Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.


What I wore:






NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearembroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.





What I wore:



Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMimco black button bag


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Colourful Tees and Pencil Skirts

Two simple but colourful office outfits with crew neck tees, textured pencil skirts, Converse and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags.


What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

I like green and blue together, so it seems like an obvious pairing to wear this navy jacquard pencil skirt with the green crew neck tee. Of course I couldn't settle on just one shade of blue with this tee, so I added more. The tee is a really nice green that goes with everything, from the pastel blue of the Converse or the darker bluey-grey of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the navy in the statement necklace and pencil skirt.

It's been a while since I've worn this necklace, but the green tee with the high neckline was the perfect backdrop for it I felt.


Last worn: statement necklace, green tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to weargreen tee and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and shorts.





What I wore:






Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 


Why I wore it:

Because I love a good easily repeatable outfit formula, another office day and the same outfit. This time I went with a red tee and a textured silver pencil skirt. Again I added a statement necklace, Converse and a little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. This aquamarine one adds a touch more colour to the outfit, it's a great pop against the coral red of the tee.

I did add a few more accessories to this to try and elevate the outfit a little for the office, with another statement necklace, the silver hoop earrings, and the silver cuff bracelet. Just like the outfit above, while the colours and pieces are different, I really like this outfit formula of tee, pencil skirt and Converse for my business casual office.


Last worn: coral tee, silver hoop earrings, faux pearl necklace, silver pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wearcoral tee and shorts, silver pencil skirt and jacket, white Converse and dressaqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

What I Wore For Christmas! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day Outfits

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Getting around to sharing what I wore for Christmas, over multiple days of celebration with family, friends and food. 

We spend Christmas Eve together for family time and baking and crafting, and then Christmas Day is the main event with the massive lunch and all the presents, and then it's over to the in-laws on Boxing day to celebrate Christmas with them too.


What I wore:




Hat: Santa hat
Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings (Christmas present)
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas day. I bought this preloved maxi dress at fashion markets back in 2023, although I hadn't worn it in 2024 at all. I went to wear it one day and then thought "this would be the perfect dress for Christmas" and I haven't worn it since, trying to "save" it for the occasion, which is a little silly. It was so good to give it a wear again and realise I've passed over wearing it for no real reason, as I love it.

After an extremely early 4am wakeup from the over-excited kids, it was present time then church and back home to cook Christmas lunch with the family. I was hosting again this year, and invited my friend along to join us for lunch as well so it was a little busier than most times I've hosted Christmas! It was so fun having more people at our table though.


Last worn: Santa hat, Orange Sherbet maxi dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch. First time I've worn the festive cockatoo earrings as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wearSanta hat and coral dress, Orange Sherbet maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Leo clutch and navy dress.





What I wore:





Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: festive glitter Santa tee
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt (new purchase)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This is what I wore for Christmas eve. I was particularly excited about wearing this Nobody Denim skirt. It's not the first wear, but first wear on the blog. I bought it at Salvos, new with tags, for a bargain $30, which I'm very pleased with. I wore it with my annual Christmas Eve tee, one my sister bought me back in 2012. It's a little less glitter than when it was new, but it's still going strong 12 years later!

Stuck with the festive theme with my big glittery gingerbread man earrings, red and green resin bracelets, and red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.


Last worn: glitter gingerbread earrings, festive Santa tee, Havaianas, red and green resin bracelets, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag. It's the first time I've worn the green glitter resin bracelet and Nobody Denim skirt as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wearfestive Santa tee and maxi skirtRebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancyfestive Santa tee in second trimester.





What I wore:




Earrings: festive cockatoo and presents statement earrings
Dress: Kmart teal tropical notch neck floral maxi dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

I wore this for celebrating Christmas on boxing day with the in-laws. It's a much more casual Christmas celebration but I still like to wear a pretty dress. And it was another excuse for me to wear these amazing cockatoo sitting on presents earrings that I got in my stocking! I liked the native floral illustration in the earrings complimenting the floral print of the teal maxi dress.

The tie around the waist for the dress seemed like a nice idea at first, but I ended up taking it off so the dress hung loose. Better on the hot day, and for all the delicious food I was anticipating! The kids had a great time and this dress was perfect, especially as I spent some time on the floor with the dogs. When we adopted Bonnie earlier this year we increased the total number of dogs at the in-laws Christmas celebration to 5, so there were a lot of very good dogs to pat and play with.


Last worn: cockatoo earrings (above), teal floral maxi dress, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above).

Green And Leopard Print Skirt Outfits With Mimco Bags

I like to repeat outfit formulas when I've enjoyed wearing them. Green and leopard is a combination I tried and liked so much I had to wear it twice! In both of these outfits I've accessorised with Mimco bags too.


What I wore:



Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal


Why I wore it:

We had a video call this afternoon while I was working from home that was a themed event so I knew this outfit would be perfect for it! Surprisingly I haven't tried wearing green with this leopard print skirt before, it's such a nice combination! I added a little more colour with the fun tassel necklace, but went a little matchy-matchy with the green avocado Santa hat earrings matching the green of the tee, even though they are slightly different shades.

I picked the braided sandals to match the brown in the print of the skirt too, and although the teal Mimco Cocoon bag doesn't match anything in the outfit, I really liked it against the green tee. This bag has been getting a lot of love recently since I scored it on eBay.


Last worn: avocado earrings, green tee, tassel necklace, leopard print skirt, braided sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to weargreen tee and midi skirt, leopard print skirt and leather jacket, braided sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bucket bag and pencil skirt.







