Grey Tee, Denim Shorts, Acne Pistol Boots | Teal Henley, Striped Skirt, Patent Mouse Flats

Two more outfits created using items from the "wear after baby arrives" box I added to as I outgrew clothes in my wardrobe after pregnancy.

Here's what I wore to spend the day with DH and baby T:
Acne Pistol boots, grey tee and denim shorts
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
TeeAtmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee (on sale!)
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in "skin"


With the spring weather heating up, I wanted to quickly take advantage of the chance to wear shorts and boots together! I really like the combination of shorts and ankle boots, but it's not something you can wear year-round. I actually think I missed my chance, I was getting a little warm with the long sleeved tee in the heat of the day. Maybe with a tank next time.

After I had worn this, I stumbled across Alice from Happiness at Mid-Life wearing a similar designed top, but layering a bright tank underneath and having the zips undone to show the colourful tank peeking through. Such a great way to wear a zip-detail top! Definitely want to give it a go with this tee as soon as we have a cooler day.


Last worn: grey zip detail tee, denim shorts, Acne Pistol boots.



Here's what I wore to go out for lunch:
Jeanswest teal henley shirt french connection striped gathered pencil skirt
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Shirt:  Jeanswest 'Aubrey' pintuck yoke henley in deep teal (on sale!)
SkirtFrench Connection 'Abby' twisted skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats in black patent leather


I bought this skirt back in the second trimester when I felt I was running out of nice pencil skirts to wear to the office. Most of my pencil skirts are fixed waist, only a few were elasticated, so this elasticated waist skirt seemed like a great idea. Despite only managing to wear it a few times before the baby bump got too big, I also reasoned I could get my money's worth by wearing it casually as well after baby arrived. I felt rather over-dressed in this outfit though, felt much too similar to something I'd wear to the office. It's almost an identical outfit to the previous time I wore it to work, just with a different coloured top. Same shoes and everything! I didn't realise that when I wore it, just when I looked up the last wearing of the skirt.

While it was great to get this skirt out again and wear it without a baby bump, I think I'll need to try harder next time I wear it to dress it down and make the look a little less office-like. I have such a hard time wearing pencil skirts outside of work, as I wear them so casually in the office anyway! Do you have any ideas for how to make it more casual? A tank or denim jacket was suggested last time, maybe I should try that next time.


Last worn: teal henley, striped skirt, patent mouse flats.

Boots and Skinny Jeans: Printed Shirt, Grey Tee

Ended up taking photos with boots and skinny jeans twice in a row! I really like wearing boots and jeans in cooler weather, it doesn't last long here in Queensland.

Here's what I wore to visit family and go shopping:
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Top: Jeanswest 'Ruby' mixed print shirt
JeansJeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"


It's the first time I've worn this shirt on the blog, but not the first time I've worn it. I bought it back when I was still pregnant and Jeanswest were having one of their 40% off sales. For those early days of breastfeeding, a button up shirt over a breastfeeding singlet is a great outfit idea when you have to get out of the house and you want to feel dressed up. I just wasn't organised enough when I wore it to get a photo for the blog.

Wore the shirt this time with skinny jeans and ankle boots, just like the suggested styling idea on the site. Was such a nice outfit, even if I didn't fully think it through. Baby T was being babysat by family as I had a few errands to run in the morning, and then we had a family BBQ in the evening. When I went to leave baby for a few hours I realised that I hadn't brought a bag for my own things - they were just in the baby bag! Ended up carrying my wallet and phone around in the morning, wishing I'd thought a little longer about what I was doing to have realised I'd need a handbag for when the baby bag was left behind. Just too used to going out and about without a handbag now I guess.


Last worn:Ray-Ban wayfarers, burgundy skinny jeans, Acne pistol boots. First time I've worn the shirt on the blog.



Here's what I wore to spend the morning at the beach:
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Just Jeans dark brown cropped cotton trench coat 
Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
TeeGrey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves
JeansJeanswest blue skinny jeans
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagRebecca Minkoff coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe


This tee is becoming my beach wear tee! Wore it to the beach last time too. It was a much colder and windier day this time around, but we went to out local dog beach despite the weather. It gave baby T his first chance to see the sea - after he slept through it the last time - and let Cooper stretch his legs and run off-leash. We left the baby bag in the car and wore baby in his carrier, so I made sure to take a handbag with me this time to have somewhere to store my camera and phone as we walked. Didn't want to make the same mistake as the day before! A cute little clutch was all I needed for the essentials.

