Black Blouses, Jeans, and Pink Bags

Two black blouse, jeans, and pink bag outfits I wore to the office recently.


What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Sometimes I struggle a bit picking a necklace for this blouse, but this pretty fuchsia statement necklace was perfect with it! I felt it added a pop of colour to the black blouse and grey jeans outfit even when I wasn't carrying around my pink Balenciaga city bag. That does add a big pop of colour too, but I don't carry it around the office, it sits on my desk.

Although the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag and fuchsia necklace are different shades of pink, I thought they worked well together with the neutral outfit. I really liked the simplicity of this outfit, felt great in this all day.


Last worn: beaded necklace, batwing blouse, grey skinny jeans, black Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

What I wore:






NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
TopJeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony


Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. Although the pink jeans are comfortable and the black blouse is a good basic piece, I just didn't enjoy wearing this as much as the outfit above. It's a shame this top isn't worn more often, being a black long sleeve blouse it's such a good basic. It just always seems to get passed over for more interesting tops. It's actually not been worn in years, so it's a piece that will be leaving my wardrobe. I'll donate it to the opshop.

Again I added another shade of pink to this outfit with the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag. It's not the same shade of pink as the jeans, but like the two different shades in the first outfit, I think the pinks looked good together. Simple outfit for another office day, even if I didn't like this as much as the first outfit.


Last worn: button detail blouse, Tiffany necklace, pink jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Bright Tees and Boucle Jackets With Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

Wearing some neutral outfits to the office lately, with lots of grey. Adding more interest to the outfits with brightly coloured tees and textured jackets.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey


Why I wore it:

This marigold tee can sometimes look really orange in person so I paired it with these charcoal grey Nobody Denim jeans, rather than any of my trusty black skinny jeans. I did add the black boucle jacket on top, but I think that worked well with the white thread through it so it didn't look too orange and black and Halloween themed!

I picked the grey Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag to wear with this as I wanted to match the neutrals in the majority of the outfit, but a brighter bag would have worked well with this I think. I also wasn't sure about the necklace - I often struggle to find the right necklace to wear with the rounded necklace of this jacket. But I got a lovely compliment from my colleague on this outfit that made me smile. Particularly because the only reason I'd worn such a bright tee that morning was due to a lack of sleep the night before, trying to fake looking awake!


Last worn: Mimco studs, boucle blazer, marigold tee, clover necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey


Why I wore it:

There are a lot of textures in this outfit with the jacquard jacket, quilted pencil skirt and quilted Rebecca Minkoff Love crossbody bag. I liked the plain pastel yellow tee with all those neutral layers for just a little touch of colour. Just like the outfit above, I wasn't sure on a necklace. In the end I decided just to wear these silver statement earrings and skip wearing a necklace completely, which I really liked with this outfit.


Last worn: silver earrings, jacquard jacket, yellow tee, grey pencil skirt, white leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag (above).

Colourful Tees, Dark Denim Jeans, Cover Ups and Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Taking my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag out again for a spin, with colourful tees and dark skinny jeans with statement cover ups on top for a little extra warmth. I really love this bag, but as it's so large and I don't always carry a lot, I don't use it as often as I should.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Why I wore it:

I thought this pale coral tee would be a great piece to wear under this purple and red Paisley print cover up, to bring out the red in the print a little more. I think it worked well!

With the crew neckline though I definitely need to add a necklace for a little extra interest and so I went with this statement silver one that hadn't been worn in a while. Originally I was planning to wear a bag with silver hardware with this, but when I opened up my handbag wardrobe I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and realised it had been too long between wears. I figured the gold hardware on the bag and the silver necklace were far enough apart that they would work well together. 

I had a busy day, with some appointments and errands to run as well as attending my son's performances at school in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening, so I'd taken the day off to try fit it all in. It meant that as well as my usual essentials in my bag, I had a water bottle, my camera for the show, and a book for reading while waiting at the appointment. This bag carries it all so well!


