Denim Jackets and Dresses With Blue Bags and Converse

I wore this Kmart denim jacket with denim dresses, blue Converse, and blue Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit, although I did regret not packing leggings to wear with it! This was during our little staycation at Sea World Resort on the Gold Coast. I picked this dress as it packs well, the viscose doesn't crease easily and you can't see any creases that do form with the excess fabric, the tiers and the print. With the long sleeves I was hoping the denim jacket would be enough to keep me warm on the short walk from our hotel room to one of the hotel restaurants.

It was later in the evening, after dinner, where I'd wished I'd had the leggings, as we spent some time outside before heading back to our rooms. Thankfully being winter the staff had a few fire pits setup so I was warm sitting in front of them, but cold for the short walk back to the room.

The blue Converse and blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag were what I'd worn around the theme park earlier in the day - I just tried to dress this up a little with the necklace, then I didn't have to pack any extra accessories.


Last worn: denim jacket, rose gold glitter necklace, Jaase Celine floral dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine floral dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and pink dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: thrifted Kmart tiered little black dress (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

This little black dress is a recent opshop find, and like all the new fashion additions to my wardrobe, I was eager to wear it twice in the month I bought it. It meant layering it up a little for this very cold morning where I had a couple of errands to run. I added the leggings and the fun heart print scarf. Although the scarf was really for a bit of colour and print as much as warmth! With the black dress and black leggings the outfit needed the scarf for a bit more colour, the blue Converse and light denim jacket weren't enough of a boost, even with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag for a little more colour I felt a scarf was needed.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was how the dress stuck to the leggings - I am looking forward to warmer weather where I can enjoy this dress without the extra layer! The leggings were a practical choice in the cold though.


Last worn: Anko denim jacket (above), heart studs, heart print scarf, blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag. It's the first time I've worn the dress as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Anko denim jacket and skirt, heart print scarf with red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff blue 5-zip bag and shorts.

Two Ways To Wear Kmart Berry Pink Seam Detail Knit Jumper

This Kmart berry seam detail knit jumper is the only new (not pre-loved) piece I bought last month. I saw it on sale in store near the checkouts and couldn't resist picking it up. I'm such an impulse shopper sometimes! I've enjoyed wearing it so far, it's nice and cosy for Brisbane's winter days.

In both of these outfits, I've worn the pink jumper to the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
Knit: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This leather moto jacket was an amazing preloved find at the fashion markets a while back and I love it in winter, it's got really spacious sleeves so it's easy to layer a knit jumper like this underneath it.

With the cosy jumper on top and the leather jacket, I decided to wear this pretty maxi skirt. It is light and one I wear in summer as well, but with the cosy top layers I wasn't too cold in the early morning commute to work. I wore pink Converse although the shades of pink are different from the knit, I thought a little extra colour was needed with all the black.

I wore the Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC for a touch more colour as well, I liked how well it matched this new beaded necklace I made.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, silver hoop earrings, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it, and knit as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and dress, black maxi skirt and blazer, pink Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

For another office day, I again wore this berry pink seam detail jumper with a skirt. A pencil skirt this time, and I went with purple accessories. I really like pink and purple together. Although the purple resin floral statement earrings and the plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote are different shades of purple, I thought they were far enough apart that they worked well together in this outfit with the pink jumper.

I wore this navy suede jacket to match the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt, and of course I needed some fleece lined tights for the cold commute, even with ankle boots I needed my legs covered up! Just like above, I really liked this outfit, it was another good way to wear this berry jumper.


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, purple resin flower earrings, berry seam detail knit jumper (above), navy jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and dress, navy jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

Kisschasy Band Tees, Skinny Jeans, Converse and Grey Cardigan

Two very similar outfits, with the same cardigan, jeans, shoes and bag and Kisschasy band tees for a staycation at Sea World resort recently on the Gold Coast over the winter school holidays.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Wore this for our trip down the coast and to spend the day enjoying the theme park. I knew that it would warm up during the day so I thought this light grey cardigan was all I would need. And although I didn't warm up enough to take it off it was a good layer to have. Had so much fun with the kids going on all the rides, making the most of them being a little taller than out last visit and being able to go on all the rides they wanted.

