Printed Dresses, Leather Jackets and Pink Bags

Layering up these Kmart printed dresses for winter office days recently, with leggings, boots, and leather jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I am pleased I could get a photo of this outfit in daylight (I was working from a different office a shorter commute away so I wasn't out the door before sunrise!). I really like pink and purple with this navy and white striped dress, it's something I've worn with a few times before. And leopard print and stripes will always be a print mix I enjoy wearing too. The purple leopard print scarf kept me cosy both in the cooler morning commute and in the office - the aircon there is always super cold!

I liked this dress with the leggings and tall boots too, although it warmed up enough in the afternoon for school pick up that the leather jacket wasn't really needed.


Last worn: gum leaf earrings, leather jacket, purple leopard scarf, navy stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff MAC.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and skirt, purple leopard scarf and jeans, navy stripe dress and denim jacket, tan leather boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple leopard scarf in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Another pink Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bag with a printed dress, leather jacket, leggings and boots. I liked this little pink mini 5-zip bag in this outfit, although it's a different shade from the pink in the floral wisteria print of the dress I think it compliments the pinks and blues nicely. I added another shade of pink with the statement dangly earrings too.

The cobalt leather jacket is a different shade of blue from the pastel blue of the dress as well, but I really liked the pop of colour it adds to this outfit. It's a really fun piece to wear in winter.

Didn't wear a scarf with this, although I did knot up the neckline of the dress for a little extra warmth in the colder morning.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, cobalt leather jacket, Kmart black floral print midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: blue leather jacket worn 30 ways, Kmart black floral print midi dress and trench coat, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

Red Tees, Printed Maxi Skirts, Blue Jackets and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Wearing some colourful blue and red outfits, with printed maxi skirts, red tees, blue jackets and recently thrifted necklaces.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue knotted beaded necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! The red tee is a new-to-me opshop find. I am always on the hunt for good basic cotton tees in the opshops, and I loved the bright red of this. Although I have a few red tees already in my wardrobe, at just $1, I had to pick this up! With the bright cobalt leather jacket it really pops, and I added some more interest to this outfit with the leopard print maxi skirt. The skirt is also an opshop find. Despite a small slit up the side it was long enough on this breezey winter day to keep my legs cosy. I went with the brown Converse to match the browns in the leopard print skirt, and then I went matchy-matchy with the bag and necklace too. I think this Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great pairing with the greyish-blue on this necklace.

While it was a colder winter day, we were up early as I took the kids to a science show. They had a great time, made the errands we had to run afterwards a little more bearable as we had such fun at the show!


Last worn: blue leather jacket, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. First time I've worn the necklace and the tee as they are recent opshop buys.

Other ways to wear: blue leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print maxi skirt and blazer, brown Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another red tee and maxi skirt outfit combination! Like the one above, I stuck with blue and red, with this deeper burgundy tee and the fun blue tie dye print maxi skirt. I went with a darker blue jacket with this navy suede one that's really warm for winter. Perfect for an early morning school drop off, although I didn't need it too much in the afternoon for school pick up. I worked from home when the kids were at school, had an appointment, and then took the kids to the dentist after school.

While the shades of blue and red in this outfit are different from the brighter ones above, I liked this outfit too. The skirt does have a pretty large slit up the side so was not as warm as I'd have liked in the morning, but it thankfully got warmer later in the day when the sun was shining.

Just like the outfit above, I accessorised with the Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag - it fits my current library read in it along with all my essentials, great for in the writing room at the dentist. The necklace is an opshop find too, I thrifted both this one and the blue one in the same store. I love the chunky beads.


Last worn: navy suede jacket, burgundy tee, tie dye maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy suede jacket and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Floral Dresses In Winter With Leggings

I have so many cute floral dresses, and I try to wear them year-round. One recent weekend, I wore these two floral dresses with leggings and jackets to make them suitable for our winter weather.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Dress: thrifted Iris Maxi the Label purple floral tiered mini dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a very fun day! We had a kid's birthday party in the morning, and then a friend came over for a playdate in the afternoon, so the boys were very entertained.

I did not expect for the parents to get involved in the kids party though - at one point there was kids vs adults dodgeball and perhaps the boots were not the best choice of footwear. I ended up just taking the boots off and running around in my socks!

