Two Ways To Wear Blue Leaf Print Maxi Wrap Skirt

I recently picked up this beautiful blue leaf print warp skirt at the opshop, for just $1! While it's winter in Brisbane I was eager to wear it as soon as possible. I set myself a goal of wearing everything I wear twice in the month I buy it, and luckily I was able to layer up this skirt to wear it twice this winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: thrifted Country Road grey crew neck tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt (new purchase)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This grey tee is also an opshop find! I knew with this colourful printed wrap skirt a plain grey tee would make a great neutral pairing with it. I added the cobalt leather jacket for extra warmth for the school run, especially in the morning. I really liked this first wear of this skirt, it is definitely something better suited for warmer weather though!

With the blue Converse and blue necklace, blue leather jacket and blue printed wrap skirt this outfit really needed another colour so I added the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag for that. I like purple and blue together, and as I didn't have to carry much this was a good bag choice to hold the essentials.

Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, stud earrings, blue necklace, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac. First time I've worn the wrap skirt and the grey tee as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket worn 30 ways, blue Converse and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag in lilac and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: handmade pink and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry
Skirt: thrifted Gypsy Mermaid blue tulip hem wrap skirt
Shoes: Acne pistol boots in 'skin'
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

I layered up this skirt a little more the next time I wore it, with this cosy berry seam detail knit. The jumper is also another recent wardrobe addition, although one I bought new from the store. While I liked the lilac Polene Numero Neuf bag with the first outfit, I liked the brighter pinks with this blue skirt too! I added lots of shades of pink, with the berry pink of the knit, pastel and bright pink in my handmade beaded necklace, and bolder pink in the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. To make sure I kept warm I added the leather jacket, and then these Acne Pistol boots that have been sitting in my wardrobe for far too long and were definitely overdue another wear. It was a great outfit for church, although I did shed the denim jacket when the sun came out later in the morning and it warmed up.


Last worn: denim jacket, statement earrings, berry seam detail knit, Acne pistol boots, blue wrap skirt (above), pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. First time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, berry seam detail knit worn 2 ways, Acne pistol boots and dress, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Acne pistol boots in third trimester

Two Ways To Wear Kmart Berry Pink Seam Detail Knit Jumper

This Kmart berry seam detail knit jumper is the only new (not pre-loved) piece I bought last month. I saw it on sale in store near the checkouts and couldn't resist picking it up. I'm such an impulse shopper sometimes! I've enjoyed wearing it so far, it's nice and cosy for Brisbane's winter days.

In both of these outfits, I've worn the pink jumper to the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
Knit: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

This leather moto jacket was an amazing preloved find at the fashion markets a while back and I love it in winter, it's got really spacious sleeves so it's easy to layer a knit jumper like this underneath it.

With the cosy jumper on top and the leather jacket, I decided to wear this pretty maxi skirt. It is light and one I wear in summer as well, but with the cosy top layers I wasn't too cold in the early morning commute to work. I wore pink Converse although the shades of pink are different from the knit, I thought a little extra colour was needed with all the black.

I wore the Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC for a touch more colour as well, I liked how well it matched this new beaded necklace I made.

Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, silver hoop earrings, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it, and knit as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and dress, black maxi skirt and blazer, pink Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC and shorts.

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

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

For another office day, I again wore this berry pink seam detail jumper with a skirt. A pencil skirt this time, and I went with purple accessories. I really like pink and purple together. Although the purple resin floral statement earrings and the plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote are different shades of purple, I thought they were far enough apart that they worked well together in this outfit with the pink jumper.

I wore this navy suede jacket to match the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt, and of course I needed some fleece lined tights for the cold commute, even with ankle boots I needed my legs covered up! Just like above, I really liked this outfit, it was another good way to wear this berry jumper.


Last worn: navy suede moto jacket, purple resin flower earrings, berry seam detail knit jumper (above), navy jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy suede moto jacket and dress, navy jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.

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.

Kisschasy Band Tees, Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Converse

Wore two of my Kisschasy band tees recently with maxi skirts, denim jackets and Converse.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy Hymns for the Nonbeliever 2025 tour band tee (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a warmer winter day so I wore this denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up. It was the perfect layer over this Kisschasy band tee and red tiered maxi skirt. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag as I needed a large bag for all the essentials and a water bottle as well as my camera, as the kids were competing in sports and I went along to support them. I had a couple of errands to run as well, including taking the dogs for a bath and clip. This was a really comfortable outfit for that.

