Leopard Print Cocoon Cardigan With Black Denim

Two autumn outfits, both with black denim, colourful tops, and this cosy leopard print cocoon cardigan I recently thrifted.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Couldn't believe my luck when I saw this leopard print cardigan at my favourite opshop! At just $1 it was a good replacement for the leopard print cardi I had a couple of winters ago and decided wasn't perfect for me, so donated back. This one I really like. I'm a sucker for a cocoon shaped cardigan, and with the black and white leopard print it looks great with everything. Wore it for a cooler autumn morning, although I did end up taking the cardigan off by the time we got to church as the sun came out and the day warmed up nicely.

The rose gold necklace is an opshop find too, from the same trip I got this cute knit on. The black skinny jeans are an old opshop find and while the purple tee and pink Converse were purchased new, the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag was a preloved find as well.


Last worn: purple tee, rose gold necklace, black skinny jeans, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag. First time I've worn the pink Converse as they were a recent gift from mum, and first time I've worn the cardigan as it was a recent opshop buy.
 
Other ways to wear: purple tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and trench coat, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit to the one above with this leopard print cardigan. This time around I picked a plain pink cami, and a black denim pencil skirt. The cardigan was a great option to cover up the spaghetti straps on the cami when on video calls as I worked from home. It was warmer later in the day when I finished working and we stopped by the library, but I kept the cardigan on as I wasn't too hot in this denim skirt. Didn't need to carry much, so went with my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag which matched the cardigan, necklace and denim skirt nicely.

I liked the simplicity of this outfit and I see myself wearing this leopard print cocoon cardigan a lot more as the weather keeps cooling off here in Brisbane. Such a good opshop find.


Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan (above), black necklace, terracotta pink cami, black denim skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the Havaianas as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: terracotta pink cami and shorts, black denim skirt and stripes, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

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.

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.

Colourful Tees, Dark Denim Jeans, Cover Ups and Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Taking my Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag out again for a spin, with colourful tees and dark skinny jeans with statement cover ups on top for a little extra warmth. I really love this bag, but as it's so large and I don't always carry a lot, I don't use it as often as I should.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: silver twisted chain necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

I thought this pale coral tee would be a great piece to wear under this purple and red Paisley print cover up, to bring out the red in the print a little more. I think it worked well!

With the crew neckline though I definitely need to add a necklace for a little extra interest and so I went with this statement silver one that hadn't been worn in a while. Originally I was planning to wear a bag with silver hardware with this, but when I opened up my handbag wardrobe I saw this Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and realised it had been too long between wears. I figured the gold hardware on the bag and the silver necklace were far enough apart that they would work well together. 

I had a busy day, with some appointments and errands to run as well as attending my son's performances at school in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening, so I'd taken the day off to try fit it all in. It meant that as well as my usual essentials in my bag, I had a water bottle, my camera for the show, and a book for reading while waiting at the appointment. This bag carries it all so well!


Last worn: Paisley print cover up, silver twist necklace, pale coral tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. First time I've worn the sandals as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and skirt, pale coral tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag and dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Salty Crush Haylo pink lace duster 
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

A slightly less busy day on this day, but again I stuck with the colourful tee, dark skinny jeans and pretty cover up outfit formula as before. I had the school run, working from home, and a couple of appointments in the afternoon for both the kids and I, so again I wore my Marc by Marc Jacobs carob brown Fran bag. I needed to bring a book for all the waiting around at the appointments!

My sister got me this beautiful pink lace duster for Christmas and I always admire it hanging in my wardrobe but feel it has to be a special occasion to wear it. Wearing it on a regular working from home and school run day was a good way to break myself of that habit and give this pretty piece more chances to be worn, I really enjoyed wearing it!


Last worn: pink lace duster, lilac tee, blush beaded necklace, coated black skinny jeans, black Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pink lace duster and shorts, lilac tee worn 30 ways, coated black skinny jeans and knit, black Converse and dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: lilac tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in second trimester.

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.

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.

Coated Skinny Jeans, Converse and Winter Knits

I picked up these coated denim jeans at the opshop last month to give them a try. And despite worrying at first they looked too much like leggings, I've realised how fun they are to wear! Not sure how they will go in the warmer weather, but for cold winter days they have kept me nice and warm, especially paired with cosy knits like in these outfits.

What I wore:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Jumper: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

The first time I wore these jeans I worried they looked too like leggings so I paired them with a long tunic tee. This time around I wore this cosy knit to keep me warm, and tucked it in to the waist to show off the jean zipper details and pockets a little better. I really liked the rich wine colour of the knit with the neutral taupe skull scarf too, and with the black coated jeans and black Converse I felt like adding a little extra colour with this fun hand painted bag.

I really liked this outfit - with the ribbed texture of the knit and the coated denim textures together it looked lovely. Perfect for the school run, a quick visit to a friend, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: wine jumper, taupe skull scarf, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: wine jumper and skirt, taupe skull scarf and skirt, coated denim jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: House of Harlow sunburst necklace in silver and grey
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

It was the perfect weather for this cosy knitted poncho on this day! I again wore my coated denim jeans, just like in the first outfit, I like the coated denim and the added texture of a chunky knit on top. With the black and white knit and the black jeans and again the black Converse, then the black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag though, this outfit definitely need a little extra colour! It was the perfect excuse to wear the purple tee mum bought for me on our last shopping trip. I love the colour, it is a really rich purple that pops against all of the black.

Really liked wrapping myself up in this cosy knit for the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff poncho, sunburst necklace, coated jeans (above), black Converse (above), Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the purple tee as it's a recent addition to my wardrobe.

