2 Outfits With Luna Blue Edie Shoulder Bag Worn With Pink

Two outfits with my Rebecca Minkoff Luna Edie shoulder bag worn with pink. Pink skirt in the first outfit, and pink jeans in the second. Both of these outfits were worn for working from home days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: handmade pink and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Country Road grey crew neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Rama Boho Fashion pink and orange floral print button up midi skirt (new purchase)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Both the tee and skirt are opshop finds! I thought the plain grey tee would be a good pairing with this bright and colourful pink and orange floral midi skirt, it's a nice neutral to balance out all the colour. it was still a cooler day so I layered up with this Jeanswest navy suede moto jacket. The Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag I picked because while I was working from home I did have the school run and a physio appointment to attend. This bag fits all my essentials plus had room for my latest library read while I was waiting for my appointment.

With the pinks in the skirt, I couldn't resist adding a little more pink with the accessories, with the pastel pink Converse and the pink beaded necklace I made. I liked all the different shades of pink in this outfit.


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, Country Road grey tee, pink handmade necklacepink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag. It's the first time I've worn the floral skirt as it's a recent opshop find.

What I wore:



JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Just like when I wore the outfit above, this was another working from home day. I went with my comfortable go-to for working from home days, with jeans and a tee. I made it a little more colourful with the pastel blue tee and the pink frayed hem jeans. I liked the two light shades of pink and blue together. I did have to layer up a little, so I wore this cosy Rebecca Minkoff knitted ruana poncho, perfect for keeping me warm on the school run and when the kids had sports in the evening.

Again I had another appointment during the day, the doctors this time, so I wore the Luna blue Edie bag again to put my latest book inside.

I thought the clay necklace would look good with this outfit, with the blue and black being similar to the blue bag, and tee and knitted poncho, but I think maybe a different necklace might have worked better with this, maybe something longer. Still, a good outfit for a quiet day.

Printed Tees, Dusters, Skinny Jeans and Converse

Warmer spring weather in Brisbane means I'm wearing more of my lighter layers more often, like both of these neutral duster cardigans. Wearing them with black skinny jeans, printed tees, colourful Rebecca Minkoff bags and Converse.


What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Earrings: Colette Sangria sunset disc stud tassel earrings
Necklace: layered silver necklaces
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Very colourful outfit for working from home, with the school run and a couple of errands in the afternoon. Jeans and a tee is a staple for me on working from home days, and I felt it had been a while since I wore this Sass and Bide neon orange leopard print tee so it was good to get it out again. The neon orange tee and the matching earrings added some colour to the grey cocoon duster cardigan and black skinny jeans, and then I added more colour with the little yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I like the combination of yellow and orange together.

Had the comfortable Converse for a little bit of running around with the errands and the school run, and the neutral brown was a good choice for this outfit.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, neon leopard tee, neon earrings, zip detail skinny jeans, brown Converse, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip.

Other ways to weargrey cocoon cardigan and skirt, neon leopard tee and shorts, zip detail skinny jeans and knit jumper, brown Converse and maxi skirt, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip and dress.






What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted TEMT long black duster cardigan (new purchase)
Necklace: silver knot necklace
Teethrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint


Why I wore it:

This outfit is a similar formula to the last one above, but a lot darker with the black duster, black skinny jeans, and matching black Converse. The printed Cocoa-Cola logo tee adds a little extra colour with the red logo print, but I still felt this outfit was a bit dull so I added this neon pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC I redyed myself. It was the perfect pop.

I needed something comfortable so that's why I went with jeans and a tee and Converse again. The boys sports club had an outdoor fundraising event in the evening, but during the day I went down to set up. I didn't need this duster during the day, it warmed up nicely, and I thought it would keep me warmer in the evening as well, although by 9pm I was wishing I'd picked something a bit cosier to wear! It was a good night though, and this was nice and comfortable for helping with the setup and practical for attending the event later in the evening - just a shame it wasn't a little warmer. Not bad for the first wear of this black duster I picked up at the opshop though.


