Animal Print and Blazer Office Outfits With Pink

Two different pink and animal print outfits for the office, worn with blazers to dress them up a little.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

This was a really good day at work! A colleague from another office was visiting and it was lovely to see them again.

I only had a few meetings so went with a jeans and blazer outfit, with this cheetah print cami. I like wearing printed tops with this blush pink blazer, it's always a good combination. I added a little more pink with the pink Converse, although they don't match the shade of pink in the blazer I like the two shades together with all the neutrals in the outfit. The brown Chloe Paddington I've been wearing a lot lately, and I thought matched nicely with the brown in the print of the tank. While the hardware and padlock on the Paddington bag is gold I thought that the silver accessories would be nice with this. The hammered silver statement necklace and silver circle earrings are such a nice pairing together. Both are opshop finds.


Last worn: blush blazer, silver circle earrings, silver statement necklace, cheetah print cami, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, Chloe Paddington in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This is a very different looking outfit from the one above, but it follows the same basic formula with a blazer, some animal print, and a touch of pink. this time around it was a lot of leopard print, with this beautiful maxi skirt, which was an opshop find. The grey tee was a good neutral with the bold print, and then the black blazer from my sister's wardrobe was a nice topper. Even with the gold accessories, the statement earrings and the faux pearl necklace, this outfit felt like it needed a little more. The pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was just the right way to add a little more colour, and I liked the matchy-matchy with the gold accessories and the gold hardware on the mini5-zip bag.

I wore my converse again - I pretty much live in sneakers now! With the brown ones to match the brown in the leopard print of the skirt. Another easy office outfit.


Last worn: black blazer, gold earrings, faux pearl necklace, grey tee, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and dress, grey tee and denim, leopard print maxi skirt with red, brown Converse and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and denim skirt.

Green Camis and Bright Blazers With Converse

Two green toned camis for office days, with bright blazers over the top to add even more colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like blue and green together, but this is the first time I've worn this mint cami with the bright cobalt blazer. It was such a fun combination! I picked the grey pencil skirt to wear as I haven't worn it for a while. It used to be an office staple before 2020, but things are a lot more casual and relaxed in the office now, and so I was debating if I even still needed it in my wardrobe or if it's too corporate. I'm so glad that I gave it another wear, pleased that it fit, and it can come back into my office rotation, it's such a good basic!

Paired with casual Converse because they are my go-to shoe lately, along with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. While it's been worn more recently than the pencil skirt, it was still overdue a wear. Like the skirt, the bag also needs to be worn more often!


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mint cami, gold circle necklace, clay earrings, grey pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, mint cami and shorts, grey pencil skirt in winter, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: pencil skirt in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a much cooler and wetter day than the day above, so it called for jeans! I love dressing up jeans with a blazer in the office. And with the black jeans and the light olive cami it was a bit of a neutral outfit, especially with the brown Converse and the pale Chloe Ethel bag. I think the bright orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with this outfit!

The blazer dressed up the jeans, covered up the spaghetti straps of the cami and kept me warm on the cold and wet commute.

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

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

Pink and Grey Skirt Outfits With Thrifted Camis

Wearing some of my recent opshop finds with old favourites for these autumn skirt outfits. Both feature grey and pink, and an extra layer over the top to combat the autumn chill.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

These hammered silver circle earrings have been getting a bit of wear since I thrifted them! Just like last time I wore them when I went matchy-matchy, I tried it again picking this silver circle necklace to wear. I really liked the earrings and necklace together! And another wearing of this terrazzo print tank that I thrifted at the same time, and recently wore to the office.

For this casual outfit I wore it with a distressed grey Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse and then my pink cover up, to compliment the pastel pink in the terrazzo print. Although it's not an exact match I liked the extra shades of pink with this, and added the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little more colour.

There was a bit of driving around on this day, although I was working from home, as we started the morning picking up a dog we were dogsitting, then I had to drop the kids off at vacation care before heading home for working from home, before collecting the kids in the afternoon. Busy day!

Last worn: pink cover up, silver circle earrings, silver circle necklace, terrazzo print tank, Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink cover up and dress, terrazzo print tank and blazer, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, pink Converse and maxi skirt, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami (new purchase)
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Cotton On silver beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Finally got to wear this long grey cocoon cardigan I got from our annual pre-Christmas opshopping trip. I was so excited to get it, and it's been a while before it was finally cool enough to give it a wear. I love a cocoon style cardigan and I like the longer length on this one too. I wore it with the new Converse mum bought me recently. They had a sale on so I ended up with two new pairs! With the brown in the leopard print skirt the Converse were a nice match, and I took the opportunity to wear this newly thrifted pale olive cami for the first time. 

