Maxi Skirts And Denim Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing two recent outfits I wore for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, layering up my maxi skirts a little to make them more suitable for the autumn weather with a couple of denim jackets. I accessorised both outfits with my little Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag, despite the differences in the colours in both outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Kelly's Kloset rainbow layered necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

It was quite a chilly morning so I was pleased when the day warmed up a bit - I'd been regretting the decision not to wear a scarf on the school run, but thankfully it was a bit warmer at school pickup in the afternoon! Was a nice quiet day - the usual school run with the kids and working from home. I felt it was time to give one of my maxi skirts another wear, I'd worn a lot of jeans over autumn! But before winter set in it was good to get another skirt out. The denim jacket was a nice layer for it, particularly after the day warmed up!

Like the black space dye tee, the ochre maxi skirt was an opshop find too. They pair so nicely together I'm surprised I hadn't worn them together before! And with the white print on the tee I knew the white denim jacket would be the perfect topper. The Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag doesn't match anything in the outfit but I like blue with orange and I feel this shade of blue goes with everything!


Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, space dye tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and little black dress, space dye tee and printed jeans, ochre maxi skirt and band tee, white Converse and midi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a really windy day! I had such a hard time trying to get a photo of my outfit in the morning - and I have quite a few outtakes of me dashing towards the camera when a big gust of wind came just as I pressed the button to snap a pic, worried my tripod was going to fall over! Despite the wind it wasn't really that cold though. The scarf was a necessity to keep me cosy, but I didn't need any more layers than that and the denim jacket.

Again the kids had school and I had to work from home, with a quick doctor's appointment in the morning. My doctor was wearing a maxi skirt as well! Unlike the outfit above, there's a bit of blue in this outfit with the blueish grey of the tunic tee and the blue moto denim jacket. I thought the Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag, while not a perfect match for any of the blue tones, was a great accessory with this and of course it could fit my current library book read to pass the time in the waiting room!


Last worn: moto denim jacket, pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf, grey tunic, black maxi skirt, Adidas superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and jeans, pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf and chambray dress, grey tunic and culottes, black maxi skirt and pink tee, Adidas superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts can work in autumn before it gets too cold! Layer them up a little with a denim jacket, and add a scarf if it's a much cooler day.

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklace, dark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and denim skirt, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, magenta jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Chloe Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Green Floral Prints and Grey Tees With Black Studded Tote Bag

Sometimes my outfit posts are two very similar outfits that follow the same formula. Other times, like today's post, it's just me trying to find some kind of similarity in what I wore so I can group them together for a post! Sharing two green floral print, grey tee and skirt outfits, two very different looks with very different pieces.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Another busy day! My son had a specialist appointment which lucky for him meant he missed a little bit of school that morning. We headed into the city - unfortunately with all the traffic - in the morning, and then I dropped him off at school and worked from home for a bit before school pickup in the afternoon.

I was determined to try this midi skirt with something other than Converse - these little black ballet flats were cute, although maybe not the best for driving with my knee injury, and matched the black statement necklace nicely. Both the skirt and necklace are recent opshop finds. I wasn't quite sure if this grey tunic top worked with the green midi skirt - maybe too relaxed a style with it, I went back and forth a few times but in the end I liked this outfit, I'm glad I gave it a try! A grey tee really does go with anything!


Last worn: grey tunic, black multi strand necklace, green floral midi skirt, ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: grey tunic and printed shorts, green floral midi skirt and Converse, ballet flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ballet flats in second trimester.

Opshop Haul - What I Thrifted In February

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

Couldn't resist getting another wear of my Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer tee to the vaccination centre! Took the boys back for their second vaccine dose. I was feeling a lot better than when we took them for their first one back at the start of the year, when I was still recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery.

We had a trip to the library that day too so I added this green floral print duster to my outfit to keep me warm in the cold aircon in both places. It's not the same shade of green as the text on the tee but I love this duster with grey tees! And with the grey tee, black denim skirt, black Converse, and black tote bag, it was a very monochromatic outfit without that pop of colour from the kimono! The black tote bag was a must though, for carrying snacks, water bottles, and a little post-vaccination lolly for the kids. They were very brave.

Last worn: green floral duster, grey Pfiiiiizer tee, turquoise pendant necklace, distressed denim skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and graphic tee, grey Pfiiiiizer tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

The outfits above would work with any colourful printed piece you're not too confident about wearing. Any colour looks great with a grey tee! It's the best wardrobe basic!

