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.

Tees, Grey Jeans, Cocoon Cardigans And Love Too Bag

Another two jeans and tee outfits with some cocoon cardigans for autumn working from home days back in May. I'm wearing my little croc embossed Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with both of these outfits, I love how it just goes with everything!

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I liked the simplicity of this outfit, with the long grey cocoon cardigan keeping me warm, and the clay tee adding some colour between the grey cardigan and grey jeans. I picked the brown Converse as they seemed similar to the clay tee but they are much more different than I had thought. Luckily the brown is a nice neutral so they still work with all the other neutral grey tones in this outfit. I added a little extra colour with the pendant necklace as well.

Wanted to be comfortable more than anything and these stretchy jeans are very comfortable to wear - perfect for a bit of driving around in the morning for an early morning vet appointment for cooper, and then working from home for the rest of the day.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, stone pendant necklace, rust tee, grey skinny jeans, brown Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cocoon cardigan and skirt, rust tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, brown Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit with another neutral cocoon cardigan over grey jeans and a tee! This time around I went a little brighter with the pink tee, and the fuchsia earrings. While the shades of pink are very different I thought they looked nice together, and it dressed up my outfit a little for video calls as I worked from home.

My son had an early morning appointment at the doctors before school, I worked from home and then after school pickup they had an evening kids event at church to attend, so it was a bit of a busy day with the driving around. I was thankful for this cosy cardigan keeping me warm as it was a bit windy, especially at the event in the evening. Although I wore this back in autumn it was definitely starting to get cooler.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, double circle necklace, pink tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and skirt, pink tee and shorts, Nobody Denim jeans with red, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

Striped Tees, Jeans, Long Coats And Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

More autumn jeans outfits - I really do reach for my denim a lot in the cooler weather! This time around I'm wearing jeans and striped tees with my purple small Chloe Paraty bag, for some working from home days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was another busy day! With the school run, working from home, a vet visit for the dogs, and then sports in the evening. While it was warmer during the day when I was out with the dogs, this warm grey cocoon cardigan was much needed for the cooler morning and the very cold evening outdoors with the kids.

I felt like this Coca-Cola logo stripe tee was overdue another wear, and it's a nice simple outfit paired with the plain grey cardigan and black skinny jeans. I added the Adidas Superstar for more black and white, and then an extra bit of colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag. The deep wine coloured purple shade is particularly suited for autumn, I've been reaching for it a lot lately.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cocoon cardigan and skirt, Coca-Cola logo tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another striped tee and jeans outfit for working from home, again with the school run and a vet trip for Cooper. I like a casual jeans and tee outfit for working from home, as it's so comfortable. I did try to dress this up a little with these pretty purple acrylic slower earrings I picked up on a day out with my mum and sister lately. The store had a 3 for $10 sale and I couldn't resist! I felt these helped add a little interest and dressed up the tee enough for video calls.

I then went with the blue beaded necklace to match the earrings, and this denim trench coat that I absolutely adore. Despite it being quite popular when it was released last year, it went on sale in my local Kmart store for just $10 when spring arrived, and I had to snap it up. It's quite a soft denim and I like the relaxed oversized fit, will be perfect for layering with chunky knits when winter arrives. It was a nice way to do double denim with the grey jeans, and again I wore the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a touch of autumn colour.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, blue beaded necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, white leather Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag (above). First time I've worn the trench as I bought it on sale last year in warmer weather, and first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, white leather Converse and shorts, purple Chloe Paraty bag and dress.

Green Jeans, Printed Tanks and Blazers For The Office

Two outfits with printed tanks, jeans and blazers, an easy office outfit formula for autumn.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Green and pink is not some thing I wear together an awful lot, but I was inspired to try this blush pink bag with the olive green jeans thanks to the pink in the terrazzo print of this tank. The Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag matches the subtle blush pink in the tank quite well I thought, so I gave it a go. With a neutral black blazer and white Converse, I really liked this outfit and the blush and olive combination.

