Blue Tops, Printed Maxi Skirts and Pink Bags

For a couple of busy days before Christmas with the school run and working from home, I wore blue tops and printed maxi skirts with little pink Rebecca Minkoff bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Cami: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was what I wore on my last day at work for the year, back in December. As it was such a warm day I went with this chambray cami and light floral print maxi skirt. I like the slits up the side for catching the breeze on hot days like this was. It was a very busy day trying to wrap everything up for the last working day of the year, but I still had a little time to squeeze in an appointment before school pick up.

I didn't need to carry much so I picked this little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag to carry the essentials. I really liked the redyed pink shade with the pink flowers in the floral print maxi skirt.


Last worn: avocado earrings, chambray cami, wooden necklace, floral maxi skirt, Havaianas, redyed mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: chambray cami and jeans, floral maxi skirt with purple, redyed mini MAC bag and dress.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Tee: teal Strange Planet 'wildly unprepared for the day' graphic tee
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

This was another busy day working from home and trying to fit everything in, although not as busy as the day above as it wasn't my last day at work for the year. I just had less time to work as I had a couple of hours off in the afternoon to see my son perform, before it was off to sports in the evening. When I was getting dressed that morning I knew that my "Wildly unprepared for the day" graphic tee would be the perfect thing to wear. I went with a maxi skirt again, they are so good in the summer weather, and I like this vertical striped one as it has pockets.

I added a pink bag as I was inspired by the pink backpack in the graphic print, although maybe I should have went for a deeper pink one to match a little better. The studded MAB was a good sized bag for carrying everything I needed for the day though, it fits all my essentials plus easily held my camera as well for my son's performance.


Last worn: mini gingerbread earrings, Strange Planet graphic tee, vertical stripe maxi skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Strange Planet graphic tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag and jeans.

Casual Christmas Red & Green Maxi Skirt Outfits

I had a lot of fun wearing these outfits! Red and green skirts with printed tees for some Christmas events before the big day. Hope you are having a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with your loved ones.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas deer antler tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka resin bangles in red and teal
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Had to break out this Christmas tee again that mum made me, for our annual family Christmas trip to the Movie World White Christmas evening event. This year we surprised the boys by going down earlier in the day, before the evening event started, so we had some extra time at the theme park.

I thought the cotton tiered maxi skirt would keep me cool and comfortable, as it was such a humid day. We kept cool by drinking lots of water, and you got a good breeze on the rollercoasters!

To make my outfit a little more Christmas-like I added the resin bangle sets, and just wore my little black Mimco bag for my camera and essentials. I carried a big reusable tote bag for our water bottles, which were refilled frequently.

The only thing I regretted about this outfit was the glitter gingerbread earrings. Perfectly on-theme for the evening's event, but not the best choice when they were flying around in my face on all the rollercoasters, ha!


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, Tiffany necklace, cream resin bracelet stack, red and green resin bracelets, reindeer tee, tiered maxi skirt, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: reindeer tee and shorts, tiered maxi skirt in winter, white leather Converse, Mimco crossbody bag and blazer.

What I wore:

Earrings: DIY green clay Christmas tree earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

I wasn't too sure this outfit would work but I was eager to give it a try! I really like this green broderie skirt around Christmas time, although it is something I wear other times of the year too, it gets a work out in December! Last time I wore this skirt with a printed top I wasn't too happy with the final result, but I liked the subtle gold foil star print on this tee and thought it wasn't too busy with the broderie fabric of the skirt, so I was happy to wear it.

We had a couple of errands to run in the morning, and then in the afternoon and evening we went to the local carol service. I added a little extra festive colour with the red Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag, and I wore my clay Christmas tree earrings even though they didn't match the green of the skirt exactly. Thankfully the storm held off so we got to enjoy the carols and the closing fireworks before the rain arrived on our drive home.


Last worn: Christmas tree earrings, star foil print tee, broderie skirt, rose gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: star foil print tee with black, broderie skirt and blazer, rose gold sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Green and Red: Blue Singlet and Maxi Skirt Outfits

Wearing skirts and singlets for some very humid summer days in Brisbane! Both these outfits feature the same basic formula, just with different colours.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold angel stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this to go to church and run a couple of errands afterwards. I really like this thrifted tiered maxi skirt, it's the perfect in-between red and orange shade so it looks so good with a neutral like navy. I added a little more colour to it with the fun tassel necklace, also an opshop find.

I added even more blue with the Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. It's been a while since I've worn it, and it works so well with red and other shades of blue that it seemed like the obvious accessory for this outfit.


