What I wore:
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty
Why I wore it:
I got the idea from this outfit from a colleague in the office, who looked amazing in her peach midi slip skirt. I did feel a little self conscious in this though. While it's a modest midi length, the side slit is quite high and I kept fussing with the skirt all day wondering if it was too high-cut for the office.Issue with the side slit aside, I really liked this outfit. The navy tee was perfect with this skirt, and I didn't wear a blazer as I wanted to show off the cute frill sleeves. Converse because they are the unofficial shoe of choice in the office nowadays!
While the periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag doesn't match the navy tee, I liked the extra shade of blue it added to this outfit with the tee and the blue Converse.
Last worn: frill sleeve tee, station necklace, green floral midi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty.
Other ways to wear: frill sleeve tee and pink shorts, green floral midi skirt and band tee, blue Converse and denim dress, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and maxi dress.
Chloe Small Paraty: Review and What's In My Bag
What I wore:
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty
Why I wore it:
Another skirt and Converse outfit, and again with the green and blue. This jacquard pencil skirt is a slightly warmer one being a thicker fabric, which I needed for spending the day working in our coldest office. The blazer I just wore for these photos and to combat the freezing aircon in the office, as it was such a hot and humid day. This spaghetti strap cami and pencil skirt felt much too hot for the heat outside, even without the blazer, but I enjoyed being layered up with the blazer at my desk.I really liked this mint cami with the navy blazer and skirt. I scored the blazer at the opshop last year knowing I'd be in the office a little more this year, it's turning out to be a really good buy!
As above, while the Chloe periwinkle Paraty doesn't match I think it compliments the darker shades of blue in this outfit nicely.
Last worn: navy blazer, beaded necklace, mint cami, jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty (above).
