Blazers and Jeans With Striped Tees and Mini 5 Zip Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Wearing a favourite Spring outfit combination again! Topping my skinny jeans and tee outfits with colourful blazers, and my adorable little Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This blush blazer is such a nice shade of pink, it added a nice touch of colour to the monochromatic black and white striped tee and faded black skinny jeans outfit. I still felt the outfit was lacking some colour though, so I tried adding a brighter pop with this deeper pink mini 5-zip bag, and I really loved it against the blush blazer!

This was a nice comfortable jeans and tee outfit for what has become a regular day - the school run and working from home. I like how the blazer dressed up the jeans and tee a little.

Last worn: blush blazer, beaded necklace, stripe tee, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer worn 2 ways, stripe tee and shorts, faded black jeans and denim jacket, Adidas Superstar and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink iris Mini 5 Zip and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: blush blazer in third trimester.

What Fits Inside Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-Zip Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 

Why I wore it:

While this is a very monochromatic base outfit, with the white and grey striped tee and the grey skinny jeans and white Converse, I felt this was a very colourful outfit just because of the bag and blazer. Orange and yellow together really packs a punch! Without the bright orange blazer this outfit felt a little plain, the blazer and bag lifted it perfectly I think.

I love yellow and grey together so this bag was the best choice for that alone. I also really like orange and yellow, although I haven't worn it too many times, so this outfit was a nice way to try that combination again.

A bright and cheerful outfit, for again working from home and doing the school run. We also had an appointment for my son after school. Unfortunately my latest library book read doesn't fit in this little mini 5-zip bag, but although we got there a little early, we were actually called in as soon as we sat down to wait, so I hadn't even needed a book anyway!


Last worn: orange blazer, grey striped tee, stone pendant necklace, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-Zip bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and pencil skirt, grey striped tee and vest, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-Zip bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey striped tee in second trimester, Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

How You Can Wear It:

Adding a blazer over a jeans and tee outfit is a nice way to add a little extra warmth to your outfit on a spring day. It helps your outfit feel a bit more polished and pulled together too, and can be a good way to add more colour.

Navy Stripe Outfits and Olive Mini Darren Crossbody Bag

Wearing my recently purchased Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag again, with some navy striped outfits. I really like the way the little olive bag looks with navy!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

I figured I'd give this mustard cardigan another wear for spring before it warmed up too much. Ended up taking it off at school pick up in the afternoon, as it turned into a really nice day. Did love the pop of colour it added to the navy stripe tee and black skinny jeans in the morning on the school run though! I like how the little olive micro Darren bag looks against the mustard too. Wasn't sure what necklace would work with this outfit so picked my classic turquoise tassel one - turquoise goes with everything!

After dropping the kids off at school I had a couple of errands to run before working from home. Then after picking the kids up I took the little one to an appointment and we drove down the coast to see my parents for a bit before heading home for dinner. Despite being a little too warm in the cardigan in the afternoon for school pickup, I did really like this comfortable jeans and tee outfit for all the running around.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise tassel necklace, navy stripe tee, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff olive micro Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and printed jeans, navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and knitted poncho, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff olive micro Darren bag and neutral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester, black Converse in third trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Bag Reveal From The Real Real:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

I overdressed for this day too! It was a cold and cloudy morning with a bit of rain, although the sun started to peek out just as I took outfit pics before we left. I'd planned to wear a short sleeved dress but thought this long sleeved navy and white stripe one would be better, with all the rain predicted. We stopped by a little open air market in the morning, hoping to get in before the rain came back, but as we were walking around the clouds cleared and it was so hot and sunny. I regretted going for the long sleeve dress!

Thankfully the library was our next stop and was the perfect temperature with the aircon. It was a good place to cool off at before a trip to the playground (and a little bit of time hunting for some leaves and sticks to redo our insect enclosures again).

As I had a big reusable tote for collecting sticks and carrying water bottles, I stuck with this little mini Darren bag I'd been using the day before. I did spend some cash at the markets though and quickly realised I need to use a coin purse if I'm going to put change in this bag! The leather is unlined so it's quite floppy and a few coins spilled out when I set the bag down on a bench at the playground.


Last worn: navy stripe shift dress, navy and gold beaded necklace, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy stripe shift dress and leather jacket, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and dark dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in third trimester

---

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and olive look so good together! If you're unsure about trying blue and green, you could pair a little olive accessory like this mini bag with navy and white stripes, like I have in these outfits with the tee and dress.

Striped Tees, Colourful Cardigans and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Showing once again that this Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag goes with everything for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Sharing some striped tee and skinny jeans outfits I wore recently with black Converse and colourful cardigans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Tee: Jeanswest Anika foil stripe tee in white and silver
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Sneaking another weekend outfit into the Weekday Wear Link Up! Wore this for a very relaxed weekend - a trip to the library with the kids in the morning, and then a BBQ at our friend's house in the afternoon to check out their renovations. It was such a nice day for it, this light cardigan was all I needed. I didn't want to overdress for a backyard BBQ but thought the bright purple cardigan and the silver foil stripes elevated this jeans and tee outfit just enough to look a little more special for the occasion.

