Animal Print and Blazer Office Outfits With Pink

Two different pink and animal print outfits for the office, worn with blazers to dress them up a little.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was a really good day at work! A colleague from another office was visiting and it was lovely to see them again.

I only had a few meetings so went with a jeans and blazer outfit, with this cheetah print cami. I like wearing printed tops with this blush pink blazer, it's always a good combination. I added a little more pink with the pink Converse, although they don't match the shade of pink in the blazer I like the two shades together with all the neutrals in the outfit. The brown Chloe Paddington I've been wearing a lot lately, and I thought matched nicely with the brown in the print of the tank. While the hardware and padlock on the Paddington bag is gold I thought that the silver accessories would be nice with this. The hammered silver statement necklace and silver circle earrings are such a nice pairing together. Both are opshop finds.


Last worn: blush blazer, silver circle earrings, silver statement necklace, cheetah print cami, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearblush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyblush blazer in third trimesterChloe Paddington in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

This is a very different looking outfit from the one above, but it follows the same basic formula with a blazer, some animal print, and a touch of pink. this time around it was a lot of leopard print, with this beautiful maxi skirt, which was an opshop find. The grey tee was a good neutral with the bold print, and then the black blazer from my sister's wardrobe was a nice topper. Even with the gold accessories, the statement earrings and the faux pearl necklace, this outfit felt like it needed a little more. The pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was just the right way to add a little more colour, and I liked the matchy-matchy with the gold accessories and the gold hardware on the mini5-zip bag.

I wore my converse again - I pretty much live in sneakers now! With the brown ones to match the brown in the leopard print of the skirt. Another easy office outfit.


Last worn: black blazer, gold earrings, faux pearl necklace, grey tee, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Pink and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Love Too Bag

Two very different black and pink jeans and tee outfits, with patterned cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

It was good to get this cosy knit out again! The perfect topper to keep me warm for a day with the school run, working from home and a quick errand in the afternoon. I always enjoy getting this knitted poncho out each winter, it's like wearing a giant blanket really! The black and white pattern adds a nice bit of an interest to any outfit I wear it with, and it is warm enough so I just needed a plain tee underneath.  Added a little colour with the pink frayed hem Zara jeans, an opshop find.

The necklace doesn't have any pink in it but I liked the simplicity of it against the textures white tee and the pastel orange was a nice colour worn with the pastel pink jeans.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, beaded necklace, textured white tee, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, textured white tee and shorts, pink frayed hem jeans and jumper, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and packing up for and driving the boys to camp in the evening.

Of course by the time we left for camp I'd swapped the light floral waterfall jacket for a cosier hoodie, but during the day this light jacket was all I needed. I liked the bright burst of colour it added to the monochromatic grey tee and black skinny jeans outfit. The turquoise wooden necklace and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag were nice accessories to add a little more colour too.


Last worn: magenta floral waterfall jacket, turquoise beaded necklace, grey tunic tee, Jeanswest black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Tees, Grey Jeans, Cocoon Cardigans And Love Too Bag

Another two jeans and tee outfits with some cocoon cardigans for autumn working from home days back in May. I'm wearing my little croc embossed Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with both of these outfits, I love how it just goes with everything!


What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I liked the simplicity of this outfit, with the long grey cocoon cardigan keeping me warm, and the clay tee adding some colour between the grey cardigan and grey jeans. I picked the brown Converse as they seemed similar to the clay tee but they are much more different than I had thought. Luckily the brown is a nice neutral so they still work with all the other neutral grey tones in this outfit. I added a little extra colour with the pendant necklace as well.

Wanted to be comfortable more than anything and these stretchy jeans are very comfortable to wear - perfect for a bit of driving around in the morning for an early morning vet appointment for cooper, and then working from home for the rest of the day.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, stone pendant necklace, rust tee, grey skinny jeans, brown Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
EarringsColette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit with another neutral cocoon cardigan over grey jeans and a tee! This time around I went a little brighter with the pink tee, and the fuchsia earrings. While the shades of pink are very different I thought they looked nice together, and it dressed up my outfit a little for video calls as I worked from home.

My son had an early morning appointment at the doctors before school, I worked from home and then after school pickup they had an evening kids event at church to attend, so it was a bit of a busy day with the driving around. I was thankful for this cosy cardigan keeping me warm as it was a bit windy, especially at the event in the evening. Although I wore this back in autumn it was definitely starting to get cooler.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, double circle necklace, pink tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Pink Jeans, Grey Tees and Cocoon Cardigans

Two pink jeans and grey tee outfits for back in autumn, when the milder weather meant I just needed to layer with these cocoon cardigans. Both of them are opshop finds!