The little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC was all I needed to keep the essentials handy. I had a big reusable tote for everyone's water bottles and some snacks for through the day.


Last worn: grey belted cardigan, Kisschasy band tee, zip detail jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and dress, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, zip detail jeans and pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

Early morning view from our balcony before day two of theme parking - kicking off with a buffet breakfast that honestly isn't the best way to start a day of multiple rollercoaster rides, ha! Although it did mean we were still so full at lunchtime we could just treat ourselves to ice cream for lunch.

Again I wore the same grey cardigan as I had the day before, along with the zip detail skinny jeans, and blue Converse and same blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really simplified packing by bringing as few things as possible. Although I expected this day to be cooler it really warmed up so much, I did have to take the cardigan off a couple times during the day.

Since I'd worn a Kisschasy band tee in the outfit above, and I wanted to simplify packing, I decided to make it a band tee weekend, and I wore this other older Kisschasy band tee I have. I liked it with the blue converse and mini MAC bag.


Last worn: grey belted cardigan (above), blue Kisschasy band tee, zip detail skinny jeans (above), blue Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: grey belted cardigan and pink jeans, blue Kisschasy band tee and skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and trench, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff sky grey mini MAC and shorts.

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.

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.

Long Skirts, Blazers and Tanks With Converse and Silver Mini MAC

Longer skirts for the office. Both of these outfits are the same basic outfit formula, with tanks, blazers, Converse and then a long skirt. I like easily repeatable outfit formulas, especially for office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Top: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler morning so I definitely needed an extra layer over this tank with my bare shoulders for the morning commute. This grey jersey blazer was perfect, adds a little more formality to the green broderie midi skirt and the black linen tank. It also kept me warm travelling to and from work, and when it got a little too cold in the office. I did have to pop out for a quick errand before lunch, and left my blazer behind as the sun came out and it was a beautifully warm day!

Went very matchy-matchy with the accessories. The white Converse were a good neutral, but the silver circle stud earrings and the silver circle necklace I couldn't resist matching together. And then of course a silver bag, this Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC, was the obvious choice.

Last worn: Mimco stud earrings, circle necklace, grey jersey blazer, black linen blend tank, green broderie midi skirt, white leather Converse, silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: grey jersey blazer and dress, black linen blend tank and jeans, green broderie midi skirt and tee, white leather Converse and shorts, silver mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC in third trimester..

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace (new purchase)
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit, and all the matchy-matchy again! I thrifted this pretty terrazzo print tank, along with the hammered silver circle earrings and the hammered silver statement necklace. Don't they make such a good accessory pair? Once again with all that silver I wore my Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag. Even the Converse matched this time, I couldn't resist wearing these pink Converse mum got me recently as they match the pink parts in the printed tank so nicely. With the black blazer and black maxi skirt being an easy match too I really liked this outfit. Sometimes I just want to match all the things!

The only downside of this outfit was that the earrings kept falling out - luckily I didn't loose them, but it was a bit frustrating. I ended up bending the posts to try keep them in place better halfway through the day, and that seemed to work.


Last worn: black blazer, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace, earrings and tank as they are a recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and denim skirt, black maxi skirt and leather jacket, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black blazer in third trimester, silver mini MAC bag in second trimester.

Grey Tees With Green And Denim Skirts

Two grey tee and denim skirt outfits for the school run and WFH days, both featuring grey and green with colourful printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was an exciting day for my son with an excursion he'd been really looking forward to. Unfortunately his brother still had school, so I had a couple of drop offs to coordinate before working from home and then arranging different pick ups in the afternoon. They both had a good day though!

