Colourful Tees With Black Knits and Skinny Jeans

Two black jeans, black Converse and black knit outfits for the school run and working from home. Both of these outfits feature a pop of colour from my tees, against all of the black.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

The first time I wore this purple tee I paired it with a lot of black, and really liked the resulting outfit, so I tried it again and also loved this outfit too! This time I went with a plain black knit, this cosy cocoon cardigan, and my Sass and Bide Playman printed skinny jeans to add a little more interest to my outfit.

Everything else was really muted and dark and neutral and I think it made the purple tee pop even more! It was a warmer day so I was able to skip the scarf too, and wear this bronze foil necklace I thrifted recently, it's nice with the purple. It actually ended up being such a warm day I was able to go without the cardigan later in the afternoon, after working from home and when running a couple of errands before school pick up.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, purple tee, Sass and Bide playman printed jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.
 
Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and white jeans, purple tee and black and white knit, Sass and Bide playman printed jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was a cooler day than the one above so I was glad I'd chosen to wear this cosy knitted poncho. It keeps me so warm in winter! Just like in the outfit above, I went with a colourful tee and a lot of black. The knit added some extra print and interest, and I really like this knit with pink tees, it's not the first time I've worn this combination. Again I wore my black Converse and black skinny jeans, but I felt this outfit needed a little extra colour so I added the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC I recently redyed.

Just like the first outfit, I was able to go without a scarf and picked one of my recently thrifted necklaces to wear. I liked the neutral beads with the pink and black outfit.

This was nice and comfortable for working from home and then the school run in the afternoon.


Last worn: knitted poncho, pale pink tee, zip detail jeans, black Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: knitted poncho with stripes, pale pink tee and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag and dress.

Tiered Denim Dresses With Pink Scarves And Bags

Sticking with easily repeatable outfit formulas again, pairing my two tiered denim dresses with pink scarves and Rebecca Minkoff bags recently.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I really loved this outfit! It was perfect for winter as although my knees were bare the tall boots kept my legs warm, and with a slip under the denim dress and the pink striped scarf I was nice and cosy. The berry pink of the Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag doesn't match the colours in the scarf exactly, but I liked the two accessories together against the pale denim dress. Really need to wear this dress more, before it heats up too much for it!

This was a nice easy and colourful outfit for the school run and working from home.


Last worn: striped scarf, Target denim dress, knee high boots, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC.

Other ways to wear: striped scarf and skirt, Target denim dress with red, knee high boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff berry MAC and jeans.

What I wore:

Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this denim tiered maxi dress my mum picked up for me when we were shopping at Kmart recently. It's a really thick and cosy denim, so I went bare armed for a morning in the sun taking part in a citizen science event with the kids. It warmed up quite a lot, after the fog of the morning lifted and I was considering removing the scarf. It was nice to have on in the air-conditioning in the afternoon though when we went to a kids birthday party.

I really like the ombre pink scarf with the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I redyed, even though just like in the outfit above the pink in the scarf and bag don't match exactly.

With the long line of this denim maxi dress I thought I'd try just a simple crossover scarf and leave it long and loose - something a little different but I liked the long line the scarf created with this dress.


Last worn: pink ombre scarf, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the dress as it's a recent wardrobe addition.

Other ways to wear: pink ombre scarf and jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff redyed mini MAC bag with black and white outfit.

Graphic Tees and Skinny Jeans

Keeping it nice and simple back for some warmer days before the winter chill arrived in Brisbane, with graphic tees and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Tee: teal Strange Planet 'wildly unprepared for the day' graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school run, working from home, and a little trip to the groomers for Cooper in the morning. I just needed something easy for a busy day, this Strange Planet graphic tee is so fun to wear and I think the "Wildly unprepared for the day" vibe fit well on this day!

I tucked the tee in a little to better show off the fun zip pocket detail on these jeans. And even though the teal was bright enough with the black denim, I added an extra touch of colour with the little pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC too.


Last worn: heart and pearl drop earrings, Strange Planet tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Strange Planet tee and shorts, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and dress.

What I wore:

Tee: Primark Edinburgh white graphic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Another working from home and school run day, with an appointment for my son in the afternoon. I decided to give this Edinburgh tee another wear - a souvenir I bought when we visited in 2019. Although the graphic print on this tee is a darker blue, I decided to pair it with turquoise accessories, with the bracelet stack and the turquoise Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. I like turquoise with everything, and I felt the accessories went nicely with the pink frayed hem jeans, just as well as the darker blue print on the tee.


Last worn: Edinburgh graphic tee, silver and turquoise bracelet stack, pink frayed hem jeans, leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Edinburgh graphic tee and maxi skirt, pink frayed hem jeans with black, leather Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Blue Long Sleeved Dresses With Pink Mini MAC Bag

Making the most of warmer weekends back in Autumn and wearing two pretty blue dresses with a little pink bag for some birthday parties!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: custom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! We had a family birthday to celebrate, so I wanted to wear this pretty Jaase autumn leaves print dress again. While it was a cooler morning, with the ankle boots and the longer sleeves on the dress I felt fine wearing this and going bare-legged. It was so good to spend time with family!

We also took the opportunity to stop by the shelter we adopted Cooper from to do a meet and greet with a little puppy we'd fallen in love with online. She and Cooper seemed friendly, so this is what I was wearing when we adopted Bonnie. The ankle boots were a good choice and very practical for running around in the meet and greet yard with the dogs.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, silhouette necklace, tan ankle boots, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tan ankle boots and jeans, Jaase dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another birthday party day, this one was a little cooler so I was grateful for the thicker denim fabric on this tiered dress. It kept me nice and cosy as I caught up with my friends at a bowling party, the kids were very entertained with playing a couple rounds of bowling and then enjoying the arcade before having some delicious cake!

