Pink and Blue: Floral Cover Ups With Louis Vuitton Neverfull | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link up, sharing two recent outfits where I added some light layers for spring with both of these floral toppers over shorts and tees, with sneakers and my Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was one of those spring days where I didn't quite get my outfit right, as I had to take this jacket off in the middle of the day when I took a break from working from home to take Cooper for his grooming appointment. It was perfect and light enough for the school run though in the morning and afternoon.

I really liked the print and colour this jacket added to the monochrome blue tee and denim shorts outfit, and how it tied in with the marble magenta and gold necklace. I really like a bit of matchy-matchy!

While I didn't have too much to carry with just the school tun, Cooper's appointment and working from home, I'd got all my things in this Louis Vuitton Neverfull from the previous outing and decided to just wear it again for ease of getting read that morning!


Last worn: magenta long sleeve waterfall floral jacket, baby blue tee, gold and marble necklace, denim shorts, blue Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: magenta long sleeve waterfall floral jacket and graphic tee, baby blue tee and red skirt, denim shorts and stripes, blue Converse and printed skirt, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in second trimester.

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Tried some blush pink with this duster, even though it doesn't have any blush in the print, I liked the pink shorts and matching necklace with it. Because the duster is so long I decided to leave the blue tee untucked, it was a nice relaxed outfit.

The kids and I went out shopping with mum to finish up a couple last little gifts and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull was the best size for carrying snacks and water bottles for everyone.

Skinny Jeans, Pink Tops and Black and White Prints With Chloe Bags

Adding a little colour to black and white winter jeans outfits I wore recently, with some pink tees. Accessorising with my two most recently purchased Chloe handbags as well.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelets and rose gold bead bracelet
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

After I recently wore this cosy kimono and remembered how much I love it, I just had to wear it again! It was perfect for keeping me warm in the colder morning while we went to a kid's birthday party, although it was a bit warm in the afternoon when we went to the library and were out in the sun at the playground with all that black!

Because there was an organised activity at the party, the kids had a blast while I got to enjoy chatting to my friends, and of course there was plenty of food and delicious cake too. It was a good party for everyone.

This pink tee is one of my favourites and so was definitely due another wear! I considered a scarf but after it warmed up I was glad I'd picked the necklace instead. I thought the textured beads were a nice combination with the black and white design on the knit.

The Chloe Marcie bag was perfect for carrying all my essentials plus the kids water bottles too.

Last worn: knitted kimono, terrazzo bead necklace, pink tee, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: knitted kimono worn two ways, pink tee knotted over dress, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar and midi dress, Chloe Marcie bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve tee in fuchsia
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another scarf-free day! This was an extremely warm winter day so I took the chance to wear this thrifted multi strand wooden bead necklace instead. With the black beads, black skinny jeans and black and white striped duster, I felt this bright pink tee popped even more than usual! It was a fun outfit for a quiet day - just the school run, working from home, a couple errands, and then sports in the evening. This duster is quite thin but polyester so it was perfect at keeping me just warm enough on the warmer day.

It's been a while since I wore this cute little mini Chloe Paddington bag I picked up at Glad Rags Markets - so since I didn't need to carry much I took it out for a spin. The lovely cream colour was another way to add a bit more lightness to the mostly black outfit.


Last worn: striped duster, black statement necklace, pink tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe mini Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: striped duster and dress, pink tee and printed shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, Converse and midi dress, Chloe mini Paddington bag and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped duster in second trimester, black Converse in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Black and white are classic neutrals that go with everything! I like pink and black together and as you can see in these outfits, pink really stands out when worn with black and white printed pieces.

Orange And Navy Outfits With Turquoise Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, for the school run and working from home. Both featuring navy and orange together.

What I wore:

Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! I'm so glad I thrifted this skirt at the opshop for just $1, every time I wear it it makes me smile. Kept it super simple for a busy day with a plain navy v-neck tee and Converse. It's not the first time I've worn this skirt with Converse, it's a really cute combination. Blue and orange work together so well, this navy tee was the perfect topper for the skirt.

The Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine was a great pop against the rust skirt, I really liked that combination also. Nice easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and then taking the kids out shopping in the afternoon to get a present for a birthday party the next day.


Last worn: navy tee, beaded necklace, orange ruffle skirt, black Converse, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and olive shorts, orange ruffle skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and printed culottes.

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

My Blue Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga first bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

A very different shade of orange! This marigold tee is quite bright against this navy floral duster. While there isn't any orange in the print of the kimono I think the orange still goes well with it due to that navy background. Wore my Bermuda denim shorts again which have been getting a lot of wear recently! Despite it being autumn and a very wet and rainy day, it was still a humid morning that called for shorts over jeans. I did end up changing to jeans in the evening though when we went out for sports, as it was a little chilly doing school pick up in the afternoon.

Despite the bright orange of the tee I thought this outfit could use a little more colour, so went with another of my turquoise bags, this cute Balenciaga bleu India first bag. I like this floral duster and the first bag together, I've worn them together before.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, navy tassel necklace, marigold tee, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and denim skirt, marigold tee and culottes, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and pink dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy is a great neutral and as you can see here it works well with both the darker rust orange and the brighter marigold orange tee. You can't go wrong with blue and orange!

