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.

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.

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)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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 wearstriped tee and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and dress.






What I wore:






Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

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
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagBalenciaga 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 strapBalenciaga first bag.

Other ways to wearorange 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:

Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga 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.

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:



Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
TeeAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO 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.

TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO 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).

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
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO 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 wearred 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.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagMIMCO 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.

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
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted 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 wearCoca-Cola tee and skirt, red denim shorts and plain tee, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.





What I wore:




JacketKmart 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
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
BagRebecca 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!

Magnificent 8 In Maxi Skirts And Dresses

This quarter's Magnificent 8 themed post is maxi skirts and dresses, which I have no shortage of in my wardrobe! Despite it being winter here in Brisbane, I still get my maxi skirts out now and then. While they are worn most often in the warmer weather, I can easily layer them up for our snow free winters.


What I wore:


Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
TeeAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I did actually wear this back in June, when it was a little warmer as it was just the first month of winter. I really like this lightweight maxi skirt on hot days, but in cooler weather it needs a few more layers. Ankle boots were a must! With the gorgeous ochre shade of the skirt, I've enjoyed wearing different colours of burgundy with it lately, so this white and burgundy striped long sleeved tee was the perfect accompaniment with it, and the denim jacket was a good layer. I definitely needed the jacket for the cooler weather of the school run, but in the afternoon when we had an appointment after school, I was able to go without the jacket and still be warm enough.

It had been a while since I'd worn this cute turquoise Balenciaga first bag, so I got it out again. I love how it looks with the orange skirt, and with only the school run, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon, I didn't need to carry much so this was a great size.

My Balenciaga Handbag Collection






What I wore:


Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfJeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Why I wore it:

This was a much colder day than the one above, so warmer layers were needed! Instead of ankle boots, I went with Converse under my maxi skirt, as I had a little break during my work from home day to go cheer my son on in his sporting event. Needed comfortable shoes for a lot of standing around. With the navy tee, grey striped maxi skirt, and the black leather jacket, this outfit was cosy, but a bit dull for cheering on my son. I added the mustard scarf, as yellow and blue always look so good together and I thought it would help my son spot me in the crowd! It worked well for that.

Unlike the outfit above, I went with a classic black bag this time, my Balenciaga part time bag with giant silver hardware. I had my camera as well as a water bottle. It was quite a windy day so I appreciated the thick leather jacket keeping me warm as I stood on the side lines. And when I went back to working from home, the jersey maxi skirt and navy tee were such a comfortable outfit.


Last worn: leather jacket, navy frill sleeve tee, mustard scarf, pinstripe maxi skirt, black Converse, Balenciaga part time bag.

Cardigans, Converse and Colourful Jeans With Striped Tees And Yellow Bags

Proper autumn weather in Brisbane meant getting out my knits and jeans! I have quite a collection of colourful jeans, and I like them as an alternative to the traditional blue denim. While both of these outfits are very different colours, I like the fun yellow bags with both.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! While there was the usual routine of the school run and working from home for me, we had a few errands to run in the afternoon, and we had a big makeover of the stick insect enclosures at home that evening. That was the only time I regretted wearing this cute grey cardigan, as the ties on it kept getting tangled up in the branches and leaves! It was just the perfect light weight for the rest of the day, just got a bit messy at home that evening!

I think this is the first time I've tried the trio of orange and pink and yellow together. I really like yellow and pink together, the mustard bag looks so good with the magenta jeans. I thought the orange striped tee would be a fun touch with the magenta, but you really don't notice it too much. It made this colourful trio a lot more easy to wear, it didn't feel too bold!


Last worn: grey wrap cardigan, orange stripe tee, marble necklace, magenta Sass and Bide jeans, white Converse, mustard micro Regan bag.

Ways to Wear Colourful Bags:





What I wore:


green jeans with  Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip  | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

I needed this cosy black cocoon cardigan in the morning, but later in the day it had warmed up enough that I didn't need it! I left it in the car when I took a little break from working from home to go see my son get an award at school in the afternoon. While the green jeans and the yellow bag are quite a bright combination, the navy striped tee was a good neutral. 

Looking at the photos though, I probably should have tried tucking this tee in. These jeans are low waisted so I don't do that too often, and with the long cardigan I thought the tee untucked would work better, but if I wore this again I'd definitely tuck in the tee at the front.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy Coca-Cola tee, green skinny jeans, black Converse, yellow mini 5-zip bag.