I felt with the grey cardigan keeping me cosy, and the neutral browns and olive of the top and skirt and shoes, this outfit needed a little more interest. The statement multi chain necklace wasn't enough so I added a pink bag, my Balenciaga sorbet city bag that was overdue another wear. I like how it brightened up this outfit. It was perfect for another day of working from home, with drop off and pickup for the kids at vacation care.


Last worn: silver circle earrings (above), necklace, leopard print skirt, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag. First time I've worn the cardigan as it was a Christmas present, Converse as they were a recent gift, and the olive cami as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and denim jacket, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag in second trimester.

Leopard Print Cocoon Cardigan With Black Denim

Two autumn outfits, both with black denim, colourful tops, and this cosy leopard print cocoon cardigan I recently thrifted.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Couldn't believe my luck when I saw this leopard print cardigan at my favourite opshop! At just $1 it was a good replacement for the leopard print cardi I had a couple of winters ago and decided wasn't perfect for me, so donated back. This one I really like. I'm a sucker for a cocoon shaped cardigan, and with the black and white leopard print it looks great with everything. Wore it for a cooler autumn morning, although I did end up taking the cardigan off by the time we got to church as the sun came out and the day warmed up nicely.

The rose gold necklace is an opshop find too, from the same trip I got this cute knit on. The black skinny jeans are an old opshop find and while the purple tee and pink Converse were purchased new, the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag was a preloved find as well.


Last worn: purple tee, rose gold necklace, black skinny jeans, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag. First time I've worn the pink Converse as they were a recent gift from mum, and first time I've worn the cardigan as it was a recent opshop buy.
 
Other ways to wear: purple tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and trench coat, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit to the one above with this leopard print cardigan. This time around I picked a plain pink cami, and a black denim pencil skirt. The cardigan was a great option to cover up the spaghetti straps on the cami when on video calls as I worked from home. It was warmer later in the day when I finished working and we stopped by the library, but I kept the cardigan on as I wasn't too hot in this denim skirt. Didn't need to carry much, so went with my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag which matched the cardigan, necklace and denim skirt nicely.

I liked the simplicity of this outfit and I see myself wearing this leopard print cocoon cardigan a lot more as the weather keeps cooling off here in Brisbane. Such a good opshop find.


Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan (above), black necklace, terracotta pink cami, black denim skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the Havaianas as they are a recent purchase.

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

Camis and Midi Skirts With Mimco Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple midi skirt and cami outfits, with my Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag, for office days recently. I would usually cover up a spaghetti strap cami with a blazer for in the office, but these were such hot and humid summer days I didn't add a layer for the commute. I always have a cardigan at my desk at work though, that I used on both these days to cover up my shoulders when working.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold stud ball earrings
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Cami: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This pretty brown floral print midi skirt looks so good with the plain mint cami! I liked the colour pairing together, and then I went a little more matchy-matchy, with the white Converse, and the wooden accessories matching the brown and white on the skirt. Even though the wooden necklace and wooden beaded bracelets are different shades I liked them together with this skirt. 

I added the teal Mimco cocoon bag, although it is completely different from the pale green of the cami I thought it was a nice accessory and I have been reaching for it a lot lately. Was a great outfit for a busy office day, and I appreciated the tiered maxi skirt and spaghetti strap cami keeping me cool when I was outdoors in the humidity on the way too and from the office. Great first wear for this pretty skirt I got for Christmas as well.


Last worn: wooden necklace, wooden bracelet set, mint cami, floral midi skirt, white Converse, Mimco teal cocoon bag. 

Other ways to wear: mint cami and shorts, midi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Top: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Another cami and skirt combination, this time with a printed cami and a linen button up midi skirt. Last time I tried this midi skirt with a printed top I wasn't too sure about the resulting outfit, but I really liked this one! This cheetah print cami, like most animal print, really goes with everything! I added a little more blue to this with the blue Converse and navy beaded necklace. Although unlike the accessories in the first outfit they don't really match, I like wearing different shades of blues with this skirt.

And again I wore my teal Mimco cocoon bag, it's just such a great crossbody bag for all my essentials as I carry my laptop in a work-issued laptop bag.


Last worn: cheetah print cami, navy beaded necklace, blue linen midi skirt, blue Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: cheetah print cami and shorts, blue linen midi skirt with green, blue Converse and dress, teal Mimco cocoon bag and shorts.

Orange and Blue Maxi Skirt and Denim Jacket Outfits

I really like orange and blue together, and recently ended up wearing the combination in both of these maxi skirt outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wanted something colourful and comfortable to wear for a busy day. While I was working from home this maxi skirt was comfortable, but with the blue tee also made for a very colourful outfit to ensure that my son could spot me in the crowd in the afternoon as he got an award at school.

With the blue and orange together, I wasn't sure what bag to wear and I thought I'd give this wine purple Chloe Paraty bag a try. I really liked the combination and I'll need to wear this bag with orange again in future!