Last worn: Coca-Cola logo tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the duster as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearCoca-Cola logo tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and trench coatblack Converse and dress, redyed pink Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with florals.

Yellow Tees, Black and White Cardigans and Grey Jeans With Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Adding some colour to jeans and tee outfits lately with two yellow tees. The tees really brighten up these grey jeans, black and white knit outfits for winter working from home days.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: handmade yellow and white polymer clay beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This Rebecca Minkoff knitted poncho has been a cosy staple over winter, perfect for early morning school runs and for staying warm at my desk when working from home. With the grey jeans, black and white knit ruana and black and white Adidas Superstar sneakers, this was a very neutral outfit. The yellow tee was the perfect pop of colour to lighten it. I went a little matchy-matchy with the necklace too, this one I made recently compliments the tee nicely although it's not an exact shade match with the mango yellow tee.

Carried my big Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag to hold all my essentials plus my latest library read as I had a couple of errands to run after picking up the kids from school in the afternoon, as well as a trip to the library, and wanted a book to read while I was waiting for the kids to pick out the new books they wanted to borrow.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, handmade necklace, mango yellow tee, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff ruana with pink, mango yellow tee and skirtgrey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and skirt.






What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted grey and white beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another very similar jeans and tee outfit, following the same basic outfit formula with different pieces. Again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, I usually don't carry much on my work from home days but I had a physio appointment during the day and an appointment at the vets in the evening so I wanted to bring along my latest library read to entertain me while I waited for those appointments. Like the outfit above, I paired grey jeans with my Adidas Superstar sneakers, these Nobody Denim jeans are very comfortable. I went with a lighter pastel yellow tee this time, and again a black and white knit with this thrifted leopard print cardigan. Like the thicker chunky knit above, it's nice and cosy on cooler days, and was an easy layer to shed at physio.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded necklace, pastel yellow tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and skirt, pastel yellow tee and shorts, Nobody Denim jeans and blouse, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and shorts.

Anko Denim Trench Coat With Black Blouses and Colourful Jeans

Adding a little colour to winter black blouse office outfits with colourful jeans, and combatting the cold winter commute with this Anko oversized denim trench coat.


What I wore:






JacketKmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Necklace: handmade yellow and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Blouse: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

I wore this as I needed a nice easy outfit for a day full of meetings at my desk. The black blouse is a lovely recent opshop find. It's got a bit of texture and these amazing blouson sleeves. The denim trench unfortunately covers the sleeves up, but the oversized style meant it accommodated the big sleeves nicely. With the black Converse matching the black blouse, and the neutral olive skinny jeans, I wanted to add a little pop of colour to this. This polymer clay necklace I recently made was perfect. I liked the burst of yellow against the black.

The Chloe Periwinkle Paraty bag was another little bit of matching, as it's similar to the blue denim wash on the trench coat.


Last worn: Anko denim trench coat, Seed Heritage black blouse, handmade necklace, olive green jeans, black Converse, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit formula above, so repeated it again with another black blouse, this one also an opshop find, and another pair of colourful jeans. I haven't worn these red ones in a while, although they have been worn a lot in the past and I've achieved over 30 wears with them. it was good to get them out again for another office day.

I kept things simple, again matching the black blouse to the black Converse, and again wore the same oversized denim trench coat. I even wore another blue bag this time too, this Rebecca Minkoff deep teal croc embossed Love Too bag.

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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagPolene 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 weargraphic 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.

What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
EarringsMIMCO 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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagMIMCO 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.

Leopard Print Cardigans, Pink Tees and Jeans

Two similar outfits, with thrifted leopard print cardigans, pink tees, black skinny jeans and Converse for some recent working from home days.


What I wore:



Jacket: thrifted Dotti leopard print long cardigan (new purchase)
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: handmade purple polymer clay beaded necklace
TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

First time I've worn this cardigan on the blog. it was a very lucky opshop find! I'm always on the hunt for cute cardigans and I've been really lucky recently with finding them! This one is a nice addition to my wardrobe, and I like pink and leopard print together so this ombre pink tee seemed like an obvious choice. I went matchy-matchy with the pink Converse, although it's a different shade of pink from the tee I liked the two pinks together, and I added the purple necklace for a little more colour.

