30 Ways to Wear: Atmos&Here Navy Marle Scoop Neck Tee | Magnificent 8 Restyled

This quarter's magnificent 8 post theme is "restyled" where we will each be rewearing a piece we've worn for previous Magnificent 8 collaborative posts. As I was due to share another 30 wears post, I was pleased to see that this Atmos&Here navy marl scoop neck tee is something I've exceeded 30 wears with, and wore in a previous Magnificent 8 post as well.

30 Ways to Wear: Atmos&Here Navy Marle Scoop Neck Tee

Cost Per Wear

As I've worn this tee 33 times, I was expecting a good cost per wear for it. I actually got it on sale, with an extra coupon code discount, back in June 2016. It was just $8.74, so for 33 wears, that works out at 29 cents a wear, great value indeed. I've also exceeded 30 wears on the chambray maxi skirt I bought in the same sale order, so I've gotten a lot of value from that sale order.

This navy tee has been in my wardrobe for 8 years, so I'm surprised it's not hit 30 wears sooner! It's a great basic tee, and as it's got a slightly curved cropped hem (although it's just normal length on my petite self) it looks great worn over dresses, as well as with the navy tee staples of denim, shorts and skirts. It still looks new, so I've got a lot more wear to get from it! Here are 30 of my favourite ways I've worn it so far. 

Navy Tee and Pink Outfits

Blue and pink is one of those combinations I'll always wear! And as you can see in these 5 outfits, with the neutral navy marle tee, all different shades of pink work well with it. From the neon pink bag, to leopard print jeans, pastel pink jeans or even the magenta jeans on the top right.

Orange and Navy Tee Outfits

Surprisingly I haven't worn as much orange with this tee as I thought I would have - I feel orange really pops when you wear it with navy! I like it with the orange shorts and skirt, but a smaller piece of orange like that little peach bag in the first outfit is a great accessory with navy too.

Navy Tee and Green

"Blue and green should never be seen" is one of those silly rules I used to follow, but since I've been wearing green more often I've realised how nicely green and blue compliment each other. All different shades of green, like the olive shorts, emerald green duster, or moss coloured jeans, look great next to the navy tee. 

Shorts Outfits With A Navy Tee

Shorts and a tee is a summer staple! I might throw a cover up on top for a little extra print and colour, or even just some sun coverage. But as you can see in the majority of these shorts outfits, a simple pair of shorts and a navy tee is a nice easy outfit on its own.

Navy Tee and Black

I tend to wear this navy tee a lot with black in the cooler weather - something about winter has me reaching for all the neutrals, and black jeans, or black blazers or knits, are a nice addition to a neutral navy tee. Sometimes as you can see in the first 3 outfits, I add a bit of colour with an accessory, but as in that last outfit, it's nice to just have a neutral filled outfit with the navy tee sometimes too.

Navy Tee and Purple

Blue and purple is another colour duo I frequently wear! Just as with the other colour combinations I've shared in this post, I think different shades of purple are great with this navy tee. The little plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB bag in the first and last outfits there is a favourite accessory with this navy tee, but the deeper purple bag and jeans in the middle there look good too!

Skirts and Dress Outfits With Navy Tee

As you read above, this tee is such a good layering piece. In that outfit photo in the middle there I've layered it over a maxi dress. The other outfits in this set of 5 are simple skirt outfits, but in the outfit photos earlier in the post I've shared the tee over a dress again as well. I love the look of the tee over a maxi skirt or a maxi dress, and being navy, as you've seen from all the photos in this post, it works with so many different prints and colours.

Magnificent 8 In Pantone Colour Of The Year Peach Fuzz

For this quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post, we picked the theme of Peach Fuzz! It's the Pantone colour of the year for 2024. And like most of the colours from previous years, I have a couple of pieces already in my wardrobe that could allow me to embrace the trend without buying anything new.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace

Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: thrifted white leather All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day with the school run, an appointment for my son, and working from home. While it was autumn, it was still pretty hot so I needed something light and quick to wear, this dress was perfect. It isn't completely matching the peach fuzz colour of the year, but it certainly has tones of that peach in the print.

And since I had the colour in mind for this post I went all out and paired the peach palm print dress with the small Rebecca Minkoff Love bag in peachy pale coral. I wouldn't have paired the dress and bag together without the prompt of this collaboration post, but I'm glad I did wear them together as I really liked the combination! Was great to give this thrifted dress another wear before the autumn weather really arrives in Brisbane too.


Last worn: tiered palm print dress, thrifted station necklace, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag. First time I've worn the Converse as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: tiered palm print dress and denim jacket, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: thrifted white leather All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

Wore this for weekend swim lessons and then an overdue catch up with my friend at her place. It was predicted to be cooler day than the one above, so I thought I'd wear ankle boots with this linen dress. The rain held off until later in the evening though so I went with the same leather Converse again.

