Red Tees and Black Cardigans With Skinny Jeans

Just like in my previous post, wearing red tees again! This time paired with black knits and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee 
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

I love how blanket-like this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana is! The black and white print means it goes with everything, and jeans and a tee is a bit of a staple for me in winter, especially paired with this cosy topper. It was a nice easy outfit for working from home, with the school run and then the end of term wrap-party for sports in the evening. I just wrapped the knit around me to keep me warmer at night!

I did take a big book along with me to the party, it was a party for the kids, so I just had to sit on the sidelines. I needed a big bag for it and this Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM bag was perfect, as it fit my essentials, the large novel I was reading from the library, and my water bottle too.

The tee, like the necklace, is recently thrifted. While the necklace sticks with the neutral colour scheme of the black and white knit and Converse, black jeans and grey bag, I liked the pop of colour the red tee added to this outfit.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana, statement beaded necklace, red crew neck tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff soft grey MAM.

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff knit ruana and jeans, red crew neck tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit! It was a quiet weekend but I had a couple of errands to run. We were celebrating a big milestone at work the next day, so I ran round a few grocery stores to pick up the perfect ingredients for a cookie platter. It was fun to put together, especially as I ate a couple accidentally broken cookies that didn't make it into the box at the end!

Just like the outfit above, the red tee provides most of the colour in this outfit, with the white Converse, grey skinny jeans, and black cocoon cardigan. I did add a little extra colour with the blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag and the blue beaded necklace too. Just like the necklace in the outfit above, it's a recent opshop find.

Red Tees, Printed Maxi Skirts, Blue Jackets and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Wearing some colourful blue and red outfits, with printed maxi skirts, red tees, blue jackets and recently thrifted necklaces.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Necklace: thrifted blue knotted beaded necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Suzanne Grae basics red tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! The red tee is a new-to-me opshop find. I am always on the hunt for good basic cotton tees in the opshops, and I loved the bright red of this. Although I have a few red tees already in my wardrobe, at just $1, I had to pick this up! With the bright cobalt leather jacket it really pops, and I added some more interest to this outfit with the leopard print maxi skirt. The skirt is also an opshop find. Despite a small slit up the side it was long enough on this breezey winter day to keep my legs cosy. I went with the brown Converse to match the browns in the leopard print skirt, and then I went matchy-matchy with the bag and necklace too. I think this Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great pairing with the greyish-blue on this necklace.

While it was a colder winter day, we were up early as I took the kids to a science show. They had a great time, made the errands we had to run afterwards a little more bearable as we had such fun at the show!


Last worn: blue leather jacket, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. First time I've worn the necklace and the tee as they are recent opshop buys.

Other ways to wear: blue leather jacket worn 30 ways, leopard print maxi skirt and blazer, brown Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another red tee and maxi skirt outfit combination! Like the one above, I stuck with blue and red, with this deeper burgundy tee and the fun blue tie dye print maxi skirt. I went with a darker blue jacket with this navy suede one that's really warm for winter. Perfect for an early morning school drop off, although I didn't need it too much in the afternoon for school pick up. I worked from home when the kids were at school, had an appointment, and then took the kids to the dentist after school.

While the shades of blue and red in this outfit are different from the brighter ones above, I liked this outfit too. The skirt does have a pretty large slit up the side so was not as warm as I'd have liked in the morning, but it thankfully got warmer later in the day when the sun was shining.

Just like the outfit above, I accessorised with the Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag - it fits my current library read in it along with all my essentials, great for in the writing room at the dentist. The necklace is an opshop find too, I thrifted both this one and the blue one in the same store. I love the chunky beads.


Last worn: navy suede jacket, burgundy tee, tie dye maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy suede jacket and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Colourful Tees and Pencil Skirts

Two simple but colourful office outfits with crew neck tees, textured pencil skirts, Converse and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I like green and blue together, so it seems like an obvious pairing to wear this navy jacquard pencil skirt with the green crew neck tee. Of course I couldn't settle on just one shade of blue with this tee, so I added more. The tee is a really nice green that goes with everything, from the pastel blue of the Converse or the darker bluey-grey of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the navy in the statement necklace and pencil skirt.