I did like the boots and leggings with this purple floral dress though, a recent opshop find that I'm looking forward to wearing with less layers when it warms up. With the turquoise in the bottom hem I was inspired to add a lot of blue to this, with the mid wash denim jacket, blue crystal earrings, and periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag.


Last worn: denim jacket, crystal earrings, purple floral tiered mini dress, tall tan boots, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, purple floral tiered mini dress and trench, tall tan boots and blazer, Chloe Paraty bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Kmart gold circle glitter resin statement earrings
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I knew I would be doing a lot of walking on this day so I still layered up this Jaase floral dress with leggings, but wore Converse instead of boots. Spent the day with my parents and sister, she's doing some renovations at the moment so we helped review a few tile choices and then all went out for lunch. It was a really nice day. It was a chilly morning so I layered up with this leather jacket, but with the long sleeves on this Jaase dress I didn't really feel I needed the jacket in the heat of the day.

It's the first time I've worn this dress with the provided belt since I got it! I liked the look, it's nice to have different ways to wear it. I feel the peachy floral print really pops with all the black, from the Converse, leggings, leather jacket and Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: gold glitter circle earrings, Jeanswest leather jacket, Jaase Semika floral dress, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and maxi skirt, Jaase Semika floral dress and denim trench, Converse and jeans, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Dresses and Leather Jackets For Winter With Rebecca Minkoff Bags

Layering up some dresses for Brisbane's winter weather with leather jackets. I always like getting my leather jackets out in the cooler weather, they are great outfit toppers.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

On a particularly cold winter morning I layered up this colourful coral red Kmart tiered midi dress with my Jeanswest leather jacket and my paisley print snood (infinity scarf). I wasn't sure if the floral bag and the paisley print scarf would be too much together, but I think they were far enough apart that this outfit worked, and I felt like giving this bag a wear again, it was definitely overdue!

Although the hand painted Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote bag has gold hardware, the paisley print scarf has little silver studs woven through it so I decided to wear my silver circle earrings with this. Wore comfortable shoes as we had church and then some errands to run afterwards, as the kids needed some new school shoes.


Last worn: leather jacket, silver circle earrings, paisley print snood, Kmart tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and printed jeans, paisley print snood and jeans, Kmart tiered midi dress and scarf, Nike Court Royale sneakers and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Paisley print snood in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This was earlier in winter when it was a little warmer so I could face going bare legged. I still layered up with the black ankle boots and black leather jacket to keep me cosy though. This leather jacket is another favourite, picked up preloved at the fashion markets at such a bargain price. I like the juxtaposition of pretty floral dresses with leather jackets, and of course the matchy-matchy of the black leather boots as well made me happy. I added a little extra colour as although the Jasse Semika dress is a colourful floral print, I had added a lot of black. This aquamarine Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and the turquoise tassel earrings are such a nice pairing and I felt they brightened this outfit up.

It was another weekend day, with two kids birthday parties to attend, so a long but fun day. 


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, turquoise tassel earrings, Jaase Semika mini dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and denim, Jaase Semika mini dress and trench coat, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in third trimester.

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
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: vintage 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.

Other ways to wear: suede moto jacket and printed dress, geo print scarf with purple, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag and green skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner '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
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Polene 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.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, gold and turquoise earrings, bird print scarf, pink tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, bird print scarf and denim jacket, pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and pencil skirt.

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:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: thrifted 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 dress, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and printed jeans, leopard print scarf and knit, denim dress without jacket, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and band tee.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: ASOS crinkle oversized leopard print scarf
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted 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.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, silver earrings, leopard print scarf, orange tiered maxi dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print scarf and ombre knit, orange tiered maxi dress and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

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:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Adidas 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 scarf, cheetah print cami, zip detail jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and skirt, mustard scarf and dress, cheetah 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:

Jacket: Witchery 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
Shoes: thrifted 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 wear: black 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:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: black 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:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca 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).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and jeans, Louis Vuitton scarf and skirt, coral floral print wrap dress with yellow, blue Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

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:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Singlet: Kmart navy ribbed tank

Tank: River Island floral print sleeveless shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: cobalt 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.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line 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
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this one was a bit more neutral, with the brown printed tank, and then matching black leather jacket, black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black Converse. I wore a black bag with this too, my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody. 

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. 

Last worn: black leather jacket, brown printed tank, Louis Vuitton shawl, Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and dress, brown printed tank and skirt, Louis Vuitton shawl and dress, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: button up tank in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.
