Graphic Tees, Jeans and Waterfall Cardigans

More easy mum life outfits, with graphic tees and jeans worn together with colourful waterfall cardigans and Converse.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Tee: Monsterthreads star print graphic tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I liked all the matchy-matchy purple in this outfit! With the purple graphic print, I pulled out some lilac accessories. These beaded earrings are such a good match for the lilac of my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, and I added another shade of purple with this berry waterfall cardigan. The kids had a sports event on and I took a little time to myself in the morning to have an enjoyable opshop browse after running a few errands.

The day heated up nicely, so much so that I left the cardigan in the car when I went to pickup the kids. Unfortunately it left me with no layers to remove when a bird pooped on me, but my friend told me it was good luck as she helpfully cleaned it up with some tissues. The Polene Numero Neuf bag is a cute mini size for just the essentials, but it meant I had no tissues on me! Thankfully I could go home and jump in the shower, and it all washed off the tee.


Last worn: lilac statement earrings, graphic planet tee, magenta waterfall cardigan, grey skinny jeans, pink Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: graphic planet tee and skirt, magenta waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways,  grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, pink Converse and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: waterfall cardigan in first trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Tee: Uniqlo Mickey Mouse 'Mickey Stands' short sleeve graphic tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another graphic tee and jeans outfit, this time with my coated denim skinny jeans. I wore Converse with this outfit too, as there was a lot of walking to do, taking advantage of a public holiday day off to take the kids to MovieWorld theme park.

Again I went a little matchy-matchy, with the red waterfall cardigan matching the red in the Mickey mouse tee, although the shades are slightly different. The black Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag is a classic and it matched the coated denim skinny jeans well, although I did also carry a big reusable tote for everyone's water bottles.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for a day with a lot of walking and rides, we had such a fun time.


Last worn: Mimco stud earrings, red waterfall cardigan, Mickey mouse graphic tee, coated denim jeans, brown Converse, Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and printed jeans, Mickey mouse graphic tee and skirt, coated denim jeans and jumper, brown Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Striped Dresses, Kmart Denim Trench Coat and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Another two very similar outfits, following the exact same outfit formula. Wearing striped dresses with fleece lined tights, ankle boots, my Kmart Anko oversized denim trench coat and Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for some winter office days back in August.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade purple polymer clay beaded necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Rita stripe jersey dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I last wore this Jeanswest striped fit and flare dress! I felt like it was overdue another wear. While it is sleeveless I layered a long sleeved tee underneath to keep me warm, and with the thick fabric on the dress and the fleece lined tights and ankle boots I was warm enough with this denim trench for the cold commute.

I couldn't resist going a little bit matchy-matchy with the mauve Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, matching the lilac beads in this beaded necklace I made. I got some polymer clay and myself and my son made some beads since I really enjoy wearing this style of necklace. I liked how well the bag and necklace matched together.



Last worn: denim trench coat, striped dress, purple handmade necklace, black ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: denim trench coat, striped dress and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: striped fit and flare dress in second trimester, ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Target Simone woven scarf in navy foil stars
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This was an even colder winter day than the one above, so instead of wearing a simple necklace this time I added another layer with the scarf. While it doesn't match the bag this time, it does match well with the navy stripes in this thrifted dress. It's a long sleeved dress so perfectly cosy for a winter commute and day in the office, especially when paired again with fleece lined tights, and the same black ankle boots and oversized denim trench coat that I wore in the first outfit.

I think you can see how uninspired I was as winter drew to a close here in Brisbane with the very similar outfits I've been wearing, but I do love taking a classic outfit formula and wearing it multiple times! And I did end up really liking both these outfits.

Last worn: navy star foil scarf, oversized denim trench coat (above), navy stripe dress, black ankle boots (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy star foil scarf and jumper, oversized denim trench coat and jeans, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester.