It's been a while since I've worn this necklace, but the green tee with the high neckline was the perfect backdrop for it I felt.


Last worn: statement necklace, green tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Because I love a good easily repeatable outfit formula, another office day and the same outfit. This time I went with a red tee and a textured silver pencil skirt. Again I added a statement necklace, Converse and a little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. This aquamarine one adds a touch more colour to the outfit, it's a great pop against the coral red of the tee.

I did add a few more accessories to this to try and elevate the outfit a little for the office, with another statement necklace, the silver hoop earrings, and the silver cuff bracelet. Just like the outfit above, while the colours and pieces are different, I really like this outfit formula of tee, pencil skirt and Converse for my business casual office.


Last worn: coral tee, silver hoop earrings, faux pearl necklace, silver pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, silver pencil skirt and jacket, white Converse and dress, aqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

Burgundy Tees, Black Denim Skirts, Printed Cover Ups And Mimco Mim-Mazing Bag

Two simple burgundy tee and black denim skirt outfits, with colourful cover ups and my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the school drop off, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon before picking the kids up at school. While the red on this Paisley print duster is a lighter red, I think it pairs so nicely with deeper reds and this burgundy tee was overdue a wear. It was a super hot day, so a cute denim mini skirt was a practical choice to beat the heat, and then I had to go matchy-matchy with the Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. I did consider wearing black sandals with this to complete the matchy-matchy feel, but decided on these simple slides instead, mostly because I didn't have to look as hard for these as they were right by the door, ha!


Last worn: heart stud earrings, bronze foil necklace, twist bracelet stack, Paisley print cover up, burgundy tee, Nobody Denim skirt, tan slides, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: Paisley print cover up and jeans, burgundy tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skirt with pink and purple, tan slides and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Shein black floral print cover up
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This black floral print thrifted cover up is a lovely sheer material, however it is polyester and I did regret picking it for that reason alone a few times on this day, as I ran around between stores as I had a couple errands and some groceries to buy. It got very hot!

I did like the way the black florals worked with the black denim skirt and the burgundy tee, the colours all look so good together. Like in the first outfit, the red in the print is lighter than the deep red of the tee, but again I liked the pieces together. It was just a very humid day and the extra layer in a not very breathable fabric wasn't ideal! I think the outfit would have been a little plain without that extra print though.


Last worn: floral cover up, beaded necklace, burgundy tee, black denim skirt, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and shorts, burgundy tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

Red Tees, Printed Culotte Shorts and Teal Cocoon Bag

Two simple red tee and printed shorts outfits, with my little teal MIMCO cocoon bucket bag, for some fun summer school holiday adventures with the kids.

What I wore:

Earrings: glitter Santa hat stud earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

It's been way too long since I last wore this red tee. I confess it kind of got a little lost in my wardrobe with all the red tees I have! I really like the darker red though and while there isn't any red in the print of these pastel culotte shorts I liked the two together. It was the Christmas school holidays, so I added a very subtle festive touch with the teal MIMCO cocoon bucket bag. I don't think it was too obvious, but it made me smile wearing this combination.

We had a busy day, with a fun insect event in the morning. The kids got to learn more about insects and then go on a bug hunt to identify some bugs with the expert, so they were in their element. Even though there were a few rain showers while we were outdoors they still had the best time. Afterwards I had a couple of errands to run and we grabbed lunch before going home. Despite the rain showers it was a really hot and humid day so this shorts and tee pairing was perfect.


Last worn: glitter earrings, red tee, mixed metal necklace, printed culotte shorts, white Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: red tee and linen shorts, printed culotte shorts and blazer, white Converse and dress, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: B-Sparkly blue glitter resin tree earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the red tee and printed culottes outfit formula so much above, I did what I always do, and repeated the same formula again! Like the previous outfit, there isn't any red in this lemon print on the culotte shorts, but I liked the pairing.

I wore this the day after the one above, we had another event on in the morning, a STEM event at the local library which the kids loved. I then took them out for lunch and we spent an hour or so in the arcade afterwards. It was our first time at that arcade and they do party bookings so I'm already thinking about birthday parties next year!

Unlike the day above, we were mostly indoors, enjoying the aircon at the library, restaurant and then the arcade. I still liked the simple shorts and tee combination though, good for a summer day even if it was spent mostly in aircon temps!