Green Floral Prints and Grey Tees With Black Studded Tote Bag

Sometimes my outfit posts are two very similar outfits that follow the same formula. Other times, like today's post, it's just me trying to find some kind of similarity in what I wore so I can group them together for a post! Sharing two green floral print, grey tee and skirt outfits, two very different looks with very different pieces.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another busy day! My son had a specialist appointment which lucky for him meant he missed a little bit of school that morning. We headed into the city - unfortunately with all the traffic - in the morning, and then I dropped him off at school and worked from home for a bit before school pickup in the afternoon.

I was determined to try this midi skirt with something other than Converse - these little black ballet flats were cute, although maybe not the best for driving with my knee injury, and matched the black statement necklace nicely. Both the skirt and necklace are recent opshop finds. I wasn't quite sure if this grey tunic top worked with the green midi skirt - maybe too relaxed a style with it, I went back and forth a few times but in the end I liked this outfit, I'm glad I gave it a try! A grey tee really does go with anything!


Last worn: grey tunic, black multi strand necklace, green floral midi skirt, ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic and printed shorts, green floral midi skirt and Converse, ballet flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ballet flats in second trimester.

Opshop Haul - What I Thrifted In February

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Couldn't resist getting another wear of my Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer tee to the vaccination centre! Took the boys back for their second vaccine dose. I was feeling a lot better than when we took them for their first one back at the start of the year, when I was still recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery.

We had a trip to the library that day too so I added this green floral print duster to my outfit to keep me warm in the cold aircon in both places. It's not the same shade of green as the text on the tee but I love this duster with grey tees! And with the grey tee, black denim skirt, black Converse, and black tote bag, it was a very monochromatic outfit without that pop of colour from the kimono! The black tote bag was a must though, for carrying snacks, water bottles, and a little post-vaccination lolly for the kids. They were very brave.

Last worn: green floral duster, grey Pfiiiiizer tee, turquoise pendant necklace, distressed denim skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and graphic tee, grey Pfiiiiizer tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

The outfits above would work with any colourful printed piece you're not too confident about wearing. Any colour looks great with a grey tee! It's the best wardrobe basic!

Dusters, Denim Skirts And Sneakers: Weekday Wear Link Up

Two more playground outfits for days out with the kids! School was postponed back in January due to high Covid cases, giving the kids an extra 2 weeks of summer school holidays to enjoy. And for us it means more fun playground trips! Sticking with a tried and true outfit formula for these days, with block colour tees, denim skirts, sneakers and printed dusters.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware (Christmas gift)

Why I wore it:

I wasn't too sure how this outfit would all work together. There is some pink in this tropical floral print duster, but the pink mini 5 zip bag and the dusty pink tee are different shades of it, and all are different each other. I decided to give it a go though, I hadn't worn this tee and duster together before and I do think this duster does with everything. With all the shades of pink I kept the rest neutral with the black New Balance sneakers and the black denim skirt, which was an awesome opshop find. Even the wooden and terrazzo necklace was a neutral touch. I ended up really liking this outfit and I'm glad I gave it a go!

We had a little trip to the library for the kids to get their prize for completing the summer reading challenge, and then it was off to the bike track. I only carried this little mini 5 zip bag for the essentials as I had our big reusable tote for the library with our water bottles. We ended up coming across a little baby bird on the ground at the bike track, so the kids spent more time looking at it than riding on their bikes really! Poor little thing was hopping around looking lost, but it had a very fierce mummy bird coming in to protect it every time the magpies got too close, so we knew it was being watched and left it alone. Even if I did have to call the RSPCA animal ambulance to confirm that was the right thing to do, to convince my son I was right to leave it and that he shouldn't try pick it up 😅 He's an animal lover and just wanted to help!


Last worn: floral maxi kimono, rose tee, terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace, black denim skirt, New Balance sneakers. First time I've worn the pink 5 zip bag as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: floral kimono and jeans, rose tee and culottes, black denim skirt and orange tee.

Handbag For Every Occasion: Bag Tag Video

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was another eventful playground trip - but for all the wrong reasons! We headed to a playground that we hadn't been to for a few years, last time we went was for a toddler birthday party! I managed to get lost and nearly drive into a building site, but managed to figure out the right way in the end. The kids loved the playground but after we'd been playing for a while I went to clean my hands and realised I'd left my hand sanitiser behind at home. Luckily the park had some toilets and a little sink with soap, but it was a bit frustrating constantly walking across the playground to wash my hands after pushing the kids on the swings and equipment! While I was away from my bag on one of those hand washing trips a bird managed to poop on my bag too...still, that's meant to be good luck right? 😂

Despite everything going wrong and it turning out to be a very hot and humid day, the kids had a great time at the park. They really do see the best in things! I did wish I'd picked a shorter sleeved duster to cover up with as it was so humid, but this one turned out to be an okay choice as it was hard to find good spots in the shade to sit and watch the kids when they didn't need me to play with them. I was thankful for the physical sun block this provided, even if it was unbreathable polyester. With the sleeves rolled up it wasn't too hot, as you can see the sleeves roll up nicely.

Went with my big Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote to carry snacks and water bottles - and as soon as we got home I put hand sanitiser back in it, and made sure I had properly cleaned off the bird poop!

Last worn: Kmart striped duster, silver circle necklace, clay tee, black denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: Kmart striped duster for a flight, clay tee and printed shorts, black denim skirt and floral kimono, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Unlined tote bag and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Kmart striped duster in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A bright tee and a black denim skirt is an easy summer outfit with sneakers - perfect for a morning at the playground with the kids. For a little extra colour or even just some physical sun coverage, you can add a printed duster. The outfit formula works really well with a plain block colour tee as you don't have to worry about the print clashing.
