Navy and Green Office Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two more office outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both are green and blue with skirts that add a little bit of interest, accessorised with my periwinkle blue Chloe small Paraty bag that goes with everything.


What I wore:

navy tee with daisy print green floral midi skirt converse chloe paraty outfit | awayfromblue

green floral midi skirt with Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  in crook of arm | awayfromblue


Necklace: thrifted Equip gold and marble station necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe 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.




What I wore:

jacquard pencil skirt and Chloe periwinkle small Paraty  | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe 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).

Other ways to wearnavy blazer and floral dress, mint cami and denim skirt, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, black Converse and jeans, Chloe periwinkle Paraty and shorts.

Printed Tanks and Pencil Skirts In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

More office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, brightening up some neutral jersey pencil skirts with colourful printed tanks, my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and some casual Converse.


What I wore:

orange blazer with grey pencil skirt colourful mixed print tank converse office outfit | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
SkirtAtmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Picked a very casual outfit for visiting one of our offices that is always extremely cold with the aircon. It was a hot heatwave day, so a light tank and a jersey pencil skirt were all I needed, but I appreciated the orange blazer in the office, and I packed a scarf in my bag too for when it got really cold in the aircon!

I felt the blazer and the navy statement earrings dressed up the casual outfit a little for another day in the office. I really liked the Luna blue Edie bag against the grey skirt an the blue in the printed tank too.

Didn't add a necklace, as I had the tassel earrings, and I felt the printed tank and orange blazer were enough of a statement on their own.

I much prefer this outfit to this one, when I wore the grey skirt and printed tank together but added a matching grey blazer. It's so much more fun with the orange!


Last worn: orange blazer, navy tassel earrings, printed tank, grey pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearorange blazer and dress, printed tank and maxi skirt, grey pencil skirt worn two ways, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancygrey pencil skirt in third trimester, black Converse in second trimester.


My Blue Handbag Collection:






What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Blouse: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
SkirtJeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

First time I wore this silk tank Sheila gave me I worried about it getting stained being around little kids so much - not so many worries about that when I wore it to the office! This black pencil skirt goes with everything, but I thought that it matched particularly well with this top because of the tassels and black stripes. Again I didn't wear a necklace, I felt it would compete with the tassels on the top.

The blue Edie shoulder bag doesn't match the blue in the print, but I thought it was close enough that the bag was a good accessory with this outfit.

Wore my casual Converse with this outfit for the office - they are comfortable for a long commute and I don't want to overdress, the majority of ladies in the office are wearing their Converse too!


Last worn: mixed print top, black pencil skirt, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Weekday Wear Linkup: Office Outfits - Printed Tanks, Pencil Skirts and Blazer With Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

For today's Weekday Wear Linkup I'm sharing a couple more outfits I wore to the office recently. My office in Brisbane has been open for a long time (it reopened late 2020) on a completely optional basis. With no cases in Queensland I've felt safe enough to go in now and then, when the workload allows for it. I'm not going back regularly yet, just a day or two here and there, but it's been fun when I have gone in!


What I wore:

orange blazer with teal accessories neutral printed tank black pencil skirt autumn office business casual outfit | awayfromblue

orange blazer with Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
JacketGlassons orange jersey blazer 
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Again wearing this orange blazer that I bid on pre-lockdown in 2020 and that sat unworn in my wardrobe for over a year. It was good to get it out for a second wearing! I felt it added the perfect amount of colour to the neutral outfit of the brown printed tank and the black jersey pencil skirt. 

The teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag looked great last time I wore it with the orange blazer, so I repeated that combination again. Added the teal tassel earrings on too, for a bit of matchy-matchy with the bag and some more colour in my outfit when the bag was sitting on my desk.

I wouldn't usually wear Converse to the office but I'd aggravated my knee injury on a recent hike and wanted something a little more supportive than ballet flats - and as so few people are in the office on any given day it's an even more casual vibe than it usually is.


Last worn: orange blazer, teal tassel earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, brown printed tank, elastic pencil skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff teal croc Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearorange blazer and blue dress, brown printed tank and green jeans, elastic pencil skirt over a dress, Converse and tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff teal croc Love Too bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancybrown printed tank in third trimester, elastic pencil skirt in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.


