Leopard Print and Denim Outfits For Autumn With Magenta Marc Jacobs Bag

Sharing two different outfits I wore, one with a skirt and the other with a dress. Both are following a leopard print and denim formula, just with different pieces. And the magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag was the perfect accessory with both.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

I really liked the darker bag and navy tee with this leopard print skirt! I knew when I bought it earlier this year it would layer nicely for cooler weather, and the denim moto jacket was the perfect topper as it wasn't a very cold autumn day. I liked the little matchy-matchy with the navy sneakers and the navy tee too! Needed the sneakers for a little bit of driving around. We had the school run, I had to work from home, and then a few errands to run after school pick up.

Because of the tassels on this skirt I didn't think a long necklace looked quite right, so I went with these two Tiffany ones instead, I really like wearing them together.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, Tiffany heart necklace, Tiffany notes heart necklace, navy tee, leopard print skirt, Sketchers, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and maxi skirt, navy tee and olive shorts, leopard print skirt and pink, Sketchers and denim skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag and matching scarf.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

When I bought this leopard print cardigan in the opshop back in March it was much too hot to wear it - but I'm glad I've been able to give it a wear now we are starting to see some proper autumn weather in Brisbane. It was just the right layer to add over this sleeveless denim dress to keep me warm on the school run in the cooler morning.

As it was a little chillier than I expected it to be when I'd pre-planned this outfit, I added the tall leather boots to keep my legs warm as well. With them and the cardigan I was nice and cosy.

Easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and then running errands in the afternoon once I picked up the kids from school. We had a special gift to collect for my mum for Mother's Day that weekend.


Last worn: silver chandelier earrings, chambray dress, tall leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch (above). First time I've worn the leopard print cardigan as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: chambray dress and scarf, tall leather boots worn 30 ways, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink and purple.

Perfect for pregnancy:  chambray button up dress in second trimester.

Denim Skirts, Navy Tees And Printed Cover Ups With Mini 5-Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two denim skirt and navy tee outfits I wore recently for the work from home and school run days, with bright cover ups and some colourful Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart blue and pink palm print cover up (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Wearing a couple of my recent opshop finds here! This turquoise and silver necklace seems like such an obvious pairing with the turquoise palm print of my cover up. The necklace was $2 and the cover up just $1!

Going a little matchy-matchy I went with a navy tee again to match the navy in the print, and then a distressed denim skirt that goes with everything. The pink iris Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag wasn't a perfect match to the pink in the print, but I liked how it went with the outfit anyway.

Had the usual routine of working from home and doing the school pickup, as well as finishing up my work day a little early to see my son's sports day at school. Comfortable shoes were a must have for standing on the side lines to cheer him on.


Last worn: navy tee, distressed denim skirt, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris mini 5-zip. First time I've worn the necklace and the cover up as they are recent thrift finds.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and green shorts, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Sketchers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris mini 5-zip and floral dress.

What Fits Inside: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 

Why I wore it:

Another navy tee, this time with a white denim skirt I picked up recently in the Target end of summer clearance sale. I have the same skirt in black I thrifted a while back, so had to get this one in white when I saw it on sale!

Because I really like navy and green together, I added this green duster on top. I still felt that the outfit could use a little more colour though, so went with the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag that was the perfect pop against the green of the duster.

Probably could have chosen a colourful necklace with this too, but thought I'd let the bag be the bright pop of colour. Didn't have too much time to try on other necklace options with trying to get the kids out the door to school, so I could get back home in time to log on and work from home before picking them up in the afternoon and running a couple of errands.

Last worn: green floral duster, heart necklace, navy tee, white denim skirt, Havaianas, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, navy tee and maxi skirt, white denim skirt with neon tee, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip with orange.

Chloe Small Paraty, Denim, And Statement Cover Ups

Adding a little extra interest to a plain tee and denim outfit in both of these outfits with statement cover ups. A fun sequin piece and a long flowing duster help to make these outfits stand out a little more.

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Had a bit of a trim for my hair. It's really not growing as fast as I'd like (I'm trying to donate it again) so I thought a little trim would speed up the process! Spent some time shopping afterwards, as well as all going out for lunch. I didn't buy anything for myself but we did have fun buying some birthday presents for the kids and taking advantage of some of the sales to do so!

This sequin kimono is so beautiful and statement-making, one of the sales assistants in the shops said I was "very Harry Styles", haha! I love seeing people's reactions when I wear this, even on just a standard day out shopping with the family. It always makes people smile, I love wearing it! As I said to my sister, it is definitely designed for dancing the night away, but it also just brings me so much joy wearing it with everyday outfits.

Without it this deep purple tee and distressed denim skirt was a bit plain, I really liked how it elevated the outfit a bit. And I loved how similar this purple Chloe Paraty bag is with the deep purple of the tee, they are the perfect pairing.


Last worn: sequin kimono, earrings, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, purple tee, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin kimono worn 2 ways, purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester.