I liked how the coral red of the tiered maxi skirt tied in with the red text and graphic on the band tee. It was a nice matchy-matchy outfit for the first wearing of this tee.


Last worn: denim jacket, gold earrings, tiered maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, tiered maxi skirt and leather jacket, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another little more subtle matchy-matchy, with the red dinosaur skeleton earrings to match the red in the graphic print on this Kisschasy band tee. I wasn't too sure about wearing this bold graphic print tee with the pinstripe maxi skirt, but I'm glad I gave it a go as I ended up really liking this pattern mix.

I think the pinstripe is delicate and fine enough it doesn't give too much of a pattern clash, and the denim jacket was a good topper too. This was a bit of a cooler day, but I didn't have to be outside long as I had school drop off and then working from home for the rest of the day, and then school pickup. As I only needed the essentials I just wore this little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.


Last worn: dinosaur earrings, denim jacket, Kisschasy band tee, pinstripe maxi skirt, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, Kisschasy band tee and jeans, pinstripe maxi skirt and leather jacket, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Maxi Skirts, Grey Tees and Denim Jackets

Maxi skirts, grey tees and denim jackets with my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag for some work from home days with the school run and a few errands.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I got this red printed maxi skirt out! An opshop find from years ago, I hit 30 wears with it pretty quickly and since then often pass it up in favour of those I haven't gotten so many wears with. It was definitely overdue another wear, and good to get it out to ass some colour to this dark grey tee.

It was nice and comfortable for working from home too, and the statement necklace I felt dressed up the grey tee a little for video calls. I added the denim jacket for the morning dog walk, and also needed it for the school run. I had to pick my son up early from school to take him to an appointment in the city. The Converse were good for all that driving, and my Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag fits the essentials plus my latest small library read for sitting in the waiting room.


Last worn: denim jacket, wooden statement necklace, grey tee, red printed maxi skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and orange skirt, grey tee and shorts, red printed maxi skirt worn 30 ways, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: vintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue

Why I wore it:

Another grey tee and maxi skirt outfit for working from home, with the same denim jacket and Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag. Did swap out my black Converse for some pink ones though for the school run and a quick errand in the afternoon.

When I put this outfit together I felt it was a bit pink. With the pink Converse, the pink floral print in the skirt, and the pink back panel on this tee, I went with a blue beaded necklace to try bring some blue into this outfit. It's so funny as looking at the photos I definitely feel it's more a blue than a pink outfit! The pink panel on the back of the tee is hidden, but even so I thought a pink bag with this would have been too much so I went with the blue 5-zip again. It's funny sometimes how different outfits seem when I'm wearing them compared to the photographs I take of them! Either way, I liked this outfit, I was just surprised I remembered it being so pink heavy when it's clearly not in the photo!


Last worn: denim jacket (above), grey tee, blue beaded necklace, floral print maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and plain skirt, grey tee and shorts, floral print maxi skirt and winter knit, pink Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and dress.

Dolman Sleeve Blouses, Pencil Skirts and Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Once again I'm posting these two dolman sleeved blouses together in a post! They are perfect for office days, and this time around I've worn them with pencil skirts, trying to get another couple of wears in with these tops before winter weather arrives and makes them too tricky to wear. They aren't the easiest to layer over!

What I wore:

Earrings: MIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
Blouse:  thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
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:

I find I wear this pencil skirt with a lot of black tops! I really like the matchy-matchy of the black polka dots on the mesh paired with a black top, and then I had to go even further by wearing the black Converse Chucks and the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I really liked the silver chain hardware with the statement silver necklace.

Both the necklace and top are recent opshop finds and they look so good together! The only downside to this outfit was that I couldn't really layer my cardigan over the sleeves in the office when I got a little chilly. But over-active aircon vent I was sitting under aside, I liked this outfit. Perfect for a day full of meetings.


Last worn: stud earrings, hammered silver necklace, dolman sleeve blouse, polka dot pencil skirt, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: dolman sleeve blouse and jeans, polka dot pencil skirt and tee, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: polka dot pencil skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit combination above so much I wore a very similar one again! This textured pencil skirt is a navy jacquard one that I feel gets quite a lot of wear, so like the pink polka dot one I'm always surprised I haven't hit 30 wears with it yet. Again I copied the matchy-matchy accessories with the black Converse and black Stella McCartney Falabella bag, and silver accessories again to match the chain detail on the tote.

Thankfully it was a little warmer in the office this time as I wasn't sitting near the over-active aircon vent, so I had no issues with this outfit. I enjoyed wearing it.