One of our friends brought their dogs too so with us having Cooper along also there were dogs and kids everywhere - everyone had a great time, even if we had to leave a little early to get the kids home.

Last worn: purple waterfall cardigan, silver foil stripe tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: purple waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, silver foil stripe tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans in the office, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cardi in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Scarf: The Quintessential Cambridge Willow green floral snood
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this mustard cardigan with the olive jeans, I really like the combination so it's on frequent repeat in the colder weather. Initially I was just going to have this outfit without a scarf, like the one above, but it was a super cold morning so I was hunting around at the last minute for a scarf to wear. This infinity scarf was perfect! The shades of green were a little coordinated with the olive jeans, and I love print mixing with florals and stripes.

Again I wore the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag, roomy enough for all my essentials with and a lot more, and it worked well as my son had a few things for me to take home after my session helping out in his classroom. It was a special celebration day for the class so they didn't do any of the usual work I help them out with, which was a nice change for us parent volunteers, and the kids! After that it was just working from home until it was time for school pick up again in the afternoon, when thankfully it was a bit warmer!


Last worn: mustard cardigan, printed snood, grey striped tee, olive skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and printed jeans, printed snood and dress, grey striped tee and red jeans, olive skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and midi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: mustard cardigan and shift dress, grey striped tee at 40 weeks, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Striped tees are a classic wardrobe staple, and are often worn with jeans. To try make your outfit stand out a little more, you could add a bright and colourful cardigan. perfect for colder winter days.

Jeans, Striped Tees and Colourful Cardigans With Chloe Small Paraty Bag

Skinny jeans, stripes, sneakers, and colourful cardigan outfits for winter days. I feel I wear jeans every single day, I've gotten a bit lazy with my winter dressing. At least the colour schemes of these outfits are a little varied!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

I love purple and blue together, although this bright blue Louis Vuitton shawl does steal all the attention away from the cute purple cardi! Despite it being a rainy day it wasn't too cold - so this light cardigan over the navy striped tee was all I needed to stay warm. 

I had the school drop off, an appointment afterwards, and then worked from home until it was time to pick the kids up, and we had a quick shop at Kmart. Thankfully the rain stopped in the afternoon, although it was a little bit of a pain doing the morning drop off in the rain! This scarf is so good at keeping me warm though.

Wore my little Chloe Paraty bag in periwinkle blue, even though it doesn't match the navy stripes of the tee or the bright blue of the scarf, I thought it complimented those shades and the purple cardigan nicely. It also fit a library book for me to read while waiting at my appointment - had such a nice chat with the nurse about the kinds of books we like to read.

Last worn: purple cardigan, Louis Vuitton shawl, navy stripe tee, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: purple cardigan worn 30 ways, Louis Vuitton shawl and maxi dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Chloe periwinkle Paraty bag.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cardigan in second trimester, navy stripe tee in third trimester.

Chloe Paraty Bag Review

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a particularly windy day - perhaps a thicker cardigan may have worked better! Maybe even tying my hair back - the wind wasn't kind to it even though I wasn't outside long snapping these pics!

Another quiet day with the school run and working from home. I wanted to wear this mustard cardigan with the navy striped Coca-Cola tee - both were thrift finds from a sadly now closed local opshop. Surprisingly I haven't worn them together before! I felt they were a really good combination and added a lot of lightness to this outfit that would have been a bit neutral otherwise with the white Stan Smith sneakers and the grey skinny jeans.

Again, the Chloe small Paraty bag doesn't match any of the colours in the outfit, but I thought it complimented the mustard nicely.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, grey skinny jeans, Stan Smith sneakers, Chloe small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, Coca-Cola logo tee worn 2 ways, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Stan Smith sneakers in monochrome outfit, Chloe small Paraty bag and tiered dress.

How You Can Wear It:

A cardigan can add warmth and a little extra colour to a simple striped tee and jeans outfit in winter. A bright scarf can add even more colour too!

Striped Tees Matching Waterfall Cardigans With Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, more jeans and tee outfits, which are becoming a staple with winter really taking hold here in Brisbane!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

With the navy stripe tee matching the cosy navy waterfall cardigan, and the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black sneakers, this could have been a really dark toned outfit, even with the white in the stripes. The magenta Balenciaga Day bag and purple scarf were the perfect way to add a bit more colour, and I appreciated the extra cosiness from the scarf too, it was a particularly cold day and I was thankful for the scarf on the school run, especially in the morning!

Had a quiet day of working from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening. Jeans and a tee is the perfect casual outfit for that.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, purple scarf, navy stripe tee, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, purple scarf and printed dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and blazer, Balenciaga magenta day bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Bag in My Balenciaga Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was one of those outfits I'd planned in my head that didn't quite translate how I wanted to when I put it on in the morning. It was a busy day though, with helping out in my son's classroom after the school run, working from home, and then last minute shopping for a birthday present for a birthday party the next day after school pick up. I had planned this scarf but realised it didn't look quite right, but had no time to try another. Not the worst combination, but I do think another scarf would have worked better.