What's In My Bag: Chloe Small Paraty

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

With the blue tee, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, periwinkle Paraty, and navy Havaianas, this was a very monochromatic blue outfit! This statement duster was a nice way to add a little more colour to my outfit. I really like blue and green together!

Just like this outfit above, adding the extra duster layer on top helped me feel more pulled together. It was a quiet day, just having a playdate with one of my son's friends.


Last worn: green floral duster, blue necklace, navy tee, distressed denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, navy tee and fuchsia pink, distressed denim shorts and stripe tee, Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag and printed shorts.

Kmart Orange Linen With Blue Tees, Statement Necklaces, and LV Neverfull Tote

Two fun orange and blue outfits, both featuring the Kmart linen blend pieces I picked up at the opshop back in December, with my big practical Lous Vuitton Neverfull tote bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace

Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit but it was not the best day! Another hot summer day called for an easy shorts and tee outfit, and these linen blend Kmart paperbag waist shorts are great in the heat.

I tucked in this navy tee so it would show off the waist detail on the pants, but still felt this outfit was missing a little something. The turquoise necklace doesn't match anything in the outfit but I felt it was the perfect accessory with this! Simple for tackling a few more back to school errands off the list - the Louis Vuitton Neverfull had water bottles and snacks inside to keep the kids happy while we got everything done.

We did have a productive day and got everything we needed for the upcoming school year, but I was also attacked and bitten very badly by an escaped dog in the afternoon so that made for a very bad day! A little hobbling around for a bit and some nasty bruises for a couple weeks, but all good now thankfully.


Last worn: navy tee, turquoise multi strand necklace, Kmart Linen shorts, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: navy tee and maxi skirt, Kmart Linen shorts at the beach, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.

Louis Vuitton Neverfull Wear & Tear After 7 Years:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted orange bead statement necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! It was super hot, but our friends house we were going to for lunch had a pool, so we got to take advantage of the beautiful weather without overheating! I'd usually just throw on a dress for over my bikini for a pool day but wanted to give this linen skirt I'd thrifted another wear - and it being linen, was so light and perfect for a hot day. 

Like in the first outfit, I wasn't too sure if this orange necklace would work, it's a very different shade from the deep rust of the skirt, but I think it added a nice pop of brightness to my outfit. And I didn't have to worry about it if it got splashed by the side of the pool!


Last worn: washed blue tee, thrifted orange necklace, linen button down skirt, Havaianas (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull (above).

Other ways to wear: washed blue tee and maxi skirt, linen button down skirt with stripes, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 times.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Orange and blue - in any combination of shades - is such a cheerful pairing!

Kmart Linen Shorts, Tees, and Chloe Small Paraty Bags

Making the most of my recently thrifted pieces again! Pairing these thrifted linen shorts with thrifted cover ups, textured tees, and some new pieces I got for Christmas. 

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts (new purchase)
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual (and a hair tie on my other wrist)
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

This was a nice relaxing day on the coast. After a slow start to the day we headed to the creek for a little swim. Cooper wasn't interested in getting his paws wet so I ended up just sitting in the shade with him relaxing, before lunch with my sister and then heading home.

While it was a hot day, this embroidered cover up and the linen shorts were great for the heat. Tucking in the tee, which was also an opshop find, worked well to show off the fun paperbag waist on the shorts. 

Took my little periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag, with this beautiful handmade bag strap my friend made me for Christmas. I wasn't sure if the textured strap, space dye tee, textured necklace and embroidered cover up were too much together, but I think taken as a whole outfit it worked.


Last worn: embroidered cover up, space dye tee, wooden necklace, Havaianas, Chloe periwinkle Paraty. First time I've worn the shorts as they were a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: embroidered cover up and denim shorts, space dye tee and green jeans, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and floral dress.

What Fits Inside Chloe Small Paraty Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted digital print no label kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple (Christmas gift)

Why I wore it:

Another day in the sun, and another pair of Kmart linen shorts! I love fuchsia pink with navy so it seemed like such an obvious pairing to wear this new Kmart navy textured tee mum got me for Christmas with the bright pink shorts. I added the digital print cover up for a little extra sun protection in the playground, and because the magenta in the print works so well with the shorts. The navy Sketchers were a gift too and were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the tee.

Wasn't sure what colour bag to wear with this but realised my new purple small Chloe Paraty bag would go nicely with the pink and blue. It was good to give it its first wearing as well. I'd been watching this for months and talking my friends ear off about it before deciding I wanted it for Christmas. Luckily hubby agreed!

We had a nice morning at the park and some decluttering and reorganising at home in the afternoon before I headed down the coast for dinner with my sister.


Last worn: digital print cover up, marble necklace, fuchsia linen shorts, navy Sketchers. First time I've worn the navy textured tee and the purple Paraty bag as they were Christmas presents.

Other ways to wear: digital print cover up over a dress, fuchsia linen shorts with yellow, navy Sketchers and grey tee.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Linen shorts are great for hot days in the sun. Don't forget to add some physical sunblock over your sunscreen too with a light cover up like I have on both of these outfits.
