Pink and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Love Too Bag

Two very different black and pink jeans and tee outfits, with patterned cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Rebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this cosy knit out again! The perfect topper to keep me warm for a day with the school run, working from home and a quick errand in the afternoon. I always enjoy getting this knitted poncho out each winter, it's like wearing a giant blanket really! The black and white pattern adds a nice bit of an interest to any outfit I wear it with, and it is warm enough so I just needed a plain tee underneath.  Added a little colour with the pink frayed hem Zara jeans, an opshop find.

The necklace doesn't have any pink in it but I liked the simplicity of it against the textures white tee and the pastel orange was a nice colour worn with the pastel pink jeans.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, beaded necklace, textured white tee, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. 

Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, textured white tee and shorts, pink frayed hem jeans and jumper, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and packing up for and driving the boys to camp in the evening.

Of course by the time we left for camp I'd swapped the light floral waterfall jacket for a cosier hoodie, but during the day this light jacket was all I needed. I liked the bright burst of colour it added to the monochromatic grey tee and black skinny jeans outfit. The turquoise wooden necklace and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag were nice accessories to add a little more colour too.

Maxi Skirts and Denim Jackets

Blue tees, denim jackets and maxi skirts for Brisbane winter days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful with this blue tee, ochre orange maxi skirt, and more blue with the denim jacket and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. I really liked the accessories with this outfit, the twist hoop earrings go so nicely with the mixed metal pendant necklace.

It was a little chilly for the school run so this denim jacket was a great layer over this maxi skirt and tee outfit. I wear blue with this maxi skirt often, I really like the colour combination! And it was nice and comfortable for working from home, and doing the school run. I picked up some of my sons friends from school the afternoon for a playdate too.


Last worn: denim jacket, silver earrings, blue tee, mixed metal necklace, ochre maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and grey tee, blue tee with red, ochre maxi skirt and knit, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: no label cream and brown floral print midi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another maxi skirt, blue tee and denim jacket outfit for another day of working from home. As well as also doing the school run, I took the kids to sports in the evening. I did kind of wish I'd worn a scarf with this as well in the evening! The denim jacket is great and usually keeps me warm, but it was quite a chilly night.

This was perfect for during the day though, my oldest had a special excursion so I had to drop him off for that in the morning. He had such a good day and did really well in the presentation in the afternoon - I'm proud of him! I needed a bag for all my essentials plus my camera for taking photos at his presentation, so I went with this purple Chloe Paraty. Like the orange maxi skirt, I like purple and blue together so I often wear this with blue. It's the first time I've worn it with this brown floral print maxi skirt and I really liked the deep purple with the brown and cream. I'm definitely going to have to wear them together again.

I skipped a necklace and just wore a statement pair of earrings with this outfit as I felt the subtle sparkle on the tee was enough interest that I didn't need to add a necklace. It never shows up too well in photos though!


Last worn: gold leaf earrings, moto denim jacket, navy sparkle tee, brown floral print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and dress, navy sparkle tee and jeans, brown floral print maxi skirt and grey tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe purple Paraty bag and dress.

Tees, Grey Jeans, Cocoon Cardigans And Love Too Bag

Another two jeans and tee outfits with some cocoon cardigans for autumn working from home days back in May. I'm wearing my little croc embossed Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with both of these outfits, I love how it just goes with everything!

What I wore:

Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I liked the simplicity of this outfit, with the long grey cocoon cardigan keeping me warm, and the clay tee adding some colour between the grey cardigan and grey jeans. I picked the brown Converse as they seemed similar to the clay tee but they are much more different than I had thought. Luckily the brown is a nice neutral so they still work with all the other neutral grey tones in this outfit. I added a little extra colour with the pendant necklace as well.

Wanted to be comfortable more than anything and these stretchy jeans are very comfortable to wear - perfect for a bit of driving around in the morning for an early morning vet appointment for cooper, and then working from home for the rest of the day.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, stone pendant necklace, rust tee, grey skinny jeans, brown Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cocoon cardigan and skirt, rust tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, brown Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit with another neutral cocoon cardigan over grey jeans and a tee! This time around I went a little brighter with the pink tee, and the fuchsia earrings. While the shades of pink are very different I thought they looked nice together, and it dressed up my outfit a little for video calls as I worked from home.

My son had an early morning appointment at the doctors before school, I worked from home and then after school pickup they had an evening kids event at church to attend, so it was a bit of a busy day with the driving around. I was thankful for this cosy cardigan keeping me warm as it was a bit windy, especially at the event in the evening. Although I wore this back in autumn it was definitely starting to get cooler.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, double circle necklace, pink tee, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and skirt, pink tee and shorts, Nobody Denim jeans with red, Adidas Superstar sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.