Last worn: angel stud earrings, navy tank, tassel necklace, tiered maxi skirt, sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and shorts, tiered maxi skirt and denim jacket, sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and dress.

What I wore:

Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

As I so often do, this outfit is me repeating an outfit formula again that worked so well previously. I chose a brighter blue tank to wear with this green broderie midi skirt, and added a little extra green with my avocado Santa hat earrings and the green hair tie. I had to tie my hair back as it was just too hot and humid to leave it down! We had a birthday party at an indoor play place to attend in the morning, and then we were planning to view the Christmas lights in the evening. Unfortunately the massive storms that blew in meant we couldn't keep to our evening plans, but at least the kids had fun at the birthday party.

Wore my big Chloe Marcie shoulder bag as it holds all the essentials easily, and it has extra space for water bottles for the kids. It's thirsty work at an indoor play area for a birthday party, especially on such a humid day!


Last worn: avocado earrings, bronze foil necklace, blue singlet, green broderie skirt, leather Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: blue singlet and shorts, green broderie skirt and blazer, leather Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue singlet in second trimester.

Colourful Tees Black and White Maxi Skirts

Adding some colour to two different black and white printed maxi skirts with these simple tees. I've been reaching for maxi skirts quite often lately when the summer days are not too hot and humid.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag:  Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I struggled a bit for what to wear on this day! I was working from home, but we had a themed event I'd be joining via video call so I wanted to be comfortable but also wearing something pink to meet the theme. After work I wanted to be a bit covered up for sports in the evening to provide a physical barrier against the mozzies. Ended up settling on this bright pink tee with the black and white maxi skirt. I love plain block colour tees like this as they go with all the prints in my wardrobe!

With the school run, working from home and sports in the evening, I didn't need to carry much and certainly not as much as this large bag can hold. I  still wore my Chloe Marcie bag though as it's been a while since I've worn it and it was overdue a wear.


Last worn: gingerbread man earrings, pink tee, wood and silicone necklace, black printed maxi skirt, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.
 
Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, black printed maxi skirt in neutral outfit, braided sandals and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold gingerbread house earrings
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a subtle way to try red and green. very subtle with the teal Mimco crossbody bag and the pale coral tee. I felt it was a nice themed combination along with the little gingerbread house earrings! I've been enjoying wearing all my Christmas themed earrings this year. Both the coral tee and the vertical striped maxi skirt, like the necklace, are all opshop finds. I really like this skirt as it's nice and light for a warm day - it was perfect as the kids had a sport event on and the rain had cleared up turning it into a very humid day.

Wore my comfortable black Converse as I had a bit of driving to do, to and from the kids event, and needed to support my knee.


Last worn: gingerbread house earrings, coral tee, terrazzo necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, black Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and blazer.

Orange Maxi Skirts, White Tees and Mimco Black Crossbody Bag

Another easy outfit formula repeated twice. Two orange maxi skirt outfits with white tees and my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd last worn this orange maxi skirt, so got it out again to wear to church. I liked the simple white tee with it, but felt it needed a little more and this statement beaded necklace was perfect. The burgundy and natural wood beads work so well with the ochre maxi skirt and look good against the plain white tee. I added simple sandals as it was a hot day, and my little black Mimco crossbody bag.


Last worn: white v-neck tee, statement beaded necklace, ochre maxi skirt, sandals, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: white v-neck tee and denim skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, sandals and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I recreated it again following the same outfit formula, with this bright coral maxi skirt. It's a beautiful bright redish-orange in person and I love how colourful it is. It was NWT at the opshop for just $7 too, such a bargain! I wore my textured white tee with it to add a little more detail, but still added a statement necklace on top. This multi strand tassel one is nice and colourful.

Wore another pair of sandals as well. These ones, like the skirt and necklace, were an opshop find too. Good outfit for a day of working from home, doing the school run, and running a couple of errands. I didn't need to carry more than the essentials, so I wore my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag again.


Last worn: white tee, statement necklace, colourful maxi skirt, leopard print sandals, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: white tee and shorts, colourful maxi skirt and leather jacket, leopard print sandals and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and blazer.

Pink Tees and Black And White Maxi Skirts With Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Two very colourful outfits, by wearing pink tees with monochromatic black and white printed maxi skirts.

What I wore:

Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus old neon pink bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Kicking off the school holidays the kids went to a vet convention at a nearby vets - it was designed to give the kids a taste for vet life and they loved it, getting to see the animals, the operating rooms, and even had some doggie patients. I even managed a little browse at the opshop too, dropping off more donations, before the kids saw a movie.