Unboxing My Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag:

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

This is such a simple outfit - again it's like the one above with a pencil skirt, blazer and printed tank. But it's the kind of outfits I really missed putting together with not being in the office! With the black and white stripes on the tank, grey blazer and pencil skirt it was a bit too monochrome - the fun yellow statement necklace added just the right amount of cheer and stopped this looking too plain. 

Again I wore my teal Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag, it's such a nice size for the essentials I need for work and it's nice to wear a bag that doesn't have to fit all the kids things in it too!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, yellow statement necklace, black and white tank, grey pencil skirt, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff croc Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to weargrey jersey blazer and swing dress, black and white tank worn 30 ways, grey pencil skirt and peplum, silver ballet flats and a-line skirt, Rebecca Minkoff croc Love Too bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancygrey pencil skirt in second trimester, silver ballet flats in third trimester.


How You Can Wear It:

A printed tank and pencil skirt is an office staple for a business casual environment. You can dress it up a little with a blazer which can also cover up bare shoulders if you're in a more conservative workplace. You can use a bright blazer or a statement necklace or earrings to add a little extra colour and personality to your outfit too.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Printed Tanks, Pencil Skirts and Blazers With Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere

Simple corporate style for today's Weekday Wear Linkup. Making my simple printed tank and pencil skirt outfits a little more formal by adding a blazer. A great way to feel a little more dressed up in an office, just add a blazer!

What I wore:

black jersey blazer and pencil skirt with leaf print tank and speedy bandouliere business casual office outfit | awayfromblue

black pencil skirt with Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere | away from the blue

Necklace: thrifted blue multi stand long beaded necklace
TankJeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
SkirtJeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Repeating a lot of faves in this outfit! The black jersey blazer and pencil skirt together make the outfit seem a little more formal and suit-like (but much more comfortable, being jersey!). The leaf print tank is one of those pieces I can wear for work and for days with the kids, it's a great "wear anywhere" piece. I've worn it with the blue necklace before but for something a little different this time I wrapped the necklace around twice instead of leaving it long.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere was a good choice for the predicted wet weather and it's the perfect size for taking my notebook across the city for a meeting in another building. The gold mouse flats were a fun touch with the outfit - metallic gold goes with everything and they are always a talking point when meeting new people.

ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Trying the suit-like look again with a grey jersey blazer and pencil skirt together. The casual fabric stops it from looking too formal for my business casual office. This printed tank is a fun one too and is was just $1 at the opshop, so with this fifth wear I'm really getting great value for money from it! With all the bright colours and mixed prints in the tank I kept the shoes a simple silver to tie in with the grey blazer and skirt, as well as the silver necklace.

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere was an easy choice again for another meeting across the city.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Turquoise Tanks With Purple Balenciaga Work Bag and Grey Pencil Skirts

Two incredibly similar outfits to share for today's Weekday Wear Link up! I love a good outfit formula and it's nice to follow the same basic structure for an outfit but change a few details. This time around I stuck with exactly the same formula instead of changing things up - turquoise tanks, grey skirts and my purple Balenciaga work bag. While I did pick different shoes and necklaces, the resulting outfits this time around are very similar, and I loved them both.

What I wore:

Jeanswest Vickie button back tank in enamel blue with Atmos&Here jersey pencil skirt purple Balenciaga work bag | awayfromblue 

Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | jeanswest vickie turquoise tank with grey jersey pencil skirt summer office outfit purple balenciaga work bag
Necklace: silver ball multi chain long necklace
TankJeanswest Vickie button back tank in enamel blue
SkirtAtmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Another wearing of this new Jeanswest turquoise tank. I've worn it with jeans before for a kid's party but it works so well dressed up for the office with a pencil skirt. I picked this tank to wear as it's a longer tunic length, and I needed the extra length (and butt coverage!) for when I swapped my pencil skirt for leggings for my physio session. (After injuring my knee after Christmas I'm looking at regular physio sessions for a long time).

The viscose fabric of this tank creases like crazy, and it didn't look so good after a day of sitting at my desk, but I did like how it dressed up the jersey pencil skirt a little, especially as it was too hot to wear a blazer with this so I just wore a cardigan on top around the office.

