Tiered Midi Dresses, Blue Scarves and Superstar Sneakers

Adding a touch of navy to these colourful Kmart tiered midi dresses with printed scarves for winter office days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

While the faded electric blue 5 zip bag, dark navy suede moto jacket and tile print scarf are all different shades I though they looked nice with the orange tiered midi dress. I wear this dress with blue a lot, I always like blue and orange together. I did have a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel earrings matching the tassels on the scarf, and that made me happy.

I find I'm reaching for this dress and similar ones quite a lot recently, as we get closer and closer to spring in Brisbane it isn't too cold to be going out with bare ankles, even on the early morning commute to the office as I had on this day.


Last worn: suede moto jacket, navy tassel earrings, geo print scarf, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag.

What I wore:







JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: navy bird print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I wish it had been a drier day so it wasn't so dark and cloudy when I took outfit photos in the morning, as I loved the colours in this outfit but it was hard to capture before rushing off into the city. It's not the first time I've worn this little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with a pink dress, the colour looks so good with a bright fuchsia. And while it is the first time I've worn the cobalt leather jacket with the fuchsia pink dress I do love wearing this dress with shades of blue.

I couldn't resist adding a few more shades of blue like I did in the outfit above, with the turquoise earrings and the navy bird print scarf. This was so cheerful and colourful, I loved this outfit. Perfect for a day in the office with some colleagues from outside Brisbane.

Tiered Maxi Dresses and Leopard Print Scarves

Adding a little extra colour and print to two Kmart tiered maxi dress outfits for Brisbane's winter with leather jackets and leopard print scarves.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfSupre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Felt this scarf was overdue a wear - an impulse $5 sale buy when I walked past a store years ago, I still love it today! With the denim tiered maxi dress, I felt it added a nice pop of colour and print, and with the black leather jacket, kept me cosy for a cold winter day. I had the school run, an appointment for my youngest, then dropping him off at school for the rest of the day and running a few errands myself before school pick up.

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was a practical choice to carry all the little extras I needed over the day. The navy Sketchers sneakers were a practical choice too as the appointment was at a specialist a bit of a drive away and I needed something comfortable to wear on my knee with all that driving, as I aggravated my old knee injury again when walking the dogs.


Last worn: black leather jacket, leopard print scarf, denim dressSketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and printed jeansleopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacketSketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.






What I wore:




JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
ScarfASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Surprised to see I haven't worn this orange tiered midi dress with this cobalt jacket before, it's such a fun and colourful winter combination! I needed a little extra warmth for an early morning appointment for myself, and yet more errands. I added the leopard print scarf just like in the outfit above for a little extra print. I liked this outfit formula in both of these resulting outfits, it was good to wear it again!

I did end up taking the jacket off when it warmed up a little later that morning though, wasn't a necessity for a little opshop browsing I did before I headed home. Just like the outfit above, I'd picked the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to wear as I had a few things and some paperwork to carry around.

Yellow, Black And Leopard Print Outfits With Magenta Bag

Another two winter office outfits I wore recently, both with animal print, black and colourful yellow scarves. I added a little more colour to both outfits with my magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
ScarfJeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

Was feeling the cold on this winter morning but also really wanted to give this cheetah print cami another wear for something different from a plain tee. Just like leopard print, I find it works well with yellow and I really like this mustard scarf with it.

Also had my grey belted cardigan on underneath the navy trench for a little extra warmth on the commute to work and also because I wanted to keep the spaghetti straps of the cami covered up in the office. Even though you can't really see it in the photos, just that longer hemline at the side peeking out. I was trying to pick a bag to wear and I saw this one I thrifted a while back and decided to give it a go. I liked the fun combination of it with the mustard scarf, I haven't tried yellow with this bag before.


Last worn: navy Macintosh, clay earrings, mustard scarfcheetah print cami, zip detail jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Other ways to wearnavy Macintosh and skirt, mustard scarf and dresscheetah print cami and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and printed jeans.





What I wore:






JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the yellow and magenta combination above, I tried it again, with this brighter yellow scarf. This scarf is such a cheerful addition to a winter outfit, although it is sadly so big and cosy that it has completely hidden my top in the photos! I will need to try wearing this outfit again on a warmer day minus the scarf or jacket.