Denim Skirts, Colourful Tees, Printed Layers and Grey MAB

Two colourful v-neck tees with printed cover ups, denim skirts, and my Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag that was overdue a wear.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets:  Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and a playdate for my son in the afternoon. When I bought this tee I thought of this printed cover up right away! The copper colour is so perfect with the orange and red in this cover up print, and I really liked the combination. I was glad this pairing turned out as well as I hoped it would when I saw the tee in the store.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral, with the black sandals, black denim skirt, and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. It's been a while since I wore this bag so it was good to get it out again.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, printed cover up, mixed metal necklace, black denim skirt, black sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAB. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and jeans, black denim skirt and florals, black sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAB worn 30 ways.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busier weekend day, with a trip to the vets for Bonnie as it's coming up on a year after we adopted her and she was due her annual vaccines. The kids came along for support for her too, she was such a brave dog!

After the vets it was a few errands and getting some jewellery repaired, I'd been meaning to do it for a while so it was nice to find a local place. I even had time for a browse in my favourite opshop on the ay home, although I didn't score any new wardrobe items for me as I'd had a lot of success at the start of the month, I did pick up some books for the kids and I.

This pink tee is one I've hit 30 wears on, and I will really need to do a 30 ways to wear post on it soon, it's a firm favourite! I thought it added just the right amount of colour to the grey Nobody denim skirt and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. The leopard print cocoon cardigan was nice and cosy, although I definitely didn't need it later in the afternoon as it warmed up into such a warm day.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, leopard cardigan, faux pearl necklace, pink tee, grey nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard cardigan and jeans, pink tee and shorts, grey nobody Denim skirt with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff MAB and dress.

Leopard Print Cocoon Cardigan With Black Denim

Two autumn outfits, both with black denim, colourful tops, and this cosy leopard print cocoon cardigan I recently thrifted.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Couldn't believe my luck when I saw this leopard print cardigan at my favourite opshop! At just $1 it was a good replacement for the leopard print cardi I had a couple of winters ago and decided wasn't perfect for me, so donated back. This one I really like. I'm a sucker for a cocoon shaped cardigan, and with the black and white leopard print it looks great with everything. Wore it for a cooler autumn morning, although I did end up taking the cardigan off by the time we got to church as the sun came out and the day warmed up nicely.

The rose gold necklace is an opshop find too, from the same trip I got this cute knit on. The black skinny jeans are an old opshop find and while the purple tee and pink Converse were purchased new, the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag was a preloved find as well.


Last worn: purple tee, rose gold necklace, black skinny jeans, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag. First time I've worn the pink Converse as they were a recent gift from mum, and first time I've worn the cardigan as it was a recent opshop buy.
 
Other ways to wear: purple tee and skirt, black skinny jeans and trench coat, Chloe wine purple small Paraty bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Another very similar outfit to the one above with this leopard print cardigan. This time around I picked a plain pink cami, and a black denim pencil skirt. The cardigan was a great option to cover up the spaghetti straps on the cami when on video calls as I worked from home. It was warmer later in the day when I finished working and we stopped by the library, but I kept the cardigan on as I wasn't too hot in this denim skirt. Didn't need to carry much, so went with my little Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag which matched the cardigan, necklace and denim skirt nicely.

I liked the simplicity of this outfit and I see myself wearing this leopard print cocoon cardigan a lot more as the weather keeps cooling off here in Brisbane. Such a good opshop find.


Last worn: leopard print cocoon cardigan (above), black necklace, terracotta pink cami, black denim skirt, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. First time I've worn the Havaianas as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: terracotta pink cami and shorts, black denim skirt and stripes, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and maxi skirt.

Green and Blue Shorts Outfits With Black Bags

On warmer autumn days I took advantage of the milder temperatures to wear shorts one more time. I wore some green tops with two pairs of blue shorts. Although both outfits are different shades of blue and green, I liked these combinations.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer weekend day than I expected for autumn, so a simple light tank and these turquoise linen shorts seemed like a good choice to beat the heat. I wasn't too sure about the darker olive green embroidered tank with the bright turquoise linen shorts, but I'm glad I gave this outfit a try, i really liked it! I had a couple of errands to run and a trip to the opshop - after sorting through the boys winter wardrobes I had a few things to donate that they had outgrown! I picked myself up a couple of new things I couldn't resist, and some new winter pieces for them along with a bunch of books.

The only downside to this day was that the pretty necklace I'd worn, this long freshwater pearl one with the tassel, got damaged. I frequently play with the tassel on this necklace and at the end of the day I realised it wasn't on the necklace any more. I'd run so many errands I'm not sure where I lost it, such a shame as I really like wearing this!


Last worn: embroidered tank, tassel necklace, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts with pink, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted rose gold station statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mimco black button bag

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day in the school holidays! My sister had arranged for the boys to be wildlife carers for the day, and I was able to take the day off so my mum, sister and I could relax and have some lunch while the boys spent time with the animals. We ended up at the outlets where we had a lot of fun shopping as we waited for the boys, and mum got me some new Converse as there was an extra sale on the already discounted pieces.

