Matching Tees To Cover Ups With Dark Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing some simple jeans and tee outfits with some recently thrifted cover ups and my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag to add a little more colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Since I thrifted the navy flat necklace and the zig zag print cover up together, I knew I'd end up wearing them together, the navy shades match perfectly! Just like last time I wore this cover up, I tried a little turquoise bag to make the turquoise in the print pop out a bit more. Once again, it didn't really seem to work. I did love how well the pink tee went with the coral in the navy print though, I felt it brought that out well, and I do like all shades of pink and blue together.

Staple jeans and Converse as it was a busy day, with working from home, the school run, and an appointment at the vets for Cooper. Converse were good for all the driving around.

Last worn: zig zag print cover up, navy flat necklace, pink tee, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Converse, Balenciaga Blue India first bag.

Other ways to wear: zig zag print cover up and skirt, pink tee and printed shorts, grey Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Balenciaga Blue India first bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What's Inside: Balenciaga Blue India First Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

I liked wearing this burgundy floral print cover up with my purple tee first time I wore it. So I thought I'd try it again with a dark tee, with this burgundy tunic and the black skinny jeans. It's not a perfect match to the colours in the print of the kimono, but I still really liked this outfit. I think the necklace was a good addition too, it took me a couple of tries that morning to find just the right necklace!

The Balenciaga first bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, unlike the outfit above, but I do love the pop of colour it adds, especially against the faded black skinny jeans.

We took advantage of the public holiday to head down the coast and spend some time with my parents. The rain arrived and slightly derailed our picnic plans, but our picnic in the lounge room was just as fun.

Red Tees and Red Bag Outfits With Denim Skirts And Sneakers

Trying something a little different with these denim shorts and tees outfits! Wearing red Rebecca Minkoff crossbody bags with red tees. It was fun to wear these different shades of red together.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Nobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This clay colour tee is one that's not quite a true brown, not quite a true red, so I struggle a little thinking of what to wear it with. I thought I'd try it with a red bag, and needing a cover up as we would be inside in the aircon most of the day, picked this printed one with the red bits in the print that perfectly coordinated with the bag.

I think that the print helped tie together the two different shades of red really nicely, and of course this black distressed denim skirt goes with everything. As do the Converse!

It was a quiet day, we had a few errands to run in the morning as well as getting the kids a much needed hair cut.


Last worn: printed cape, clay tee, terrazzo necklace, Nobody Denim skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: printed cape over dress, clay tee and printed shorts, Nobody Denim skirt and leopard print, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt 
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

Why I wore it:

Had a bit of driving to do on this day, so comfortable sneakers were a necessity. Had an early morning start to drive the kids down the coast to the Animal Welfare League shelter where we adopted Cooper. They had a school holiday program where you could spend a day at the shelter learning all about it, and getting to play with all the different animals and teach the dogs some tricks. As it was over an hour's drive from home I stayed down the coast for the time the kids were at the shelter, at my parent's house which was a lot closer.

Since most of the day was lounging around at my parent's and driving, I needed to be comfortable. Denim and a tee were an easy choice, and I liked how similar the shades of red were on this coral tee and micro Avery bag. The navy tie dye cape was a good cover up and it added a little extra colour too so it didn't feel like too much red.


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, coral tee, pearl and heart charm necklace, Target denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape with yellow, coral tee and maxi skirt, Target denim skirt with striped tee, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery crossbody worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It:

If you have a colourful bag in your wardrobe it can be fun matching it to a similar tee. If the shades are different, like in the first outfit, or closer together, like in the second outfit, a printed cover up is a nice way to add a colourful printed buffer.