Last worn: denim jacket, hammered circle necklace, blue tee, orange maxi skirt, Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, blue tee and pink, orange maxi skirt and stripes, Converse and jeans, Chloe purple Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Cami: New Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This maxi skirt was maybe not the best choice for a cooler day - I forgot how tall the slit was and the slight breeze made me a little chilled! This maxi skirt is really better for warmer days. It worked okay for a weekend day with a couple of errands and puppy training class for our recently adopted pup though, as I was mostly indoors thankfully. 

Just like the outfit above, I really liked the bright orange with this lighter blue tie dye skirt. I definitely needed the denim jacket to cover up the spaghetti strap cami, and I thought the neutral white helped tone down the brightness of the orange. Along with the neutral accessories I chose as well, the pale necklace and the white converse and black Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I've worn this bag with the maxi skirt before and liked the combination then too.

Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, orange cami, tie dye maxi skirt, Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and dress, orange cami and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella and blazer.

Midi Skirts and Blazers

Dressing up my midi skirts for cooler autumn days and making them look a little more formal for work, just by adding a comfortable jersey blazer. While both these skirts and resulting outfits feel different, I really liked them both!

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Cami: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a busy but fun day at work - we had a big team lunch to attend, so while it was cooler on the commute I knew we would be enjoying the sun outside at lunchtime at an outdoor restaurant. This outfit was perfect, I didn't feel too cold, although I did end up keeping my blazer on both at lunch and at my desk. I really liked the navy blazer with the green broderie midi skirt, and the lighter blues of the turquoise tassel necklace, chambray cami and sky grey Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.

With the navy blazer and the turquoise tassel earrings, this navy circle and tassel necklace seemed like a fun bit of matchy-matchy, even if the silver hardware was different from the gold on the mini MAC bag, it tied in with the res of my outfit well and I'm never one to shy away from mixing metals!


Last worn: navy blazer, turquoise tassel earrings, navy tassel necklace, chambray cami, broderie midi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and dress, chambray cami and jeans, broderie midi skirt in festive outfit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with orange.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

While this outfit didn't feel as coordinated as the one above, I still loved it! I was so pleased to show off to my stylish colleague that both my Stella McCartney Falabella bag and my leopard print skirt were from the opshop when she complimented them. Sadly she was only in Brisbane for a few days and didn't have time to shop, maybe next time she visits!

I'd planned to wear this grey blazer with the fun leopard print skirt and blue tank, but couldn't decide on a necklace that morning. In the end I went with this orange one for a pop of colour. With the neutral navy tank, grey blazer, black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and black Converse, I think an extra pop of colour was needed with this outfit, even though the skirt makes a statement on its own.

Last worn: grey jersey blazer, orange necklace, navy tank, leopard print midi skirt, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and jeans, navy tank and red, leopard print midi skirt and orange, black Converse and pencil skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Orange and Animal Print Cami and Maxi Skirt Outfits

I've been wearing a lot of tees lately, so I got a couple of my pretty camis out to change it up a little. Paired both with maxi skirts for these orange and leopard print outfits, accessorised with my Chloe Ethel bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Cami: New Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Went down the coast to spend some time at my parents, and then shopping at Costco with my mum and sister. It was the first time I've been there! We bought a lot, and the kids were delighted by all the different sample stations they got to eat at!

While a leopard print midi skirt seems like it would be a loud statement piece, this skirt never seems too "in-your-face" for me so I had fun pairing it with this bright orange cami and the statement beaded necklace and beaded bracelet stack. I did add some neutrals with the white Converse and the small Chloe Ethel bag, but leopard is pretty much a neutral on its own now!

Really enjoyed this outfit, it was fun shopping and getting lunch with the family.


Last worn: orange cami, beaded statement necklace, wooden bracelet stack, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange cami and jeans, leopard print maxi skirt and red tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I really liked the outfit above, so I flipped it around a little but followed the same outfit formula for this. Animal print cami this time and an orange maxi skirt. I keep calling this a leopard print cami even though it's clearly cheetah print. It was the perfect printed piece with this block colour rust maxi skirt. Again I wore my Chloe Ethel bag - the 'light khaki' colour is a very light one and I treat it as a neutral.

With the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag and the bold combination of animal print and leopard, I kept the rest of my accessories simple with the tan slides and gold necklace and earrings.

Wore this out to an event at the library. I did feel a bit overdressed in this though, and didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first outfit. I think it seemed a little more dressed up than a plain tee and maxi skirt outfit. I did like it, just maybe should have worn it for a different day.

Last worn: gold heart earrings, gold circle necklace, animal print cami, rust maxi skirt, tan slides, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: animal print cami and denim, rust maxi skirt in winter, tan slides and dress, Chloe small Ethel bag and jeans.
