Kmart Midi Dresses With Ankle Boots and Rebecca Minkoff Micro Regan Bag

Wearing my Acne Studios Pistol ankle boots again, with two Kmart midi dresses for recent office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko oversized cropped denim trench coat (new purchase)
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

Excited to share this first outfit with this new Kmart oversized cropped denim trench coat I got! I picked it up on clearance in store for just $5. It's so similar to the longline version I have, just a cropped style. it's a thicker denim as well which was perfect for keeping me warm on the cooler commute, especially paired with this teal long sleeved dress.

The floral teal dress is from Kmart as well, despite trying hard not to buy clothing items new I can never resist a browse in the Kmart clearance section. I bought the teal floral midi dress near the end of 2019 and it's already passed 20 wears so definitely getting a good amount of wear from my purchase.

I wore my Acne Pistol boots with this outfit, after getting them resolved recently. And I picked the Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag as it had been a while since I'd worn it. And as my friend pointed out, the tassels match the tassel zipper pulls on the ankle boots nicely! Easy outfit for the office.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, silver heart necklace, teal floral midi dress, Acne Pistol boots, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag. It's the first time I've posted the jacket as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress and trench coat, Acne Pistol boots and mini dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Dress: Kmart Anko short sleeve wrap chambray tiered midi dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This midi dress is another Kmart clearance find! Not sure if it means I stumble across a lot of bargains there or that I just shop there too often...but I'd seen this dress in store a few times and liked it but when I saw it reduced to just $10 I knew I had to have it! The sleeves are short, not down to my elbows, so I needed a warmer layer on top for a colder morning commute and I went with this cosy Witchery leather jacket, it's really thick and warm for colder mornings and afternoons. I did wish I'd worn a scarf with this as it was a particularly cold morning!

Again I wore the little mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag, I like the pop of colour of the mustard yellow against the chambray blue of the dress, and as in the first outfit, the tassel details on the bag match the tassel zipper pulls on the Acne Studio Pistol ankle boots nicely.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, 5 station necklace, Acne Pistol boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag (above). First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and skirt, Acne Pistol boots and shift dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester.

Anko Denim Trench Coat With Black Blouses and Colourful Jeans

Adding a little colour to winter black blouse office outfits with colourful jeans, and combatting the cold winter commute with this Anko oversized denim trench coat.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade yellow and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Blouse: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I wore this as I needed a nice easy outfit for a day full of meetings at my desk. The black blouse is a lovely recent opshop find. It's got a bit of texture and these amazing blouson sleeves. The denim trench unfortunately covers the sleeves up, but the oversized style meant it accommodated the big sleeves nicely. With the black Converse matching the black blouse, and the neutral olive skinny jeans, I wanted to add a little pop of colour to this. This polymer clay necklace I recently made was perfect. I liked the burst of yellow against the black.

The Chloe Periwinkle Paraty bag was another little bit of matching, as it's similar to the blue denim wash on the trench coat.


Last worn: Anko denim trench coat, Seed Heritage black blouse, handmade necklace, olive green jeans, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Anko denim trench coat and dress, Seed Heritage black blouse and skirt, olive green jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and maxi dress.

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit formula above, so repeated it again with another black blouse, this one also an opshop find, and another pair of colourful jeans. I haven't worn these red ones in a while, although they have been worn a lot in the past and I've achieved over 30 wears with them. it was good to get them out again for another office day.

I kept things simple, again matching the black blouse to the black Converse, and again wore the same oversized denim trench coat. I even wore another blue bag this time too, this Rebecca Minkoff deep teal croc embossed Love Too bag.

Striped Dresses, Kmart Denim Trench Coat and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Another two very similar outfits, following the exact same outfit formula. Wearing striped dresses with fleece lined tights, ankle boots, my Kmart Anko oversized denim trench coat and Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for some winter office days back in August.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade purple polymer clay beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Rita stripe jersey dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I last wore this Jeanswest striped fit and flare dress! I felt like it was overdue another wear. While it is sleeveless I layered a long sleeved tee underneath to keep me warm, and with the thick fabric on the dress and the fleece lined tights and ankle boots I was warm enough with this denim trench for the cold commute.

I couldn't resist going a little bit matchy-matchy with the mauve Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, matching the lilac beads in this beaded necklace I made. I got some polymer clay and myself and my son made some beads since I really enjoy wearing this style of necklace. I liked how well the bag and necklace matched together.



