Printed Dresses and Polene Bag

Two easy outfits for working from home days, just throwing on printed dresses and adding a little extra colour with my lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

It was a busy day with a couple of errands and the school run to be fit in alongside working from home. I just wanted a simple outfit so reached for this dress I thrifted a while back for $1. Definitely getting good value from it! A pretty floral print dress like this is an easy instant outfit. I just added the slides I got for Christmas that I've been wearing on repeat, a couple of layered Tiffany necklaces to match the silver bracelets on my wrist, and then the lilac Polene bag for a little extra colour and because I didn't need to carry much. I really like the lilac numero neuf mini bag against the pinks and pastel floral print of the dress.


Last worn: floral print dress, Tiffany notes necklace, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, tan slides, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearfloral print dress and blazer, tan slides and denim skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and leopard print.






What I wore:



Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

The first days of autumn in Brisbane are still pretty hot, so I wanted something light to wear. This Kmart little black tiered sundress is a favourite for hot days like this was. It was perfect for staying cool and comfortable while working from home, and taking the kids for a haircut after school pickup in the afternoon.

Navy Havaianas as I needed something easy and we weren't walking far. With the black dress though, even adding the little magenta and gold marble necklace didn't quite brighten this outfit up enough, so I wore my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag again. I loved the way the lilac stood out against the black printed background of the dress. It's not the first time I've worn a pastel bag with this little black dress, I really like the combination!


Last worn: marble necklace, Kmart tiered sundress, Havaianas, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Pink and Leopard Print Outfits With Sorbet Balenciaga City Bag

Two different outfits for working from home days with added appointments thrown in. Both featuring pink and leopard print, a combination I really enjoy wearing! And my pretty sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag that was due another wear.


What I wore:





Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee:  Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment. Again, I went for shorts and tee, which has become a go-to outfit formula for me this year!

It's not the first time I've worn this leopard print cover up with pink, I really like the combination. But it's the first time I've worn this awesome super-soft pink tee with it. With the print from the cover up, plain shorts were needed and these cuffed distressed denim shorts go with everything.


Last worn: leopard print cover up, gold and silver necklace, pale pink teedistressed denim shorts, Sketchers, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

What I wore:

TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

This was a very hot and humid day so I reached for this light skirt. It's a fun leopard print and it's great in the heat and humidity! Also nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, a bit of driving around to take my son to an appointment, and the library after school. Big day!

I liked the simplicity of the ombre tee with the leopard skirt, I felt this outfit didn't need very much so I just added this little double strand beaded necklace and again my sorbet Balenciaga city bag. I like the different shades of pink together, with the ombre tee and the brighter pink on the Balenciaga bag.

Black and Grey Office Pencil Skirt Outfits With Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Just like last week, sharing a couple more neutral black and grey outfits I wore into the office. Paired both of these grey pencil skirts with some black tees and then added a little colour with my lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
SkirtAtmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

It was nice wearing this stretchy knit pencil skirt again! It was a firm staple pre-pandemic, and being a nice stretchy jersey it's incredibly comfortable to wear. Don't know why it hasn't hit 30 wears yet! I am starting to delve into the "workwear" area of my wardrobe more often with dressing for the office now so hopefully it will hit that figure soon. It goes well with anything, but keeping it simple for this day at work I wore it with the plain black tee (an opshop find) and a little matchy-matchy with the black Converse too.

Although the mauve Polene numero neuf mini bag is not quite the same shade of lilac as the statement necklace, I really like the two accessories together and the little extra colour they added to this otherwise neutral monochromatic outfit.


Last worn: black modal tee, lilac statement necklace, grey jersey pencil skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearblack modal tee and midi skirt, grey jersey pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and shorts, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with dress.

What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
TeeAtmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Incredibly similar outfit to the one above, just with slightly messier hair as my straightener broke that morning which is not ideal when you're already pushed for time to get out the door! Much like the grey jersey pencil skirt above, this textured Target pencil skirt is becoming a staple and I feel I almost wear it weekly! It's great for in the office and I know I'll continue to wear it as the weather cools as it's a lovely thick cosy textured fabric.