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this to volunteer at my local polling place for Election day, serving up sausages at the sausage sizzle! If you're not Australian you might not know most polling places have a BBQ, maybe even some baking, to fundraise for community groups. It was my first time volunteering on election day, although obviously not my first sausage sizzle, and it went well! Was good to contribute to democracy sausages!

I was very conscious I didn't want to dress in any of the political party colours but with the grey tee and the black cocoon cardigan this outfit needed a little colour. These magenta Sass and Bide jeans were the perfect pop. I added a little matching magenta with the marble necklace, and another shade of pink with the Converse. I really liked how this outfit came together, although I ended up taking the knit off quite early in the morning as it turned into a really warm day.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, marble necklace, grey tee, magenta jeans, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearblack cocoon cardigan and white jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans with blue, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.






What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was not as fun a day! I was quite busy as Cooper had surgery so I had to take him to the vets and pick him up afterwards. Along with this the kids had school, sports in the evening and I was also working from home. Thankfully the surgery went well! I dressed comfortably, jeans and tee is a go-to for working from home in cooler weather, and the pink leopard print cocoon cardigan kept me cosy. Just like the outfit above, I went with pink jeans again to add a little more colour. These are an opshop find, and although they are a lighter pink, a grey tee goes with everything! 

I wore my Chloe Paddington bag again, I've been carrying it a lot lately, and with such a busy day I didn't want the hassle of changing bags so just kept using this one, although when juggling Cooper in my arms I did wish I'd picked a lighter bag, maybe a crossbody one!


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded tassel necklace, grey tunic tee, pink skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Striped Tees, Jeans, Long Coats And Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

More autumn jeans outfits - I really do reach for my denim a lot in the cooler weather! This time around I'm wearing jeans and striped tees with my purple small Chloe Paraty bag, for some working from home days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Teethrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was another busy day! With the school run, working from home, a vet visit for the dogs, and then sports in the evening. While it was warmer during the day when I was out with the dogs, this warm grey cocoon cardigan was much needed for the cooler morning and the very cold evening outdoors with the kids.

I felt like this Coca-Cola logo stripe tee was overdue another wear, and it's a nice simple outfit paired with the plain grey cardigan and black skinny jeans. I added the Adidas Superstar for more black and white, and then an extra bit of colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag. The deep wine coloured purple shade is particularly suited for autumn, I've been reaching for it a lot lately.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to weargrey cocoon cardigan and skirt, Coca-Cola logo tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.






What I wore:






Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
EarringsColette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Another striped tee and jeans outfit for working from home, again with the school run and a vet trip for Cooper. I like a casual jeans and tee outfit for working from home, as it's so comfortable. I did try to dress this up a little with these pretty purple acrylic slower earrings I picked up on a day out with my mum and sister lately. The store had a 3 for $10 sale and I couldn't resist! I felt these helped add a little interest and dressed up the tee enough for video calls.

I then went with the blue beaded necklace to match the earrings, and this denim trench coat that I absolutely adore. Despite it being quite popular when it was released last year, it went on sale in my local Kmart store for just $10 when spring arrived, and I had to snap it up. It's quite a soft denim and I like the relaxed oversized fit, will be perfect for layering with chunky knits when winter arrives. It was a nice way to do double denim with the grey jeans, and again I wore the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a touch of autumn colour.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, blue beaded necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, white leather Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag (above). First time I've worn the trench as I bought it on sale last year in warmer weather, and first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Green Jeans, Printed Tanks and Blazers For The Office

Two outfits with printed tanks, jeans and blazers, an easy office outfit formula for autumn.


What I wore:






Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Green and pink is not some thing I wear together an awful lot, but I was inspired to try this blush pink bag with the olive green jeans thanks to the pink in the terrazzo print of this tank. The Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag matches the subtle blush pink in the tank quite well I thought, so I gave it a go. With a neutral black blazer and white Converse, I really liked this outfit and the blush and olive combination.

Great for another autumn day in the office, the blazer made the sleeve less tank warm enough for the cooler commute.


Last worn: black blazer, circle necklace, terrazzo tank, olive jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB.