The boots seemed like a good idea that morning to keep my feet dry and warm as we walked along the sand, as it was much too cold to go for a dip. We ended up walking in a lot of muddy and wet sand as the tide was out though, so leather boots were not the best choice. My feet stayed dry, but the boots look a little worse for wear! There are one or two days a year I wish I had Wellington boots, this was one of those days.


As this is the second wear of the grey tee from my August purchases and I'm trying to review what I buy, the final verdict:
I love this tee. I've only worn it with denim so far, but I know from experience that it pairs well with skirts too. Having this tee in other colours meant this purchase was always going to be a keeper, and something I knew I would wear. I'm really pleased I could score it on sale, as it's always been sold out in my size every time I've seen it previously. Very pleased with this purchase! I've actually worn it more often than I've taken photos of it, such a good tee.


Last worn: Wayfarers (see above), cropped trench coat, grey oversize tee, skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Sass and Bide Jeans, Alexander McQueen Skull Scarves, Long Sleeve Tees

Happened to wear statement jeans twice in a row! Printed and metallic skinny jeans outfits below, as well as a summary of my August purchases. I liked analysing my July purchases, it influenced my shopping in August.


Here's what I wore to go shopping with DH and baby T:
Printed sass and bide jeans grey zip detail tee magenta alexander mcqueen skull scarf
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
ScarfAlexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
Top: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee (New purchase, on sale!)
JeansSass and Bide 'The Archetype' feather print zippora skinnies
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats


Wore this to go out shopping with hubby and baby T. We wanted to pick up a few little toys for baby. He's getting bigger now and wanting to play more, so we stopped in at Target and picked up a little gym for him. It's so cute watching him batting away at the toys dangling down!

Wanted to wear this new long sleeve tee, one of my August purchases. The zipper detail at the hem is really nice, and it made me think of the zipper detail on the jeans, so it seemed right to pair them together. I tried to pose for the photo to get a shot of the zip at the bottom of the jeans, but I failed there! With all the gold zips, the cute metallic gold mouse flats seemed the best shoe choice to continue on the gold theme. And of course, a nice colourful scarf against the grey. Really casual, comfortable outfit.


Last worn: roses skull scarf, Sass and Bide zippora jeans, metallic mouse flats. First time I've worn the tee as it's a new purchase.



Here's what I wore to go out with DH:
metallic gold skinny jeans acne pistol boots striped top skull scarf
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
TeeJeanswest 'Melanie' Stripe henley in black/coconut (on sale!)
JeansSass and Bide 'Three Words' metallic gold jeans
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"


Another long sleeve top and statement jeans combo! I've been a little predictable with my outfit choices lately. I like how this is basically the same outfit combination as what I wore previously (above), but it looks different enough. Still wearing a skull scarf, prints, and statement jeans. My jeans have been getting a lot of wear lately, but I'm conscious that I don't want to end up in identical looking outfits every day. Trying to take the same basic idea and change a few things about it, so I can get dressed quickly and easily without a lot of thought, but still look like I have some variation in what I'm wearing.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the way I'd rolled up the cuffs of the jeans to have them sit over the boots - it kept coming undone and driving me a little crazy!


Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, Alexander McQueen skull scarf, Jeanswest stripe henley, metallic gold skinny jeans, Acne pistol boots.


My August Purchases:


In August I bought a few accessories to help organise the baby bag, and picked up some things in the Iconic sale. A lot of grey clothes! I've returned one dress already, after seriously considering it when it arrived. I'm sure I'll get lots of wear out of everything else I purchased.

