Red Tees and Black Cardigans With Skinny Jeans

Just like in my previous post, wearing red tees again! This time paired with black knits and skinny jeans.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee 
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Why I wore it:

I love how blanket-like this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana is! The black and white print means it goes with everything, and jeans and a tee is a bit of a staple for me in winter, especially paired with this cosy topper. It was a nice easy outfit for working from home, with the school run and then the end of term wrap-party for sports in the evening. I just wrapped the knit around me to keep me warmer at night!

I did take a big book along with me to the party, it was a party for the kids, so I just had to sit on the sidelines. I needed a big bag for it and this Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag was perfect, as it fit my essentials, the large novel I was reading from the library, and my water bottle too.

The tee, like the necklace, is recently thrifted. While the necklace sticks with the neutral colour scheme of the black and white knit and Converse, black jeans and grey bag, I liked the pop of colour the red tee added to this outfit.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana, statement beaded necklace, red crew neck tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff knit ruana and jeans, red crew neck tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and maxi skirtRebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white

Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit! It was a quiet weekend but I had a couple of errands to run. We were celebrating a big milestone at work the next day, so I ran round a few grocery stores to pick up the perfect ingredients for a cookie platter. It was fun to put together, especially as I ate a couple accidentally broken cookies that didn't make it into the box at the end!

Just like the outfit above, the red tee provides most of the colour in this outfit, with the white Converse, grey skinny jeans, and black cocoon cardigan. I did add a little extra colour with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and the blue beaded necklace too. Just like the necklace in the outfit above, it's a recent opshop find.

Rust Tees, Black Knits, Skinny Jeans and Converse

Layering up some rust toned tees for Brisbane's winter with black jeans, Converse and cosy black knits recently.



What I wore:





Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I love the subtle different these coated denim jeans make to an outfit, I'm glad I thrifted them a while back to give the look a try. With a nice cosy cardigan is my favourite way to wear them, and this black cardigan is also an opshop find. With the black jeans, black Converse and black cardigan, I wanted to add a little more colour to this outfit. This washed clay tee is a lovely rust tone that had me pulling out my taupe Alexander McQueen skull scarf and nut brown Chloe Marcie bag to complement the colour.

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for working from home, I wasn't planning on having too busy of a day, until I got the message from school in the morning reminding us it was a themed day. I ended up scrabbling to get to the shops and buy the kids something appropriate before drop off! Thankfully they made it to school just before the bell rung. Definitely an eventful morning! Luckily the rest of the day, working from home, didn't have any big surprises!


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Alexander McQueen skull scarf, rust tee, coated skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearblack cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, skull scarf and dress, rust tee and shorts, coated skinny jeans and jumper, Converse and skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.




What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

This tee is a similar rust colour to the one above, although a different saturation so this one is a lot more vibrant. I liked the peachy necklace with this, but I kept everything else black so the tee was the only colour in my outfit. It was a quiet weekend day and I didn't have much on other than a couple of errands, after dropping my son off at a playdate and then picking him up later in the afternoon.

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:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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 wearRebecca 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

What I wore:

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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca 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.

Pink Jeans, Grey Tees and Cocoon Cardigans

Two pink jeans and grey tee outfits for back in autumn, when the milder weather meant I just needed to layer with these cocoon cardigans. Both of them are opshop finds!


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this to volunteer at my local polling place for Election day, serving up sausages at the sausage sizzle! If you're not Australian you might not know most polling places have a BBQ, maybe even some baking, to fundraise for community groups. It was my first time volunteering on election day, although obviously not my first sausage sizzle, and it went well! Was good to contribute to democracy sausages!

I was very conscious I didn't want to dress in any of the political party colours but with the grey tee and the black cocoon cardigan this outfit needed a little colour. These magenta Sass and Bide jeans were the perfect pop. I added a little matching magenta with the marble necklace, and another shade of pink with the Converse. I really liked how this outfit came together, although I ended up taking the knit off quite early in the morning as it turned into a really warm day.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, marble necklace, grey tee, magenta jeans, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearblack cocoon cardigan and white jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans with blue, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.






What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was not as fun a day! I was quite busy as Cooper had surgery so I had to take him to the vets and pick him up afterwards. Along with this the kids had school, sports in the evening and I was also working from home. Thankfully the surgery went well! I dressed comfortably, jeans and tee is a go-to for working from home in cooler weather, and the pink leopard print cocoon cardigan kept me cosy. Just like the outfit above, I went with pink jeans again to add a little more colour. These are an opshop find, and although they are a lighter pink, a grey tee goes with everything! 