What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Unlike pink and green, blue and green is a combination I wear fairly often, so this bright cobalt blue blazer was an easy choice to layer with the teal skinny jeans. This fern print tank is a fun one that was overdue another wear as well. I liked the matching blue against the blazer, and I thought the colours looked great against the teal jeans.

I went with the statement gold circle necklace to match the statement gold hardware on the Chloe Paddington bag.

This was a very long day as I'd been kept late in the office working on an issue, and after I got home from work I had to rush my son to hospital. It was a very busy evening in the ER and he needed an x-ray so we were there over 4 hours. Thankfully no broken bones for him, but we were a little worried there for a bit! He's fully recovered now.


Last worn: blue blazer, gold circle necklace, fern print tank, teal skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Green Camis and Bright Blazers With Converse

Two green toned camis for office days, with bright blazers over the top to add even more colour.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
SkirtAsos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really like blue and green together, but this is the first time I've worn this mint cami with the bright cobalt blazer. It was such a fun combination! I picked the grey pencil skirt to wear as I haven't worn it for a while. It used to be an office staple before 2020, but things are a lot more casual and relaxed in the office now, and so I was debating if I even still needed it in my wardrobe or if it's too corporate. I'm so glad that I gave it another wear, pleased that it fit, and it can come back into my office rotation, it's such a good basic!

Paired with casual Converse because they are my go-to shoe lately, along with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. While it's been worn more recently than the pencil skirt, it was still overdue a wear. Like the skirt, the bag also needs to be worn more often!


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mint cami, gold circle necklace, clay earrings, grey pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearcobalt blazer and dress, mint cami and shorts, grey pencil skirt in winter, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancypencil skirt in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was a much cooler and wetter day than the day above, so it called for jeans! I love dressing up jeans with a blazer in the office. And with the black jeans and the light olive cami it was a bit of a neutral outfit, especially with the brown Converse and the pale Chloe Ethel bag. I think the bright orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with this outfit!

The blazer dressed up the jeans, covered up the spaghetti straps of the cami and kept me warm on the cold and wet commute.

Dolman Sleeve Blouses, Skinny Jeans and Chloe Paddington Bag

With the cooler autumn weather in Brisbane, I've started reaching for my jeans more often. I wear them to work as well as on my work from home or weekend days, they are great in the cooler weather. When I wore both of these jeans I dressed them up a little with statement sleeved black blouses, chunky necklaces, and my Chloe Paddington bag. My friends and I have been talking about the Paddington since it was re-released and I couldn't resist getting my old bags out again!


What I wore:






EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This actually turned into a much warmer day than I had expected, and I regretted the decision to wear jeans a little! I did like how well these teal skinny jeans matched the teal wooden bead in my statement necklace though, such a good pairing and the necklace was a nice pop of colour against the black blouse. This top is an old favourite, and it's great for autumn where I don't need an extra layer or jacket on top and can show off the dolman sleeves.

With the necklace matching the jeans, and the black Converse matching the blouse, I added some brown with the brun Chloe Paddington bag. It's an original from 2007, and I bought it second hand around 2008/2009. I love it so much! While it hasn't been worn a lot recently, I wore it a lot at the beginning of my blogging days.

It was good to get it out again and remember why I love it so much, expect to see it pop up more often. I don't always follow trends, shopping mostly second hand anyway, but I love this bag (my first designer bag buy!) and it's good to have an excuse to get it out again.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, wooden statement necklace, black button up blouse, teal skinny jeans, black Converse, Chloe brun Paddington.

Other ways to wearblack button up blouse and skirt, teal skinny jeans and stripes, black Converse and dress, Chloe brun Paddington and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester, Chloe brun Paddington in second trimester.





What I wore:






Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Top: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse (new purchase)
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Although this outfit is less colourful than the one above as I stuck to neutrals in this outfit, I also really liked this! The white skinny jeans were a really easy pairing with this black dolman sleeve blouse I thrifted recently. Black clothing never seems to photograph well, but it has a subtle rib all over and with the full sleeves it's such a nice twist on a plain black top. I knew I had to get it at the opshop, such a good piece for office days!

I kept with the neutrals with the brown wooden necklace, brown Chloe Paddington bag again, and brown Converse sneakers. The necklace and bag are such a good match, and I felt the brown Converse complimented them both nicely, even if they don't match exactly.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, wooden statement necklace, white cropped skinny jeans, brown ConverseChloe brun Paddington (above). First time I've worn the blouse as it was a recent opshop find.
