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.

Black Cardigan and Floral Printed Dresses With Leggings

Last time I wore this cardigan I commented on how it's been in my wardrobe for so long, even before the blog! While I wore it then with jeans, it's nice and warm for wearing over dresses too, as I've worn it here with both of these floral dresses for winter weekend days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace, custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

This Jaase navy autumn leaves print Celine dress is a firm favourite. Being a light viscose it's good in warmer weather, but it layers nicely for winter with a cosy cardigan like this, especially when paired with leggings and my trusty black ankle boots.

The only thing I regretted about this outfit was the leggings - they kept me warm but we visited a friend with dogs that shed and black cardigan was maybe not the best choice - the leggings got covered in dog fur! The dogs were cute enough to make up for it though.

I tried to dress the outfit up a little with the layered necklaces, but they were tangled and hidden behind my hair in the photos sadly. 

There isn't any pink in the autumn leaves print on this dress but I still felt like carrying this magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch - it was an opshop find a while back and I've been enjoying wearing it a lot lately.


Last worn: black cardigan, studded earrings, Tiffany necklace, silhouette necklace, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress, black ankle boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and band tee, Jaase Celine autumn leaves dress and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan

Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace, Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

No ankle boots this time, but otherwise a very similar outfit to the one above, with another floral dress, leggings and the black cardigan again. I added the silver statement earrings to match the silver layered necklaces and the silver hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

A big bag was needed for the day as I had to carry a bit around. We had church in the morning and then I volunteered at a Bunnings fundraising sausage sizzle in the afternoon so I went with my comfortable Converse for being on my feet most of the day. The pastel pink is a much lighter pink than the pink in the print of the dress, but I still liked the extra touch of pink they added to this outfit, and I was very glad of the comfortable shoes at the end of the sausage sizzle!

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the earrings - I've never had issues with them before but they kept falling out while I was manning the sausage sizzle - had to put them in my bag at one point as I kept knocking them out accidentally! Thankfully I didn't lose either of them.


Last worn: black cardigan (above), silver earrings, Tiffany necklace (above), Tiffany heart necklace, pastel floral print dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black cardigan and jeans, pastel floral print dress with yellow, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and printed jeans.

Denim Jackets and Dresses With Blue Bags and Converse

I wore this Kmart denim jacket with denim dresses, blue Converse, and blue Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, although I did regret not packing leggings to wear with it! This was during our little staycation at Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast. I picked this dress as it packs well, the viscose doesn't crease easily and you can't see any creases that do form with the excess fabric, the tiers and the print. With the long sleeves I was hoping the denim jacket would be enough to keep me warm on the short walk from our hotel room to one of the hotel restaurants.

It was later in the evening, after dinner, where I'd wished I'd had the leggings, as we spent some time outside before heading back to our rooms. Thankfully being winter the staff had a few fire pits setup so I was warm sitting in front of them, but cold for the short walk back to the room.

The blue Converse and blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag were what I'd worn around the theme park earlier in the day - I just tried to dress this up a little with the necklace, then I didn't have to pack any extra accessories.


Last worn: denim jacket, rose gold glitter necklace, Jaase Celine floral dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine floral dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and pink dress.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart tiered little black dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

This little black dress is a recent opshop find, and like all the new fashion additions to my wardrobe, I was eager to wear it twice in the month I bought it. It meant layering it up a little for this very cold morning where I had a couple of errands to run. I added the leggings and the fun heart print scarf. Although the scarf was really for a bit of colour and print as much as warmth! With the black dress and black leggings the outfit needed the scarf for a bit more colour, the blue Converse and light denim jacket weren't enough of a boost, even with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag for a little more colour I felt a scarf was needed.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was how the dress stuck to the leggings - I am looking forward to warmer weather where I can enjoy this dress without the extra layer! The leggings were a practical choice in the cold though.


Last worn: Anko denim jacket (above), heart studs, heart print scarf, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag. It's the first time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Anko denim jacket and skirt, heart print scarf with red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag and shorts.

Floral Print Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Two outfits with floral print dresses, Converse, a navy suede moto jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag for some different days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I really like this navy suede moto jacket paired with this navy and white floral print tiered dress. I wanted to be dressed up but not too cold for a day off where I attended an award ceremony for a family member. I thought a denim jacket or leather jacket would be too casual, this jacket seemed perfect for the formal event. I did go with casual Converse though as I had to drive a bit and while boots would have looked more formal, I had to consider my knee with all that driving.

I didn't need to carry much, just the essentials, so I went with this little black Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag. It was perfect for the basics for the ceremony and then going out for brunch afterwards.

