Two Ways To Wear Blue Leaf Print Maxi Wrap Skirt

I recently picked up this beautiful blue leaf print warp skirt at the opshop, for just $1! While it's winter in Brisbane I was eager to wear it as soon as possible. I set myself a goal of wearing everything I wear twice in the month I buy it, and luckily I was able to layer up this skirt to wear it twice this winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: thrifted Country Road grey crew neck tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This grey tee is also an opshop find! I knew with this colourful printed wrap skirt a plain grey tee would make a great neutral pairing with it. I added the cobalt leather jacket for extra warmth for the school run, especially in the morning. I really liked this first wear of this skirt, it is definitely something better suited for warmer weather though!

With the blue Converse and blue necklace, blue leather jacket and blue printed wrap skirt this outfit really needed another colour so I added the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for that. I like purple and blue together, and as I didn't have to carry much this was a good bag choice to hold the essentials.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, stud earrings, blue necklace, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac. First time I've worn the wrap skirt and the grey tee as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket worn 30 ways, blue Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: handmade pink and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I layered up this skirt a little more the next time I wore it, with this cosy berry seam detail knit. The jumper is also another recent wardrobe addition, although one I bought new from the store. While I liked the lilac Polene Numero Neuf bag with the first outfit, I liked the brighter pinks with this blue skirt too! I added lots of shades of pink, with the berry pink of the knit, pastel and bright pink in my handmade beaded necklace, and bolder pink in the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. To make sure I kept warm I added the leather jacket, and then these Acne Pistol boots that have been sitting in my wardrobe for far too long and were definitely overdue another wear. It was a great outfit for church, although I did shed the denim jacket when the sun came out later in the morning and it warmed up.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement earrings, berry seam detail knit, Acne pistol boots, blue wrap skirt (above), pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, berry seam detail knit worn 2 ways, Acne pistol boots and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester

Two Ways To Wear Kmart Berry Pink Seam Detail Knit Jumper

This Kmart berry seam detail knit jumper is the only new (not pre-loved) piece I bought last month. I saw it on sale in store near the checkouts and couldn't resist picking it up. I'm such an impulse shopper sometimes! I've enjoyed wearing it so far, it's nice and cosy for Brisbane's winter days.

In both of these outfits, I've worn the pink jumper to the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
Knit: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This leather moto jacket was an amazing preloved find at the fashion markets a while back and I love it in winter, it's got really spacious sleeves so it's easy to layer a knit jumper like this underneath it.

With the cosy jumper on top and the leather jacket, I decided to wear this pretty maxi skirt. It is light and one I wear in summer as well, but with the cosy top layers I wasn't too cold in the early morning commute to work. I wore pink Converse although the shades of pink are different from the knit, I thought a little extra colour was needed with all the black.

I wore the Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC for a touch more colour as well, I liked how well it matched this new beaded necklace I made.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, silver hoop earrings, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it, and knit as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and dress, black maxi skirt and blazer, pink Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

For another office day, I again wore this berry pink seam detail jumper with a skirt. A pencil skirt this time, and I went with purple accessories. I really like pink and purple together. Although the purple resin floral statement earrings and the plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote are different shades of purple, I thought they were far enough apart that they worked well together in this outfit with the pink jumper.

I wore this navy suede jacket to match the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt, and of course I needed some fleece lined tights for the cold commute, even with ankle boots I needed my legs covered up! Just like above, I really liked this outfit, it was another good way to wear this berry jumper.


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, purple resin flower earrings, berry seam detail knit jumper (above), navy jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and dress, navy jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

Printed Dresses, Leather Jackets and Pink Bags

Layering up these Kmart printed dresses for winter office days recently, with leggings, boots, and leather jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I am pleased I could get a photo of this outfit in daylight (I was working from a different office a shorter commute away so I wasn't out the door before sunrise!). I really like pink and purple with this navy and white striped dress, it's something I've worn with a few times before. And leopard print and stripes will always be a print mix I enjoy wearing too. The purple leopard print scarf kept me cosy both in the cooler morning commute and in the office - the aircon there is always super cold!

I liked this dress with the leggings and tall boots too, although it warmed up enough in the afternoon for school pick up that the leather jacket wasn't really needed.


Last worn: gum leaf earrings, leather jacket, purple leopard scarf, navy stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and skirt, purple leopard scarf and jeans, navy stripe dress and denim jacket, tan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple leopard scarf in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Another pink Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag with a printed dress, leather jacket, leggings and boots. I liked this little pink mini 5-zip bag in this outfit, although it's a different shade from the pink in the floral wisteria print of the dress I think it compliments the pinks and blues nicely. I added another shade of pink with the statement dangly earrings too.

The cobalt leather jacket is a different shade of blue from the pastel blue of the dress as well, but I really liked the pop of colour it adds to this outfit. It's a really fun piece to wear in winter.