As I wasn't sure what we'd ned up doing while the kids were busy, I picked a practical shorts and tee outfit, with these comfortable Adidas superstar sneakers for all the driving around, and my big black Mimco button bag for water bottles and hats. With the crew neck on this green tee, I wore one of the necklaces I thrifted on the day above. I feel the rose gold necklace is such a nice statement with the block colour tee.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, green tee, navy stripe shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mimco black button bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it's a recent opshop purchase.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, navy stripe shorts and cardigan, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Mimco black button bag and skirt.

Colourful Tees, Printed Culotte Shorts and Chloe Marcie Shoulder Bag

On some warmer autumn days I got out my printed Kmart culotte shorts, and paired them with basic block colour tees and my Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This colourful mango yellow tee hadn't been worn in a while so it was overdue another wear! I thought it was perfect for being bright and noticeable as I sat on the sidelines of my son's sport activity at school. It was so good getting to cheer them on, although the unexpected rain did put a bit of a damper on things, it cleared up in time for the kids to compete.

Because I had forgotten an umbrella I was glad I'd gone with this light shorts and tee outfit - it dried out nice and quickly for working from home later in the day. My friends and I huddled in the sidelines under blankets and umbrellas from those who had them, but it wasn't quite enough to keep us all dry. I had my water bottle and a hat with me so I went for this big Chloe Marcie bag - it holds so much, perfect size for all the essentials and more.


Last worn: blue stud earrings, mango yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, lemon print navy culotte shorts, white Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: mango yellow tee and jeans, lemon print navy culotte shorts and graphic tee, white Converse and skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another shorts and tee outfit for the school run and working from home. I like these pastel print culottes, they are the same style as the pair above, but a different print and colour. They were a lucky opshop find. I decided to try them with this pastel blue tee. I wasn't sure if it was too much pastel at first, but I think this long necklace helped tie the pieces together nicely and added a bit of contrast.

While I didn't have a lot to carry with me, again I wore my Chloe Marcie bag, as being in a rush that morning it was easier not to have to change over my bag. The neutral brown works well with the blues and greys in this outfit I thought.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, pearl tassel necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Other ways to wear: pastel blue tee and maxi skirt, pastel print culotte shorts and blazer, Chloe Marcie bag and jeans.

Black Denim, Pink Tees, Cupid Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Pink tees with printed cover ups, my thrifted Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and black denim. Autumn weather is slowly starting to arrive in Brisbane, so some days I'm in jeans as it's cooler, other days it's back to denim skirts and bare legs.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On maroon wanderlust floral border cover up
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable outfit for the school run and working from home, jeans and a tee was perfect. With the peaches in the floral print of this burgundy cover up I thought I'd try the ombre pink tee with it for something different, and I really liked this combination.

Kept the rest of the outfit simple and neutral with the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and the black skinny jeans.


Last worn: burgundy floral print cover up, silicone necklace, ombre pink tee, black skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wear: burgundy floral print cover up and shorts, ombre pink tee and white denim, black skinny jeans and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another pink tee and black denim outfit, this time with a denim skirt as it was much too warm for jeans. This navy tie dye duster was a good physical sunblock and I liked the way it moves around my legs when walking. With the flooding from the cyclone recently the mozzies are out in full force and it's good to have an extra something stopping them from biting my legs when I'm out dog walking in the mornings and evening when they are most active.

It's a shame that the silver hoop earrings are hard to spot in my hair here, as I liked how they were a similar shape to the necklace. I'll need to try get a clearer photo next time I wear them together, I like the pairing so they are sure to be worn together again soon!


Last worn: navy tie dye cape, silver hoop earrings, mixed metal necklace, pink modal tee, black denim skirt, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tie dye cape and jeans, pink modal tee and maxi skirt, black denim skirt and blazer, strappy sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Blue Tees, A-Line Skirts and Black Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Wearing blue tees and a-line skirts with my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag recently.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette shadow dancer geo circle tassel drop earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
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:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd worn this skirt, and the rust coloured linen is so perfect for autumn that I had to get it out again. I wore it with this simple blue tee, and then as the paper bag waist and the tie waist and button detail on the skirt added enough interest, I skipped wearing a necklace. I did add some statement earrings, like the skirt these gold ones hadn't been worn in a while, I forgot how heavy they were! They are so pretty though, I liked the way the circles matched the circular buttons on the skirt, although they are not the easiest to see in my wavy hair.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for lunch and a couple of errands and birthday present shopping with my son.


Last worn: statement gold earrings, blue tee, orange linen button up skirt, white Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: blue tee and maxi skirt, orange linen button up skirt and denim jacket, white Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in blu marine
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the outfit above so much I wore a very similar one again the next day for church. This time I went matchy-matchy, with the blue tee and blue Converse sneakers. Again I wore my little Mimco crossbody bag, I just needed the essentials for church.

Although this animal print ruffle hem a-line skirt is a bold statement piece, unlike the outfit above I felt I needed a necklace with this. I liked this bronze foil one, an opshop find, as it matched the colours in the skirt so well.


Last worn: blue tee, bronze foil necklace, animal print skirt, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue tee with red, animal print skirt and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.
