Yellow, Black And Leopard Print Outfits With Magenta Bag

Another two winter office outfits I wore recently, both with animal print, black and colourful yellow scarves. I added a little more colour to both outfits with my magenta Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Cami: Kmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

Was feeling the cold on this winter morning but also really wanted to give this cheetah print cami another wear for something different from a plain tee. Just like leopard print, I find it works well with yellow and I really like this mustard scarf with it.

Also had my grey belted cardigan on underneath the navy trench for a little extra warmth on the commute to work and also because I wanted to keep the spaghetti straps of the cami covered up in the office. Even though you can't really see it in the photos, just that longer hemline at the side peeking out. I was trying to pick a bag to wear and I saw this one I thrifted a while back and decided to give it a go. I liked the fun combination of it with the mustard scarf, I haven't tried yellow with this bag before.

Last worn: navy Macintosh, clay earrings, mustard scarf, cheetah print cami, zip detail jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and skirt, mustard scarf and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, zip detail jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and maxi skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and printed jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Earrings: thrifted Colette gold metal flower stud statement earrings (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the yellow and magenta combination above, I tried it again, with this brighter yellow scarf. This scarf is such a cheerful addition to a winter outfit, although it is sadly so big and cosy that it has completely hidden my top in the photos! I will need to try wearing this outfit again on a warmer day minus the scarf or jacket.

The leather jacket was much needed on a cold and wet day though - I even had leggings on under this leopard print maxi skirt to keep me cosy. Much needed with the side slits on the skirt for a cold day! I added some recently thrifted statement earrings too, even though the yellow scarf is enough of a statement on its own, as I didn't wear the scarf sitting at my desk in the office all day.

Last worn: black leather jacket, yellow scarf, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag (above). First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and denim dress, yellow scarf and floral dress, leopard print maxi skirt and blazer, white Converse and jeans, Marc By Marc Jacobs bag and sequins.

Perfect for Pregnancy: scarf in second trimester.

Floral Dresses, Trench Coats And Purple Small Paraty Bag

Felt like I'd been wearing a lot of jeans this winter, so changed it up a little and layered these Kmart floral midi dresses with trench coats and tall boots for days in the office recently. Despite the different colours in the dresses, I wore my wine purple Chloe Paraty bag with both.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Surprisingly the first time I've worn this teal dress with the purple Chloe Paraty bag before! I was sure this wasn't a new combination and one that I'd worn before, but a quick search through the blog proved otherwise.

I really liked the teal floral print with the purple bag, especially with the tall tan boots and the navy trench coat adding some neutrals.

Had a busy day with some time in the office then an appointment for my son after school pick up.


Last worn: navy trench, Tiffany necklace, teal floral midi dress, tan boots, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy trench and jeans, teal floral midi dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Decided to tie the neckline on this pretty floral midi dress up, which meant I accessorised with some statement earrings as the bow at the neck didn't really need a necklace. I liked how the turquoise in the earrings is a close match to the blue in the print of the dress. 

The tan trench coat and again the tall boots were definitely needed on this colder morning. It was an early start for a big day in the office, so a lack of sunlight for the photos sadly, hard to see how cute this dress looks belted!


Last worn: camel trench, statement earrings, black floral midi dress, tan boots (above), Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: camel trench worn 30 ways, black floral midi dress and floral bag, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe purple Paraty bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench coat in first trimester.

Jewel Tone Blouses, Trench Coats, Skinny Jeans and Floral Bag

More winter office outfits, with this cooler Brisbane weather making me grateful for these cosy trench coats! Wearing them with some skinny jeans and jewel toned blouses for in-office days recently.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Blouse: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

This was a very good day to be in the office, with a few colleagues I hadn't seen in person for a while being in. It was so fun to catch up!

The cold morning made me want jeans, and I thought I had better dress up the zip detail jeans a little for an in-office day. This jewel tone blouse was great to make the jeans a little more formal, and it always gets compliments. I just love the berry colour!

Added a few silver accessories with the layered Tiffany necklaces and the Mimco stud earrings, even though the hardware on the hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag is gold I felt the mixed metals were far enough apart that it worked.

Last worn: navy Macintosh, Mimco silver stud earrings, Tiffany notes heart necklace, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, jewel toned blouse, zip detail skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, jewel toned blouse and maxi skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and duster, black Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Blouse: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila

Why I wore it:

These pink frayed hem jeans would have been a firm casual Friday choice before the pandemic, but they fit right into the relaxed office vibe now with jeans an everyday of the week thing. My leader once removed loves them and compliments the colour every time I wear them. Since I like pink and blue together, the navy blouse seemed like a great choice with the pink. I didn't add any necklaces to this as the blouse has studded hardware on it already, and just tied it up to add a bit of detail at the neckline.

