Printed Tanks and Black Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Bag

Two printed tank outfits I wore recently for different sprint days, one for a cooler day with an extra cardigan, and another on a warmer day with just a simple tank and shorts together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

It was a colder, cloudy spring day so I pulled out another cardigan. This black cocoon cardigan is a cosy favourite, and I thought it was nice with the matching black converse, skinny jeans, and Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag. With all the black, the coral brushstroke tank really stood out. I haven't worn this tank for a while, and it was overdue a wear! 

This was a really easy and comfortable outfit as after work we had to attend a high school tour with my son. I picked the big Rebecca Minkoff tote bag as it fits all the essentials I needed plus water bottles for us as well.

Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, pearl earring, tassel necklace, brushstroke tank, wrap bracelet, faded skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, brushstroke tank and maxi skirt, faded skinny jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: brushstroke tank in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer spring day, so I didn't need the jeans or a cardigan. The humidity meant these light printed shorts were a good choice, and I thought I'd try a little print mixing with the bright tank. Although different, the prints all worked together nicely. I didn't wear a necklace as the outfit was busy enough with the prints together, and also because it was a bit too warm and humid to want to wear any extra accessories!

I worked from home after the school run, and then picked the kids up from school in the afternoon before  sports. I didn't need such a large tote bag as I wasn't carrying much, but this was a nice easy one to carry and I liked how it matched the black shorts and black sandals.


Last worn: printed tank, printed shorts, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: printed tank and mustard cardigan, printed shorts and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

Green and Blue Jeans and Tee Outfits

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

What I wore:

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

Why I wore it:

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

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

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


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

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

What I wore:

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

Why I wore it:

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

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


Last worn: navy print cover up, navy beaded necklace, grey tee, olive jeans, black strappy sandals (above), Balenciaga First bag.
 
Other ways to wear: navy print cover up with pink, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, black strappy sandals and skirt, Balenciaga First bag and shorts.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans And Colourful Blazers With Balenciaga Bags

Adding some colour and a little more formality to casual striped tee and jeans outfit for the office with these bold and colourful blazers. Both blazers are preloved finds and  they are great additions to my work wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

I've been enjoying wearing oranges and reds together. It's a very autumnal colour scheme, but this combination of the burgundy striped tee and the orange blazer was so subtle it felt like it worked well for spring. The faded black skinny jeans and the white Converse were a comfortable choice and nice neutrals, so I added a little extra colour with the Balenciaga first bag, which really pops against the orange blazer. The turquoise tassel necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with it too.

It was a quiet, mostly sitting at my desk day, so jeans and a tee was perfect for my relaxed office. I did forget to throw the blazer back on for a meeting I had, but the meeting room was quite warm so it was better I didn't have that extra layer!


Last worn: orange blazer, burgundy stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, white leather Converse, bag strap, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, burgundy stripe tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and leather jacket, white leather Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Another outfit following the same formula, showing how fun a bright blazer is even over a simple jeans and tee outfit. Again I went with a striped tee and black skinny jeans. The blue blazer, blue beaded necklace and blue Converse sneakers are all different shades but they work so well together. I can never have too many shades of blue in an outfit!

With all the black and blue, I added another bright Balenciaga bag. Like in the outfit above, I like the bright combination of the contrasting bag and blazer. And the magenta Balenciaga day bag was definitely overdue another wear, it's been a while since I last wore it!


Last worn: cobalt blue blazer, striped tee, beaded necklace, Nobody denim jeans, blue Converse, magenta Balenciaga day bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blue blazer and dress, striped tee and shorts, Nobody denim jeans and cardigan, blue Converse and dress, magenta Balenciaga day bag worn 30 ways.

Skinny jeans, Black Tops and Blazers With Mimco Mim-mazing Crossbody Bag

Two colourful blazer outfits I wore with black tops, black bags, and jeans for office days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! With the black linen blend tank and the orange blazer this outfit it might have looked a little Halloween-ish. But the burgundy jeans break that association beautifully I thought. Even though it's spring here in Brisbane I really liked the autumn colours in this outfit and I'm going to have to wear red with this orange blazer more often!

Kept the accessories simple with my little black Mimco crossbody bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers and the foil necklace. Blazer and jeans makes for a great outfit for a day working in the office, and the bright colours in this really made me smile.


Last worn: orange blazer, foil necklace, linen blend tank, burgundy jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, linen blend tank and green, burgundy jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tank: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black beaded bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets and pearl bracelets
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another bright blazer. This blue one I thrifted a while back is such a fun pop of colour against black. To let the blazer be the statement piece in my outfit I kept the rest black and white, with this black lace tank, the white skinny jeans and white Converse. Again I wore the little black Mimco crossbody bag. I felt like I could still add a little extra colour in this outfit though, so went with this fun multi coloured statement piece.

I felt comfortable in this outfit. The bright blazer was professional but still fun as I had a massive presentation to give in the office. It went well, I got good feedback. And all the special pieces in this outfit (necklace from my bestie, my mum's tank and bracelets from my friend) helped give me a bit of a confidence boost for the presentation too.


Last worn: blue blazer, beaded necklace, lace tank, white jeans, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, lace tank and leopard print, white jeans and cardigan, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt .

Yellow Bag with Pink and Floral Print Outfits

Two outfits featuring pink and floral print with my mustard yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was a really hot spring day that felt like summer, so this pastel floral print babydoll dress was the perfect outfit to wear. I added the simple braided sandals as it was much too hot for closed in shoes!

Had to take my son to a birthday party, and had a couple of errands to run and groceries to buy. I liked the simplicity of this dress for such a hot day.