Great for another autumn day in the office, the blazer made the sleeve less tank warm enough for the cooler commute.


Last worn: black blazer, circle necklace, terrazzo tank, olive jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and dress, terrazzo tank and maxi skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Unlike pink and green, blue and green is a combination I wear fairly often, so this bright cobalt blue blazer was an easy choice to layer with the teal skinny jeans. This fern print tank is a fun one that was overdue another wear as well. I liked the matching blue against the blazer, and I thought the colours looked great against the teal jeans.

I went with the statement gold circle necklace to match the statement gold hardware on the Chloe Paddington bag.

This was a very long day as I'd been kept late in the office working on an issue, and after I got home from work I had to rush my son to hospital. It was a very busy evening in the ER and he needed an x-ray so we were there over 4 hours. Thankfully no broken bones for him, but we were a little worried there for a bit! He's fully recovered now.


Last worn: blue blazer, gold circle necklace, fern print tank, teal skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, fern print tank and pencil skirt, teal skinny jeans and stripes, brown Converse and skirt, Chloe Paddington bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Chloe Paddington bag in second trimester.

Green Camis and Bright Blazers With Converse

Two green toned camis for office days, with bright blazers over the top to add even more colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like blue and green together, but this is the first time I've worn this mint cami with the bright cobalt blazer. It was such a fun combination! I picked the grey pencil skirt to wear as I haven't worn it for a while. It used to be an office staple before 2020, but things are a lot more casual and relaxed in the office now, and so I was debating if I even still needed it in my wardrobe or if it's too corporate. I'm so glad that I gave it another wear, pleased that it fit, and it can come back into my office rotation, it's such a good basic!

Paired with casual Converse because they are my go-to shoe lately, along with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. While it's been worn more recently than the pencil skirt, it was still overdue a wear. Like the skirt, the bag also needs to be worn more often!


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mint cami, gold circle necklace, clay earrings, grey pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, mint cami and shorts, grey pencil skirt in winter, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: pencil skirt in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a much cooler and wetter day than the day above, so it called for jeans! I love dressing up jeans with a blazer in the office. And with the black jeans and the light olive cami it was a bit of a neutral outfit, especially with the brown Converse and the pale Chloe Ethel bag. I think the bright orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with this outfit!

The blazer dressed up the jeans, covered up the spaghetti straps of the cami and kept me warm on the cold and wet commute.

Last worn: orange blazer, heart stud earrings, foil bead necklace, olive cami, faded black jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, olive cami and skirt, faded black jeans and leather jacket, brown Converse with black and white, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

Dolman Sleeve Blouses, Skinny Jeans and Chloe Paddington Bag

With the cooler autumn weather in Brisbane, I've started reaching for my jeans more often. I wear them to work as well as on my work from home or weekend days, they are great in the cooler weather. When I wore both of these jeans I dressed them up a little with statement sleeved black blouses, chunky necklaces, and my Chloe Paddington bag. My friends and I have been talking about the Paddington since it was re-released and I couldn't resist getting my old bags out again!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

This actually turned into a much warmer day than I had expected, and I regretted the decision to wear jeans a little! I did like how well these teal skinny jeans matched the teal wooden bead in my statement necklace though, such a good pairing and the necklace was a nice pop of colour against the black blouse. This top is an old favourite, and it's great for autumn where I don't need an extra layer or jacket on top and can show off the dolman sleeves.

With the necklace matching the jeans, and the black Converse matching the blouse, I added some brown with the brun Chloe Paddington bag. It's an original from 2007, and I bought it second hand around 2008/2009. I love it so much! While it hasn't been worn a lot recently, I wore it a lot at the beginning of my blogging days.

It was good to get it out again and remember why I love it so much, expect to see it pop up more often. I don't always follow trends, shopping mostly second hand anyway, but I love this bag (my first designer bag buy!) and it's good to have an excuse to get it out again.

Last worn: silver circle earrings, wooden statement necklace, black button up blouse, teal skinny jeans, black Converse, Chloe brun Paddington.

