Striped Tees, Maxi Skirts and Leather Jacket With Chloe Bags

Two maxi skirts and stripe tee outfits, layered up for Brisbane's winter with my Jeanswest black leather jacket. Nice and cosy for some working from home days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade yellow and white polymer clay beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Mossimo black and white striped v-neck tee 
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I really like the yellow beaded necklace worn with this ochre maxi skirt! I like the colour it added to this darker outfit, with the black leather jacket and the black and white striped tee. I added a little more lightness with the Chloe Ethel bag too, I needed a big bag despite working from home, as I carried a book for an appointment in the morning, after the school run.

It's not the first time I've worn this orange maxi skirt with a striped tee, I like the combination. So much so that I repeated it again a week or so later.


Last worn: Jeanswest leather jacket, gum leaf earrings, black striped tee, orange maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and dress, black striped tee and jeans, orange maxi skirt and jumper, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, Chloe Ethel bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another working from home day, in another stripe tee and maxi skirt outfit. With the black Jeanswest leather jacket again, this time matching with the black maxi skirt. Like the maxi skirt above, this one was an opshop find and I really enjoy wearing it! I wore the comfortable Converse as I had a bit of running around to do with the school run in the morning and afternoon. I thought that this rust striped tee was due another wear, and I like the little touch of colour with all the black.

The wine purple Chloe Paraty bag isn't a match with the rust stripes on the tee, but I thought the colours looked nice together, especially with all the black in-between.


Last worn: Jeanswest leather jacket (above), blue beaded necklace, rust stripe tee, black maxi skirt, brown Converse, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: Jeanswest leather jacket and dress, rust stripe tee and blazer, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, brown Converse and jeans, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and dress.

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
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse 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.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan with pink, Coca-Cola stripe logo tee, black skinny jeans and animal print, black Converse and dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan
Scarf: The Quintessential Cambridge Willow green floral snood
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
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 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 wear: black 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.

Perfect for pregnancy: cardigan in first trimester.

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
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca 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.

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and pink jeans, navy and white striped tee and shorts, teal jeans and blouse, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse 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
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO 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.

Last worn: grey duster cardigan, neutral beaded necklace, olive jeans, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: grey duster cardigan and skirt, olive jeans worn 30 ways, black Converse and maxi skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester

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
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe 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 wear: grey 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
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Chloe 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.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, white leather Converse and shorts, purple Chloe Paraty bag and dress.

Striped Tees And Skinny Jeans To Work From Home

More autumn weather means more jeans! An old favourite pair and a newer pair I got for Christmas, both with striped tees.

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans (Christmas present)
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn this Coca-Cola logo striped tee, an opshop find quite a while ago. It was the perfect pairing with these teal skinny jeans. I got the jeans for Christmas from our pre-Christmas opshopping day, and I have been waiting for the perfect weather to wear them! A rainy day after the cyclone, with working from home and the kids being back at school, was a great time to get them out. They are very comfortable!

I liked the little pop of red from the logo in the tee with the teal jeans, but I kept the rest of the outfit simple with no other accessories and just my little blue mini MAC bag.


Last worn: striped tee, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the jeans as I got them for Christmas.

Other ways to wear: striped tee and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

Repeating the striped tee and skinny jeans combination again as I enjoyed it in the outfit above! It was another working from home day for me. Although the majority of the post-cyclone Alfred flooding had gone down I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to make it all the way to the office, so I worked from home. Thankfully we hadn't lost power so while I was working the kids were able to enjoy playing computer games, as their school was unfortunately damaged by the cyclone and it took a little longer to be made safe and opened back up to students.

Just like the first outfit, I found this really comfortable, although there was no school run this time I did get out to walk the dogs and continue to check on people in the neighbourhood I saw after the wild weather. We were really lucky to have no damage.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, rust striped tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: rust striped tee and shorts, zip detail skinny jeans and graphic tee, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn 30 ways.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans And Colourful Blazers With Balenciaga Bags

Adding some colour and a little more formality to casual striped tee and jeans outfit for the office with these bold and colourful blazers. Both blazers are preloved finds and  they are great additions to my work wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

I've been enjoying wearing oranges and reds together. It's a very autumnal colour scheme, but this combination of the burgundy striped tee and the orange blazer was so subtle it felt like it worked well for spring. The faded black skinny jeans and the white Converse were a comfortable choice and nice neutrals, so I added a little extra colour with the Balenciaga first bag, which really pops against the orange blazer. The turquoise tassel necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with it too.

It was a quiet, mostly sitting at my desk day, so jeans and a tee was perfect for my relaxed office. I did forget to throw the blazer back on for a meeting I had, but the meeting room was quite warm so it was better I didn't have that extra layer!


Last worn: orange blazer, burgundy stripe tee, turquoise tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, white leather Converse, bag strap, Balenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and skirt, burgundy stripe tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and leather jacket, white leather Converse and dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Another outfit following the same formula, showing how fun a bright blazer is even over a simple jeans and tee outfit. Again I went with a striped tee and black skinny jeans. The blue blazer, blue beaded necklace and blue Converse sneakers are all different shades but they work so well together. I can never have too many shades of blue in an outfit!