Two Ways To Wear Blue Leaf Print Maxi Wrap Skirt

I recently picked up this beautiful blue leaf print warp skirt at the opshop, for just $1! While it's winter in Brisbane I was eager to wear it as soon as possible. I set myself a goal of wearing everything I wear twice in the month I buy it, and luckily I was able to layer up this skirt to wear it twice this winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: thrifted Country Road grey crew neck tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This grey tee is also an opshop find! I knew with this colourful printed wrap skirt a plain grey tee would make a great neutral pairing with it. I added the cobalt leather jacket for extra warmth for the school run, especially in the morning. I really liked this first wear of this skirt, it is definitely something better suited for warmer weather though!

With the blue Converse and blue necklace, blue leather jacket and blue printed wrap skirt this outfit really needed another colour so I added the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for that. I like purple and blue together, and as I didn't have to carry much this was a good bag choice to hold the essentials.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, stud earrings, blue necklace, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac. First time I've worn the wrap skirt and the grey tee as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket worn 30 ways, blue Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: handmade pink and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I layered up this skirt a little more the next time I wore it, with this cosy berry seam detail knit. The jumper is also another recent wardrobe addition, although one I bought new from the store. While I liked the lilac Polene Numero Neuf bag with the first outfit, I liked the brighter pinks with this blue skirt too! I added lots of shades of pink, with the berry pink of the knit, pastel and bright pink in my handmade beaded necklace, and bolder pink in the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. To make sure I kept warm I added the leather jacket, and then these Acne Pistol boots that have been sitting in my wardrobe for far too long and were definitely overdue another wear. It was a great outfit for church, although I did shed the denim jacket when the sun came out later in the morning and it warmed up.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement earrings, berry seam detail knit, Acne pistol boots, blue wrap skirt (above), pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, berry seam detail knit worn 2 ways, Acne pistol boots and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester

Jaase Dresses, Denim Jackets and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

2 outfits with a simple outfit formula of Jaase floral dresses, denim jackets, statement earrings and my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. Both outfits worn at the start of winter when it wasn't cold enough to need leggings under these dresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and then an engagement lunch in the afternoon. It felt like a day that would warm up and with the ankle boots and the denim jacket I was warm enough until I did. This navy Jaase autumn leaves print dress has long sleeves too that helped keep me warm.

I couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this, and decided just on a pair of statement earrings instead. I really like these blue crystal ones. With the pale blue wash of the denim jacket and the navy background of the dress, the blue earrings were great with this.

I added a little extra colour with the lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. I didn't need to carry much with me, and this bag is great for just the essentials.


Last worn: statement earrings, denim moto jacket, Jaase Celine dress, tan ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: denim moto jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine dress and blazer, tan ankle boots and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Dress: Jaase Semika mini smock dress in amor print mandarin dollar dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Another repetition of the same outfit formula, with a different Jaase floral dress! I picked up this dress recently in the Salty Crush warehouse sale and I've really been enjoying wearing it. For another morning at church and a couple of quick errands afterwards, again a denim jacket was the only topper I needed. It was even warm enough that I didn't need ankle boots and just wore Converse with this.

While the purple floral earrings and the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag are different shades of purple, I liked both of them with the pastel peach tones in this floral Jaase dress, especially paired with the darker wash denim jacket.


Last worn: purple statement floral earrings, denim jacket, Jaase floral dress, white Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Jaase floral dress and trench coat, white Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy:  denim jacket in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Navy and White Dresses With Blazers and Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Navy and white printed dress outfits with blazers and my lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for recent office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart Navy white print tiered dress from my sister's wardrobe
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this cute dress I scored in my sister's wardrobe clear out! The Kmart navy and white printed dress has cute ruffle sleeves that are sadly hidden under this blazer, but it's definitely my kind of dress so I was happy to take it off my sister's hands!

Went a little matchy-matchy for its first wear with the navy blazer, and added another shade of blue with the lighter blue Converse. With the matching navy dress and blazer, I couldn't resist trying a little more matchy-matchy with the accessories too, with my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and this thrifted lilac necklace. Although not the same shades of lilac I often wear the two together, I think they are a great paring.


Last worn: Mimco earrings, navy blazer, lilac necklace, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. It's the first time I've worn the dress as I got it from my sister's wardrobe clear out.