Last worn: silver hoop earrings, silver circle necklace, black batwing blouse, navy jacquard pencil skirt, black Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black batwing blouse and jeans, navy jacquard pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Maxi Skirts, Denim Jackets and Chloe Bags

Two plain tee and maxi skirt outfits, topped with denim jackets and accessorised with Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for working from home, with sports for the kids in the evenings. I like wearing maxi skirts as it is an extra cover on my legs from the inevitable mossie attack - no matter how much bug spray I cover myself in, ha!

This copper toned tee is really autumnal with the ochre orange maxi skirt. I like wearing this skirt with rust and red and burgundy shades, so I really loved this outfit. Especially with the brown Converse, gold statement necklace and the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag. It all felt perfect for a cooler autumn day.

Surprisingly it's the first time I've shared this denim jacket on the blog, a Christmas gift from the annual pre-Christmas opshopping day. It's a nice relaxed fit and will be perfect for layering under when the winter weather arrives here shortly in Brisbane.


Last worn: clay earrings, copper tee, circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it was a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: copper tee and skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, brown Converse and animal print, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a mixed day, with the Anzac parade and ceremony in the morning (my boys were marching in the parade) and then a playdate for my son in the afternoon. Despite the rainy weather it wasn't too cold so I went for this maxi skirt to be neither over or underdressed for either occasion. I like the tie dye print on the skirt, although it's the first time I've worn this grey tee with it! I like pairing it with greys and neutrals so it was nice to give this combination a try.

I went with my Chloe Marcie bag to store all our water bottles plus the essentials, and then I chose this rose gold necklace. It's definitely not the true gold shade of the hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, but I like pairing different metals together, and thought this was a good accessory pair.


Last worn: stud earrings, denim jacket, rose gold necklace, grey tee, tie dye maxi skirt, blue Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, grey tee and jeans, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, blue Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

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
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca 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 wear: cobalt 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 pregnancy: pencil 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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe 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.

Last worn: orange blazer, heart stud earrings, foil bead necklace, olive cami, faded black jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, olive cami and skirt, faded black jeans and leather jacket, brown Converse with black and white, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

Pink and Grey Skirt Outfits With Thrifted Camis

Wearing some of my recent opshop finds with old favourites for these autumn skirt outfits. Both feature grey and pink, and an extra layer over the top to combat the autumn chill.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Polly kimono in dusty pink
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

These hammered silver circle earrings have been getting a bit of wear since I thrifted them! Just like last time I wore them when I went matchy-matchy, I tried it again picking this silver circle necklace to wear. I really liked the earrings and necklace together! And another wearing of this terrazzo print tank that I thrifted at the same time, and recently wore to the office.

For this casual outfit I wore it with a distressed grey Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse and then my pink cover up, to compliment the pastel pink in the terrazzo print. Although it's not an exact match I liked the extra shades of pink with this, and added the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little more colour.

There was a bit of driving around on this day, although I was working from home, as we started the morning picking up a dog we were dogsitting, then I had to drop the kids off at vacation care before heading home for working from home, before collecting the kids in the afternoon. Busy day!

Last worn: pink cover up, silver circle earrings, silver circle necklace, terrazzo print tank, Nobody Denim skirt, pink Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pink cover up and dress, terrazzo print tank and blazer, Nobody Denim skirt and graphic tee, pink Converse and maxi skirt, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami (new purchase)
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Cotton On silver beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Finally got to wear this long grey cocoon cardigan I got from our annual pre-Christmas opshopping trip. I was so excited to get it, and it's been a while before it was finally cool enough to give it a wear. I love a cocoon style cardigan and I like the longer length on this one too. I wore it with the new Converse mum bought me recently. They had a sale on so I ended up with two new pairs! With the brown in the leopard print skirt the Converse were a nice match, and I took the opportunity to wear this newly thrifted pale olive cami for the first time. 

I felt with the grey cardigan keeping me cosy, and the neutral browns and olive of the top and skirt and shoes, this outfit needed a little more interest. The statement multi chain necklace wasn't enough so I added a pink bag, my Balenciaga sorbet city bag that was overdue another wear. I like how it brightened up this outfit. It was perfect for another day of working from home, with drop off and pickup for the kids at vacation care.


Last worn: silver circle earrings (above), necklace, leopard print skirt, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag. First time I've worn the cardigan as it was a Christmas present, Converse as they were a recent gift, and the olive cami as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and denim jacket, Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga sorbet pink city bag in second trimester.