The shoes are new to me! I rarely ever see shoes in my size at the opshops so getting a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers for $3 the other year was an awesome steal. My mum found these Stan Smiths and was hoping they would fit her, but unfortunately they didn't. She brought them over for me to try though and they work for me, so she gave them to me. $0 sneakers is the best!

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue window pane scarf, burgundy striped tee, grey skinny jeans, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the Stan Smith sneakers.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, blue window pane scarf and striped dress, burgundy striped tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30ways, Balenciaga tempete Day bag and maxi dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga tempete Day bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

For a little bit of matchy-matchy, try pairing a striped tee in a similar shade to a cosy cardigan in winter. Adding other colours with accessories like I have with scarves and bags is fun to try too!

Printed Tees and Colourful Jeans With Navy Micro Regan Crossbody Bag

I wore these two jeans and tee outfits back on warmer autumn days a few weeks ago, when I didn't need any extra layers. Although very different they both follow the same simple formula of colourful jeans and a printed tee, and my Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I wanted to try wear these jeans with something a bit different, so went with this neon orange leopard print tee. I've worn orange with these olive jeans only a few times, but I really like the combination! I think the neutral denim is a good match with the bright statement tee.

Kept everything else neutral in this outfit too, to let the tee shine. With the navy necklace, navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag, and the white Converse. Was a nice and comfortable outfit for working from home, with the school run, a quick stop at the shops in the afternoon and sports in the evening. 

My son discovered a mantis in our garden which laid eggs before it went away so he was very excited to go to Petbarn to stock up on everything the baby mantids will need when they hatch. And I have to give credit to the wonderful employee who was very understanding and who gave me multiple options and price points for everything, so I wasn't spending hundreds on housing a little mantis egg pouch 😂 We have since added two mantids to our "collection" but the babies haven't hatched just yet!


Last worn: neon leopard print tee, navy beaded tassel necklace, olive skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: neon leopard print tee and denim skirt, olive skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag with green.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford Bag Review:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

This was another working from home day with the school run, although when I went to pick the kids up in the afternoon I did wish I'd added an extra layer with this, it wasn't as warm a day as the one above! I liked the simplicity of this outfit, with the matchy-matchy of the navy striped tee and navy Micro Bedford bag together. I like wearing blue and red together, and these pants work well with both the navy and the brighter blue of the Converse sneakers.

I thought the silver circle necklace was a nice matchy-matchy choice with the circle zipper pull on the Micro Bedford bag too.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, silver circle necklace, burgundy jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and floral duster, blue Converse and navy dress, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a staple outfit formula! You can change it up a little each time you wear it with other colours of denim and not just classic blue, and try a printed tee to make it seem even more different too.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags

In the very last days of April it finally started to feel a little bit like autumn in Brisbane, which meant I could get my jeans out again! Wore them with the classic striped tee and Converse combination. Pulled out my Balenciaga Day bags again too - both hadn't been worn yet this year, surprisingly!

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans (opshop find)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Wanted a nice comfortable outfit for the usual school run and working from home routine. With it being a little cooler that morning, it was the perfect opportunity to get these jeans out! I found them at the opshop late last year, for just $1. Being my size I wasn't going to turn them down, and I was so happy when I tried them on and they fit like a glove! Although the style branding on it doesn't indicate that they are a cropped style I suspect they may have been hemmed, as they are a great length on my petite self! 

The tee was a $1 find from another opshop too - both pieces are perfect together. I think the faded black of the denim works nicely with the navy stripes on the tee, and I can't believe it's been so long since I last wore this Balenciaga day bag, it is a firm favourite. Even though I really didn't need to carry much as I was just working from home and only popped out for the school run, it was nice to get this big bag out again.


Last worn: Coca-Cola tee, Converse, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time it's been cool enough to wear these jeans I thrifted last year.

Other ways to wear: Coca-Cola tee and orange skirt, Converse and floral dress, Balenciaga tempete day bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Balenciaga Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
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
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

A lazy long weekend meant falling back to that classic striped tee and skinny jeans combo again! I wore another navy and white striped tee - I do have quite a striped tee collection. While these charcoal jeans are a lot more grey than the skinnies in the first outfit, I again liked the navy stripes with the darker denim. I thought the magenta accessories with the Balenciaga day bag and matchy-matchy magenta and gold necklace were a fun pop against the neutrals in my outfit.

We had a couple of errands to run, but otherwise a very lazy day. Did stop into Kmart on the way home to pick up some organisation pieces - I've been inspired by watching The Home Edit on Netflix and Kmart have a good range of little clear containers like you see on the show. Howard's Storage World has the official The Home Edit range here in Australia, but my budget nowadays is more Kmart! 😂


Last worn: navy white striped tee, gold and marble necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Converse (above), Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy white striped tee and maxi skirt, grey Nobody Denim jeans worn two ways, Converse and denim skirt, Balenciaga magenta day bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy white striped tee in third trimester, Converse for second trimester travel, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can't beat a striped tee and jeans! You can add a little extra colour with a big handbag like these Balenciaga day bags.