I kept the necklace matching the colour scheme of my outfit this time with the black and silver necklace, but still had my little lilac Polene numero neuf mini bag for a touch of colour. It just works so well in a neutral outfit like the two in these posts!


Last worn: black v-neck tee, clover necklace, textured pencil skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wearblack v-neck tee and jeans, textured pencil skirt with green, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.

Blue Shorts and Tee Outfits With Pink MAB Crossbody Bag

Sticking with a colour combination I love for these shorts and tee outfits, wearing tonal blue with my little dusty pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag as a pop of colour.


What I wore:




Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Felt like wearing a lot of blue on this day! I had the school run, a physio appointment, and working from home before school pickup in the afternoon. As it was another hot day, shorts and tee was a sensible choice! Wore my Sketchers sneakers for practicality with the physio appointment too.

I really liked the pastel blue of the tee with the navy striped belted linen shorts, but I felt this outfit was missing something, so I added the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag for a bit of extra colour. While it's a lighter pink, I really like this bag with blue and I feel this made the outfit a lot better. I loved it.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, Tiffany necklace, striped linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearpastel blue tee and skirt, striped linen shorts and cardigan, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag with black outfit.






What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the first outfit above so much, I created a very similar outfit the next day! It was yet another humid day, so the linen shorts were good in the heat, and also a practical choice. We had a kid's DIY class at Bunnings in the morning and then in the afternoon we went to go get some puppy cuddles. Wanted something that would be comfortable for both these events and shorts and tee were perfect. It's a mum staple for a reason!

Again I wore the little MAB studded crossbody bag, it looks just as good with the turquoise and navy as it did in the pastel blue and navy outfit above. I added the pastel pink necklace for a little matchy-matchy, but the pink on the necklace is a lot lighter and doesn't show up in photos as well. I still liked wearing the accessories together.


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, linen shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag (above).

Blue and Green Midi Skirt Outfits With Floral Bag

Proving again that the rule "blue and green should never be seen" is definitely wrong, wearing two different shades of blue and green in these midi skirt outfits for days in the office recently. Accessorised both with my little hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag, statement necklaces, and comfortable converse.


What I wore:




Necklace: Eye Candy LA 'Sasha' statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

I thrifted this green tee and the blue button up linen midi skirt in the same opshop trip - I knew I'd have to pair them together! I really like the pale blue lienn skirt with the green of the tee, and couldn't resist adding a littl emore green and blue with my personalised mini MAB tote bag. It was so good in this outfit, and the bag was overdue a wear for sure.

Took advantage of the crew neck of the green tee to wear an old statement necklace that is also overdue another wear! It works best with high necklines like this, and as with the bag, I thought it was a great accessory for this outfit. Such an easy outfit for the office.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, blue linen skirt, white Converse, hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

Another office day and another green and blue midi skirt outfit! I got this pretty broderie midi skirt from mum for Christmas, and while I loved wearing it in December I find it's easy to wear outside the festive season too! This navy tee was an obvious choice as navy goes with eveything! I liked these two shades of blue and green together just as much as in the outfit above, even those the green is a bit bolder and the blue a lot deeper with the navy. This tee is also an opshop find, and covered in some sparkle thread that sadly never shows up in photos!

Added a little more blue with the blue Converse and this multi strand tassel necklace that added a touch more colour against the navy backdrop of the tee. Couldn't resist wearing this mini MAB tote bag again, with the blue florals and green leaves in the illustration Sheila made it works perfectly with green and blue outfits like this!


Last worn: navy tee, statement tassel necklace, green broderie midi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag (above).

Kmart Printed Culotte Shorts With Red Tees

Wearing my two pairs of Kmart printed culotte shorts with some red tees for hot and humid days at the end of summer in Brisbane.