I wanted to be comfortable so I went with a tee and denim combination, as I seem to be defaulting to a lot for working from home days lately! As it was a little chilly in the autumn morning I added this green floral print duster. It brightens the grey tee and grey denim skirt combination nicely, as does the fun colourful tassel necklace. I also liked the extra physical sunblock it provided when I was outside in the afternoon.

The periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty is one I've worn with this green floral duster a lot, I like the blue and green together.

Last worn: green floral duster, tassel necklace, grey tee, Nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, grey tee and printed skirt, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket:  thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Skirt: Jeanswest light olive denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and doing the school run, another grey tee and denim skirt combination! As you can see in the first outfit, I have no issue pairing different shades of grey together, and I like wearing multiple different shades of blue in my outfits. I thought I'd try something a little different with this outfit and wear different shades of green. The light olive denim skirt is a very different shade from the bright almost neon green in the pam print cover up, but I think the colours looked good together with the blue in the print between them.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral with another grey tee, and the little metallic silver mini MAC bag.


Last worn: palm print cover up, grey tee, feather necklace, olive denim skirt, Havaianas (above), metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: palm print cover up and jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, olive denim skirt with yellow, metallic silver mini MAC and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: silver mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Striped Tees And Skinny Jeans To Work From Home

More autumn weather means more jeans! An old favourite pair and a newer pair I got for Christmas, both with striped tees.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans (Christmas present)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn this Coca-Cola logo striped tee, an opshop find quite a while ago. It was the perfect pairing with these teal skinny jeans. I got the jeans for Christmas from our pre-Christmas opshopping day, and I have been waiting for the perfect weather to wear them! A rainy day after the cyclone, with working from home and the kids being back at school, was a great time to get them out. They are very comfortable!

I liked the little pop of red from the logo in the tee with the teal jeans, but I kept the rest of the outfit simple with no other accessories and just my little blue mini MAC bag.


Last worn: striped tee, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the jeans as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wear: striped tee and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Repeating the striped tee and skinny jeans combination again as I enjoyed it in the outfit above! It was another working from home day for me. Although the majority of the post-cyclone Alfred flooding had gone down I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to make it all the way to the office, so I worked from home. Thankfully we hadn't lost power so while I was working the kids were able to enjoy playing computer games, as their school was unfortunately damaged by the cyclone and it took a little longer to be made safe and opened back up to students.

Just like the first outfit, I found this really comfortable, although there was no school run this time I did get out to walk the dogs and continue to check on people in the neighbourhood I saw after the wild weather. We were really lucky to have no damage.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, rust striped tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: rust striped tee and shorts, zip detail skinny jeans and graphic tee, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Colourful Tees and Pencil Skirts

Two simple but colourful office outfits with crew neck tees, textured pencil skirts, Converse and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I like green and blue together, so it seems like an obvious pairing to wear this navy jacquard pencil skirt with the green crew neck tee. Of course I couldn't settle on just one shade of blue with this tee, so I added more. The tee is a really nice green that goes with everything, from the pastel blue of the Converse or the darker bluey-grey of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the navy in the statement necklace and pencil skirt.

It's been a while since I've worn this necklace, but the green tee with the high neckline was the perfect backdrop for it I felt.


Last worn: statement necklace, green tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Because I love a good easily repeatable outfit formula, another office day and the same outfit. This time I went with a red tee and a textured silver pencil skirt. Again I added a statement necklace, Converse and a little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. This aquamarine one adds a touch more colour to the outfit, it's a great pop against the coral red of the tee.

I did add a few more accessories to this to try and elevate the outfit a little for the office, with another statement necklace, the silver hoop earrings, and the silver cuff bracelet. Just like the outfit above, while the colours and pieces are different, I really like this outfit formula of tee, pencil skirt and Converse for my business casual office.


Last worn: coral tee, silver hoop earrings, faux pearl necklace, silver pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, silver pencil skirt and jacket, white Converse and dress, aqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.
