What I wore:
Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
I really liked this outfit! My favourite thrifted $1 faded black jeans, black cardigan and black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers were great basics to start with in my outfit and let me add more colour. While there is no pink in the tartan scarf, and the shades of blue are different from the little Balenciaga first bag, I thought all these colours went so nicely together.
The scarf was needed on a cold morning too, and at sports later in the evening! I had a couple quick errands to run after school drop off, before working from home and then picking the kids up at school in the afternoon.

Balenciaga First Review and What's In My Bag:
What I wore:

Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India
Why I wore it:
Just like last time I wore this cosy knitted kimono I paired it with a pink tee again! A brighter pink tee this time, but almost exactly the same as the last time I wore this knit, as I wore it with black jeans then too! It was the perfect thing to wear when all I had to do was working from home, and the school run. It's so warm and cosy, like a blanket!While the pink tee adds a lot of colour to the black and white outfit, the turquoise Balenciaga first bag adds an extra pop I really enjoyed - it looks so good with both pink and black! Plus it had everything in it from when I'd worn it above, and meant I didn't need the hassle of switching over my bag while also making sure the kids got to school on time!

How You Can Wear It:
Pink tees look great with neutral black layers in winter - and you can't beat a classic jeans and tee outfit! A bright bag like this Balenciaga first bag is a nice way to add even more colour to winter layers too.