Other ways to wear: black button up blouse and skirt, teal skinny jeans and stripes, black Converse and dress, Chloe brun Paddington and skirt.

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

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Top: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse (new purchase)

Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Although this outfit is less colourful than the one above as I stuck to neutrals in this outfit, I also really liked this! The white skinny jeans were a really easy pairing with this black dolman sleeve blouse I thrifted recently. Black clothing never seems to photograph well, but it has a subtle rib all over and with the full sleeves it's such a nice twist on a plain black top. I knew I had to get it at the opshop, such a good piece for office days!

I kept with the neutrals with the brown wooden necklace, brown Chloe Paddington bag again, and brown Converse sneakers. The necklace and bag are such a good match, and I felt the brown Converse complimented them both nicely, even if they don't match exactly.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, wooden statement necklace, white cropped skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe brun Paddington (above). First time I've worn the blouse as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: white cropped skinny jeans and knit, brown Converse and skirt,  Chloe brun Paddington and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Chloe brun Paddington in second trimester.

Striped Tees And Skinny Jeans To Work From Home

More autumn weather means more jeans! An old favourite pair and a newer pair I got for Christmas, both with striped tees.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans (Christmas present)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn this Coca-Cola logo striped tee, an opshop find quite a while ago. It was the perfect pairing with these teal skinny jeans. I got the jeans for Christmas from our pre-Christmas opshopping day, and I have been waiting for the perfect weather to wear them! A rainy day after the cyclone, with working from home and the kids being back at school, was a great time to get them out. They are very comfortable!

I liked the little pop of red from the logo in the tee with the teal jeans, but I kept the rest of the outfit simple with no other accessories and just my little blue mini MAC bag.


Last worn: striped tee, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the jeans as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wear: striped tee and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Repeating the striped tee and skinny jeans combination again as I enjoyed it in the outfit above! It was another working from home day for me. Although the majority of the post-cyclone Alfred flooding had gone down I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to make it all the way to the office, so I worked from home. Thankfully we hadn't lost power so while I was working the kids were able to enjoy playing computer games, as their school was unfortunately damaged by the cyclone and it took a little longer to be made safe and opened back up to students.

Just like the first outfit, I found this really comfortable, although there was no school run this time I did get out to walk the dogs and continue to check on people in the neighbourhood I saw after the wild weather. We were really lucky to have no damage.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, rust striped tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: rust striped tee and shorts, zip detail skinny jeans and graphic tee, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Red Bag, Black Skinny Jeans and Animal Print Office Outfits

With cooler autumn weather arriving this March in Brisbane, I've started getting my jeans out again. Wearing both of these black skinny jeans to the office with animal print tops and a pop of colour from my red Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Shirt: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This shirt is from my sister's wardrobe. I love the relaxed fit and the batwing sleeves. It is a very thick polyester though, and much too warm last time I wore it. it was good to get it out again on this cooler day, no extra layer needed. I tucked it in to show off the zipper detail on the pockets of these jeans.

The black Converse were an obvious choice with the black skinny jeans, I wear the two together quite often. Even though the red dinosaur earrings are a deeper and darker shade of red than the brighter Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag, I liked the two red accessories with this neutral coloured outfit.


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, leopard print shirt, zip detail jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print shirt, zip detail jeans and trench, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Just like the outfit above, I followed the same basic formula, with black skinny jeans and my black converse again, topped with an animal print top. This cheetah print cami is, like the bright cobalt blazer, an opshop find. With the spaghetti straps of the cami I needed something to cover up my shoulders for a day in the office, and I liked the extra warmth this blazer gave my otherwise bare shoulders on the colder autumn morning commute.

While this is a more colourful outfit with the bright cobalt blazer, I still went with the red studded saddle bag, I really like the cheerful combination of the bright blue jacket and red crossbody bag together.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, cobalt blazer, navy necklace, animal print cami, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded red saddle bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, animal print cami and skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and leather jacket, black Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

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.
