Grey and Pink: Tees and Printed Jeans

Another grey tee post! In the final month of #6monthsWithoutShopping, I'm often feeling uninspired and picking something to wear and create outfits from like my grey tees or graphic tees is a good way for me to come up with outfits. Grey and pink is a colour combination I like to wear often, and both these outfits with my printed jeans show that nicely.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peri drape sleeveless jacket (on sale!)

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale, 20% off!)

Why I wore it:

Starting to get a little too chilly now for short sleeves - winter weather has arrived in Brisbane. It was a milder day when I wore this though and I didn't need any extra layers. Had a busy morning with baby boy's weekly weigh and a doctors appointment and then spent some time with my mum and sister in the afternoon.

While I have tried wearing other prints with these fun Sass & Bide printed jeans, my favourite way to wear them is with plain basics like this grey tee. The monochrome outfit felt a little dull until I added the pink vest for a bit of colour, along with the bright teething necklace.

These chevron print jeans were perfect to meet Shea's Live Your Best Life for Less style challenge prompt of 'printed bottoms' too.


Last worn: pink vest, grey v-neck tee, chevron print jeans, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: pink vest worn two ways, grey v-neck tee and red kimono, chevron print jeans worn 2 ways, black ballet flats and pleated skirt, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee and maternity pencil skirt, black ballet flats and maternity wrap dress, mini MAC and maternity dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop

Tee: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this to go to my local ABA mother's group. As it was a little cooler and raining on this day, I wanted something long sleeved so had a rummage through my box of winter things. This grey tee is one I've pulled back from the donate pile before. It's got zips on either side of the hem (that you can kind of see in the second photo) but I still worried it was a little dull for winter. I'm glad I kept it around as it pairs well with other brighter colours to make winter layering easy!

The pink leopard print jeans are always fun to wear, and met Shea's Live Your Best Life for Less style challenge of 'leopard spring brights' with just one item. Even though it's winter here in Australia, I've had fun with the prompts as I can usually find something that matches to wear in the cold. It's no secret I like pink and purple together, so the purple bag seemed like a good choice, especially when worn with the teething necklace.


Last worn: grey zip detail long sleeve tee, pink leopard print jeans, gold mouse flats, purple mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey long sleeve tee and shorts, pink leopard print jeans and graphic tee, gold mouse flats and printed dress, purple mini MAB tote bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: loose tee hiding an early baby bump, mouse flats and maternity wrap dress, purple mini MAB tote and maxi dress in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A grey tee is a great wardrobe basic, but your outfits don't have to be basic when you wear it! Try adding more interest with a pair of printed pants, or a scarf. A grey tee is a great pairing with a statement printed piece like leopard print. You can also add another layer, like the pink vest, for a little colour pop against the grey tee.

Grey Tees Two Ways: Neutral and Colourful Denim Outfits with Silver Accessories

A grey tee is one of those staple wardrobe pieces to me. While I've cut down from 14 to 7 grey tees, I still think they are a wardrobe must-have. Especially as a stay at home mum, where a grey tee and blue jeans is a frequently repeated outfit.

The beauty of a grey tee is that it works with colourful pieces or with a monochrome outfit equally well, and you can see that in the outfits below.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale, 20% off!)

Why I wore it:

Was a little unsure what to wear on this day, had a playdate in the park with some new mum friends I'd met online. I figured a bright and colourful outfit would be easiest to be noticed for meeting up, so picked the purple jeans. I saw the pink blazer hanging up in my wardrobe when trying to put and outfit together and just had to wear that too. I really like pink and purple together. With all of the colour, the grey tee was the perfect neutral to sit in between.

The metallic silver mini MAC bag and ballet flats were great neutral accessories with the colourful outfit too. The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was that it turned into a really hot day. I quickly took the blazer off and after an hour in the park I was regretting the choice to wear jeans! The grey tee has a pink back too so I was still wearing pink and purple even without the blazer.


Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, blush pink blazer, grey colourblock tee, purple skinny jeans, metallic ballet flats, silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: blush pink blazer and LBD, colourblock tee and printed shorts, purple skinny jeans in spring, metallic ballet flats and chambray skirt, silver mini MAC bag and pink vest.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer and third trimester office wear, colourblock grey tee in third trimester, mini MAC and maxi dress in second trimester.

More Metallic Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bags:

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Wilma teething necklace in pale daffodil
Tee: Atmos&Here grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves (also in black)
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale, 20% off!)