Didn't wear a scarf with this, although I did knot up the neckline of the dress for a little extra warmth in the colder morning.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, cobalt leather jacket, Kmart black floral print midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: blue leather jacket worn 30 ways, Kmart black floral print midi dress and trench coat, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Floral Dresses In Winter With Leggings

I have so many cute floral dresses, and I try to wear them year-round. One recent weekend, I wore these two floral dresses with leggings and jackets to make them suitable for our winter weather.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Dress: thrifted Iris Maxi the Label purple floral tiered mini dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a very fun day! We had a kid's birthday party in the morning, and then a friend came over for a playdate in the afternoon, so the boys were very entertained.

I did not expect for the parents to get involved in the kids party though - at one point there was kids vs adults dodgeball and perhaps the boots were not the best choice of footwear. I ended up just taking the boots off and running around in my socks!

I did like the boots and leggings with this purple floral dress though, a recent opshop find that I'm looking forward to wearing with less layers when it warms up. With the turquoise in the bottom hem I was inspired to add a lot of blue to this, with the mid wash denim jacket, blue crystal earrings, and periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag.


Last worn: denim jacket, crystal earrings, purple floral tiered mini dress, tall tan boots, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, purple floral tiered mini dress and trench, tall tan boots and blazer, Chloe Paraty bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I knew I would be doing a lot of walking on this day so I still layered up this Jaase floral dress with leggings, but wore Converse instead of boots. Spent the day with my parents and sister, she's doing some renovations at the moment so we helped review a few tile choices and then all went out for lunch. It was a really nice day. It was a chilly morning so I layered up with this leather jacket, but with the long sleeves on this Jaase dress I didn't really feel I needed the jacket in the heat of the day.

It's the first time I've worn this dress with the provided belt since I got it! I liked the look, it's nice to have different ways to wear it. I feel the peachy floral print really pops with all the black, from the Converse, leggings, leather jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: gold glitter circle earrings, Jeanswest leather jacket, Jaase Semika floral dress, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and maxi skirt, Jaase Semika floral dress and denim trench, Converse and jeans, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Floral Dresses, Denim Jackets and Balenciaga Bags

Wearing some floral dresses, layered up for Brisbane's current winter weather with denim jackets, leggings, and ankle boots. Adding more colour to the outfits with some Balenciaga bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, I wanted something comfortable and warm but also colourful for watching my son compete in the afternoon. With the pink in the floral print of this Jaase Semika mini dress, I added the pink tassel earrings and then more pink with the sorbet Balenciaga city bag. I needed a big bag for fitting my camera inside as well as a book and all my usual essentials. While the pink on the sorbet Balenciaga city bag and the pastel pink tassels on the earrings don't match and don't match the pink in the floral print of the dress, I liked all the shades of pink with this. We were indoors most of the afternoon so the denim jacket was the only layer I needed.

Last worn: pink tassel earrings, denim jacket, Jaase Semika floral mini dress, tan ankle boots, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Jaase Semika floral mini dress and trench coat, tan ankle boots and midi dress, sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag at 37 weeks.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: thrifted Iris Maxi the Label purple floral tiered mini dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a calmer day! Again I wanted to try wearing a summer floral dress in winter - this one is a recent opshop find! I couldn't pass it up for just $1 at the opshop, although I did worry a few times during this day that it was a little short. I chose to wear the long denim trench coat made me feel a little more confident that the dress wasn't too short, as the long trench covers everything. I ended up really liking this outfit.

I went all matchy-matchy with the purple flower earrings and purple Balenciaga work bag. I liked the statement earrings for video calls as I worked from home, and the large Balenciaga work bag was perfect for all the essentials and still had a lot of space for my current book so I could read in the afternoon as the kids had a dentist appointment.

Last worn: denim trench coat, floral statement earrings, black ankle boots, purple Balenciaga work bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and jeans, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, purple Balenciaga work bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Tiered Denim Dresses With Pink Scarves And Bags

Sticking with easily repeatable outfit formulas again, pairing my two tiered denim dresses with pink scarves and Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I really loved this outfit! It was perfect for winter as although my knees were bare the tall boots kept my legs warm, and with a slip under the denim dress and the pink striped scarf I was nice and cosy. The berry pink of the Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag doesn't match the colours in the scarf exactly, but I liked the two accessories together against the pale denim dress. Really need to wear this dress more, before it heats up too much for it!

This was a nice easy and colourful outfit for the school run and working from home.


Last worn: striped scarf, Target denim dress, knee high boots, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC.

Other ways to wear: striped scarf and skirt, Target denim dress with red, knee high boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this denim tiered maxi dress my mum picked up for me when we were shopping at Kmart recently. It's a really thick and cosy denim, so I went bare armed for a morning in the sun taking part in a citizen science event with the kids. It warmed up quite a lot, after the fog of the morning lifted and I was considering removing the scarf. It was nice to have on in the air-conditioning in the afternoon though when we went to a kids birthday party.

I really like the ombre pink scarf with the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I redyed, even though just like in the outfit above the pink in the scarf and bag don't match exactly.

With the long line of this denim maxi dress I thought I'd try just a simple crossover scarf and leave it long and loose - something a little different but I liked the long line the scarf created with this dress.


Last worn: pink ombre scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent wardrobe addition.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre scarf and jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag with black and white outfit.

