Blue Tops, Pink Scarves, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different blue and pink outfits with skinny jeans and cosy cardigans. Both outfits feature a scarf for a bright pop of pink.

What I wore:

thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I threw this top on after it was delivered the day before - probably should have ironed it, can still see those new from packet creases, ha! But it was the perfect block colour piece to wear with this fun leopard print cardigan, and super comfortable with the grey jeans. I was just working from home and doing the school run, but added a little warmth and colour with the pink ombre scarf that I thrifted recently.

Last worn: leopard print cardigan, pink ombre scarf, blue tank, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and pink jeans, pink ombre scarf with black and white outfit, blue tank with green, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

With the navy tee, navy cardigan and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a bit of a darker outfit than the one above. I thought that the pink and white Alexander McQueen skull scarf was a nice way to lighten up the outfit a little with that pop of pink and the white background. Again I went with my Converse sneakers and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that has been a firm go-to for me since I thrifted it recently. Nice and easy jeans and tee outfit for my sons playdate.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, navy tee, pink skull scarf, black skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, navy tee and denim skirt, pink skull scarf and stripes, black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and maxi dress.

Blue Tanks, Floral Toppers And Skinny Jeans

Adding a little more interest to these plain blue tank and black skinny jeans outfits I wore recently, with some floral printed cover ups. Nice easy outfits for the school run and working from home.

What I wore:

Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue | awayfromblue

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

With it being a little warmer I didn't want to add a cardigan to this tank and jeans outfit. I wasn't sure about the teal of the tank against the magenta of this floral waterfall jacket but I'm glad I gave the combination a try for something different! This was the perfect light layer I needed.

With the cobalt blue in the floral print I added more blue with the navy bead necklace, and the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel, black faded skinny jeans and Converse were good neutrals to wear with that different teal and magenta colour combination.

Last worn: magenta floral jacket, navy beaded necklace, teal tank, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: magenta floral jacket and shorts, teal tank over a dress, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

green floral duster, thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue | awayfromblue

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo
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: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another blue and green outfit! I really like wearing this green duster with blue, so I knew I wanted to wear it with this blue tank I recently purchased. I love blue and green together, and I think that the chunky necklace, with the different blue and green beads, tied it together nicely. This has quickly become my go-to necklace when I'm wearing blue and green!

Again I went with classic black skinny jeans. These Nobody Denim Siren pair are so comfortable, perfect for the school run and working from home, especially when paired with this soft cotton tank and my staple Converse.

Last worn: green floral duster, chunky necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above). first time I've shared the tank on the blog as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and dress, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and purple cardigan, Converse in black and white outfit, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and pastel dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Printed Tanks, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

I feel like I've been wearing my jeans to the office a lot this winter! This time around I wore them with printed tanks and some cosy cardigans. While winter is drawing to an end here in Brisbane and the days can be quite warm, the commute can be quite chilly, especially in the morning!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Rowena print tank
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: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I really liked the simplicity of this outfit! The red waterfall cardigan really popped against the neutral printed tank and the black skinny jeans. With the dark navy Cupid bag and the black and white Converse, this could have been a really dull outfit without the cardigan brightening it up. This cosy red cardigan was the obvious choice when looking for something to keep me warm that morning for the commute into the office.

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, gold circle necklace, animal print tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, animal print tank and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and tiered dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: animal print tank in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tank: Emerson crochet lace bib print top
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Red and black again for another day in the office! This time around I went with a red printed tank, and kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the black cocoon cardigan and the charcoal grey jeans. I felt with the crochet detail on the tank, and the red and white print, this outfit didn't really need a necklace. Instead I went with my little dinosaur skeleton earrings I recently thrifted. They weren't a perfect match to the red in the print on the tank, but I liked the two together. I really need to try wearing these when I tie my hair up one day so they are easier to show off, they tend to get hidden in my hair!

Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, dino earrings, red printed tank, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, red printed tank and flares, Nobody Denim jeans worn 2 ways, Adidas Superstar and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: red printed tank in third trimester.

Printed Scarves, Cosy Knits, Sneakers and Jeans

Layering up in some cosy knits and printed scarves recently, and wearing a few more of the pieces I added to my wardrobe in July.

What I wore:

Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings (new purchase)
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl mixed print polka dots and stripes scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I am sure I've worn this scarf before but have had no luck finding it on the blog. I do have quite a few Fashion Scarf girl scarves to look through though! With the cobalt knit and these white jeans, I felt the outfit needed a little extra something, and this blueish grey scarf with the white stripes and polka dots was the perfect mixed print.

Nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after school pick up.

Last worn: cobalt knit, white jeans, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a recent purchase from the markets.

Other ways to wear: cobalt knit and maxi skirt, white jeans with red, Sketchers sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings (new purchase)
Scarf: Forever New skye foil feather scarf in berry / gold
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! there were a few things on in the city for the weekend so the kids and I took a little trip. Managed to stop by my new office too and show them some of the sights, you get a good view of Brisbane from there!

As we had a lot of walking around to do I went with the Sketchers sneakers again! Nice and simple and comfortable for exploring the city with the kids.

I wasn't sure at first if the different burgundy shades in the scarf and jeans would work well together, but I'm glad I gave this a try as I really liked this outfit. Just like the one above, jeans and a jumper is so simple, and with a little extra print or colour form a scarf it helped me feel more pulled together.

Last worn: burgundy feather foil scarf, daisy earrings (above), ombre knit, burgundy jeans, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: burgundy feather foil scarf and denim dress, ombre knit and trench coat, burgundy jeans and turquoise, Sketchers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: ombre knit at 40 weeks.

Adding Colour To Black and White Jeans Outfits In Winter | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing two black and white outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link up. I like adding a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral outfit, and with it being winter in Brisbane I added some cosy but colourful layers to both of these outfits to brighten them up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Top: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans (new purchase)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Couldn't pass up these pristine white straight legged jeans at the opshop for just $1! I prefer skinny jeans over straight leg jeans, and I already have a pair of white skinny jeans, but for $1 I was eager to try these. They are such a comfortable fit too.

For their first wear I went with the classic black tank and as I had a little bit of driving to do with errands, the school run, and more errands after picking the kids up from school, my comfortable New Balance sneakers. With the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag too this definitely needed a little extra colour! The red waterfall cardigan was super cosy for a cold winter day and I love how much it brightened up the black and white outfit. It was just the right layer to make this linen blend tank warm enough for the cold morning too.

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue beaded necklace, black linen tank, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the white jeans as they were a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, black linen tank and leopard print, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and floral dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf (new purchase)
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another first wearing of a newly thrifted piece. I bought a few things in July! Since I liked the outfit combination above so much I wore something similar again the next week, this time with the black jeans and a white tee, and a black cardigan. The colour came from this awesome pink ombre tassel scarf. I have quite a lot of scarves, but couldn't walk past this one in the opshop for just $2! I really like the different shades of pink and how well they work with the black and white outfit.

Like above, it was another day of working from home and doing the school run, so comfortable Converse sneakers were perfect for that. I really liked this outfit. Except for the Converse and the white v-neck tee, everything was an opshop find! I've really been focusing on shopping preloved more often and adding a lot of thrift finds to my wardrobe over the past few years.

Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Tiffany necklace, white v-neck tee, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel (above). First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and leopard print, white tee and midi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in third trimester.

Black And Pink Outfits With Converse, Printed Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Continuing to layer up my jeans for winter in Brisbane, with these printed skinny jeans and Converse outfits. While they both look different, both are made up of black and pink (with a little blue and navy in the first outfit too).

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank (new purchase)
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for a Monday morning school run and working from home! I often wear these pink leopard print skinny jeans with black, so it made sense to pair my new textured linen top with them. Being black you can't really see the texture in the photos sadly, but it is a great staple tank and it's sure to get a lot of wear as it layers up so well for our cooler weather. I added the suede jacket on top too, to keep me cosy. First time I've gotten it out this year, after getting it for Christmas. Being suede I was a little hesitant to take it out for the first time, but so far so good, worn it a few times and no damage to it, it's not as delicate as I thought!

Added a little extra colour to this outfit with the blue Converse, and the big Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag because I've hardly stopped using it since I thrifted it. Being a really dark deep navy I felt it worked well with the black tank and the navy suede jacket.

Last worn: heart charm necklace, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid. First time I've worn the suede jacket on the blog as it was a Christmas present, and first time I've worn the linen tank as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: pink leopard print jeans and blazer, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and stripes.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

These chevron print Sass and Bide jeans are another pair I have worn a lot of black with, so the cosy black cocoon cardigan was a good choice to make this spaghetti strap cami a little more weather appropriate for a winter kids birthday party. I've tried a few different prints with these jeans over the time I've owned them but I really think plain block colours, like in this outfit, work so much better with them. I was really comfortable in this outfit.