Why I wore it:

Same silver bag and shoes, but a different grey tee and a more monochromatic neutral outfit with only a little colour through the floral print on the kimono and the yellow teething necklace. It shows you how versatile these silver accessories are, that they work equally well with  neutrals and brights. Some people prefer gold over silver, but no matter your metal preference I think a metallic bag is a must-have, just as much as a grey tee!

This was a nice easy outfit for playgroup. While not as colourful as the pink and purple outfit above, I did like wearing this and thought the touches of yellow with the kimono and necklace were just enough colour with the black and grey. I wore the kimono to meet the #LBLforLess style challenge prompt of 'favourite floral' - it's frequently worn and easily my favourite floral piece! The jeans were also nice to wear, didn't overheat in this as it wasn't such a hot day thankfully.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), floral kimono, Atmos&Here grey tee, black Prima skinny jeans, silver ballet flats (above), Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: floral kimono in summer with fitted tank, Atmos&Here grey tee and shorts, black Prima skinny jeans and leather jacket, silver ballet flats and pink leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and striped maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral kimono and maternity shorts, grey tee for second trimester travel, skinny jeans and belly band with an early bump, silver mini MAC and maxi dress in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A grey tee is a wardrobe staple - it works so well with jeans, but you don't have to restrict it to just blue jeans. Try a colourful outfit with pinks and purple, or go neutral with black and grey. I've even worn a classic grey tee to the office with a blazer and pencil skirt - they really are a versatile must-have! Want more outfit inspiration? All the ways I've worn a grey tee.

Grey V-Neck Tees and Striped Maxi Skirts | #6MonthsWithoutShopping Update 4

Four months completed of #6MonthsWithoutShopping has meant I've had those days where I'm completely uninspired and don't know what to wear. When that happens I try to find something I haven't worn in a while, like these grey tees. To stay away from the blue denim rut, I picked striped maxi skirts to wear with them rather than jeans.

I'm just as surprised as you are that I still haven't bought any clothes or accessories for 4 months! I have been doing something else with those rare moments I get to myself where I'd usually shop, so will be sharing more about that soon. I'm pleased I'm doing so well with the challenge though, 2 months to go!

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace

Tee: Oscar's Law 'Break the puppy trade' tee
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Nails: OPI Russian Navy

Why I wore it:

Not the first time I've worn this tee with a striped maxi skirt, I really like the combination. It was a quiet day when I wore this, just going to Baby Boy's weekly weigh appointment.

I felt that the grey tee and black and white maxi skirt were a bit dull so added some bright accessories with the teething necklace and yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

The text on the tee reads "Break the puppy trade and don't buy the lie" and it supports Oscar's Law. If you're a return visitor to the blog you'll have seen the banner on the right and know it's a cause I support. Don't buy puppies from pet shops!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Oscar's Law tee, black and white striped maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: Oscar's Law tee and jeans, black and white striped maxi skirt worn 30 ways, studded sandals and chambray, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and spring layers.

What I wore:

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace

Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Nails: OPI Russian Navy

Why I wore it:

I wore this grey tee and striped maxi skirt outfit to spend the day with my sister. Just like the outfit above, I picked exactly the same accessories to add more colour to the outfit. I think grey and yellow is a nice colour combination so the yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag was again the perfect choice.

This grey tee hasn't been worn for a while either! Last time I wore it (over 6 months ago) I wore it with a plain maxi skirt, and the same accesories. The plain grey tee is a great backdrop for a bright necklace or bag. It's one of my favourites too, although I do wear it sparingly and this is only it's 12th wear in the 3 and a half years since I bought it! I want to be sure it will last and not overwear it to pieces.


Last worn: grey v-neck tee, white stripe maxi skirt, slim gold Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan (above).

Other ways to wear: grey tee announcing a pregnancy, white stripe maxi skirt in the third trimester, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and chambray dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts are a great alternative to jeans that allow you to stay away from the blue denim mummy style rult! They provide the same coverage and are just as comfortable to wear when running around after a toddler (or in my case, two!). A striped maxi skirt and grey tee is an easy outfit for those 'I don't know what to wear' days.

Blue Kimonos, Tees and Denim Shorts with Neon Pink Bag | #6MonthsWithoutShopping Update 3

First, I'm so happy to report that month 3 of my #6MonthsWithoutShopping challenge is done, and I've bought nothing. Still sticking to my challenge. I did buy a hair curler but as beauty and makeup/skincare products are exempt I'm not counting that.

The hardest temptation for me this month was a mustard yellow cardigan in my size for $2 in an opshop. I've been wearing a lot of mustard lately with my little mustard Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag so have been wanting more of it. But I left it behind. Even though I keep thinking about it!