I wore my Chloe Paddington bag again, I've been carrying it a lot lately, and with such a busy day I didn't want the hassle of changing bags so just kept using this one, although when juggling Cooper in my arms I did wish I'd picked a lighter bag, maybe a crossbody one!


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded tassel necklace, grey tunic tee, pink skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca 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 wearblack 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 trimesterConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:



Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
ShortsJeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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 wearprinted tank and mustard cardigan, printed shorts and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

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:






JacketCotton On black knit wrap cardigan
ScarfStella 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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO 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 bumpConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted mint silicone statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO 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.

Coated Skinny Jeans, Converse and Winter Knits

I picked up these coated denim jeans at the opshop last month to give them a try. And despite worrying at first they looked too much like leggings, I've realised how fun they are to wear! Not sure how they will go in the warmer weather, but for cold winter days they have kept me nice and warm, especially paired with cosy knits like in these outfits.


What I wore:






ScarfAlexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Jumper: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

The first time I wore these jeans I worried they looked too like leggings so I paired them with a long tunic tee. This time around I wore this cosy knit to keep me warm, and tucked it in to the waist to show off the jean zipper details and pockets a little better. I really liked the rich wine colour of the knit with the neutral taupe skull scarf too, and with the black coated jeans and black Converse I felt like adding a little extra colour with this fun hand painted bag.

I really liked this outfit - with the ribbed texture of the knit and the coated denim textures together it looked lovely. Perfect for the school run, a quick visit to a friend, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: wine jumper, taupe skull scarf, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wearwine jumper and skirt, taupe skull scarf and skirt, coated denim jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

What I wore:

NecklaceHouse of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
TeeKmart basic purple tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

It was the perfect weather for this cosy knitted poncho on this day! I again wore my coated denim jeans, just like in the first outfit, I like the coated denim and the added texture of a chunky knit on top. With the black and white knit and the black jeans and again the black Converse, then the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag though, this outfit definitely need a little extra colour! It was the perfect excuse to wear the purple tee mum bought for me on our last shopping trip. I love the colour, it is a really rich purple that pops against all of the black.

Really liked wrapping myself up in this cosy knit for the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff poncho, sunburst necklace, coated jeans (above), black Converse (above), Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the purple tee as it's a recent addition to my wardrobe.

Blue Knits, Maxi Skirts and Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

More blue jumpers again! I only have a handful of knitted jumpers as they aren't needed too many days of the year here in Brisbane, but most of them are blue and I've been enjoying wearing them in the colder weather. This time around I've worn them with maxi skirts and scarves, to make the skirts work for colder days.


What I wore:






Scarf: Target Sadie woven scarf in blue spot print
Jumper: thrifted blue Mossman knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

This was a very cold morning, so this polyester ribbed knit jumper was the perfect choice for keeping me warm. The maxi skirt is perfectly light for a hot day, but with the jumper and scarf on top it kept me warm enough for an early morning vet appointment for Cooper after the school run, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon.

With the blue knit, navy scarf and blue Converse, there was a lot of blue in this outfit, so I wore my little Polene lilac Numero Neuf mini bag for an extra touch of colour. And because as much as I love blue, three shades of blue in an outfit indicated I probable needed to pick a different colour for my bag!


Last worn: polka dot scarf, Mossman knit, black maxi skirt, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearpolka dot scarf and stripes, Mossman knit over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, blue Converse and pencil skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and dress.





What I wore:






Scarf: star print pashmina from Melbourne Markets
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Another blue heavy outfit! Surprisingly I haven't worn this cobalt knit jumper with the navy stripe maxi skirt before! I figured this day was a good day to give the skirt a wear, as although it was a cold winter day and the skirt has a side split I spent most of the day inside, working from home. I only went out in the morning to drop my son off at his friends house and then pick him up again in the afternoon after work.

It was a very cold morning though, and even with this cosy pashmina scarf on top of the jumper I did wish I'd picked a maxi skirt that didn't have a side split, yet almost every winter I try making this maxi skirt warmer for the weather, I really should just leave it aside on colder days!


Last worn: cobalt marl knit, star print pashmina, navy stripe skirt, white Converse, Lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).