Nice casual outfit for a vet appointment, the school run, and working from home.


Last worn: pearl earringsombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the cardigan as it's a recent opshop purchase, and first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: ombre pink tee and shorts, black skinny jeans and graphic tee, pink Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and skirt.






What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I repeated the formula again with different pieces. I wore black Converse this time, matching the black skinny jeans and the black background on this black and white leopard print cardigan. like the cardigan in the first outfit, this was also an opshop find! It's nice to have some printed cardigans to add a little extra interest to block colour tees like this pink one in winter. Again I went with a darker bag, this Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. I was working from home, did the school run, and also had a physio appointment, so this Cupid bag was perfect for fitting all my essentials plus my latest library read.

Black Cardigans, Striped Tees, Black Jeans and Converse

Two simple striped tee and black skinny jeans outfits with black cardigans, for winter working from home days with the school run and physio appointments.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Teethrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet


Why I wore it:

Felt like it was time to get this bag out again! I thrifted it a while back, and bought the metallic chain strap on ebay separately so I could wear it crossbody. It's very smooshy and much bigger than you'd think in photos! It fit all my essentials plus my latest library book, so I could read while waiting at the physio appointment and then later at the vet appointment.

Jeans and tee will always be a working from home staple for me in the cooler weather, especially when paired with a cosy cardigan like this black cocoon one. Like the tee, jeans and bag, the cardigan was an opshop find too, so this is an almost entirely thrifted outfit!


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola stripe logo tee, black skinny jeans, black Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag.

What I wore:

ScarfThe Quintessential Cambridge Willow green floral snood
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
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 colder day than the one above so I pulled out this thicker knit cardigan, it's an old one I've had in my wardrobe for years, since my uni days even! I don't wear it a lot over winter, just on very cold days, so it's stuck around for such a long time!

With the black jeans long black belted cardigan and the navy and white striped tee I felt this neutral outfit needed a little extra colour. The brown Converse were an attempt to be matchy-matchy with the Chloe Ethel bag, even though the shades of brown are slightly different.

I added this green printed snood (infinity scarf) for a little extra colour as well, although I ended up taking it off after the school run as I was warm enough in the black cardigan.


Last worn: black belted cardigan, navy and white striped tee, green snood, black skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wearblack belted cardigan and dress, navy and white striped tee shorts, green snood, black skinny jeans and blazer, brown Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and skirt.

Green Jeans, Striped Tees And Cocoon Cardigans

On some warmer winter days recently I just needed these light cocoon cardigans over my jeans and striped tee outfits.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a few errands to run and it was quite a sunny morning, so I just added this lightweight cocoon cardigan. The cardigan was an opshop find, one I'm always glad I picked up. I was hoping for good opshopping luck as I had a few bags of donations to drop off that morning. Of course I walked away with a few opshop scores for myself too after dropping things off and having 'just a little browse'.

I like the simplicity of this outfit - the teal jeans are a good pair with the navy and white striped tee, and the white Converse was a little bit of matchy-matchy with that. Nothing else matched, with the navy stripes in the tee and the black knit cardigan and tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag, but I liked how all the neutrals looked together.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy and white striped tee, mixed metal necklace, teal jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mossimo black and white striped v-neck tee (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

I don't normally wear a lot of neutral outfits, but here's a second neutral outfit in a row, with a black and white striped tee and olive jeans with the black Converse and the grey duster cocoon cardigan. The cardigan and the striped tee are both opshop finds.

Although I usually like adding a little extra colour to my outfits with accessories I decided to stick with the neutrals with this one. The black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag goes with everything and I really liked the neutral beaded necklace against the black stripe tee.

As you can see from my post of the 30 ways to wear these olive jeans, I wear them with black a lot, but this is the first time I've worn this particular tee with them as it's a recent opshop find. I really liked the combination, good for another quiet weekend day with a few errands to complete.
