC was the perfect accessory to brighten up my outfit.

Had some books due back at the library and more to pick up - sadly no opportunity for the park or playground as it was such a wet day, but the kids are never bored at the library and we brought home lots of books to read through the wet weekend!


Last worn: navy striped shift dress, black beaded bracelets, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above). First time I've worn the leopard print scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

How You Can Wear It:

A colourful crossbody bag like this Rebecca Minkoff MAC is a fun pop against a navy dress. Even if your navy dress has a more colourful print on it like in the first outfit, a bright bag can still work with your outfit - it doesn't have to match!

Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots and Chloe Marcie | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some recent autumn outfits with printed summer dresses with ankle boots and my newest handbag purchase, the Chloe Marcie bag. Although the boots are tan and the bag is brown I think they are far enough apart that these outfits work.


What I wore:

blue printed dress in autumn with tan ankle boots chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

blue printed dress, Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromtheblue



Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut (new purchase)


Why I wore it:

A slightly cooler autumn day meant being able to get out my ankle boots! It was a very warm start to autumn, and it's still quite warm during the day, but it is starting to get a little more autumnal around here! I thought with the tan ankle boots and the brown Chloe Marcie bag this was a great way to autumn-ise this little summer dress. While it's light, the longer sleeves helped keep me warm.

Our plan was to go to the library to stock up on books for the upcoming long weekend and spend some time at the playground, but our time was cut a little short with the rain! It worked out though as we had someone coming round to the house to do a quote for some work that afternoon, and they were available earlier than expected. We were home earlier than expected with the rain too so they were able to come over!

DressAtmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I probably should have added a denim jacket to this, as it was a little chilly that morning! I was glad I had a few errands to run at the local shopping centre after dropping the kids off at school so I could be indoors. Thankfully it really warmed up later in the day so I wasn't cold at school pickup!

This dress was such an easy instant outfit for such a busy day, as after I did some errands in the morning, I was working from home, had another errand to do in the afternoon, and then of course school pick up. One of those very busy days!

I really liked the neutral Chloe Marcie with this floral print tee dress. It's got so many colours in the print I often reach for natural accessories to wear with this dress.


Last worn: floral tee dress, tan ankle boots (above), Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

Layering Dresses For A Wet Summer

Layering up two dresses a little for some wetter than normal summer days last month, earlier in December. 


What I wore:

white denim jacket blue and pink tiered printed sundress with tan ankle boots pink crossbody bag | awayfromtheblue

blue and pink printed sundress with Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig  | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram | white denim jacket with blue pink tiered sundress ankle boots wet summer day outfit
 
JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

Had to break out the ankle boots as this day was so wet! A little frustrated I didn't get a great pic of this outfit as it was pouring with rain. But I loved the outfit and the ankle boots were a very practical choice!

We had an important appointment for my son in the morning and then I decided to stop at our favourite opshop before I got home too. Regretted my decision to go to the opshop though as the rain got really heavy as I was driving and I ended up leaving the shop empty handed as nothing caught my eye. Luckily the rain had changed to a steady drizzle by the time I left though instead of the crazy downpour that happened while I was driving!

Did love my outfit though, this white denim jacket was a great topper with the blue floral tiered sundress and kept me warm despite all the rain. Although the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag is a different shade of pink from the pastel on the floral print of the dress but I still thought it was a good combination. Just like the lilac necklace that didn't match the dress but was a nice third colour also.





What I wore:

chambray dress with green white floral duster kimono adidas superstar sneakers, rebecca minkoff love too bag | awayfromblue

green floral duster, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
JacketJeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace 
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Thankfully I didn't have to drive around in really heavy rain on this day! Although it did rain it wasn't as bad as the day above. Still felt the need to layer up my sleeveless dress a little though to combat the chill when it rained, and this green floral duster was the perfect topper to keep my shoulders and arms warm.

This Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag is such a nice shade of teal and I really like wearing it with green, it works well with the duster. And of course it looks good with the chambray dress too that's the perfect neutral.

Added the navy tassel earrings to dress up my outfit a little, even though I was just a regular day with the school run, sports for the little one then sports for both boys again in the evening. 


Last worn: green floral duster, navy tassel earrings, diamond necklace, chambray dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag

Other ways to weargreen floral duster and jeans, chambray dress and magenta bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and pink dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and pencil skirt

Perfect for pregnancychambray dress in second trimester


How You Can Wear It:

Denim jackets and duster kimonos are easy, light layers to add to a planned dress outfit when a wet and wild summer makes things a littler cooler than you expected.
