Jeans, Tees and Blue Balenciaga Bags

Some simple jeans and tee outfits I wore recently, that I added some colourful necklaces and blue Balenciaga bags too.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

This grey tunic tee with the black coated jeans is a combination I've worn before, but this time around I tucked the tunic in and added some more colourful accessories. Last time I wore the two together, it was a more neutral outfit. But I added the printed cover up for a little extra colour and interest, and then the coral necklace as I felt it matched the colours in the print nicely.

I kept the shoes neutral with the black Converse, good for running around a little as I had the school run as well as working from home. Did add more colour with the turquoise blue Balenciaga first bag though, I really like how it pops against neutrals like the jeans and tee.



Last worn: printed cover up, coral necklace, grey tunic, coated jeans, Converse, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and skirt, grey tunic and shorts, coated jeans and knit, Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and band tee.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Another blue Balenciaga bag! I picked my Balenciaga day as I hadn't worn it in a while and I needed a big bag to fit a book and some water bottles as I accompanied my son to a birthday party at an indoor play area. It was loud so I was intending on hiding in a corner and reading my book, but one of my friends was there with her child who was also attending so I chatted with her instead.

Kept it simple again with a jeans and tee outfit, although I changed it up a little with the peplum tee and the colourful pink jeans. Both the peplum top and jeans are opshop finds, as is the layered tassel necklace I added for a little more colour.


Last worn: peplum tee, tassel necklace, pink jeans, braided sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: peplum tee and shorts, pink jeans and knit, braided sandals and dress, Balenciaga tempete day bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

Green and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Two jeans and tee outfits I wore recently, both with green and black and accessorised with my little MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag that's become a staple lately.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Earring: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a cold weekend morning at the local markets, selling a few more things from my wardrobe. I picked this thick black cardigan to wear as well as the big navy heart print blanket scarf so I'd be cosy as it was quite windy. Sadly not a lot of people at the markets because of the cold weather, but made a few sales and covered the cost of the stall which is always good.

I was nice and warm and comfortable too, although I did end up taking the big scarf off when I ran a couple of errands after the markets as it had warmed up nicely.

Last worn: black belted cardigan, green tee, statement earrings, Stella McCartney heart print scarf, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear:  black belted cardigan and dress, green tee and skirt, Stella McCartney heart print scarf and stripes, coated denim jeans and jumper, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black belted cardigan and hidden baby bump, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Even though this outfit has green and black like the outfit above, this felt much more colourful with the brighter green jeans. Surprisingly I haven't worn these jeans with the black and white knitted poncho before which is a surprise as every colour goes with black and white! Added the grey tee to balance out the bright jeans, and also as it was a good backdrop to show off this recently thrifted necklace. Didn't need a scarf for this as I was able to wrap myself up in this knit to stay warm - it really is like a big blanket!

Perfect outfit for working from home, the school run, and a quick errand after school pick up.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana, grey tunic tee, green jeans, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana and white jeans, grey tunic tee and sequins, green jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and leopard print.

Coated Skinny Jeans, Converse and Winter Knits

I picked up these coated denim jeans at the opshop last month to give them a try. And despite worrying at first they looked too much like leggings, I've realised how fun they war to wear! Not sure how they will go in the warmer weather, but for cold winter days they have kept me nice and warm, especially paired with cosy knits like in these outfits.

What I wore:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Jumper: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

The first time I wore these jeans I worried they looked too like leggings so I paired them with a long tunic tee. This time around I wore this cosy knit to keep me warm, and tucked it in to the waist to show off the jean zipper details and pockets a little better. I really liked the rich wine colour of the knit with the neutral taupe skull scarf too, and with the black coated jeans and black Converse I felt like adding a little extra colour with this fun hand painted bag.

I really liked this outfit - with the ribbed texture of the knit and the coated denim textures together it looked lovely. Perfect for the school run, a quick visit to a friend, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: wine jumper, taupe skull scarf, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: wine jumper and skirt, taupe skull scarf and skirt, coated denim jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

It was the perfect weather for this cosy knitted poncho on this day! I again wore my coated denim jeans, just like in the first outfit, I like the coated denim and the added texture of a chunky knit on top. With the black and white knit and the black jeans and again the black Converse, then the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag though, this outfit definitely need a little extra colour! It was the perfect excuse to wear the purple tee mum bought for me on our last shopping trip. I love the colour, it is a really rich purple that pops against all of the black.

Really liked wrapping myself up in this cosy knit for the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon.