Layering Summer Pieces In Winter Outfits

I thrifted a few summer pieces at the opshop in July, back before the cold winter weather really hit in Brisbane. I was so eager to wear my new finds that I tried layering them up for winter on working from home days despite the colder temperatures.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I love the colour of this maxi skirt! It was new with tags so definitely worth the $7 I paid for the $89.99 RRP! It was marked as 'Sahara Red' but it's the perfect bold mix of red and orange and I'm excited to wear it again when the weather is warmer. I layered it up with a bright cobalt leather jacket for warmth, and then this also thrifted grey tunic tee for a nice neutral. I skipped the scarf as I felt warm enough with the jacket and long maxi skirt. I was working from home, with a little break for the school run and taking the pups to the vet.

Will definitely have to try this skirt with more blue again next time I wear it, I loved how the leather jacket popped against the bright skirt.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, grey tunic tee, terrazzo necklace, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the maxi skirt as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, grey tunic tee and denim, white Converse and jeans, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and blazer.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Dress: thrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, I didn't enjoy this one as much. It looks nice, just wasn't very practical! This thin sundress needed a slip underneath, as well as fleece lined leggings, tall boots, my suede moto jacket and the big cobalt blanket scarf to make it cosy enough for the morning school run. It was certainly comfortable enough for working from home after too, before the school pick up in the afternoon.

However despite having the slip underneath it kept clinging to the leggings and riding up and I had to keep pulling it down, so frustrating to wear. I know I will enjoy this dress so much more when I can wear it with bare legs when it heats up again. Just not a good piece to try winterising. The much needed suede jacket also covered up the fun statement bell sleeves of the dress, so this will remain a firm warm weather only piece in my wardrobe!


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, cobalt scarf, tall leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC. First time I've worn the dress as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and printed jeans, cobalt scarf and grey dress, tan boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Floral Dresses, Trench Coats And Purple Small Paraty Bag

Felt like I'd been wearing a lot of jeans this winter, so changed it up a little and layered these Kmart floral midi dresses with trench coats and tall boots for days in the office recently. Despite the different colours in the dresses, I wore my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with both.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Surprisingly the first time I've worn this teal dress with the purple Chloe Paraty bag before! I was sure this wasn't a new combination and one that I'd worn before, but a quick search through the blog proved otherwise.

I really liked the teal floral print with the purple bag, especially with the tall tan boots and the navy trench coat adding some neutrals.

Had a busy day with some time in the office then an appointment for my son after school pick up.


Last worn: navy trench, Tiffany necklace, teal floral midi dress, tan boots, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy trench and jeans, teal floral midi dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Decided to tie the neckline on this pretty floral midi dress up, which meant I accessorised with some statement earrings as the bow at the neck didn't really need a necklace. I liked how the turquoise in the earrings is a close match to the blue in the print of the dress. 

The tan trench coat and again the tall boots were definitely needed on this colder morning. It was an early start for a big day in the office, so a lack of sunlight for the photos sadly, hard to see how cute this dress looks belted!


Last worn: camel trench, statement earrings, black floral midi dress, tan boots (above), Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: camel trench worn 30 ways, black floral midi dress and floral bag, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench coat in first trimester.

Stripe Dresses With Matching Scarves and Bags

With the cold winter weather in Brisbane lately (it's dropped down to 9 or 7 degrees Celsius some mornings!) I've gotten wear from some more winter pieces with these trench coats that are great for cold morning commutes. Wore them with some striped dresses as I felt I was wearing a lot of jeans and needed something a bit different.

With these neutral outfits I added colourful bags and coordinating scarves to brighten them up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this trench coat out again! It's a favourite year after year. It's cosy and lined and perfect for a cold winter morning. I layered a slip under this navy stripe shift dress too, and some cosy fleece lined tights with the ankle boots to keep me warm.

With the dark navy and black stripes and the black tights and boots, I added more colour with the mustard scarf and the yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-zip bag. The scarf and bag aren't an exact match together but I still liked the two yellows against the neutral dress.

While it was a cold morning, it thankfully warmed up at lunch time. I was able to leave my jacket behind when I headed to a nearby restaurant, and still be warm enough. The trench was certainly back on for the afternoon commute home though!


Last worn: camel trench, mustard scarf, gold earrings, navy stripe dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: camel trench worn 30 ways, mustard scarf and LBD, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench in first trimester, navy stripe tee dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl colourful print scarf in green
Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit above so much that I created a very similar one with this other navy striped shift dress I have, this white and navy dress was an opshop find. Again I tried to coordinate my bag and scarf together, with this green mini 5 zip bag and the green shades in the printed scarf. I even added a little yellow into this outfit with the mustard tassel earrings to match the scarf print! Just like the outfit above, the colours in the accessories don't match exactly, but I really liked the combination.

With these tall leather boots and black leggings I was nice and cosy, and actually a bit too warm in the office! The navy trench coat was very much needed on both the commute into the office and home again in the afternoon though, and I was grateful for the warmth of it when we had a couple of errands to run after I picked the kids up from school in the afternoon too.


Last worn: navy Macintosh, mustard tassel earrings, green scarf, white stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, green scarf and grey dress, white stripe dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and shorts.
