Animal Print and Blazer Office Outfits With Pink

Two different pink and animal print outfits for the office, worn with blazers to dress them up a little.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

This was a really good day at work! A colleague from another office was visiting and it was lovely to see them again.

I only had a few meetings so went with a jeans and blazer outfit, with this cheetah print cami. I like wearing printed tops with this blush pink blazer, it's always a good combination. I added a little more pink with the pink Converse, although they don't match the shade of pink in the blazer I like the two shades together with all the neutrals in the outfit. The brown Chloe Paddington I've been wearing a lot lately, and I thought matched nicely with the brown in the print of the tank. While the hardware and padlock on the Paddington bag is gold I thought that the silver accessories would be nice with this. The hammered silver statement necklace and silver circle earrings are such a nice pairing together. Both are opshop finds.


Last worn: blush blazer, silver circle earrings, silver statement necklace, cheetah print cami, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, Chloe Paddington in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This is a very different looking outfit from the one above, but it follows the same basic formula with a blazer, some animal print, and a touch of pink. this time around it was a lot of leopard print, with this beautiful maxi skirt, which was an opshop find. The grey tee was a good neutral with the bold print, and then the black blazer from my sister's wardrobe was a nice topper. Even with the gold accessories, the statement earrings and the faux pearl necklace, this outfit felt like it needed a little more. The pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was just the right way to add a little more colour, and I liked the matchy-matchy with the gold accessories and the gold hardware on the mini5-zip bag.

I wore my converse again - I pretty much live in sneakers now! With the brown ones to match the brown in the leopard print of the skirt. Another easy office outfit.


Last worn: black blazer, gold earrings, faux pearl necklace, grey tee, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and dress, grey tee and denim, leopard print maxi skirt with red, brown Converse and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and denim skirt.

Pink and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Love Too Bag

Two very different black and pink jeans and tee outfits, with patterned cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this cosy knit out again! The perfect topper to keep me warm for a day with the school run, working from home and a quick errand in the afternoon. I always enjoy getting this knitted poncho out each winter, it's like wearing a giant blanket really! The black and white pattern adds a nice bit of an interest to any outfit I wear it with, and it is warm enough so I just needed a plain tee underneath.  Added a little colour with the pink frayed hem Zara jeans, an opshop find.

The necklace doesn't have any pink in it but I liked the simplicity of it against the textures white tee and the pastel orange was a nice colour worn with the pastel pink jeans.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, beaded necklace, textured white tee, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. 

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, textured white tee and shorts, pink frayed hem jeans and jumper, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and packing up for and driving the boys to camp in the evening.

Of course by the time we left for camp I'd swapped the light floral waterfall jacket for a cosier hoodie, but during the day this light jacket was all I needed. I liked the bright burst of colour it added to the monochromatic grey tee and black skinny jeans outfit. The turquoise wooden necklace and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag were nice accessories to add a little more colour too.


Last worn: magenta floral waterfall jacket, turquoise beaded necklace, grey tunic tee, Jeanswest black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: magenta floral waterfall jacket and shorts, grey tunic tee and skirt, Jeanswest black skinny jeans and blazer,  Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

Pink Jeans, Grey Tees and Cocoon Cardigans

Two pink jeans and grey tee outfits for back in autumn, when the milder weather meant I just needed to layer with these cocoon cardigans. Both of them are opshop finds!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this to volunteer at my local polling place for Election day, serving up sausages at the sausage sizzle! If you're not Australian you might not know most polling places have a BBQ, maybe even some baking, to fundraise for community groups. It was my first time volunteering on election day, although obviously not my first sausage sizzle, and it went well! Was good to contribute to democracy sausages!

I was very conscious I didn't want to dress in any of the political party colours but with the grey tee and the black cocoon cardigan this outfit needed a little colour. These magenta Sass and Bide jeans were the perfect pop. I added a little matching magenta with the marble necklace, and another shade of pink with the Converse. I really liked how this outfit came together, although I ended up taking the knit off quite early in the morning as it turned into a really warm day.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, marble necklace, grey tee, magenta jeans, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans with blue, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

This was not as fun a day! I was quite busy as Cooper had surgery so I had to take him to the vets and pick him up afterwards. Along with this the kids had school, sports in the evening and I was also working from home. Thankfully the surgery went well! I dressed comfortably, jeans and tee is a go-to for working from home in cooler weather, and the pink leopard print cocoon cardigan kept me cosy. Just like the outfit above, I went with pink jeans again to add a little more colour. These are an opshop find, and although they are a lighter pink, a grey tee goes with everything! 