Last worn:  coral tee, blue beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, leopard print sandals, Mimco teal cocoon bag (above). First time I've worn the Christmas earrings.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and skirt, navy printed culottes and cardigan, leopard print sandals and dress, Mimco teal cocoon bag with pink.

Colourful Tees Black and White Maxi Skirts

Adding some colour to two different black and white printed maxi skirts with these simple tees. I've been reaching for maxi skirts quite often lately when the summer days are not too hot and humid.

What I wore:

Earrings: mini glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag:  Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I struggled a bit for what to wear on this day! I was working from home, but we had a themed event I'd be joining via video call so I wanted to be comfortable but also wearing something pink to meet the theme. After work I wanted to be a bit covered up for sports in the evening to provide a physical barrier against the mozzies. Ended up settling on this bright pink tee with the black and white maxi skirt. I love plain block colour tees like this as they go with all the prints in my wardrobe!

With the school run, working from home and sports in the evening, I didn't need to carry much and certainly not as much as this large bag can hold. I  still wore my Chloe Marcie bag though as it's been a while since I've worn it and it was overdue a wear.


Last worn: gingerbread man earrings, pink tee, wood and silicone necklace, black printed maxi skirt, braided sandals, Chloe Marcie bag.
 
Other ways to wear: pink tee and shorts, black printed maxi skirt in neutral outfit, braided sandals and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold gingerbread house earrings
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco vintage cocoon bucket bag in teal

Why I wore it:

This was a subtle way to try red and green. very subtle with the teal Mimco crossbody bag and the pale coral tee. I felt it was a nice themed combination along with the little gingerbread house earrings! I've been enjoying wearing all my Christmas themed earrings this year. Both the coral tee and the vertical striped maxi skirt, like the necklace, are all opshop finds. I really like this skirt as it's nice and light for a warm day - it was perfect as the kids had a sport event on and the rain had cleared up turning it into a very humid day.

Wore my comfortable black Converse as I had a bit of driving to do, to and from the kids event, and needed to support my knee.


Last worn: gingerbread house earrings, coral tee, terrazzo necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, black Converse, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, vertical stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, teal Mimco cocoon bucket bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Coral Tees, Black Jeans, Converse, Printed Cover Ups and Falabella Bag

Some cooler and rainy spring days had me reaching for my jeans again! Both of these outfits have black skinny jeans, with Converse and my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I added more colour with the coral tees and printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
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: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This was a very colourful outfit! With the red print in this tropical palm print cover up I was surprised to realise that I hadn't worn it with this coral tee before, they seem like such an obvious combination! I tried it out and I really liked it but figured I'd make the rest of the outfit neutral to balance out all that bright colour. The coated skinny jeans are a firm favourite after I recently thrifted them, and then the black Converse and black Stella McCartney Fallabella bag (also an opshop find!) were nice matchy-matchy neutrals too.

Had a fun morning out with the kids - we had to get new school shoes for them as we only got 3 terms out of the shoes we got at the start of the school year unfortunately. But we headed out to the outlets to take advantage of the sales, got ourselves a few extra treats too and managed to buy a few Christmas presents as well. It was a really productive day, and the storm that had been threatening all morning hit when we were inside the outlets so we thankfully missed the worst of it.


Last worn: tropical palm print cover up, neutral beaded necklace, coral tee, coated denim jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical palm print cover up and green, coral tee and maxi skirt, coated denim jeans and knit, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

While the colours of this outfit are a little more muted compared to the outfit above, it's a similar outfit formula with the coral tee, printed cover up, and then black skinny jeans, black Converse and black Falabella bag. I liked this just as much as the outfit above. Jeans and a tee is a good outfit choice for rainy spring days. I just had the school run and then working from home, so wanted to be comfortable.

I liked the paler coral tee with all the black here, and the brown animal print cover up works so nicely with the muted colour of the tee and all the black in the outfit. I also like how everything in this outfit is an opshop find! The only piece that wasn't thrifted is the black Converse.


Last worn: animal print cover up, neutral beaded necklace, pale coral tee, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: animal print cover up and shorts, pale coral tee and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

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.