Last worn: denim trench coat, striped dress, purple handmade necklace, black ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat, striped dress and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped fit and flare dress in second trimester, ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Target Simone woven scarf in navy foil stars
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This was an even colder winter day than the one above, so instead of wearing a simple necklace this time I added another layer with the scarf. While it doesn't match the bag this time, it does match well with the navy stripes in this thrifted dress. It's a long sleeved dress so perfectly cosy for a winter commute and day in the office, especially when paired again with fleece lined tights, and the same black ankle boots and oversized denim trench coat that I wore in the first outfit.

I think you can see how uninspired I was as winter drew to a close here in Brisbane with the very similar outfits I've been wearing, but I do love taking a classic outfit formula and wearing it multiple times! And I did end up really liking both these outfits.

Last worn: navy star foil scarf, oversized denim trench coat (above), navy stripe dress, black ankle boots (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy star foil scarf and jumper, oversized denim trench coat and jeans, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

Blue Knit Jumpers With Scarves and Black Jeans

Two more knit jumper outfits, with black skinny jeans and scarves. One I wore to work from home, the other I wore in the office.

What I wore:

Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

I wore this to work from home back in the holidays. I logged off in the afternoon to take the kids to a STEM class at the library, they really loved it! It was a colder day so I wanted to be warm, and this blue marle jumper was due another wear. It's a piece I thrifted a few years ago, and I've gotten more than 30 wears out of it, definitely a good opshop buy! 

I wanted to skip wearing a jacket, but still be warm, so I added this leopard print scarf. And the brown Converse were an attempt to be a bit matchy-matchy, even though they are a different shade of brown from the leopard print in the scarf. I added more colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag, and also picked it as it fits all my essentials plus a couple of water bottles, perfect for when we went out in the afternoon.

Last worn: blue marle jumper, leopard print scarf, skinny jeans, brown Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: blue marle jumper worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and tee, skinny jeans and graphic tee, brown Converse and dress, purple Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Jumper: thrifted blue Kmart stitch detail knit
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This blue knit seam detail jumper is also an opshop find, although I haven't hit 30 wears with it! I do enjoy wearing it and just bought a similar one in pink in the Kmart clearance recently. Again I wore it with black jeans, and instead of a printed scarf I wore this bright yellow one. With the blue jumper, blue denim trench coat, and Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, I felt like I needed an extra colour in this outfit to brighten it up a bit. And blue and yellow look so good together.

Even with the jumper and the jeans and the denim trench and scarf it was a bit chilly, one of those really cold winter days. I was glad to reach the office that morning!


Last worn: denim trench, yellow scarf, blue seam detail jumper, Nobody Denim Siren jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench and dress, yellow scarf and LBD, blue seam detail jumper and pink jeans, Nobody Denim Siren jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and skirt.

Black Skinny Jeans, Blouses and Denim Trench Coat

Wearing my Kmart denim trench coat again, with black skinny jeans, blue Converse and blouses for winter office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Top: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
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:

Despite it being a super cold winter day I had an event at work I wanted to dress up for. I caved and went with jeans for warmth, and had a singlet layered under this silky blouse. With the long sleeves it kept me warm and I felt it dressed up my jeans a little more, especially when paired with this silver statement necklace. The funniest thing was when I saw mum in the afternoon, she was also wearing a silky blouse like this, just in blue!

With the denim trench and the Nobody Denim skinny jeans this was a lot of denim, but I didn't have to wear my trench in the office. I added a little extra blue against the trench though with the blue Converse and the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Last worn: denim trench coat, silver hoop earrings, silver necklace, silky blouse, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and dress, silky blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Top: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Another long sleeved jewel toned blouse with black jeans, this navy studded one this time. Again I wore the denim trench, it's been keeping me quite cosy in the cooler morning and afternoon commutes to work. As this navy blouse is studded I skipped the necklace, and just added these purple statement earrings. I wanted a purple bag to be a bit matchy-matchy, and although this raisin purple Balenciaga work bag isn't an exact match with the purple earrings I liked the two together.

Again I wore my blue Converse. They are becoming a go-to with this denim trench, even though like the bag and earrings they aren't exact shade matches.