Colourful Cardigans With Monochrome Jeans and Tee Outfits, Scarves and Mimco Button Bag

What I wore for celebrating the end of our 3 day lockdown in Brisbane at the start of July to enjoy what was left of the school holidays and get out with the kids. Kept my outfits simple and monochromatic with jeans and a tee. Even wore monochromatic scarves too, and a real wardrobe oldie with my black Mimco button bag. Added some colour with cardigans as I just can't seem to do a full neutral outfit without adding a bit of colour!

What I wore:

Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl in black and white Pretty Floral print
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

After a little uncertainty, we were so pleased when lockdown was lifted the evening before and my son was able to compete in his sports tournament as planned. Even if all the parents and spectators had to sit outside and peer into the sports hall from the doorway to make sure everyone met the post lockdown indoor space restrictions 😅

Despite having to sit far away it was so good to see him competing and my bright mustard cardigan ensured my son could spot me in the crowd. I wasn't expecting to have to sit outside so I was pleased this was just the right outfit for it. The cardigan wasn't too heavy when the sun came out, but it and my scarf kept me warm when the sun hid behind the clouds. And luckily no rain too! Turned out to be such a good morning, so pleased they were able to still run the event.

I liked using my big Mimco button bag again! The 25th anniversary of Mimco had me thinking about my button bag again - this is one of the original styles, I bought it in 2007 when I was at uni. Was so thrilled when I bought it, it was a craze for a few years and they were everywhere in Australia. Still see them around now and then, although mostly the newer, smaller version of this style. This one you wouldn't know is over 14 years old! It's in great condition, I should wear it more!


Last worn: mustard earrings, mustard cardigan, grey v-neck tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, grey v-neck tee worn 30 ways, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, Mimco black button bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey v-neck tee in second trimester.

What Fits Inside: Mimco Button Bag From 2007

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Top: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

Very similar to the outfit above. Again, a monochromatic jeans and tee outfit with a black and white printed scarf and a colourful cardigan. This purple one isn't as bright as the mustard yellow one above, but it still adds the perfect amount of colour to this outfit. With the different shades of grey in the tee and the skinny jeans, the purple cardigan was the perfect topper. And with no other prints I could wear this fun contrasting striped scarf for a bit of an instant print mix without it clashing with anything.

Thankfully one of the workshops I'd booked in advance for the kids went ahead despite a lot of other school holiday activities I'd planned for the week being cancelled as soon as lockdown was announced, even though it was just for 3 days. Because it was still on after lockdown was lifted we had a pretty fun day. The kids got to make their own light up DIY aquariums in a jar which look really cute! These are kind of similar. We even managed a little play time in the playground before the rain arrived that afternoon which was perfect.

Again I wore my Mimco button bag - it seemed the obvious choice with the neutrals and it fits snacks and water bottles and the essentials nicely.

Last worn: purple cocoon cardigan, grey tunic, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, New Balance sneakers, Mimco black button bag (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it was a Christmas gift.

Other ways to wear: purple cocoon cardigan and skater dress, grey tunic and shorts, grey skinny jeans and leopard print, Mimco black button bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cocoon cardigan in second trimester.

How You can Wear It:

Layering in winter gives you lots of fun options for accessorising. A colourful cardigan can add a burst of brightness to a monochrome jeans and tee outfit, and a printed scarf adds some extra interest and a little warmth.

Navy and Green Kimono Outfits With Grey Tees And Micro Bedford Bag

Another Wednesday post! I'm still not back to my regular 3 times a week posting I was pre-pandemic as I just don't get out of loungewear that many times a week yet! But I wanted to share two outfit posts this week, and on Friday I'll have my special annual gift guide post.

Two outfits with similar colour schemes and outfit formulas, but both look very different despite featuring navy kimonos, grey tees, green and the same little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

Simple jeans and tee outfit for a busy day with the school run, working from home, and an appointment for my son in the afternoon. The grey tee and the green jeans are a combination I've worn a few times in the past, but I couldn't resist changing it up a little bit this time with the navy tie dye kimono on top. I thought it went nicely with the green jeans and it was a fun bit of match-matchy with the navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag, and the navy Havaianas.

I really liked this outfit - nice and comfortable and practical for working from home and rushing around between school pickup and the afternoon appointment. I was glad I'd picked jeans to wear as the wind really picked up in the afternoon and it was actually a bit chilly on our way home from the appointment!