Now, what I've been wearing. One colour combination I'll always come back to is blue and pink. Neon, pastels or any shade in-between, I just love the colours together.

The outfits below are really simple with denim shorts and basic tees. Adding a bright handbag and printed kimono creates a little more interest and makes the outfits less plain. Kimonos are a perfect completer pieces for an outfit, even in hot weather.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Edited floral and bird print kimono

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey, 25% off with code 'YAY25')
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (on sale!)
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (on sale!)
Nails: OPI Rich Girls and Po Boys

Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for playgroup, and then a quick stop at the post office in the afternoon to mail some more ebay parcels.

Shorts and a tee is a great warm weather playgroup outfit, and it's what the boys wore too. Adding the printed kimono and bright bag made my outfit a little more colourful and fun. Although the kimono has red in the print instead of pink, I really liked the neon against the navy background. Just like last time I paired the two together.

Cooper wasn't in the mood for photos this morning and tried to hide away - you can see him peeking out in my instgram photo too.


Last worn: printed kimono, black tee, bermuda denim shorts, studded sandals, neon pink mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono worn two ways, black tee and printed jeans, bermuda denim shorts and button up shirt, studded sandals and printed shorts, neon pink bag and olive tank.

What I wore:

Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono

Tee: Asos new forever grey tee (on sale!)
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (on sale!)
Nails: OPI Rich Girls and Po Boys

Why I wore it:

Same outfit formula as the first outfit - blue kimono, basic tee and denim shorts with a bright pink bag. I had picked the bag and kimono first, then the shorts and wasn't sure what top to choose. Went with this neutral grey tee as it's been a while since I last wore it, 7 months! Despite getting rid of a lot of grey tees I obviously still have a long way to go if it's so long between wears.  It was such a hot day I wished I'd picked something with a little less fabric, like a tank instead of this tee.

We spent the day northside visiting the emergency services expo. Although much too hot for us to enjoy walking around an unshaded park, Toddler T and Baby Boy had a fun time jumping up on all the fire engines and police cars and ambulances.


Last worn: printed kimono, grey v-neck tee, denim shorts, Havaianas, neon pink mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and graphic tee, grey v-neck tee and printed pencil skirt, denim shorts and printed tank, neon pink mini MAC bag and black skinny jeans.

Blue Printed Kimonos Under $50:

How You Can Wear It:

Add more colour to a basic shorts and tee outfit with colourful accessories like handbags and kimonos. A plain neutral tee is a great base for a bright bag and printed kimono as you don't have to worry about mixing in any more colours.

Printed Kimonos, Plain Tops and Denim Shorts with Colourful Cross Body Bags

When it's hot you really don't want to put a lot of thought into your outfit, you want something easy and light to wear. Shorts and a tee or tank is a pretty standard warm weather outfit, especially here in Brisbane.

It's still easy to add a 'completer piece' layer to your outfit without overheating if you pick a pretty printed kimono. Luckily I have lots in my wardrobe to pair with otherwise plain outfits. I wore these two outfits below during one of our summer heatwaves (which I feel I'm always going on about, but it's been so insanely hot it's been hard to think of much else!).

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Choies red vintage pattern kimono
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Wilma teething necklace in pale daffodil
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Shorts:  OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O, on sale!)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in pink, and there's a spend and save sale on now at Rebecca Minkoff!)

Why I wore it:

I took these pictures in the afternoon. I usually get photos on my way out the door in the morning as there's less chance it will be covered in something courtesy of the Baby Boy or Toddler T! It was just far too hot in the morning to want to stand outside in the sun. We moved from one airconditioned place to another trying to minimise the amount of time we spent outside. Thankfully my outfit was still presentable in the afternoon when it was a little cooler.

The grey tee and black shorts outfit was a little boring, but I really liked it with the colourful saddle bag and red printed kimono. Bright accessories are one of the tricks I use to try and hide a lack of sleep! Baby Boy has recently decided to stop sleeping through the night, and the night before this was particularly bad. I lost count of the number of wakeups at around 2.30am... I know it's just a phase and he will be back to sleeping like normal soon. That's what I'm telling myself anyway!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, printed kimono, grey tee, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and striped tank, grey tee and a baby bump, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts and pink vest, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and shirt dress.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Top: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this to run a few errands. While the peplum tank does add a nice bit of interest to a plain shorts and tank outfit, again I thought a completer piece would make the outfit better. Adding colourful accessories is always a good idea too.

You might notice that I wear this bag and kimono together a lot! I really like the pairing as the mustard yellow works so well with the floral print of the kimono. No surprise that I really liked wearing this combination again.