I wore this vertical striped maxi skirt as I felt it hadn't been worn in a while! And I thought the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and black sandals were good matchy-matchy accessories with it. Even the knotted heart necklace matched the silver hardware on the Falabella bag.

The neon pink bracelets don't match the pink of the tee at all, but I saw them in my wardrobe and thought they would be a fun addition with this. With the chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag and the bangles on my wrist, this was quite a noisy outfit whenever I moved! I still liked it though.

Last worn: pink tee, knotted heart necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, strappy sandals, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, strappy sandals and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: Ana Luisa 'Olivia' tassel earrings in pink
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

Kept it really simple here for another kids' birthday party, with the black and white printed maxi skirt and the ombre pink tee. Just like the outfit above, I wore the same black strappy sandals, with the Stella McCartney Falabella bag for a little matchy-matchy. Unlike the outfit above though, I didn't add a necklace to this. I thought the ombre pink of the tee was interesting enough, and just added some statement earrings. I did wonder if I should have worn a necklace with this when I looked at the photos, but it didn't worry me when I was wearing the outfit as just like the outfit above, I enjoyed wearing this. The birthday party was really fun too, the kids always have a great time when the party is at the bowling alley!


Last worn: tassel earrings, ombre tee, black and white maxi skirt, strappy sandals (above), Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: ombre tee and shorts, black and white maxi skirt in monochromatic outfit, strappy sandals and jeans, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Pre-Loved Printed Pieces & Purple Paraty Bag

I've been opshopping a lot recently and while I've been focusing at picking up more books to read forgot myself and the boys I can never resist a little browse of the rest of the store!

On my last trip I thrifted both of these fun printed pieces, the Paisley print cover up as well as the black and white printed maxi skirt.

What I wore:

 

Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster (new purchase)
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Jenni basic singlet in Royal Lilac purple
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

It was a warmer day so I dressed simply for the school run and working from home, with the singlet and denim mini skirt. I thought with the purple in the Paisley print of this cover up that this purple tank would look great with it, the shades are a pretty close match! I really liked the two pieces together, great first wear of this newly thrifted printed cover up.

I added more purple with the Chloe wine purple Paraty. It's a different shade from the others but I liked it with this outfit and the colours in the print, I thought it worked so well. Added the big gold necklace to match with the statement gold hardware on the small Chloe Paraty bag.


Last worn: purple singlet, double circle pendant necklace, denim mini skirt, leather Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: purple singlet and shorts, denim mini skirt and florals, leather Converse and dress, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another working from home day, minus the school run as it was a pupil free day! I had a couple errands to run in the afternoon after work, but again just wore a simple singlet with the heat. For the first wearing of this black and white printed maxi skirt I thought I'd keep it simple and neutral with the metallic silver tank, and went a little matchy-matchy with the black sandals and the black statement necklace. Both those accessories are opshop finds too!

Did want a little more colour with this outfit when I put it on though so again I wore my small wine purple Chloe Paraty bag. I liked the darker purple against the neutral black white and silver outfit.


Last worn: metallic singlet, black statement necklace, Chloe wine purple Paraty (above). First time I've worn the skirt and the sandals as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: metallic singlet and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty and dress.

Maxi Skirts, Navy Tees, Denim Jackets and Chloe Paraty Bag

Some spring maxi skirt outfits I wore recently, both with navy tees, denim jackets and blue bags. Both of these skirts were opshop finds.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This cotton maxi skirt was awesome on this hot day! It has pockets too which is always a winner. I wore it with another thrifted piece, this foil tee. I needed the denim jacket in the cooler morning, although when I was running errands later I'd taken it off, as the day warmed up so much!

The boys had a kid's birthday party and I also had a lot of errands to run. I wore the Chloe Paraty bag as I like the light periwinkle blue with both red and navy, and because it has room for all the essentials plus my latest library book for when I was waiting for an appointment between errands.

Last worn: denim jacket, statement necklace, navy foil tee, red tiered maxi skirt, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, navy foil tee and jeans, red tiered maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This orange maxi skirt is on that is frequently worn with blue. I like the navy tee with it, it's the first time I've worn the two together surprisingly. The denim moto jacket is a frequently worn piece with this skirt though, they look so good together.

Just like the day above I didn't need the denim jacket all day though, with the weather warming up nicely as the kids had a sports session.

The Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag added another shade of blue to this outfit and also has space for all my essentials plus my latest library book so it was an obvious choice to carry.

Last worn: denim jacket, bronze foil necklace, navy tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, navy tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and animal print, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and jeans.

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.