With the yellow in the print of the dress, this mustard Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag was a nice matchy-matchy accessory.

Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, floral babydoll dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: floral babydoll dress and blazer, braided sandals and white dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler spring day, but still with floral print and some pink, with these pink frayed hem jeans. I thought the yellow bag would be a fun accessory with this, although it doesn't quite match the outfit like it did when I wore it with the dress. There is yellow in the floral print of my cover up, and I added more yellow with the yellow necklace, although they are different shades I thought the colours in this all worked nicely together.

I wore this simple navy tee that's been getting a lot of wear lately as I wanted a nice neutral piece to wear with all the pink and yellow. I really liked this outfit and I'm glad I was inspired to give the yellow and pink colour combination another try thanks to the dress above.


Last worn: floral print cover up, yellow necklace, navy tee, pink jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan (above).

Other ways to wear: floral print cover up, navy tee and shorts, pink jeans and blazer, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag worn 30 ways.

Blue Tees, Black Jeans and Printed Cover Ups

Two jeans and tee outfits with Converse, and Cotton On cover ups for working from home and school run days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

It was a bit of a warm day but I reached for this long sleeved cover up as I spent most of the day inside working from home. I did regret my choice of cover up at school pick up, the appointment the boys had after school was cancelled so we ended up playing in the park after school instead and I was quite warm. I did appreciate it at sports in the evening though. Despite being liberal with the bug repellent I like to have a physical barrier against the mozzies too!

I liked this blue tee with the printed waterfall jacket, as the lighter blue of the tee almost matches the lighter blue in the print of the jacket. I really like a bit of matchy-matchy!


Last worn: floral waterfall jacket, blue tee, metal necklace, black jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: floral waterfall jacket and shorts, blue tee and maxi skirt, black jeans and leather jacket, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This is a bit of a monochromatic outfit! the faded black skinny jeans with the navy tee looks very similar in shade to the navy background of the printed cover up. I liked the combination though, it created a more muted outfit. Perfect for the school run and another working from home day, with an appointment for my son after school. That was not postponed this time!

While the chevron print on the cover up is a lot brighter than the picture seems to show, I think from a distance the finer print makes it seem less colourful. I added the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little extra colour as well, and I liked the darker bag with this outfit.

Last worn: chevron print cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, skinny jeans, blue Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: chevron print cover up and pink, navy tee and shorts, skinny jeans and graphic tee, blue Converse and dress, Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

Golden Tees and Black Skinny Jeans With Chloe Ethel Bag

Two outfits I wore recently with black skinny jeans, golden tees and printed cover ups with sandals and my Chloe Ethel bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted red flat bead necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Jeans and tee for working from home, with a brief step way from my desk for the school run and a couple of errands before school pick up in the afternoon. While the gold foil tee is enough of a statement on its own, I added the red necklace for a little more colour. I felt the red and purple print on the cover up wasn't showing up against the gold tee as much as I expected, and thought the matching red would help the red in the print stand out.

I really liked this outfit! With the gold tee this little Chloe Ethel bag seemed like a good choice with its statement gold hardware being a little matchy. I added another print with the leopard sandals, but I think it's so subtle just being on a single strap of the sandals that it works with all the rest of the statement pieces in my outfit.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, Paisley print duster, beaded necklace, gold linen tee, zip detail jeans, leopard print sandals, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print duster worn 2 ways, gold linen tee worn 2 ways, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, leopard print sandals and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals 
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Not a metallic gold tee in this outfit, more of a golden yellow! Still sticking with the statement necklace, printed cover up, black skinny jeans and sandals outfit formula, again with the Chloe Ethel bag. I liked the Ethel with the brown of the leopard print cover up and mustard yellow tee. Again it was a jeans and tee outfit for working from home and the school run, and the kids had sports in the evening.

Last worn: leopard print cover up, black statement necklace, bracelet stack, mustard yellow tee, black skinny jeans, strappy sandals, Chloe Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard print cover up with pink, mustard yellow tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and cardigan, strappy sandals and skirt, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

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
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc 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 wear: Paisley 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. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Salty 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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc 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).

Other ways to wear: pink lace duster and shorts, lilac tee worn 30 ways, coated black skinny jeans and knit, black Converse and dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.

Green and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Two jeans and tee outfits I wore recently, both with green and black and accessorised with my little MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag that's become a staple lately.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Earring: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a cold weekend morning at the local markets, selling a few more things from my wardrobe. I picked this thick black cardigan to wear as well as the big navy heart print blanket scarf so I'd be cosy as it was quite windy. Sadly not a lot of people at the markets because of the cold weather, but made a few sales and covered the cost of the stall which is always good.

I was nice and warm and comfortable too, although I did end up taking the big scarf off when I ran a couple of errands after the markets as it had warmed up nicely.

Last worn: black belted cardigan, green tee, statement earrings, Stella McCartney heart print scarf, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear:  black belted cardigan and dress, green tee and skirt, Stella McCartney heart print scarf and stripes, coated denim jeans and jumper, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black belted cardigan and hidden baby bump, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Even though this outfit has green and black like the outfit above, this felt much more colourful with the brighter green jeans. Surprisingly I haven't worn these jeans with the black and white knitted poncho before which is a surprise as every colour goes with black and white! Added the grey tee to balance out the bright jeans, and also as it was a good backdrop to show off this recently thrifted necklace. Didn't need a scarf for this as I was able to wrap myself up in this knit to stay warm - it really is like a big blanket!

Perfect outfit for working from home, the school run, and a quick errand after school pick up.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana, grey tunic tee, green jeans, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana and white jeans, grey tunic tee and sequins, green jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and leopard print.