30 Ways To Wear: Atmos&Here Slouchy Wine Purple V-Neck Tee

Continuing on with trying to make my #30wears posts a regular monthly feature this year. This month, I'm showing 30 different ways I've worn this beautiful deep purple wine v-neck tee from Atmos&Here.

30 Ways To Wear: Wine Purple V-Neck Tee

Cost Per Wear

I bought this tee back in October 2013, on sale for just $14.47, as I had an extra discount code. It's not the only slouchy soft rolled sleeve v-neck tee I have bought from Atmos&Here. I used to have a grey, black, and a striped one. This one, however, is the only one that I've manged to hit 30 wears with.

The super soft modal also has spandex in it which means that over the years, its stopped being so stretchy and more baggy as the spandex has worn away. Luckily this one seemed to hold its shape better than the others and I hit 31 wears with it, but it's been a lesson for me that if I want my clothes to last, pay attention to the fabric composition. I have a lot more cotton tees in my wardrobe now! Even if the extra stetch in this tee was helpful to see me through 2 pregnancies and very helpful in the breastfeeding days, I prefer just plain cotton tees now.

At 31 wears, it's now definitely too worn and stretched out to continue wearing, but still super soft, so will be a good pyjama top! It has had a low 47 cents cost per wear, and it's taught me a valuable lesson on paying attention to the fabric content of the things I buy, even if it's not something I'll be able to get a lot more wear from in future.


I don't have a lot of this deep wine-purple coloured burgundy in my wardrobe, so it's been interesting looking back to see how I have worn this. I like it a lot with black and other darker colours, but it has been worn with some brighter pairings too. Here are 30 different ways I've worn it over the 10 years it's been in my wardrobe.

Wine V-Neck Tee With Denim

I don't think there can be a more classic combo than a v-neck tee and denim! Sometimes I'll pair this tee with jeans, or shorts, even denim skirts. With the plain block colour, printed jeans work too. As do sequins, wearing my awesome Haus of Queenie custom kimono in the middle there.

Deep Purple Tee With Floral Prints

I like throwing a cover up or duster on top of a denim and tee outfit, as I have here in these 4 outfits. A floral cover up is a great way to add more colour and print to a plain tee like this wine one.

Wine V-Neck Tee With Stripes

As I've shown above I'm partial to florals, but stripes and even other prints like leopard work well against the plain dark background of this tee too!

Deep Purple Tee With Skirts

You saw the denim skirt with this wine tee above but it works with all other kinds of skirts, like a maxi skirt or with a pencil skirt for the office. I loved that it still fit over the bump with my maternity pencil skirt at the bottom there!

Wine Tee With Blue

Blue is my favourite colour and I'll wear it with everything. While this dark tee is a bit more burgundy than plain purple, living up to the 'wine' colour label well, I do still like wearing it with shades of blue just as I would with a purely purple tee. Different shades of blue in a scarf work well, and even a brighter turquoise like you can see in the middle of these outfits is good with the tee.

Deep Purple Tee With Grey

Of course if you're not sure what colour to wear with something, neutrals always work! This tee works well with grey skirts. I really like it with the grey skirt in the first and last outfits, so good I wore it twice! And it was nice to knot it over the grey tie-dye maxi dress in the middle there for something a little different.

Wine Tee With Other Shades Of Red

I have tried now and then to be a little more adventurous with this tee. Pairing it with much brighter shades of red, and other lighter shades of burgundy. I've really liked the combination, done on a small scale with a little crossbody bag, or on a larger scale with a printed cover up or that striped maxi skirt in the third outfit.

Deep Purple Tee With Brights

One unexpected combination I really ended up liking with this tee was adding a brighter piece against the deep wine purple shade. I really liked the wine with the rust orange skirts, and the little yellow bag and yellow print on the shorts in the second outfit there. It was a good way to lighten up this tee and I'm glad I gave the orange and burgundy colour scheme a try!

Chloe Small Paraty, Denim, And Statement Cover Ups

Adding a little extra interest to a plain tee and denim outfit in both of these outfits with statement cover ups. A fun sequin piece and a long flowing duster help to make these outfits stand out a little more.

What I wore:

Jacket: custom The Haus of Queenie sequin kimono
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace layered with Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Had a bit of a trim for my hair. It's really not growing as fast as I'd like (I'm trying to donate it again) so I thought a little trim would speed up the process! Spent some time shopping afterwards, as well as all going out for lunch. I didn't buy anything for myself but we did have fun buying some birthday presents for the kids and taking advantage of some of the sales to do so!

This sequin kimono is so beautiful and statement-making, one of the sales assistants in the shops said I was "very Harry Styles", haha! I love seeing people's reactions when I wear this, even on just a standard day out shopping with the family. It always makes people smile, I love wearing it! As I said to my sister, it is definitely designed for dancing the night away, but it also just brings me so much joy wearing it with everyday outfits.

Without it this deep purple tee and distressed denim skirt was a bit plain, I really liked how it elevated the outfit a bit. And I loved how similar this purple Chloe Paraty bag is with the deep purple of the tee, they are the perfect pairing.


Last worn: sequin kimono, earrings, coin necklace, stone pendant necklace, purple tee, distressed denim skirt, Havaianas, Chloe purple small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin kimono worn 2 ways, purple tee and maxi skirt, distressed denim skirt and leopard print, Chloe purple small Paraty bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester.

Tee: Kmart Dnight navy textured v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas

Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

With the blue tee, blue necklace, distressed denim shorts, periwinkle Paraty, and navy Havaianas, this was a very monochromatic blue outfit! This statement duster was a nice way to add a little more colour to my outfit. I really like blue and green together!

Just like this outfit above, adding the extra duster layer on top helped me feel more pulled together. It was a quiet day, just having a playdate with one of my son's friends.