Other ways to wear: navy blazer and skirt, blue Converse and denim dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and jeans.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Dress: Target navy and white striped shift dress with frill sleeves
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit combination above so I repeated a very similar one for my next day in the office, again with another piece from my sister's wardrobe! This navy and white striped dress was a fashion market find a few years ago, and I wore it with this very cosy black blazer my sister no longer wanted. I don't mind wearing navy and black together, but to make it look a little more intentional I matched the blazer with the black Converse.

Once again I wore my lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag, it looks so good with navy! And another pastel necklace, this blush pink and wooden bead one. Nice easy outfit for work.


Last worn: Target navy stripe dress, blush necklace, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above). First time I've worn the black blazer as it's from my sister's wardrobe.

Other ways to wear: Target navy stripe dress and scarf, black Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and skirt

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Grey Skirt Outfits With Purple

Brightening up some grey skirt outfits by adding a little bit of purple.

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull

Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and practical outfit for my son's surgery. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag fits everything with both needed to keep us happy and distracted with all the waiting around, it's such a good tote bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this little beaded necklace I made, good for my son to fidget with if needed. And I was cosy and comfortable in the grey pinstripe jersey maxi skirt, and sneakers. I thought the purple tee was a nice way to add some colour and lightness to the outfit that would have been a bit too neutral without the block colour tee.


Last worn: silver earrings, purple tee, beaded necklace, grey pinstripe maxi skirt, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wear: purple tee and jeans, grey pinstripe maxi skirt and knit, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Louis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton Neverfull in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Just like the outfit above, this felt a bit plain and neutral with the grey denim skirt, and the grey tee. I added a little more colour with purple again, although lighter shades this time. I really liked the resulting outfit though! The purple floral cover up is something I've worn with the lilac Polene Numero neuf mini bag before, I really like the pairing! And I added another beaded necklace, this one was an opshop find.

I had a couple of errands to run and a few things to donate to the opshop that I hadn't managed to drop off before Christmas. of course I had a bit of a browse as well, and ended up with a few more books to replace the ones the kids had grown out of that I'd just donated!


Last worn: earrings (above), floral cover up, grey tee, beaded necklace, Havaianas, grey Nobody Denim skirt, Polene Numero neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, grey tee and midi skirt, grey Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, Polene Numero neuf mini bag and dress.

Animal Print and Black Office Outfits With Purple Bags

Two leopard print tops outfits with black, and purple bags for the office. These are two very differently layered outfits for the varied weather in Brisbane back at the start of summer.

What I wore:

Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Shirt: Anko Kmart button up batwing sleeve leopard print shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I scored this shirt in my sister's wardrobe clear out and I love it! I like the batwing sleeves and it's perfect with this little black skirt for the office. With the black skirt and the black Converse, I added the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for a little extra colour.

This outfit was so good for a busy day in the office, but I was not as happy with it on the commute and the school run. The shirt is polyester and it's quite thick so while it was perfect in the office aircon it was really hot outside of it! Maybe something I wear a little less in the warmer months, as I love it too much to let it leave my wardrobe to go in the donation bag just yet. It will come in really useful when the heat in Brisbane finally lets up later in the year.


Last worn: charm necklace, black zip detail skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the leopard print shirt.
 
Other ways to wear: black zip detail skirt and blazer, black Converse and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: black pencil skirt in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

I need a few more layers on this wetter summer day, it was quite cool after being cloudy and rainy most of the week. The shirt above would have been perfect for this kind of day! Instead I was wearing my cheetah print cami, with my Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and then the grey blazer on top for a little extra warmth and to cover up the spaghetti straps of the singlet in the office. It's not the first time I've worn this blazer and cami together before, I really like the combination.

I felt this outfit needed a little more colour than the outfit above so I went with a darker purple bag, this Balenciaga work bag that I adore. It's huge but very lightweight and easily fits everything I need for a day in the office inside, with lots of room to spare. It doesn't match the lilac necklace at all, but I liked the two different shades of purple with all the neutrals in this outfit.