Last worn: tie dye kimono, marble station necklace, dark grey tee, green skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye kimono and shorts, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, green skinny jeans with mustard, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in third trimester.

Review and First Impressions: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! Just like the first outfit, it was a grey tee with green and a navy kimono, and that little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag. This time around though it was olive shorts instead of jeans, as the weather had warmed up a lot. The navy floral print kimono adds even more colour too, as does the green beaded necklace.

I thought that this grey tunic would go nicely with the pull on olive shorts - while they are both very relaxed fits I like the casualness of the outfit with the two loose pieces together, and I felt the long line of the kimono pulled it together a bit more to stop it looking too messy. Again I really liked this outfit! After the school drop off in the morning we went for a walk along our fave trail. Walking around the water was not the smartest idea after the storms that weekend though, especially when I forgot to put on mozzie repellent! I was bitten so much, ended up walking around a lot quicker than normal trying to stop my legs getting bitten 😂

Our grocery order was due to arrive the next day but I'd run out of some things for lunchboxes and it wouldn't arrive early enough in the morning, so had to go for a quick grocery shop after. Was nice to cool off my multiple bug bites in the air conditioning! And I took the opportunity to have a little browse of the shopping centre for some more Christmas gifts as well. I've purchased most of my Christmas gifts (I want to be really organised this year with all the online orders slowing down the postal service a little) but there's always a few extra things to buy!

Last worn: navy duster kimono, green beaded necklace, grey tunic tee, olive embroidered shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford (above).
 
Other ways to wear: navy duster kimono and skater dress, grey tunic tee and pencil skirt, olive embroidered shorts and printed tank, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford and floral dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and green is a colour combo that should definitely be seen! It's easy to pair any shade of green with navy, as you can see here with the forest green and the olive working well against the navy kimonos.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Grey Tees, Blue Maxis And Blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Bag

For today's weekday wear linkup, I'm sharing two outfits with my go-to pink and blue colour combination, taking blue maxis and adding grey tees and a blush pink bag. The first outfit is with a maxi dress and the second a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very busy Friday! I wanted something simple and comfortable to wear that morning so decided to layer up this blue maxi dress with a grey tee to dress it down a little for what I anticipated to be a quiet day with the school run. Until, running late for school, I went to zip up my son's lunch bag and realised it had broken and wouldn't zip up and so wouldn't keep his food cool. Luckily managed to find a replacement one for him to use for the day, but it then meant spending far too long walking around the local Westfield shopping centre hunting for a replacement lunchbox. Of course at halfway through the last term for the year there was not a lot of choice! Luckily I managed to find one in the end, that my son approved of when I picked him up from school. Phew!

I did like this outfit - the knotted tee looked good with the navy printed maxi dress and because the tee has a pink panel on the back I decided to wear my Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren bag with it, even though they are different shades of pink I think they compliment nicely. Stuck with simple silver accessories to match the hardware on the bag with the silver necklace and ballet flats.

Last worn: grey colour block tee, silver circle necklace, navy printed maxi dress, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag.

Other ways to wear: grey colour block tee and printed shorts, navy printed maxi dress and kimono, silver ballet flats and a-line skirt, Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey colour block tee in third trimester, navy printed maxi dress in second trimester, silver ballet flats in third trimester.

---

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

---

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit, but this time it's a grey tee with a printed blue maxi skirt. I surprisingly hadn't worn this tee and skirt together before, seems like such an obvious pairing with the neutral grey tee and the colourful floral print skirt. Again with the Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag as it matches the pink florals so nicely! And I picked another necklace with silver hardware to match the bag too. I was wearing simple but comfortable sandals (not that you can see them with the skirt caught in the breeze...).

This was another day of traipsing around the shops after school drop off - although a planned one, as it happened before the day above! Haven't been to the shops in weeks and suddenly went twice in one week! I again masked up to visit a few different stores in an effort to track down a bike for my son's Christmas. Thankfully despite the bike shortages we were able to find one, and I ticked off a few more purchases off my list. Really want to be organised in advance for Christmas this year as postage can be slow as we get closer to December!