Preston raglan stripe dress (returned)
Grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Arizona zip tee
Grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves
Rebecca Minkoff 'Shopbop fund' Cory pouch
'Man things' travel pouch
'Guy stuff' travel pouch

Dresses and Ankle Boots | Chambray and Paisley Print

Here's what I wore to go to the movies with DH:
blazer dress ankle boots purple paisley print mangue yellow balenciaga clutch
Jacket: Zara black blazer
DressJeanswest 'Melanie' paisley mixed print dress (on sale, plus extra 40% off!)
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
ShoesAsos Aggie leather western ankle boots in black
BagBalenciaga envelope clutch in 2012 mangue with giant 12 RGGH


Got the chance to get dressed up a little! Wore this to go on an afternoon movie date with hubby while the in-laws baby sat. We didn't do dinner and a movie like our usual date nights, as we didn't want to be away from baby T too long, but it was fun to go out and see a movie.

Last time I wore this dress, as well as being near the end of the third trimester, I paired it with my yellow Rebecca Minkoff Swing bag. Really liked that colour combination, so repeated it again with the Balenciaga clutch. First time I've worn the dress without the baby bump too, still as cute and comfortable as when I was pregnant. Just couldn't wear a necklace this time as I'm still keeping accessories simple and grabby-baby friendly!


Last worn: Zara blazer, paisley print dress, glitter belt, ankle boots, Balenciaga envelope clutch.



Here's what I wore to pop to the shops with baby T:
feather print pashmina scarf ezra chambray shift dress acne pistol boots
ScarfNali feather print pashmina scarf
Dress: Ezra chambray shift dress (on sale here)
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"


Second outfit with this chambray shift dress, one of my July purchases. The Acne pistol boots were the thing I could see myself wearing with this dress when I came across it in the Iconic sale. Somehow doesn't look as great in the photo as I thought it would be, or as it felt it looked as I wore it. Might have to try this combination again, maybe with a different scarf? I don't go bare-legged with boots often, has to be the right kind of weather, so hopefully I'll get a chance to re-try this outfit.

As I'm doing for all my new purchases, my verdict on the dress:
Not as easy to wear in winter as I thought it would be, but I'm confident I will still get lots of wear out of it as the weather heats up. Not the perfect purchase for right now, but still happy I have it for warmer days. One of those "I'll buy it now and wear it later" purchases I need to make sure I actually do wear later!


Last worn: feather print scarf, chambray dress, Acne pistol boots.

Stripes and Alexander McQueen Skull Scarves, Marc By Marc Jacobs Bags

Baby T has arrived, and I'm blogging less regularly as life revolves around a newborn and I spend most of my days at home in pyjamas! Every now and then I do venture out of the house, and when I do I try to get a photo so I can share some post-pregnancy outfits.


Here's what I wore to go to an appointment with baby T:
pattern colour mix blue purple stripes and skull print scarf jeans and converse
SunglassesRayban new Wayfarers
CardiJeanswest long blue drape cardigan
Scarf:  Alexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
JeansJeanswest Maternity slim straight jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag


After my scarf survived the last outing with baby T, I felt brave enough to try wearing one again when we popped out for a quick appointment at the clinic. Managed to keep this one stain free too, we are making progress!

Also pleased to fit into my first pair of maternity jeans again! Bought these early on in my pregnancy, and only wore them twice before I outgrew them...despite the elastic waist. Managed to squeeze into them this time, which was nice.
I still have a post-baby belly so while I can't wear my regular jeans, my maternity jeans are still serving me well. Anything with a comfortable, stretchy elastic waist that worked in pregnancy is working now too.


Last wornRay-banblue cardiganAlexander McQueen skull scarfnavy stripe teematernity straight leg jeansConverseMarc by Marc Jacobs baby bag.





Here's what I wore to go out to woolies:

ScarfAlexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
TopTopshop grey knitted scoop neck top
SkirtTarget black and white striped maxi skirt
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual
BagMarc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster


This outfit is really similar to the last time I wore this top, only I was 35 weeks pregnant then! 2 and a half weeks after baby's arrival here. I like pairing this maxi skirt with grey tops, nice easy outfit. I liked the top and skirt together last time so made sense to wear it again. Added the boots to help keep me warm as I popped out quickly to get groceries without baby T. Was really chilly though, did wish I had added a jacket with this.


Last worn: taupe skull scarf, grey knit, striped maxi skirt, Acne Pistol boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag.