I wasn't too sure how the peplum tank would work with a kimono but I think it looked okay. You can see it a little better in my instagram photo. I can use filters on instagram to fix my less-than-perfect photos 😉 Ideally this time of year I'd be in the yard taking photos and making the most of the shade, but it's even messier than usual with all of the boys toys.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), Somedays Lovin' kimono, black peplum tank, Jeanswest denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: Somedays Lovin' kimono and colourful top, black peplum tank and red jeans, Jeanswest denim shorts and printed tank, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and maxi skirt.

Maxi Lengths: Dressy and Casual With Louis Vuitton Neverfull

It's no secret that I love maxi lengths even though I'm petite. I think a maxi is appropriate for almost every situation, and these two outfits illustrate that well with a formal maxi dress and a more casual maxi skirt. The Louis Vuitton neverfull tote works in multiple situations too!

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest Heather textured maxi dress in eggshell (C/O)

Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag:  Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Perfect for the 'maxi impact' instagram style challenge for SummerStyleFile, this dress was what I wore to go have our annual family Santa photo back in December. Trying to get Baby Boy, Toddler T and Cooper all happy and smiling at the camera was interesting though!

I really liked wearing this maxi dress for the photos - although I did take it off when we got home again as I figured untying it and tying it back up to breastfeed in would get too frustrating. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull and nude studded sandals made a really nice accessory combo too. It was fun wearing this dress for the first time without a baby bump, as I was pregnant the previous times I wore it!


Last worn: pastel maxi dress, studded gladiator sandals, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: pastel maxi dress and purple bag, studded gladiator sandals and denim shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull and metallic jeans.

---

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop

Tee: Atmos&Here grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves (similar in black or white)
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag:  Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

Unlike the beautiful maxi dress above, this outfit was being worn for a much more casual occasion. This is what I wore to take Baby Boy into hospital. It had been a possible course of action discussed at our last specialist appointment so we knew it may happen in advance which made it a little less scary. This was a nice causal outfit, great for settling in and meeting some of the team who would be investigating Baby Boy and supporting us during our stay.


While the goal is to share everything I wear on the blog, I won't be posting the hospital outfits. I shared them on instagram, they are basically variations of this grey tee and maxi skirt outfit!

The hospital room outfit photos aren't the usual quality I'd have for blog photos so I hope you don't mind if we skip 2 weeks of hospital style. They were a nice distraction from everything and fun to share on Instagram but I have lots of other outfits to post anyway. I'm usually 2 weeks behind with outfits but for some reason posting December outfits in January makes me feel like I'm even more behind!


Last worn: slouchy grey tee, navy stripe maxi skirt, gold Havaianas, Louis Vuitton damier Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: slouchy grey tee and black skater skirt, navy stripe maxi skirt and cross body bag, Louis Vuitton damier Neverfull and purple jeans.

Colourful Skinny Jeans and Graphic Tees with Silver Mini MAC

A little while ago I wore my purple jeans and a graphic tee. I liked the combination so much I wore a similar formula again recently. Having a large collection of jeans and a few different coloured pairs means it hasn't feel too repetitive as I wore my jeans a lot over winter.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in metallic pink!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this to go to playgroup. While we don't really celebrate Halloween in Australia, at the last minute the mums decided to have a Halloween picnic. I'd missed the email so arrived without food, but had put the boys in some of their superhero onesies for my annual Halloween photo so they were suitably dressed! I like the superhero onesies we have as they wear them outside of Halloween too.
I shared a pic on my instagram stories, it's nice to see the different "costumes" over the years. From Cooper alone to Cooper and Toddler T and now a trio with Baby Boy!

A few of the other kids were all dressed up and it made me wish I'd picked my "bones and skin" band tee to wear instead of this Oscar's Law one. With the bones on it it would have been kind of meeting the theme for the picnic. I do prefer this for feeding in though, and apart from briefly regretting that I wasn't wearing anything even even vaguely costume-like, I really enjoyed wearing this outfit.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, graphic tee, purple jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: graphic tee and a maxi skirt, purple jeans and colourful winter layers, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and an ombre dress.

Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in metallic pink!)

Why I wore it:

Bit of a busy day when I wore this, so the simple graphic tee and jeans outfit combo was perfect to help me get out the door on time. I really liked the navy tee with the red jeans, and the silver mini MAC bag goes with everything. Last time I wore this tee it was with purple jeans and I wanted to try something different this time around so the red was a nice change.

This was a comfortable outfit for a morning running errands and trying to organise a few more Christmas gifts. Spent some time with my mum in the afternoon too.