With all the black and blue, I added another bright Balenciaga bag. Like in the outfit above, I like the bright combination of the contrasting bag and blazer. And the magenta Balenciaga day bag was definitely overdue another wear, it's been a while since I last wore it!


Last worn: cobalt blue blazer, striped tee, beaded necklace, Nobody denim jeans, blue Converse, magenta Balenciaga day bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blue blazer and dress, striped tee and shorts, Nobody denim jeans and cardigan, blue Converse and dress, magenta Balenciaga day bag worn 30 ways.

Striped Tops, Jeans and Blazers With Blanket Scarves and Mimco Crossbody Bag

Adding some cosy blanket scarves for the cold winter commute to the office recently! Both of these blazer and jeans outfits have striped tops as well as the colourful scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Tee: Atmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

A cold and foggy morning had me reaching for jeans and this Louis Vuitton shawl that is one of the cosiest blanket scarves I own. I like the bright cobalt blue pop of colour it adds to the black blazer and black jeans outfit. The blue goes so well with the red stripes on my long sleeved top as well. Kept me nice and warm on the cooler commute to the office.

With the black blazer and black jeans I reached for more black and wore my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag again.


Last worn: black blazer, Louis Vuitton shawl, burgundy stripe tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, leather Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, burgundy stripe tee and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and cardigan, leather Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag with pink and purple.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest grey jersey blazer
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf in Island pine-print
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Similar outfit combination to the one above, but much more colourful! I went with my burgundy jeans that hadn't been worn in a while and were overdue another wear.

The grey blazer is lighter than the black one above, and the colourful mixed print scarf helped brighten up the outfit more too. Even if, unlike the day I wore the outfit above, this ended up being a very warm day and I'd shed the scarf by the afternoon on my way home from the office.

Again I wore the little black Mimco crossbody bag. It looks just as good with this more colourful outfit as it does with the matching black clothes in the outfit above.


Last worn: grey blazer, fern print scarf, striped tee, burgundy jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: grey blazer and skirt, fern print scarf and dress, striped tee and shorts, burgundy jeans and peplum top, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and cardigan.

Striped Tees, Jeans and Colourful Cardigans

Adding cosy, colourful layers to these striped tee and skinny jeans outfits with some bright waterfall cardigans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

I feel I'm defaulting to jeans and a tee a lot this winter, it's such an easy outfit option for those school run and working from home days, nice and comfortable. As it was a particularly colder winter morning I layered up in this thick red waterfall cardigan. I love how bright and colourful it is, although I was surprised to see I hadn't worn it with this Coca-Cola log tee before, the matchy-matchy red seems like one of the first things I would have worn with this cardifan!

Although the stripes on the tee are navy I wore all black in the rest of my outfit, with the black skinny jeans, black Converse and black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. All I needed to carry was the essentials for the school run so this little crossbody bag was perfect.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and printed jeans, Coca-Cola logo tee and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag with pink.

Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Extremely similar outfit to the one above, for another day of working from home and only getting out in the morning and afternoon for school drop off and pick up. While this magenta purple waterfall cardigan isn't as thick as the one above, it was perfectly warm enough for this day. I liked the colour the purple knit added to the navy stripe tee and grey jeans too.

I did add a little more colour to this outfit with the tassel necklace, a fun opshop find. And again I wore the same accessories with the black converse and Mimco crossbody bag.

Last worn: magenta cardigan, navy stripe tee, tassel necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse (above), Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Red Denim, Stripes, Sneakers and Black Bags

Two different red denim outfits for spring in Brisbane - with the slightly varying temperatures, the first one is simply shorts and a tee and the second one I needed the warmth of jeans and an extra layer. Both feature stripes with the red denim, because stripes and denim always work so well together no matter the colour of the denim!

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Shorts: thrifted red denim shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a regular work from home day, with a physio session at lunch time. As it was such a warm day, shorts and a tee were all I needed. I thought these thrifted red shorts would work well with the also thrifted Coca-Cola logo tee. Even if the shades of red are slightly different, they were close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy.

It was the school holidays so didn't even have to do the school run - and hubby had the kids out most of the day so I had a really productive day. Shorts and a tee was just perfect for working from home and not having to worry about changing my outfit for physio.


Last worn: Coca-Cola tee, red denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: Coca-Cola tee and skirt, red denim shorts and plain tee, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I was working from home in the morning, and had a couple of appointments in the afternoon after picking up the kids from school. I knew I'd need a confidence boosting pop of colour, so these red jeans paired with the colourful beaded necklace were perfect! I kept the rest of the outfit neutral, with the silver tank, black and white striped cardigan and my big black Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Taking the kids to the doctors after school pick up requires a lot of books and snacks, the big tote bag was definitely needed!

Last worn: striped cardigan, colourful beaded necklace, metallic tank, red jeans, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: striped cardigan and skirt, metallic tank and shorts, red jeans worn 30 ways, Sketchers sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.