What I wore:



Necklace: thrifted gold and pastel blue beaded necklace with grey string
TeeCotton On The One sangria v-neck tee
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

Wore this to start our long holiday weekend with family on Tangalooma Resort (on Mulgumpin island). I had my big Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote as it's both a good beach bag and a great travel bag! It easily fit some snacks, bottles of water, and activities for the ferry ride over to entertain the kids and I, and it meant I didn't need another bag for day to day beach life.

We left early morning and got to enjoy the beach and pools before dinner. It was a busy day of travel but so relaxing once we got the resort on the island. Last time I stayed at Tangalooma was for our honeymoon, so it was great spending time there again. The kids loved it, really should have taken them sooner!

While there is no red in the print of these culotte shorts, I thought the red and navy combination was nice and colourful, and this was a comfortable outfit for our trip.


Last worn: red tee, blue necklace, navy printed culotte shorts, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Other ways to wearred tee and turquoise, navy printed culotte shorts and cardiganLouis Vuitton Neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancyLouis Vuitton Neverfull at 38 weeks.





What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka red resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

While the outfit above is all things bought new, this outfit is mostly thrifted, except for the sneakers! The coral red tee, beaded necklace, pastel print culotte shorts, resin bracelets and Stella McCartney Falabella bag are all opshop finds.

Just like the outfit above, this shorts and tee outfit was super comfortable. Stayed in Brisbane with this though, no exciting trips, as I was working from home and had the school run. Needed the navy Sketchers sneakers as I'd injured my knee on our holiday, and needed the extra support.

I liked the washed coral tee with this - there is a little rust in the print on these culotte shorts and while the red tee and the red resin bangle aren't an exact shade match, I thought the pieces complimented each other nicely.


Last worn: coral tee, statement beaded necklace, resin bangles, pastel print culotte shorts, Sketchers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

What I Bought In February And How I've Worn It: Thrifted Finds

After getting so many awesome clothes and accessories for Christmas, I wasn't expecting to be adding to my wardrobe so early into the year! However I came across some a few pieces I couldn't resist at the opshop. I mostly focus on books when I'm there, but also have a little browse through the clothes racks and accessories stands and often unearth some gems like I did on my last visit.



What I Bought:

  • thrifted cream resin bangle duo set
  • thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
  • thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
  • thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green




How I've Worn It:


It's taken me a while to add midi skirts to my wardrobe - but after thrifting an awesome leopard print midi skirt last year, and getting a pretty green one from my mum for Christmas, I couldn't pass up this lovely linen button down one. It has pockets! And was just $1.

I wear a lot of tees so I always have my eye out for them at the opshop - this green one was in perfect condition, and I have a bunch of Cotton On tees in my wardrobe already, just no green ones. I'm finding it really easy to wear so far. I used to avoid anything green, but have been embracing the colour more these past few years. I think realising "blue and green should never be seen" is a silly rule has really attracted me to the colour, I love wearing green and blue together.


The accessories are fun statement pieces I instantly noticed on the accessories stands at the opshop. The resin bangles work well with the trio of colourful resin bangles I already own, I have been enjoying wearing them.

The necklace has been trickier to wear than I thought, but even it met the "wear twice in the month I buy it" goal I set for all new things I buy. With the burgundy beads I think I'll be pulling it out more often when I start to wear a lot of darker layers for the cooler months.

Office Outfits With Newly Opshopped Pieces

Making the most of my recently thrifted pieces I picked up at the opshop earlier this month, and wearing them into the office.


What I wore:




Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle duo set and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

This green tee is so soft! Knew it was a must-buy when I stumbled across it in the opshop. I have a lot of Cotton On tees, although this is my first green one, and I really like them! I kept it simple for its first wear, wearing it with this grey textured pencil skirt mum got me for Christmas and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag. It's such a great skirt for an office day.

Couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this. The chains on the Falabella make enough of a statement, so I decided to go with a couple chunky bangles on my arm, and I added this teal resin bracelet to the cream resin bangle duo I thrifted. Even though the shade of green on the bangle is different from the green tee, I really liked these together. Wore my comfortable Converse for the commute and because I had a couple of errands to run after picking up the kids from school.