Last worn: grey blazer, cheetah print cami, lilac necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga purple work bag.

Other ways to wear: grey blazer and skirt, cheetah print cami and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and leather jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Balenciaga purple work bag and wrap dress.

Pink and Purple Denim Skirt and Tee Outfits With Floral Prints

Two different Target stretch denim pencil skirt outfits with pink and purple. While these outfits follow a very similar outfit formula, I liked how different both turned out.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I wanted a comfortable but practical outfit for my annual Christmas shopping day out with my mum and sister. Decided on this white denim skirt, as I was out most of the day and didn't have to worry about wet doggy footprints on the white denim! The white Adidas Superstar sneakers were a nice comfortable choice for a day walking around all the shops, getting the bulk of my Christmas shopping done. Just a couple things I've ordered online that I'm waiting for now.

As we often buy each other things while out shopping, I thought a skirt and tee was a good outfit for trying things on. We did try on a few things too so I was glad I wore this outfit. I didn't add a necklace as I had my big glittery gingerbread statement earrings, and with the purple floral print on the cover up I felt the earrings and floral print added enough interest on their own.

Although the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag isn't an exact match with the purple in the print, I really liked it with this outfit, and I only needed the essentials on our shopping trip anyway.

Last worn: gingerbread earrings, pink tee, floral print duster, white denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: pink tee and pencil skirt, floral print duster and shorts, white denim skirt and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and blue printed dress.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the pink and purple skirt and tee combination above so much, I wore it again, this time with my black Target denim skirt. This one was an opshop find. I really liked the purple tee with it, it's such a bold colour. Also wanted to add a necklace to this outfit as while I was also wearing statement gingerbread earrings in this outfit, they are a smaller set than the one above. With the blush pink necklace, and the pink floral print of the white cover up and the sorbet pink of the Balenciaga city bag, there was a lot of pink in this outfit, but I think all the shades of the colour worked so nicely together.

It was a good outfit for a hot day, with church in the morning, and then a kids bowling party in the afternoon.


Last worn:  floral cover up, blush necklace, purple tee, black denim skirt, Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a gift.

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and jeans, purple tee and printed jeans, black denim skirt and stripes, Converse and dress, Balenciaga sorbet city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet city bag at 37 weeks.

Tiered Midi Dresses, Blue Scarves and Superstar Sneakers

Adding a touch of navy to these colourful Kmart tiered midi dresses with printed scarves for winter office days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

While the faded electric blue 5 zip bag, dark navy suede moto jacket and tile print scarf are all different shades I though they looked nice with the orange tiered midi dress. I wear this dress with blue a lot, I always like blue and orange together. I did have a little matchy-matchy with the navy tassel earrings matching the tassels on the scarf, and that made me happy.

I find I'm reaching for this dress and similar ones quite a lot recently, as we get closer and closer to spring in Brisbane it isn't too cold to be going out with bare ankles, even on the early morning commute to the office as I had on this day.

Last worn: suede moto jacket, navy tassel earrings, geo print scarf, amber tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag.

Other ways to wear: suede moto jacket and printed dress, geo print scarf with purple, amber tiered midi dress worn two ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff 5 Zip bag and green skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: navy bird print scarf
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

I wish it had been a drier day so it wasn't so dark and cloudy when I took outfit photos in the morning, as I loved the colours in this outfit but it was hard to capture before rushing off into the city. It's not the first time I've worn this little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with a pink dress, the colour looks so good with a bright fuchsia. And while it is the first time I've worn the cobalt leather jacket with the fuchsia pink dress I do love wearing this dress with shades of blue.

I couldn't resist adding a few more shades of blue like I did in the outfit above, with the turquoise earrings and the navy bird print scarf. This was so cheerful and colourful, I loved this outfit. Perfect for a day in the office with some colleagues from outside Brisbane.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, gold and turquoise earrings, bird print scarf, pink tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket worn 30 ways, bird print scarf and denim jacket, pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and pencil skirt.