Last worn: Paisley print cover up, silver twist necklace, pale coral tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearPaisley print cover up and skirt, pale coral tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag and dress

What I wore:






JacketSalty Crush Haylo pink lace duster 
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


Why I wore it:

A slightly less busy day on this day, but again I stuck with the colourful tee, dark skinny jeans and pretty cover up outfit formula as before. I had the school run, working from home, and a couple of appointments in the afternoon for both the kids and I, so again I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. I needed to bring a book for all the waiting around at the appointments!

My sister got me this beautiful pink lace duster for Christmas and I always admire it hanging in my wardrobe but feel it has to be a special occasion to wear it. Wearing it on a regular working from home and school run day was a good way to break myself of that habit and give this pretty piece more chances to be worn, I really enjoyed wearing it!


Last worn: pink lace duster, lilac tee, blush beaded necklace, coated black skinny jeans, black Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (above).

Striped Tees, Jeans and Colourful Cardigans

Adding cosy, colourful layers to these striped tee and skinny jeans outfits with some bright waterfall cardigans.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

I feel I'm defaulting to jeans and a tee a lot this winter, it's such an easy outfit option for those school run and working from home days, nice and comfortable. As it was a particularly colder winter morning I layered up in this thick red waterfall cardigan. I love how bright and colourful it is, although I was surprised to see I hadn't worn it with this Coca-Cola log tee before, the matchy-matchy red seems like one of the first things I would have worn with this cardifan!

Although the stripes on the tee are navy I wore all black in the rest of my outfit, with the black skinny jeans, black Converse and black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. All I needed to carry was the essentials for the school run so this little crossbody bag was perfect.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearred waterfall cardigan and printed jeans, Coca-Cola logo tee and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag with pink.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Extremely similar outfit to the one above, for another day of working from home and only getting out in the morning and afternoon for school drop off and pick up. While this magenta purple waterfall cardigan isn't as thick as the one above, it was perfectly warm enough for this day. I liked the colour the purple knit added to the navy stripe tee and grey jeans too.

I did add a little more colour to this outfit with the tassel necklace, a fun opshop find. And again I wore the same accessories with the black converse and Mimco crossbody bag.

Green Floral Duster, Jeans and Metallic Tops

Two outfits making the most of the not to cold yet winter weather in Brisbane to wear my green floral duster again. It's a firm favourite, and in both of these outfits I'm wearing it with grey jeans and metallic tops.


What I wore:




JacketJeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

I knew I wanted to give this green duster a wear, despite the cooler morning, as I had a little bit of running around to do that day that would keep me warm. I had the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon. This was a great outfit for that.

With the colourful green duster I stuck to neutrals for everything else. I had to add the navy necklace for a bit of darker colour and to break up the monochromatic-ness of the silver tank with the grey skinny jeans, and then decided to add in another shade of blue with the Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag. It's also a great bag for fitting a book inside along with all my essentials to keep me occupied waiting for my son's appointment.


Last worn: green floral duster, silver metallic tank, navy necklace, grey skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to weargreen floral duster and skirt, silver metallic tank and shortsgrey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.





What I wore:




JacketJeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

I'd considered wearing this gold metallic tee instead of the silver metallic tank above with this duster, so on another warmer day I took the opportunity to wear the duster again just to wear the tee with it. I do love how the green pops against natural metallic pieces! Again I wore grey jeans, these Nobody Denim ones are so comfortable and with the Converse it was nice and practical for working from home, the school run, and sports in the afternoon. I wasn't sure about the silver chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag with the gold tee, but I think the neutral black worked so well with this outfit that I'm glad I gave it a try.

Leopard Print and Jeans Outfits With Chloe Bags

Two slightly cooler spring days in Brisbane meant getting another opportunity to get my jeans out again before summer temps set in. While both of these outfits have different colour schemes, they are both jeans and a tee with leopard print and Chloe bags.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Pink and blue always make me smile, although it does frustrate me a little how the lurex threads on this recently thrifted tee never show up in photos! I feel it's really noticeable in person. I liked the texture the tee had with the bright cheerful pink leopard print of the jeans. Had a regular weekday with working from home and the school run, jeans and a tee was ideal. I didn't really need all the extra space the Chloe Marcie gave but I liked the neutral tan with the colourful outfit.

I've been reorganising my wardrobe a bit lately with the clear outs I've been doing, so I realised when I got to my accessories that I hadn't worn this necklace in a while, it was definitely due another wear!