Went a little matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on the bag with the gold charm necklace and gold stud earrings. I layered up some gold bracelets too but you can't see them with the long sleeves on the dress and long sleeves on the jacket covering them up.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, heart stud earrings, charm necklace, navy floral tiered dress, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and jeans, navy floral tiered dress and denim jacket, Converse and shorts, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was unfortunately not a day off! I had to head into the office, again leaving before sunrise so sorry for the low quality photo. Since I liked the navy suede jacket with the floral dress in the outfit above so much I wore the formula again on this day with this Kmart teal floral print midi dress. I really like this dress with shades of blue, so I added blue converse with the navy jacket. I went a little matchy-matchy with the teal earrings but unfortunately they are hard to see in the photo.

Again I wore my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. It's great for all the essentials and I have a big work-issued laptop bag I can slip my water bottle and lunch into.

Last worn: navy suede moto jacket (above), teal tassel earrings, teal floral midi dress, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket with pink, teal floral midi dress and blazer, blue Converse and skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

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.

Dresses and Leather Jackets For Winter With Rebecca Minkoff Bags

Layering up some dresses for Brisbane's winter weather with leather jackets. I always like getting my leather jackets out in the cooler weather, they are great outfit toppers.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

On a particularly cold winter morning I layered up this colourful coral red Kmart tiered midi dress with my Jeanswest leather jacket and my paisley print snood (infinity scarf). I wasn't sure if the floral bag and the paisley print scarf would be too much together, but I think they were far enough apart that this outfit worked, and I felt like giving this bag a wear again, it was definitely overdue!

Although the hand painted Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote bag has gold hardware, the paisley print scarf has little silver studs woven through it so I decided to wear my silver circle earrings with this. Wore comfortable shoes as we had church and then some errands to run afterwards, as the kids needed some new school shoes.


Last worn: leather jacket, silver circle earrings, paisley print snood, Kmart tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and printed jeans, paisley print snood and jeans, Kmart tiered midi dress and scarf, Nike Court Royale sneakers and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Paisley print snood in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This was earlier in winter when it was a little warmer so I could face going bare legged. I still layered up with the black ankle boots and black leather jacket to keep me cosy though. This leather jacket is another favourite, picked up preloved at the fashion markets at such a bargain price. I like the juxtaposition of pretty floral dresses with leather jackets, and of course the matchy-matchy of the black leather boots as well made me happy. I added a little extra colour as although the Jasse Semika dress is a colourful floral print, I had added a lot of black. This aquamarine Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and the turquoise tassel earrings are such a nice pairing and I felt they brightened this outfit up.

It was another weekend day, with two kids birthday parties to attend, so a long but fun day. 


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, turquoise tassel earrings, Jaase Semika mini dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and denim, Jaase Semika mini dress and trench coat, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in third 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.

Pink and Blue: Tiered Midi Dresses and Trench Coats

Two tiered dresses for the office with trench coats. Both of these outfits have scarves to combat the colder winter mornings in Brisbane currently, and feature pink and blue.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Salty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
Boots: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a bittersweet day! We had a team lunch to celebrate one of our colleagues moving to a new team. I wanted to be a little dressed up for it, but also warm, as the restaurant was partially outdoors, and I had a bunch of meetings that day too. This cosy ombre pink pashmina scarf was a perfect cosy layer, and the navy trench coat was a practical choice as well. I actually ended up taking my scarf off at lunch as we got situated under the heater and it was quite toasty!

I picked this Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote to wear to fit in the card we had all put together for my colleague, and then the black ankle boots were an obvious matchy choice with that. I did wish I'd worn taller boots though, it was a bit of a windy day and that tiny little gap of leg above the boots that showed when the wind picked up the hem of the dress got a bit cold!


Last worn: navy mac, pink ombre scarf, navy and white tiered midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy mac and dress, pink ombre scarf and jeans, navy and white tiered midi dress and denim jacket, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat

Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another tiered midi dress for the office, with the same black ankle boots. It was not quite as windy a day, so the little gap between the hem of the dress and top of my boots didn't make me too cold. Again I went with darker bag to match the boots. This Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag photographs as a black bag but it's just a very dark navy. I like pairing it with these boots.

I layered up this fuchsia pink Kmart tiered midi dress with this cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl - it's so warm for winter! And my lined camel trench coat, always a staple in winter weather.


Last worn: tan trench coat, silver hoop earrings, Louis Vuitton shawl, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress, black ankle boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: tan trench coat worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton shawl and stripes, Kmart fuchsia tiered midi dress and yellow, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.