I wore my Chloe Paddington bag again, I've been carrying it a lot lately, and with such a busy day I didn't want the hassle of changing bags so just kept using this one, although when juggling Cooper in my arms I did wish I'd picked a lighter bag, maybe a crossbody one!


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded tassel necklace, grey tunic tee, pink skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan with purple, grey tunic tee and shorts, pink skinny jeans and blazer, white Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Chloe Paddington in second trimester.

Maxi Skirts, Grey Tees and Denim Jackets

Maxi skirts, grey tees and denim jackets with my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag for some work from home days with the school run and a few errands.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I got this red printed maxi skirt out! An opshop find from years ago, I hit 30 wears with it pretty quickly and since then often pass it up in favour of those I haven't gotten so many wears with. It was definitely overdue another wear, and good to get it out to ass some colour to this dark grey tee.

It was nice and comfortable for working from home too, and the statement necklace I felt dressed up the grey tee a little for video calls. I added the denim jacket for the morning dog walk, and also needed it for the school run. I had to pick my son up early from school to take him to an appointment in the city. The Converse were good for all that driving, and my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag fits the essentials plus my latest small library read for sitting in the waiting room.


Last worn: denim jacket, wooden statement necklace, grey tee, red printed maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and orange skirt, grey tee and shorts, red printed maxi skirt worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and maxi skirt outfit for working from home, with the same denim jacket and Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag. Did swap out my black Converse for some pink ones though for the school run and a quick errand in the afternoon.

When I put this outfit together I felt it was a bit pink. With the pink Converse, the pink floral print in the skirt, and the pink back panel on this tee, I went with a blue beaded necklace to try bring some blue into this outfit. It's so funny as looking at the photos I definitely feel it's more a blue than a pink outfit! The pink panel on the back of the tee is hidden, but even so I thought a pink bag with this would have been too much so I went with the blue 5-zip again. It's funny sometimes how different outfits seem when I'm wearing them compared to the photographs I take of them! Either way, I liked this outfit, I was just surprised I remembered it being so pink heavy when it's clearly not in the photo!


Last worn: denim jacket (above), grey tee, blue beaded necklace, floral print maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and plain skirt, grey tee and shorts, floral print maxi skirt and winter knit, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and dress.

Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Chloe Bags

Two plain tee and maxi skirt outfits, topped with denim jackets and accessorised with Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for working from home, with sports for the kids in the evenings. I like wearing maxi skirts as it is an extra cover on my legs from the inevitable mossie attack - no matter how much bug spray I cover myself in, ha!

This copper toned tee is really autumnal with the ochre orange maxi skirt. I like wearing this skirt with rust and red and burgundy shades, so I really loved this outfit. Especially with the brown Converse, gold statement necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag. It all felt perfect for a cooler autumn day.

Surprisingly it's the first time I've shared this denim jacket on the blog, a Christmas gift from the annual pre-Christmas opshopping day. It's a nice relaxed fit and will be perfect for layering under when the winter weather arrives here shortly in Brisbane.


Last worn: clay earrings, copper tee, circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: copper tee and skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, brown Converse and animal print, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a mixed day, with the Anzac parade and ceremony in the morning (my boys were marching in the parade) and then a playdate for my son in the afternoon. Despite the rainy weather it wasn't too cold so I went for this maxi skirt to be neither over or underdressed for either occasion. I like the tie dye print on the skirt, although it's the first time I've worn this grey tee with it! I like pairing it with greys and neutrals so it was nice to give this combination a try.

I went with my Chloe Marcie bag to store all our water bottles plus the essentials, and then I chose this rose gold necklace. It's definitely not the true gold shade of the hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, but I like pairing different metals together, and thought this was a good accessory pair.


Last worn: stud earrings, denim jacket, rose gold necklace, grey tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, grey tee and jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Grey Tees With Green And Denim Skirts

Two grey tee and denim skirt outfits for the school run and WFH days, both featuring grey and green with colourful printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was an exciting day for my son with an excursion he'd been really looking forward to. Unfortunately his brother still had school, so I had a couple of drop offs to coordinate before working from home and then arranging different pick ups in the afternoon. They both had a good day though!