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearnavy tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.





What I wore:

Necklace:  thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus orange, yellow and red thread bracelets
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and the school run, with a couple of errands after picking the kids up from school. These grey skinny jeans are extremely comfortable, and I liked the neutral grey of the denim and the pale khaki of the Chloe Ethel bag with the neon orange leopard print on the tee.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the orange bracelets, although I added a slightly different colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I really liked this outfit! It was a slightly cooler day with all the rain, this outfit was perfect.


Last worn: leopard print tee, yellow tassel necklace, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag.

Pink Tees, Grey Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid

Two pink tee and grey jeans outfits I wore recently, with my go-with-everything Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. I added some printed cover ups for a little extra colour in my outfits as well.


What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Wore this to run a couple of errands and stop by the local opshop to donate a few more things from the spring clear out I've been having lately. Since I knew I was going to be browsing after donating, I wore a couple of thrifted pieces - completely unscientific but I find I have good luck in an opshop if I'm wearing something thrifted, haha! This necklace, the burgundy floral print cover up, and the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag were all finds from this opshop in the past. And when I found this Rebecca Minkoff Cupid in the opshop I thought for sure I'd got the best bag find ever. So I really wasn't expecting to find another designer bag in the opshop!

Happily picked up a Stella McCartney Falabella for just $30 though! Got a few other things as well before I stumbled across this bag, and could not believe my luck when I took a closer look and saw it was the real deal.

This dusky pink tee I thought went nicely with the burgundy and peach floral print of the cover up, and it was a nice layer to add a little extra interest to a simple jeans and tee outfit.


Last worn: floral cover up, neutral necklace, grey skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag:  thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another pink tee and grey jeans outfit for the weekend. We had a playdate and it was a slightly cooler morning so I thought this fun tie dye cape was a good cover up, not too heavy for when it warmed up later in the day. I added the navy tassel necklace for a little bit of matchy-matchy with the navy tie dye as well. And again, my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag that goes with everything.


Last worn: tie dye cape, navy tassel necklace, pink ombre tee, grey jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Skinny Jeans, Collarless Jackets, And Mulberry Bayswater | Weekday Wear Link Up

Skinny jeans and collarless jackets for the office with my Mulberry Bayswater tote bag. This Mulberry classic Bayswater tote was a staple of office life before 2020, but it hasn't been worn much since. It was good to get it out again, even if I don't carry much to the office to need such a big bag.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesWalnut Melbourne Ava white leopard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Why I wore it:

This was a very fun day at work - although maybe not the best day to wear so much black. We had visiting puppies who were up for adoption and if Cooper wasn't best suited to be a solo dog I would have filled in quite a few adoption requests! I had a lot of fun patting all the cute pups, even if I was constantly finding dog hair on my jeans after!

I've worn this dusky pink cami with black jeans before, I really like the combination. I felt that the tweed collarless jacket and the leopard print ballet flats made this a little more dressed up for the day in the office, even though I didn't have to be too formal because of the puppies!


Last worn: tweed jacket, yellow necklace, pink cami, Nobody denim skinny jeans, leopard print flats, Mulberry Bayswater tote bag.

Other ways to weartweed jacket and pencil skirt, pink cami and denim skirt, Nobody denim skinny jeans and printed top, leopard print flats and wrap dress, Mulberry Bayswater tote bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancytweed jacket in second trimester, Mulberry Bayswater tote bag in third trimester.





What I wore:




JacketDiane Von Furstenberg Gabrielle boxy floral jacket in garden green (via Sheila's wardrobe)
Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagMulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather


Why I wore it:

I don't think the oak leather of the Mulberry classic bayswater went as well in this outfit as it did with the black and pink above, but it did make this outfit feel more formal for work. With the grey jeans and the black linen blend tank and black ballet flats, again this was quite a neutral outfit. So I got this pretty green silk jacket out again, it was one Sheila gave me a while back. With the collarless jacket and the v-neckline of the tank I had such a hard time picking a necklace for hit outfit - nothing seemed to go right! In the end I decided on these big silver leaf earrings so I didn't have to worry about a necklace.

I did like this outfit, but think maybe darker jeans or a darker bag would have worked better.