And once more I wore the peach small Rebecca Minkoff Love bag. I liked the combination with the yellow. Again, it was this post that gave me the idea of pairing the dress and bag together, I'd never thought of wearing the two together before. But knowing I was going to feature this peach bag in the post as it so perfectly meets the theme, and seeing this dress in my wardrobe, I wanted to give them a try. Loved this combination also!


Last worn: tiered linen dress, Ruby Olive necklace, leather Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff small love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered linen dress and blue bag, Rebecca Minkoff small love bag and maxi dress.

Magnificent 8: Lunar New Year - Year Of The Dragon

For our first Magnificent 8 style post for 2024, we are doing Lunar New year! 2024 is the year of the dragon. And a fun way to theme our first collaboration post of the year.

While the luckiest colours to wear for Lunar new year depend on your Chinese zodiac sign, red and gold are common colours to wear to welcome in the new year, so I put together some red and gold outfits to meet the theme. Neither of these outfits I will be wearing to celebrate Lunar new year (we have a big traditional feast for Lunar new year, cooked by my Asian in-laws). While they are not the ones I am planning to wear, they would definitely both work for Lunar new year!

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold

Why I wore it:

This was another wet and humid summer day! We'd thought about going to the beach but the weather put an end to that when the rain set in for the morning. In the end we headed to a local indoor pool to splash around a bit instead. This Kmart coral tiered maxi dress is a nice shade of red and a great cover up for my swimmers. I had the big swim bag with everyone's change of clothes and towels, so just needed a little crossbody bag for my essentials like keys and phone. This micro Regan bag was perfect for it, and worked well when I ran a few errands before our swim too.

I like the mustard yellow with the coral red of the dress, and the official name for the colour is 'harvest gold' so I felt it met our theme well. The gold circle necklace added a little more gold as well.


Last worn: tiered midi dress, gold circle necklace, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

Other ways to wear: tiered midi dress for Christmas, tan slides and printed dress, mustard micro Regan bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Jacket: Local Women's Handicrafts gold and burgundy silk kimono
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee (Christmas present)
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

I actually considered wearing this tee to celebrate Lunar new year with the family! I got it for Christmas and it's the perfect deep shade of red, and with the red and gold cover up it seemed perfectly themed for the occasion. I've decided on another outfit, but figured I'd still give this one a wear. Rather than black or white denim shorts I went with these turquoise linen ones, just because black and white aren't as good colours to wear to usher in the new year.

I added my little blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag for the same reason - more blue! And my comfortable Kmart tan slides which have almost never been off my feet since I unwrapped them on Christmas day!

This was a nice and comfortable shorts and tee outfit for a playdate. I added the gold necklace for a bit of matchy-matchy with the print on the cover up, and because it meets the Lunar new year theme.

Last worn: silk cover up, double pendant necklace, turquoise shorts, tan slides (above), Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the red tee as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: silk cover up and white shorts, turquoise shorts and band tee, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and denim.

Magnificent 8 - Simply Red

I had the hardest time coming up with outfits to share for this quarter's Magnificent 8. I was just overwhelmed with choice! We decided to feature red as it's a great power colour, but I have so much red in my wardrobe. Even though I've been wearing a lot of pink lately, I have no shortage of red things to wear. In the end I went with the most red thing I own, a dress, and then a second outfit with just a couple pops of red from accessories.

What I wore:

Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day, but so hot! We headed out to try out a new park and have lunch with my family and my aunt who was visiting the coast recently. The new park was wonderful, so many different play spaces and things for the kids to enjoy! It was really good spending time with the family too, even if the park was so popular we had to wait a little to use the BBQ and cook lunch.

Knew this Kmart tiered dress would be perfect for the heat - it's nice and light for hot days, and there was a lovely breeze to keep us cool. I did wonder if this dress quite made the theme for the Magnificent 8 prompt, as it's more coral than a true red, but I decided it was close enough!

The sandals were a must have with the warm weather, and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull is always a practical choice to load up with water bottles for a BBQ in the park.


Last worn: clay earrings, Kmart coral tiered midi dress, yellow tassel necklace, gladiator sandals, Louis Vuitton MM neverfull.
 
Other ways to wear: Kmart coral tiered midi dress and scarf, studded sandals worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways..

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in third trimester.

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
Tank: Cotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack and red gem bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This was a much more neutral outfit than the one above, before I added all the red accessories to it. If wearing a lot of a power colour seems like too much, there is always accessories to let you add a touch of it to your outfit!

This grey tank and cute ruffle hem leopard print skirt were a great neutral base to my outfit, especially with the studded sandals. I knew the red saddle bag would be great against them, and it's roomier than it looks! I had all the essentials plus a book in there as while I was working from home, I had an appointment to attend before picking the kids up from school.

Echoed the reds and browns with the bracelet stack, but still felt this outfit was missing a little something, so added the red Alexander McQueen skull print scarf. I like print mixing with these skull scarves, even if I only wore the scarf for the school drop off in the morning, as the weather warmed up so quickly it wasn't needed later in the afternoon.