Last worn: dark grey tee, navy tassel necklace, floral print maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: dark grey tee worn 30 ways, floral print maxi skirt and pink tee, studded sandals in monochrome outfit, Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, studded sandals in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A grey tee is such a nice basic neutral, perfect for pairing with a printed piece in your outfit. Just like blue and grey, blue and pink go together beautifully too so a pink bag is a great way to accessorise a blue and grey outfit.

30 Ways To Wear: Dark Grey V-Neck Tee

Time for another 30 ways to wear post! Every month I pick something from my wardrobe I've worn 30 times or more and create a new post in this monthly series showing you some of the ways I've worn it. I hope to inspire you to think of more ways to rewear the pieces you own in your wardrobe, as I was inspired when I first heard of the 30 wears challenge in The True Cost documentary.

This month, it's this dark grey v-neck tee in charcoal. It was one of the pieces I first thought of back when I started this series, as I was sure I would have worn it 30 times, but I've only just managed to hit that figure this year, and that's with some pretty frequent rewearing recently. Still, if I had to pick, I'd say this is my favourite grey tee.

30 Ways To Wear: Dark Grey V-Neck Tee

Cost Per Wear

I bought this tee back in July 2013! Thanks to my order email from The Iconic I know it was a $30 tee reduced to $12 in the sale and then I had an extra discount voucher for my order so it worked out to just $9.48. At 30 wears to date that's 32 cents a wear. Pretty good cost per wear I think! Obviously, having this tee pre-kids and during my pregnancies and now after having my kids, it doesn't fit quite the same as it used to 7 years ago! However it is still super soft, stretchy and although it's maybe not quite as slouchy a fit as it was before I love how comfortable it is. I plan to wear this until it falls apart.

The other, lighter, grey tee I bought in the same order I've already done a 30 wears post on too. It was a good sale shop back then as I still have 3 of the 4 things I ordered and I've now hit 30 wears on 2 of them!

I think the reason it's taken me 7 years to reach 30 wears with this tee was a combination of not wanting baby spit up on my fave tee when the kids were younger, along with the habit I'm trying to stop of "saving" pieces in my wardrobe and feeling they are too good to wear on ordinary days. I've been really enjoying wearing this tee so much recently, in an effort to finally hit 30 wears with it and acknowledge its awesomeness in a post! So let's see the ways I've worn it!

Dark Grey Tee in Monochrome Outfits

I find true monochrome outfits really tricky to do, as I can never resist adding a little pop of colour with an accessory! I do like wearing this grey tee with other shades of grey and black for a monochrome look - before I start adding colourful pieces on top!

Dark Grey Tee In Layered Winter Outfits

This darker grey tee layers so well in winter - it's a neutral shade that goes with any layers I might add on top without clashing, and darker colours seem so perfectly suited for cold days! As you can see in these pics it works with all the extra winter layers with jackets, scarves an cardigans well.

Dark Grey Tee In Outfits With Colourful Statement Pieces

Of course it's not just winter layers that this dark tee works with! If you have a dark tee it's a nice outfit base to pair with some other bright statement pieces, even in warmer weather. Like over a floral dress, with neon pink accessories, a yellow kimono, cobalt leather jacket or leopard print pants! This neutral tee is a nice grounding piece to add when you're wearing one or more bright statement pieces in your outfit.

Grey Tee With Red Pieces In An Outfit

There are a few colour pairings I keep coming back to with this grey tee so I wanted to call them out specifically. Grey and red is a fun combination, and as you can see you can add little touches of red with accessories or go all out with a red cardigan or maxi skirt. Even burgundy and deep red shades, like those skinny jeans, work well with a dark grey tee.

Grey Tee Outfits With Green

Green is a colour I've been trying to wear more lately and no matter the shade - olive or bright emerald green - I find it a little tricky to wear. Like any colour you're unsure how to wear, you can pair it with a plain grey tee! It just works!

Grey Tee and Skirt Outfits

This combination is another one I keep coming back to with this grey tee - pairing it with a printed skirt! Maxi skirts are obviously my favourite here, with 3 out of 4 outfits featuring it, but it works well with pencil skirts too and shorter length skirts like you've seen above.

Grey Tee and Baby Bump Outfits

I've been lucky enough to have this tee for both my pregnancies with my boys and I took full advantage of the comfortable stretchy material, wearing it right into the third trimester! It was a simple outfit for work with a pencil skirt, or as you saw above too without the bump, a nice easy casual outfit on a hot day with a maxi skirt. It's one of those non-maternity pieces that work so well in a pregnancy wardrobe!