I did add the red dinosaur skeleton earrings for a little pop of colour but they are a bit hard to see! Again I went with Converse, as we had a bit of driving to get to the party, it was at an indoor play area we hadn't been too before. Such a fun party though! The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was stuffed to the brim with my usual minimal essentials, and then some bottles of water for us.

Last worn: cocoon cardigan, dinosaur earrings, feather necklace, pink cami, chevron print jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and white denim, pink cami and skirt, chevron print jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag with jeans and jumper.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Jeans and Jumper Outfits With Striped Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

It's turning into regular winter weather in Brisbane, where knits are becoming a staple for me! I've paired both of these thrifted knits with some other more recent opshop finds, for some working from home and school run days.

What I wore:

thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue | awayfromblue

Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings (new purchase)
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

The tiny little red dinosaur skeleton earrings are hard to see in these pics but they are oh so cute! I stumbled across them at the opshop the same time I saw this beautiful vintage cupid bag, and I knew my boys would love them. I liked the little pop of red it added to the burgundy knit, even if it doesn't stand out in photos that much.

The burgundy knit was perfect for the early morning school run and staying cosy while working from home. I added the scarf to add a little more interest to the outfit, but but the afternoon, we had a couple of errands to run after school, and I'd decided the scarf wasn't needed after all. I did like the mixed stripes against the burgundy, it just warmed up a lot that afternoon!

Last worn: wine knit, striped scarf, grey skinny jeans, Adidas superstar sneakers. First time I've worn the dinosaur earrings and Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: wine knit with skirt, striped scarf with purple, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas superstar sneakers and shorts.

What I wore:

Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

Another thrifted knit, striped scarf and jeans combination! It is just so comfortable for working from home and for doing the school drop off and pick up! While this cobalt knit is a nice way to add some colour to the faded black skinny jeans, the pink and red stripes in the scarf were such a fun pop against the cobalt I couldn't resist picking this scarf to add a little more colour. Unlike the scarf in the first outfit too, this one was needed all day to keep me warm.

Again I went with sneakers, as we had a couple errands to run after school pick up.

Last worn: striped scarf, cobalt knit, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped scarf and pencil skirt, cobalt knit and maxi skirt, faded black jeans and printed top.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester.

Black, White and Grey Jeans and Tee Outfits With Pink Accessories | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two cosy jeans and tee outfits for the school holidays. The kids had a very fun week of school holiday adventures planned, and I was working from home.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Kmart pink multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
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:

First time I've got this cosy knit out this winter, and I was reminded again why I love it. It's basically a big knitted blanket. Perfect for an early morning start, dropping the kids off at school holiday vacation program and then working from home before picking them up in the afternoon. With the grey jeans, white Converse, and black and white knit, this was a little monochromatic. The grey tee does have a fun pink panel on the back but you can't really see that with the knit on top, so I added more pink with this wooden beaded necklace and the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

As I was just doing the school holiday program pick up and drop off, and then working from home the rest of the day, this was the perfect bag for the few essentials I needed for that.

Last worn: knitted poncho, grey tee, pink wooden bead necklace, faded black jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wear: knitted poncho and stripes, grey tee over maxi dress, faded black jeans and blazer, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody and denim skirt.

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

Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB Crossbody Reveal:

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

This was a very good day! I didn't start work until later in the day, so after I dropped the kids off at their school holiday program I had an opportunity to stop in at the opshop on my way home. I stumbled across some Rebecca Minkoff bags which was the highlight of my week! The volunteers were quite entertained by my excitement as I tried on the bags before picking one to buy!

Having planned to go to the opshop on my way home from dropping off the kids, I picked this thrifted grey tunic and silver necklace to wear. I always like wearing thrifted pieces opshopping, although I'm aware it doesn't really bring me any more luck than if I didn't wear thrifted pieces, never hurts to try! Certainly seemed to have worked in this case, I was really pleased with my Rebecca Minkoff find at the opshop!

I thought that the black and white striped duster was a good topper over this grey tunic and the grey skinny jeans - the stripes added more interest, and just as it did in the outfit above, the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag added a little more colour too. I really like the desert rose shade with grey.

Last worn: striped duster, silver necklace, grey tunic, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: striped duster and skirt, grey tunic and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody and leopard print.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped duster in second trimester.