The leather jacket was much needed on a cold and wet day though - I even had leggings on under this leopard print maxi skirt to keep me cosy. Much needed with the side slits on the skirt for a cold day! I added some recently thrifted statement earrings too, even though the yellow scarf is enough of a statement on its own, as I didn't wear the scarf sitting at my desk in the office all day.


Last worn: black leather jacket, yellow scarf, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and denim dress, yellow scarf and floral dress, leopard print maxi skirt and blazer, white Converse and jeans, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag and sequins.

Perfect for Pregnancy: scarf in second trimester.

Coral Dresses, Blue Scarves and Leather Jackets

Two very similar outfits for winter office days - colourful coral dresses with black leather jackets, bright blue scarves and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.


What I wore:




JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! It was a colder day but with a slip under this dress, my cosy cobalt scarf and the thick leather jacket on top I didn't feel too cold from having my bare ankles popping out from under the dress. By the time I was back from the office and picking the kids up from school I was even warm enough to take the jacket off. Definitely appreciated and needed it on the cold morning commute though!

With the bright coral tiered midi dress I knew this blue scarf would look great. The deep teal Love Too bag is a different shade of blue with this outfit but I think it really worked with this colourful dress. I loved this outfit, colourful for a colder winter day.


Last worn: black leather jacket, cobalt Marc Jacobs scarf, coral tiered maxi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and floral dress, cobalt Marc Jacobs scarf and jeans, coral tiered maxi dress in summer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.





What I wore:






JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This outfit I did not love as much as the one above. Very similar with a slip under a midi dress, a warm black leather jacket, sneakers and a cosy blanket scarf. This Louis Vuitton shawl is one of the warmest scarves I have. However I didn't really think this outfit through. I like this dress for work, I've worn it a few times, and the midi dress and leather jacket and cosy scarf combination worked well for the first outfit above.

With this midi dress being a wrap dress though, walking through the city in the morning to get into the office I realised the error of my ways as the wrap dress opens a little at the base as you walk, which left a lot more of my legs exposed to the cold than in the outfit above. I was glad to get into the heated office, and will be keeping this dress only for warmer days!


Last worn: black leather jacket, Louis Vuitton scarf, coral floral print wrap dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Printed Tanks, Black Jeans and Leather Jackets

Adding cosy winter layers and bright bursts of blue to two black jeans outfits I wore to the office recently. Layering was definitely needed as each of these printed tops are sleeveless tanks!

What I wore:






JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Singlet: Kmart navy ribbed tank
TankRiver Island floral print sleeveless shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

I felt that this pretty floral print tank was overdue a wear, it's been so long since I last wore it! Had decided to get it out again and layer a navy tank underneath to help keep me warm for an in-office day. At the last minute I decided to swap out the black leather jacket I planned to wear for this cobalt one. It's a firm favourite I've already hit 30 wears on that always gets me compliments and this day was no exception.

With the cobalt leather jacket against the white floral print tank and the black jeans and white Converse, I wanted to add a little extra colour so I went with this red saddle bag. Doesn't match the deep dark red flowers on the button up tank, but I did like how it brightened this outfit worn with the cobalt jacket.

Even though I layered up under the tank and this is a thick and cosy jacket, it was a very chilly commute to the office and I did wish I'd added a scarf to this outfit!


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, navy tank, floral button up tank, faded black Skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wearcobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, navy tank and shorts, floral button up tank and skirt, faded black Skinny jeans and cardigan, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.



I felt this big Louis Vuitton cobalt shawl made up for all the other neutrals in the outfit though - it's such a great pop of colour, and a very cosy scarf! Much like the cobalt leather jacket above, this blue scarf also gets a lot of compliments, it's such a great colour to wear. Kept me nice and warm on the early commute to the office.

Layering Summer Pieces In Winter Outfits

I thrifted a few summer pieces at the opshop in July, back before the cold winter weather really hit in Brisbane. I was so eager to wear my new finds that I tried layering them up for winter on working from home days despite the colder temperatures.


What I wore:






JacketWittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt (new purchase)
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

I love the colour of this maxi skirt! It was new with tags so definitely worth the $7 I paid for the $89.99 RRP! It was marked as 'Sahara Red' but it's the perfect bold mix of red and orange and I'm excited to wear it again when the weather is warmer. I layered it up with a bright cobalt leather jacket for warmth, and then this also thrifted grey tunic tee for a nice neutral. I skipped the scarf as I felt warm enough with the jacket and long maxi skirt. I was working from home, with a little break for the school run and taking the pups to the vet.