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, denim trench coat (above), navy blouse, faded black skinny jeans, blue Converse (above), purple Balenciaga work bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and dress, navy blouse and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and stripes, blue Converse and maxi skirt, purple Balenciaga work bag.

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.

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.

Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn these green jeans so they were overdue another wear! I've hit 30 wears with them since I thrifted them a few years ago, but they only get an outing on cooler days. I couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy with the green clay earrings. With the black blouse, the black Converse and black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag were easy matchy choices as well. It wasn't too cold on this morning so the denim trench coat was all I needed to layer with for the commute to the office.


Last worn: denim trench coat, clay earrings, black blouse, green skinny jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Dress: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse

Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like the statement voluminous sleeves on this black blouse, a recent thrift find. Unfortunately it makes it a little tricky to layer with. I was glad for the oversized relaxed fit of this denim trench as it accommodated the voluminous sleeves on the blouse nicely! 

I couldn't resist a little matching in this outfit too, with the burgundy beaded necklace and burgundy jeans. Again I went with the same black Converse as I was wearing another black top. I did change up the bag this time around though, wearing my Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag.

Anko Denim Trench Coat With Tiered Maxi Dresses and Chloe Paddington Bag

Wearing some tiered maxi dresses with my Anko denim trench coat again, comfortable sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and Chloe Paddington bag have been getting a lot of wear lately!

Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

I picked up this navy and white floral print tiered maxi dress in the Salty Crush sale recently and I love wearing it! The long sleeves are great for cooler weather, and it has pockets! It layered up nicely with the denim trench and Chloe Paddington bag. Both the trench and bag have been getting so much wear recently, they are trench is perfect for the cooler weather before it gets too cold in Brisbane and I replace it with thicker trench coats.

With all the blue from the denim and the navy print on the dress, I added a little extra colour with the purple resin floral statement earrings. I really liked them with this dress!

Scarf: star print pashmina
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Again, a tiered dress, this denim trench, some sneakers and my Chloe Paddington bag. While the dark chocolate brown went nicely with the blues in the above outfit, I really loved it against the orange of this Kmart tiered dress! As it was a cooler morning and I'd planned to wear this bag I knew this brown star print pashmina would be a great accessory. Although the brown stars are not a perfect match to the deep brown of the bag, I like the combination and I've worn a lot of brown bags with this scarf in the past!

The cosy pashmina was much needed as it was a cooler day than the one above, winter weather is definitely here in Brisbane.


Last worn: denim trench coat (above), gold statement earrings, star print pashmina, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paddington bag (above).

Pink Kmart Dresses With Denim Trench Coat and Navy Scarves

Layering up two fuchsia pink Kmart dresses for winter office days with this denim trench, blue bags, and navy printed scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I really like the way these fuchsia earrings match the fuchsia pink of this Kmart tiered midi dress! They are the perfect pair and it was so nice to wear them together. It was a cooler morning so I layered up for the commute with this denim trench coat that's been a staple recently, and had to add a scarf as well. I like the navy of this one against the pink dress and blue denim of the trench coat.

I added another shade of blue with this Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag, and then comfortable sneakers. I did wish on my way to work that I'd worn boots though, proper winter cold weather is here in Brisbane and bare ankles wasn't the nicest in the cold breeze, especially just with this light denim trench.

Unfortunately I managed to roll my chair over this trench at the office and tore a massive hole in it! Easily repaired, but I'm on the look-out now for a pretty patch to disguise the repair.


Last worn: denim trench coat, fuchsia earrings, navy diamond print scarf, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat and floral dress, navy diamond print scarf and orange, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I dressed much more warmly on this day, another cooler day I was up early for the commute to work. Again I wore the denim trench coat with this linen Kmart dress. I've layered it up for winter before, despite being linen it's not impossible to wear through the year as it layers so well. I added leggings, and ankle boots this time instead of sneakers. With the denim trench I still needed an extra layer so I went with this pretty navy and white tile print scarf. I really liked the colour of it against the fuchsia pink dress, and again with the blue of the denim trench.

I wore this little Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag, I've been reaching for it a lot lately. It's the perfect size for the essentials I need to take to work as I have my laptop in a work issued bag, and it goes with everything being a neutral shade.


Last worn: denim trench (above), tile print scarf, linen Kmart dress, ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench and florals, tile print scarf and jeans, linen Kmart dress and kimono, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.