I wanted to be comfortable so I went with a tee and denim combination, as I seem to be defaulting to a lot for working from home days lately! As it was a little chilly in the autumn morning I added this green floral print duster. It brightens the grey tee and grey denim skirt combination nicely, as does the fun colourful tassel necklace. I also liked the extra physical sunblock it provided when I was outside in the afternoon.

The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty is one I've worn with this green floral duster a lot, I like the blue and green together.

Last worn: green floral duster, tassel necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, grey tee and printed skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket:  thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and doing the school run, another grey tee and denim skirt combination! As you can see in the first outfit, I have no issue pairing different shades of grey together, and I like wearing multiple different shades of blue in my outfits. I thought I'd try something a little different with this outfit and wear different shades of green. The light olive denim skirt is a very different shade from the bright almost neon green in the pam print cover up, but I think the colours looked good together with the blue in the print between them.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with another grey tee, and the little metallic silver mini MAC bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, grey tee, feather necklace, olive denim skirt, Havaianas (above), metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive denim skirt with yellow, metallic silver mini MAC and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Grey Tees and Black and White Printed Maxi Skirts

Two different grey tee outfits, both with black and white maxi skirts. The first outfit is a little more colourful than the second outfit as I added some pink. Pink always looks good with neutrals, in any shade.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

When I put on this grey tee with the pink back panel I thought it would add a nice touch of colour to this black and white vertical striped maxi skirt. But then I decided the outfit needed a little more pink and started adding pink accessories. The pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and the pink bracelet stack and the pink beaded necklace don't match the bright pink panel on the tee at all, but I actually liked all the different shades with this. Neutrals like grey and black and white are a nice excuse to try add some differently coloured accessories, and it's nice there were all in the pink family.

Wore this for a quiet day, with the school run and working from home.

Last worn: grey tee with pink panel, pink beaded necklace, bracelet stack, vertical stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: grey tee with pink panel and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee with pink panel in third trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and black and white maxi skirt outfit. This grey tee is a bit darker, and with the black and white maxi skirt again I decided to add a little colour. This darker geometric beaded necklace seemed like a nice touch of colour with all the neutrals. I liked the longer sleeves on this tee to keep me warm in the colder aircon too.

Comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect with this and I liked the matchy-matchy with the black and white skirt. My son had surgery and an overnight stay in the hospital. I had an overnight bag packed, but the big Louis Vuitton Neverfull was perfect for a few things to entertain him and myself in the wait before surgery for him and the during surgery wait for me.

I wore this a couple weeks ago, he's at home now and healing well.


Last worn: grey tunic tee, geometric beaded necklace, black and white maxi skirt, black Converse, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic tee and jeans, black and white maxi skirt with pink, black Converse and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Note: we are in the direct path of Cyclone Alfred, this is a pre-scheduled post. We had time to prepare our home the best we could, and I have a few posts scheduled as I don't know what the impact will have been as I type this.

Orange and Grey Tee and Skirt Outfits With Yellow Bag

Two different outfits, even though they both feature skirts, tees, and grey orange and yellow colours together.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Wanted something comfortable to wear for a day of working from home, with an outing to the vets for the dogs, the school run, and sports in the evening. Maxi skirts are great for evening sports as the long length is a bit of a physical blocker for mozzies, although I do liberally apply bug spray too!

I really liked this grey tee with the ochre orange of the maxi skirt, I thought it was a really nice combination. It's not the first time I've worn grey with this orange skirt, but it is the first time I've worn this particular tee with the skirt. Definitely something I'll need to wear again.

I added the yellow mini 5-zip bag as I thought it was a fun pop of colour with the neutral grey tee, and I like it against the orange skirt as well.


Last worn: grey tee, bronze foil necklace, ochre maxi skirt, tan slides, yellow mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tee and midi skirt, ochre maxi skirt and denim jacket, tan slides and jeans, yellow mini 5 zip bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Another tee and skirt outfit for working from home, with the school run and a playdate in the afternoon. This time around I went with an orange tee and a grey distressed denim skirt, and again I wore my little yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-zip bag. Although it's the same basic formula I like how different this outfit looked.

I really like this distressed denim skirt, it was an opshop find. It goes so well with any tees, and I like the fun neon leopard print one with it. Just like in the first outfit, I find the yellow mini 5-zip bag is a nice pop of colour against the neutral grey. Although the orange in this outfit is much brighter than in the skirt, it still pairs so nicely as well.


Last worn: earrings, leopard tee, yellow pendant necklace, grey denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard tee and jeans, grey denim skirt with purple, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip bag and dress.