Last worn: textured pencil skirt, teal resin bangle, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the white resin bracelets and the green tee as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to weartextured pencil skirt with black, black Converse and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and maxi skirt.

What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace (new purchase)
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets (new purchase)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelet set
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This is an outfit I had an idea would work and then I was in a rush to get to the office so threw all the pieces on without really thinking. Not sure it worked as well as I liked, but it did certainly keep me cool and comfortable for a very humid day at work with a delicious team lunch outdoors.

With this blue linen button up midi skirt I thought the brown printed tank would be a great pairing, both featuring button detail and the criss-cross print on the tank being similar to the linen pattern on the skirt. The burgundy and cream beaded necklace could have been swapped out for something smaller and I think I would have liked it more, it was just a very busy outfit with this all together. I liked the way the darker burgundy beads worked with the deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag though, that was a nice pairing.


Last worn: brown printed tank, blue Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag. First time I've worn the necklace and linen midi skirt as they are recent opshop purchases.

Black Denim Skirts and Tee Outfits With Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

Two very simple neutral denim skirts and tee outfits, both with black and white printed cover ups and the same purple Chloe Paraty bag and necklace.


What I wore:




JacketSeed Heritage black printed poncho
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

I got this amazing printed cover up from mum for Christmas. Being black and white it will go with everything. Although this is the second time I've worn it, it's the second time I've paired it with neutrals! I even wore it with this tee last time I wore it too. It is a good layer to add a little more interest to the plain grey pocket tee and distressed denim skirt outfit. Even the the tan slides though it was a lot of dark neutrals, so I added the purple marble and gold necklace to brighten it up a little, and then my deep purple small Chloe Paraty bag. I really like the extra but not overwhelming colour this bag adds to a neutral outfit.

Ideal outfit for a playdate and a couple of errands on the weekend.

What I wore:




JacketThe Kindness Collective 'Vienna Awaits' floral print kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

A busy day and being temporarily without a car meant comfortable sneakers for some actual running around. As well as the school drop off, we had an appointment for my son that morning. And then it was racing back home to work from home for a few hours before heading back to school to pick up the kids.

It was another hot and humid Brisbane summer day so while a black tee and black denim skirt weren't the best colour choice, I thought the white cover up would help reflect some of the heat and keep me cool. And I liked the pattern mix of the space dye tee against the floral Paisley print on the cover up. Wasn't sure at first if it would be too busy, but I think sticking with black and white in both prints worked.

Again I went with the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little bit of colour. And happened to pick the same necklace again! I really do like this bag and necklace worn together.


Last worn: floral print cover up, space dye tee, marble necklace (above), black denim skirt, New Balance sneakers, Chloe purple small Paraty bag (above).

Black And Leopard Maxi Skirt And Blazer Outfits

Sticking again to an easy repeatable outfit formula with leopard print, camis, ruffle hem skirts and blazers for some casual office wear. Both outfits accessorised with my little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
CamiNew Look black cross over back strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

My sister gave me this pretty black cross back cami from a wardrobe clear-out she had just before Christmas. I have the same one in orange, so of course I was happy to take this black version off her hands! With the cross over straps on the back and the spaghetti straps I definitely needed to cover this up in the office so I added this comfortable jersey blazer. This leopard print maxi was an opshop find and I've been wearing it fairly often since I thrifted it. It fits in perfectly with the very casual business casual outfits around the office lately, especially with the blazer to dress it up.

With the little lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag I added a touch more gold and purple with this marble necklace which I thought was a good pop against all the black.


Last worn: black blazer, marble necklace, leopard print midi skirt, Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. First time I've worn the cami as it's from my sister's wardrobe.

TopKmart Anko leopard print cami

Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit to the one above, this time around with a grey blazer and a leopard print cami and black maxi skirt. This skirt felt like it was overdue another wear, and being a very similar shape to the leopard print one I wore above I figured I'd give it a try with a blazer for the office too. I really liked this outfit! The leopard print cami is a fun one and I just added a neutral navy necklace to let the cami and the lilac bag be the focus points of my outfit.