Nice bright dress to kick off the week! I really wanted to wear this dress, and decided to pair it with the boots as it was a little chilly in the morning. Plus, as I mentioned to my colleague who complimented my boots, there are only a rare few days in a year I can wear bare legs and boots at the same time, so I best take advantage of them, haha!

Another simple printed dress outfit today! I had a day full of back to back meetings from so knew I would be rushing around, wanted to be comfortable as I did so. Funny that the last time I wore this dress, it was because I had a big day of meetings too! Found my clic clac again recently, so wore it today as it pairs nicely with the pink in the dress.

It was so beautifully warm on Saturday we decided to go for a bit of a walk with Cooper. It was really nice, and was so lovely to just wear a tank! In the evening it started to cool off again, so I added a jumper to go have dinner with family.
Ended up doing the "stereotypical fashion blogger" photos at the side of the road, but it was quieter than the park that had a bit of a crowd brought out by the nice weather.

If you like the tank I'm wearing above, Glassons have a special on at the moment where singlets and tanks are only $7.99!

Spent the morning with DH running a few errands, and had lunch. Today was even warmer, so I took advantage of the sunshine again. Bare legs for the first time in a while! Wanted to wear something a little different from jeans :) In the heat of the day I was even wishing I hadn't worn the boots, but it was cool enough for them in the morning.

Just need to learn to get better photos in the sun - I think the hair falling on my face didn't help, haha!

Had to wear my team shirt again today. Like last week, I paired it with a pencil skirt for simplicity :) As it was cold and windy I zipped my jacket all the way up, but you aren't missing out on much, just a boring grey polo.

Wearing my new scarf purchase too. Tried a couple of ways in the mirror in the morning but couldn't figure out how to wear it to best show off the colours. Think I need lessons on how to fold it properly, haha! Just take my word for it that it's beautiful and bright, and that there is a grey polo under my jacket ;)


Last worn: blue leather jacket, polo shirt, polka dot pencil skirt, glitter flats, Marco Tagliaferri bag. First time I've worn the scarf on the blog as it was a recent purchase.

A little pink and blue again. To be completely honest, I didn't need the scarf for warmth at all, I just really wanted to wear it and the tank together. Was glad to have it in the office though, it kept me warm when we had a meeting in one of the freezing meeting rooms, haha.

So nice to go jacket-less today! It was really warm and sunny. A maxi dress seemed like a nice alternative from jeans and a tee as DH and I went out to the movies. The scarf was nice to keep me cosy in the aircon at the cinema. We finally got to see "The Internship" movie we had tried to see last weekend but missed out on when it sold out. Quite a good film, made us giggle.
Had a skype date with the family in the evening, catching up on what my sister has been up to overseas.

Very similar accessories to the last time I wore this lovely jumper, sorry for the repetition! I think red pairs so nicely with the grey. Casual but warm outfit for spending the evening with the in-laws, having dinner and watching a movie. It was quite chilly so even Cooper has his knitted hoodie on! He had been shivering during the day as quite a bit of him was shaved after his operation. We've been putting his little shirts on when he looks cold.

First day of the long weekend means a nice casual jeans and tee outfit! Wearing my fave jeans and my latest purchase, a super-soft tee from Hendrick Boards. Purchasing it also donated $10 to help a rescued puppy named Chamsky.

I found out about the company through an Oscar's Law campaigner. Every tee purchased donates to a shelter, or specifically the care of one rescued animal. For someone like me who wants to help animals and also buys a lot of tees, it's a perfect site! :) I enjoy seeing the updates they post about the neglected animals getting better too. It's nice to see sometimes that there is good in the world. And sometimes, it's fun to wear the tee and hug your adopted puppy while you're on a walk with him!

Away From Blue OOTD Feather print pashmina Zara dress acne pistol boots

Away from the Blue Aussie style blogger Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC aquamarine snake

ScarfNali feather print pashmina scarf
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress in black
ShoesAcne pistol boots in "skin"
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine


Tried to take advantage of the last of the warmth today with bare legs! Just a nice casual outfit for running around. We took Cooper to the groomers, ran some errands, and then I had Church Online in the evening. Was pleased it wasn't too cold to go bare-legged, as the boots and scarf helped keep me cosy.


Last worn: Zara dress, feather print pashmina, Pistol boots, RM mini MAC.