Because the denim fabric on this dress kept me warm and we were indoors for the party anyway, I just went with comfortable Converse sneakers. not as cosy as ankle boots, but perfect for this day.

I added a little more colour with the magenta crescent necklace and again my little redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I really like this pink bag with different shades of blue!


Last worn: earrings, crescent necklace, tiered denim dress, leather Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above)

Other ways to wear: tiered denim dress and red, leather Converse sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and jeans.

Pink and Navy Jeans and Tee Outfits

Two more autumn jeans outfits. I feel jeans become a staple as the weather starts to cool off here in Brisbane. Both of these are colourful outfits though, with pink and navy as I really love pink and blue together in any combination of shades.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

It's the first time I've worn this navy tie dye duster and this pink v-neck tee together which surprises me. Both of these pieces are firm favourites, so it was nice to finally wear them together! We had a couple of errands to run and some birthday presents to buy, so jeans and a tee was what I reached for.

I wasn't sure about the washed rose pink of the tee with the brighter pink in one of the tassels on the necklace, and the hot pink of my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC, but I'm glad I wore all these different shades together, I think it worked well in the end. The black jeans and black Converse were good neutrals with the tie dye and those different shades of pink.


Last worn: tie dye duster, tassel necklace, pink tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and shorts, pink tee over a dress, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit for another weekend day. I had a couple of errands to run again, and dropped my son off at his friend's house for a playdate. I thrifted these pink Zara frayed hem skinny jeans a while back, and they look great with navy! This tee was a great pairing with them.

As in the outfit above, I wasn't too sure at first about having these different shades of pink together with the brighter pink of the jeans and the hot pink of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and although I didn't love it as much as the outfit above, I'm glad I gave this a go.


Last worn: navy tee, pearl tassel necklace, pink skinny jeans, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and skirt, pink skinny jeans and blouse, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Black and White Jeans Outfit For The Office With Pink Crossbody Bag

Still loving and wearing my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC bag! Using the bag as the perfect pop of pink with both of these black and white jeans outfits I wore to the office.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Little photobomb from our newly adopted puppy Bonnie in these pics! And while I thought I'd be okay with these white skinny jeans because I had a day in the office, I quickly realised I was going to have to retire the white jeans, not the best choice to wear with an over-energetic puppy. She's still learning not to jump up, so although I did manage to wash the jeans clean, I probably won't be wearing them for a while! She was surrendered twice before we adopted her so it's going to take a while to teach her manners, and white jeans are not the best choice for this adjustment period.

I did like the white jeans with the white Converse and the black batwing blouse, just adding the little touch of colour with the mini MAC bag. It was a good office outfit, but not something that was good to be wearing when I got home and she jumped all over me!


Last worn: batwing blouse, Tiffany necklace, white skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the gold heart and pearl earrings on the blog as they were a Mother's day present from my boys.

Other ways to wear: batwing blouse and skirt, white skinny jeans and sequins, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Re-Dying My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another black and white jeans outfit for the office. With the plain white tee and faded black skinny jeans, this outfit was a little casual, even with the addition of the statement tassel necklace. The cobalt blazer I recently thrifted was the perfect topper for this on a cooler autumn morning in Brisbane, and to seem a bit more professional in the office. I really enjoyed this outfit, the bright accessories and cobalt blazer made it seem very cheerful.

And of course, black skinny jeans are a much better choice around a little puppy still learning not to jump up! We had hoped our older dog Cooper would teach Bonnie some good manners, but he seems content just to watch her and her craziness. It's so cute when they curl up together though, so glad we adopted them both.


Last worn: gold heart and pearl earrings (above), cobalt blazer, tassel necklace, white tee, zip detail black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and pink, white tee over a dress, zip detail black skinny jeans with green, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Navy Striped Shirt Dresses And Converse With Redyed Pink Bag

Feeling uninspired for some autumn office outfits, I wore a striped dresses each day, with the same accessories even! Love an easy outfit formula. Also sharing my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I recently redyed, it's a fun pop of colour in these outfits.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

A cooler autumn morning and a commute to work had me getting this long sleeved shift dress out of my wardrobe again. It's quite a thick fabric and kept me nicely cosy for the way into work. I added a little more colour to the navy and black stripes with the fun multi coloured tassel necklace, a recent opshop find. 

I thought that the navy and black stripes were a great background to let my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag pop. It was a very vivid, bright neon pink before, although also quite worn. I stripped the colour off and then repainted it in Angelus hot pink acrylic leather paint, and I love the finished results!


Last worn: navy stripe shift dress, white leather Converse, redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe shift dress and leather jacket, leather Converse and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe shift dress in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another navy stripe shift dress with Converse, my little pink mini MAC bag, and the same tassel necklace. Just like with the navy and black shift dress above, I felt the white and navy stripes on this dress were a great background for the colourful accessories. This dress was a $1 opshop find too, I've gotten so much wear from it (already this is it's 11th wear). And like the navy shift dress above, it's going to get a lot more wear over autumn and winter!


Last worn: navy and white striped dress, tassel necklace (above), white leather Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff redyed hot pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: navy and white striped dress and leather jacket, white leather Converse and midi skirt.