I went matchy-matchy again with the accessories, silver shoes and silver necklace which matched the grey pencil skirt nicely, as well as the silver hardware on the purple Balenciaga work bag.


Last worn: turquoise tank, silver multi strand necklace, grey jersey pencil skirt, silver ballet flats, Balenciaga purple work bag

SkirtAsos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated it again with a different turquoise tank. This time around the grey pencil skirt was a more formal material and the tank was more casual. I did consider a blazer for this but it wasn't a meeting heavy day so knew the cardigan at my desk would be fine.

Matchy-matchy with the accessories again, with the black Walnut Melbourne ballet flats and another multi chain necklace, a black one this time. This is an oldie I found when setting up my new wardrobe, but it really annoyed me when I wore it this time so it's been donated. Kept wearing the purple Balenciaga work bag as it looks so good with turquoise.


Last worn: turquoise tank, grey pencil skirt, black ballet flats, Balenciaga purple work bag (above)

Turquoise Tanks Under $50:




How You Can Wear It:

Turquoise and purple is a fun and colourful combo. You can balance out the bright pairing with neutral pieces like these grey pencil skirts, and you can tone it down more by adding a neutral cardigan or blazer on top.

Peplum Tanks and Textured Pencil Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff Regan Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up!

Keeping it simple on super humid summer days at work with peplum tanks and textured pencil skirts. It's not the first time I've worn my peplum tanks with pencil skirts, I like the fun silhouette it creates while still being formal for work (especially if you throw a blazer over the top). No blazer on these days though, the summer heat and humidity were too much! I did cover up my shoulders with a cardigan in the cold office aricon.

What I wore:

black peplum tank with blush pink polka dot pencil skirt and Rebecca Minkoff Regan satchel | away from blue

black and pink outfit with navy bag Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon | away from the blue

awayfromtheblue Instagram| black zalora peplum tank with blush pink polka dot pencil skirt rebecca minkoff regan bag
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Tank: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

While it’s the first time I’ve worn this peplum tank and pencil skirt together, I have worn other peplum tank with this pencil skirt. I really like the combination with the longer skirt and the peplum tank, especially as the black of the tank matches the textured dots on the skirt for a nice bit of matchy-matchy.

The crescent necklace added a little extra colour to my outfit, as did the navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag. I like black and navy together and this is a great bag for work. I picked the gold mouse flats to be a little matchy-matchy again with the necklace, and because they are so cute!


Last worn: black peplum tank, polka dot pencil skirt, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag. First time I've shared the necklace on the blog as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wearblack peplum tank and shorts, polka dot pencil skirt and pearls, gold mouse flats worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag and belted dress.

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart black sleeveless frill hem peplum tank
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

This was a great outfit but a bit of an accessory fail! I'd picked out this tank to wear as it was longer to cover up a bit when I swapped the jacquard pencil skirt for leggings to go to my lunch time physio session. (After I injured my knee at the end of the year, I'm looking at frequent physio appointments). It was a little too short so I ended up wearing my office cardigan over the tank and leggings when I went out at lunch time.

I really liked the earrings with this, it's the first time I've worn these gold bar earrings and I thought they went nicely with the black peplum tank. I wasn't sure on what necklace to wear when I was planning this outfit the night before so decided to pick in the morning. This tortoiseshell circle pendant with the black tassel was a nice mix of print to have with the jacquard skirt and the gold chain matched the gold earrings nicely too. I didn't realise until after I looked at the photos that the black tassel on the necklace doesn't really show up very well against the black tank though! It was a bit more noticeable in person.

As much as I liked this outfit, I could have made it look better in pictures if I'd picked a different necklace! You can see all the prettiness of the necklace better last time I wore it.

Black Peplum Tanks Under $50:




How You Can Wear It:

A peplum hem on a tank is a fun twist on a wardrobe basic. With an extra layer on top to cover your shoulders if you work in a more formal environment, it's a great choice for the office when worn with a pencil skirt I like I've shown here. You can even match the colour of the tank to one of the colours in your pencil skirt too.