Last worn: red skull scarf, grey tank, Target animal print skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: red skull scarf and dress, grey tank and shorts, Target animal print skirt and leather jacket, studded sandals and jeans, red unlined studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: red skull scarf in third trimester, grey tank in third trimester, sandals in second trimester.

Magnificent 8 In Maxi Skirts And Dresses

This quarter's Magnificent 8 themed post is maxi skirts and dresses, which I have no shortage of in my wardrobe! Despite it being winter here in Brisbane, I still get my maxi skirts out now and then. While they are worn most often in the warmer weather, I can easily layer them up for our snow free winters.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

I did actually wear this back in June, when it was a little warmer as it was just the first month of winter. I really like this lightweight maxi skirt on hot days, but in cooler weather it needs a few more layers. Ankle boots were a must! With the gorgeous ochre shade of the skirt, I've enjoyed wearing different colours of burgundy with it lately, so this white and burgundy striped long sleeved tee was the perfect accompaniment with it, and the denim jacket was a good layer. I definitely needed the jacket for the cooler weather of the school run, but in the afternoon when we had an appointment after school, I was able to go without the jacket and still be warm enough.

It had been a while since I'd worn this cute turquoise Balenciaga first bag, so I got it out again. I love how it looks with the orange skirt, and with only the school run, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon, I didn't need to carry much so this was a great size.

Last worn: denim jacket, circle necklace, burgundy stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, tan ankle boots, Balenciaga turquoise first bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, burgundy stripe tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and band tee, tan ankle boots and dress, Balenciaga turquoise first bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, burgundy stripe tee in third trimester.

My Balenciaga Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

This was a much colder day than the one above, so warmer layers were needed! Instead of ankle boots, I went with Converse under my maxi skirt, as I had a little break during my work from home day to go cheer my son on in his sporting event. Needed comfortable shoes for a lot of standing around. With the navy tee, grey striped maxi skirt, and the black leather jacket, this outfit was cosy, but a bit dull for cheering on my son. I added the mustard scarf, as yellow and blue always look so good together and I thought it would help my son spot me in the crowd! It worked well for that.

Unlike the outfit above, I went with a classic black bag this time, my Balenciaga part time bag with giant silver hardware. I had my camera as well as a water bottle. It was quite a windy day so I appreciated the thick leather jacket keeping me warm as I stood on the side lines. And when I went back to working from home, the jersey maxi skirt and navy tee were such a comfortable outfit.

Last worn: leather jacket, navy frill sleeve tee, mustard scarf, pinstripe maxi skirt, black Converse, Balenciaga part time bag.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and dress, navy frill sleeve tee and shorts, mustard scarf and little black dress, pinstripe maxi skirt and graphic tee, black Converse and pencil skirt, Balenciaga part time bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga part time bag in second trimester.

Blazers Worn 2 Ways For Magnificent 8

This quarter's Magnificent 8 theme is blazers! Which is perfect timing for me, as I've been in the office more often, and as the autumn weather has finally started to arrive in Brisbane, I've been wearing my blazers more!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

My favourite way to wear a blazer is to pair it with jeans, and so I was really happy it was a cool enough morning to wear this outfit! My mum gave me these white jeans for Christmas. I'd been looking for white jeans for a while and tried on so many pairs, but when I saw these cropped Dannii Minogue ones at Target I knew I'd found the perfect pair. Mum bought me for me and I've been patiently waiting for the weather to be cool enough to wear them.

My office was on the casual end of business casual, even before the pandemic, so a bit of double denim on a weekday with this chambray cami was perfect. Especially with the blush blazer to make it just a little more formal. I really liked the lighter colours of this outfit, and how I managed to keep the white jeans clean for the whole day!


Last worn: blush blazer, chambray cami, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. It's the first time I've worn the white jeans as they were a Christmas gift, and the first time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn two ways, chambray cami and denim skirt, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with fuchsia dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester, white Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

I like blazers and shorts too, although I definitely don't get to wear that combination as often as I do with blazers and jeans, as the weather has to be just right for it. It was an overcast day and a cooler morning so I thought it was the perfect time to try this combination again! I really liked the pastel blue culotte shorts with the grey blazer. The navy tee was the perfect piece in between the similar tones, although I do wish it hadn't come partially untucked for the photos! The peach necklace, a recently thrifted find, I thought matched with the print on the culottes well, as did the dusty pink of the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag. 

I really liked all the colours in this outfit and the pieces together, although I was a little disappointed when I had to shed the blazer when the sun came out and the humidity rose. The blazer definitely wasn't needed for the school pick up in the afternoon!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, navy tee, printed culotte shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, navy tee and jeans, printed culotte shorts and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag

I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!

It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style

Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.

Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.

Magenta Bag With Purple

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.

Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!

Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!

Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.

Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.