What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Earrings: candy cane hoop earrings
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Emerald green
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Another day with the school run and working from home, and another green and leopard print outfit. This time I wore a leopard print cover up over a green tank and black denim skirt. I felt even when working from home that the green tank was a bit casual for having my video on in some meetings, the leopard print cover up dressed it up a little bit more, and covered up my shoulders for physical sunblock on the school run too.

With the black denim skirt, the black strappy sandals and the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag seemed like obvious accessories. I added a little more green to this outfit too with the mint beads in the silicone necklace.


Last worn: leopard cover up, silicone necklace, green tank, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the earrings, a Christmas gift last year.

Other ways to wearleopard cover up and shorts, green tank and jeans, black denim skirt with orange, strappy sandals and shorts, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: green tank at 39 weeks.

Green and Blue Jeans and Tee Outfits

I really like wearing green and blue together. Both these jeans and tee outfits feature blue and green together in different shades, and I like the colour combinations in each outfit. 


What I wore:






JacketCotton On Alana Wanderlust kimono in floral mood indigo
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus jade beads and Roie Designs bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Jeans and a tee has become a staple for me while working from home this spring! I liked the printed cover up on top of the green tee, it adds a little interest when on a video call. With the blue printed cover up against the green tee I added the navy and gold necklace for an extra contrast. Doesn't match the blue in the print at all but I liked the different shades of blue in this outfit.

Added more green as well with the green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. Like the necklace and cover up, the shade doesn't match the tee, but again I liked both shades in this outfit.

Kept the rest simple with my black jeans and black strappy sandals, for doing the school run in the morning and evening.


Last worn: Cotton On cover up, green tee, navy beaded necklace, zip detail jeans, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wearCotton On cover up and skirt, green tee and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and shorts.







What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap


Why I wore it:


Another school run and working from home outfit, with sports in the evening after school. The navy beaded necklace is more of a match with the navy chevron print cover up. I tried to match the turquoise in the print with the Balenciaga first bag, although I'm not sure the print shows that turquoise so well in the photos. It still made my matchy-matchy self happy though!

These olive green jeans were due another wear, they are a pair I've exceeded 30 wears with and I have worn them a lot with grey tees, although it's the first time I've worn them with this tee. Wore the same black strappy sandals as I did in the outfit above, they are very comfortable.


Last worn: navy print cover up, navy beaded necklace, grey tee, olive jeans, black strappy sandals (above), Balenciaga First bag.

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:






JacketCotton On black knit wrap cardigan
ScarfStella 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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO 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 bumpConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO 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.

Green and Black Outfits With Love Too Bag

While it's officially winter now in Brisbane, I still have some autumn outfits I wore that I haven't posted yet, like this printed shorts outfit I actually wore back in April! Both it and the second outfit are made up of green and black.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
ShortsJeanswest Parker printed shirred short
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really like this combination of a green piece in my outfit with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and the chunky green, navy and black geometric bead statement necklace. It's an outfit combination I've worn a few times. This is the first time I've worn the green tee with these black printed shorts though. I also liked this pairing.

Just needed something practical and comfortable to wear for a day of working at home with a break in the afternoon for a physio appointment. As it was back in April and a warm autumn, shorts and tee was perfect.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to weargreen tee and skirt, black printed shorts and knit, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.






What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Another autumn outfit, but you can definitely tell it's cooler here! Again it's a black and green outfit, with the black zip detail skinny jeans, and a green floral duster. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with this again as well. I really like wearing this teal bag with greens!

It's not the first time I've worn this green floral duster with navy either, I really like pairing navy tops with it. I thrifted this tee a while back and it has a beautiful metallic thread weaved through it that sadly just doesn't show up in photos. I really like it in person though, feels a little more special than a plain navy tee with that sparkle.

Jeans and a tee is always a good idea for a working from home day when I'm also doing the school run, and we had sports in the evening too.

Maxi Skirts With Colourful Tees and Matching Bags

Making the most of some very quiet days in the office lately with just a couple of my team members to wear these simple maxi skirts and plain tee outfits. I did add some big statement necklaces to try dress up the tees a little, and had a little bit of matchy-matchy with my accessories, wearing bags in similar colours to the tees in each outfit.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee:  thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus black beaded bracelet stack and red beaded bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy


Why I wore it:

This was one of those days where nothing goes to plan, starting off with being late in the morning! Always the worst and meant I was rushing into the office after school drop off. At least I'd planned my outfit the night before so it was easy to throw on and go in the morning.

Felt this black maxi skirt was due another wear. I see a lot more maxi skirts and dresses in the office than I ever did pre-pandemic, and I love it! With the plain black maxi skirt I added more colour with the coral tee, and then stuck with the red theme adding this burgundy beaded multi strand necklace and the little burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag. Added yet another shade of red with the red beaded bracelet in my bracelet stack too. Even though none of the shades of reds match exactly, I really liked them all together in this outfit.


Last worn: coral tee, multi strand necklace, black maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearcoral tee and jeans, black maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:





Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Another quiet day in the office - although I wasn't running late and rushing around on this day and it went a whole lot better! Since I liked the outfit above so much, I did the next best thing for this office day and wore the same outfit formula with different pieces. Repeating an outfit formula is something I like to do a lot, less effort than thinking up a whole new outfit!

This leopard print maxi skirt has been a firm favourite since I thrifted it and I thought I'd try pair it with green for something a little different. This green crew neck tee is an opshop find too! And while not the perfect match with the green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag I did like the different shades of green together.

As in the outfit above, I added the big wooden multi strand statement necklace to try make this a little more dressed up for the office.


Last worn: green crew neck tee, black statement necklace, leopard print maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to weargreen crew neck tee and pencil skirt, leopard print maxi skirt with red, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and jeans.