Will definitely have to try this skirt with more blue again next time I wear it, I loved how the leather jacket popped against the bright skirt.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, grey tunic tee, terrazzo necklace, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the maxi skirt as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearcobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, grey tunic tee and denim, white Converse and jeans, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and blazer.





What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Dressthrifted no label blue checked smock sundress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, I didn't enjoy this one as much. It looks nice, just wasn't very practical! This thin sundress needed a slip underneath, as well as fleece lined leggings, tall boots, my suede moto jacket and the big cobalt blanket scarf to make it cosy enough for the morning school run. It was certainly comfortable enough for working from home after too, before the school pick up in the afternoon.

However despite having the slip underneath it kept clinging to the leggings and riding up and I had to keep pulling it down, so frustrating to wear. I know I will enjoy this dress so much more when I can wear it with bare legs when it heats up again. Just not a good piece to try winterising. The much needed suede jacket also covered up the fun statement bell sleeves of the dress, so this will remain a firm warm weather only piece in my wardrobe!


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, cobalt scarf, tall leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC. First time I've worn the dress as it was a recent opshop find.

Leather Jackets And Dresses

Making these two dresses suitable for winter temperatures with the black leather jacket I recently bought at Gladrags Markets. The first outfit, I wore this month and could go bare legged, the second I wore back in July when it was a lot colder and fleece lined tights were a must!


What I wore:

Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress, leather jacket and skull scarf | awayfromblue

thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Spent some time with my mum and sister in the morning, getting haircuts (just a trim for me, as I'm still desperately trying to grow my hair out to donate again) and doing some dress shopping for an upcoming event.

Unfortunately the traffic coming back from up the coast made me a little late for dinner with some mum friends in the evening. I wasn't sure how long I'd be down the coast for so dressed for both things in case I didn't have time to change, thankfully. I didn't need the leather jacket for most of the day but I was so grateful for it at night, as it and the skull scarf kept me warm. 


Last worn: black leather jacket, skull scarf, earrings, tiered denim dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and skirt, skull scarf and stripes, tiered denim dress and red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: skull scarf in third trimester.





What I wore:

JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

A super cold morning meant layering up this little light pastel floral print viscose babydoll dress a bit for the school run and some errands. With the black fleece lined tights, black ankle boots and the black leather jacket and dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, I feel the pretty pastel floral print on this dress stands out really well. I added a little bit of matching with the floral print with my daisy earrings, although the colours are completely different I liked the additional florals against all the dark black.


Last worn: daisy earrings (above), leather jacket (above), Tiffany necklace, pastel floral dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Navy Printed Dresses For The Office with Leather Jacket and Boots | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's weekday wear link up, I'm layering up two blue printed dresses for winter office days. I added leather jackets, fleece lined tights and boots to make these more suitable for the cold early morning commute.


What I wore:


thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Jacket
Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
DressShein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I love this cobalt leather jacket so much - can't believe this is the first time I've gotten it out this winter! I really like the brighter cobalt blue against the navy floral swing dress. The dress is quite light as it's just viscose, so I did debate adding a scarf with this, btu decided this pretty coral necklace was so similar to the colours in the print that it would be wrong to cover it up with a scarf. the jacket is roomy so I could zip it up for the cold morning thankfully.

The tall leather boots added a bit of extra warmth too, and with the cobalt jacket, dark navy Cupid bag and the tan boots, there was a lot of different colours of leather in this outfit, but I think they all work so nicely together.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, coral beaded necklace, navy floral swing dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearcobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, navy floral swing dress and blazertan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and pink jeans.






What I wore:

JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Not quite as colourful as the outfit above, but this outfit featured exactly the same outfit formula, with a navy printed dress, fleece tights, boots, and this time around a black leather jacket. I love both of these leather jackets a lot, but I'm still amazed I scored this one at Gladrags Markets for just $30, considering the cobalt one was one I bought full price and it cost 10 times as much as that! I really enjoy finding preloved bargains!

While I do prefer this dress with bare legs in the warmer weather, I think with all of the black (and the very dark navy of the Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag) this dress layered up nicely.


Last worn: black leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, navy tile print dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).