I was glad I tied the neckline up as without a scarf it was a little chilly in the morning, although this lined trench was easily buttoned up to keep me warmer. Again I wore the little hand painted Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag, I think that the blue and purple florals looked great with the pink jeans.


Last worn: camel trench coat, pink star earrings, navy blouse, pink frayed hem jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: camel trench coat worn 30 ways, navy blouse and pencil skirt, pink frayed hem jeans and blazer, white Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and dress.

Stripe Dresses With Matching Scarves and Bags

With the cold winter weather in Brisbane lately (it's dropped down to 9 or 7 degrees Celsius some mornings!) I've gotten wear from some more winter pieces with these trench coats that are great for cold morning commutes. Wore them with some striped dresses as I felt I was wearing a lot of jeans and needed something a bit different.

With these neutral outfits I added colourful bags and coordinating scarves to brighten them up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Scarf: Jeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

It was good to get this trench coat out again! It's a favourite year after year. It's cosy and lined and perfect for a cold winter morning. I layered a slip under this navy stripe shift dress too, and some cosy fleece lined tights with the ankle boots to keep me warm.

With the dark navy and black stripes and the black tights and boots, I added more colour with the mustard scarf and the yellow Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5-zip bag. The scarf and bag aren't an exact match together but I still liked the two yellows against the neutral dress.

While it was a cold morning, it thankfully warmed up at lunch time. I was able to leave my jacket behind when I headed to a nearby restaurant, and still be warm enough. The trench was certainly back on for the afternoon commute home though!


Last worn: camel trench, mustard scarf, gold earrings, navy stripe dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: camel trench worn 30 ways, mustard scarf and LBD, navy stripe dress and leather jacket, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench in first trimester, navy stripe tee dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl colourful print scarf in green
Earrings: Lovisa mini mustard tassel earrings
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag

Why I wore it:

I liked the outfit above so much that I created a very similar one with this other navy striped shift dress I have, this white and navy dress was an opshop find. Again I tried to coordinate my bag and scarf together, with this green mini 5 zip bag and the green shades in the printed scarf. I even added a little yellow into this outfit with the mustard tassel earrings to match the scarf print! Just like the outfit above, the colours in the accessories don't match exactly, but I really liked the combination.

With these tall leather boots and black leggings I was nice and cosy, and actually a bit too warm in the office! The navy trench coat was very much needed on both the commute into the office and home again in the afternoon though, and I was grateful for the warmth of it when we had a couple of errands to run after I picked the kids up from school in the afternoon too.


Last worn: navy Macintosh, mustard tassel earrings, green scarf, white stripe dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: navy Macintosh and pencil skirt, green scarf and grey dress, white stripe dress and leather jacket, tan boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and shorts.

Jewel Tones Blouses With Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Some business casual outfits with jewel toned blouses and skinny jeans for today's Weekday Wear Link up! Getting out an old office bag for another spin too, the Mulberry oak Bayswater.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace

Top: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather

Why I wore it:

I didn't wear this to the office, but it's something I totally would wear to work! As well as working from home and doing the school run I had an appointment that afternoon I was a little concerned about, so tried a version of power dressing. If I hadn't fallen down the stairs and twisted my ankle the day before, I would have pulled out a pair of confidence boosting heels too! I settled for more comfortable and practical ballet flats.

I thought the formal trench and classic black jeans, with a pretty berry blouse and the Bayswater tote looked like I meant business, to help me get into the right mindset for the appointment. The tote fit a notebook as well for the session, which didn't go as badly as I had feared! Even though it was warmer in the afternoon and I ended up leaving the jacket behind, I still felt very pulled together in this outfit.


Last worn: navy trench, silver necklace, berry blouse, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Mulberry Bayswater tote.

Other ways to wear: navy trench and pencil skirt, berry blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and kimono, black ballet flats and dress, Mulberry Bayswater tote in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ballet flats in third trimester, Mulberry Bayswater tote in second trimester.

Mulberry Bayswater Wear & Tear:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace and Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Blouse: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather

Why I wore it:

This outfit does not translate as well in the photos as I felt wearing it! It's full of pieces I love, my favourite black skinny jeans, this navy studded blouse, and the fun jacquard jacket. Added the Adidas Superstar sneakers as I needed something comfortable for all the walking around - working in the office I get in much more steps than I do working from home! We did all go out and get something for lunch to bring back to the office and eat together too that involved a little walking.

As I'd used the Mulberry Bayswater tote in the outfit above, I figured it would be a good bag to take into the office. I did worry when I threw it on my shoulder that maybe with the silver jacket another bag would have worked better, but it's not that bad.

The jeans and blouse definitely look much too similar together though. I think if I'd gone with black jeans or grey jeans it would have been much better than this navy blouse with the faded black denim. I didn't feel that when wearing it, just when looking at these photos afterwards, so maybe just my poor photography skills!


Last worn: jacquard jacket, navy blouse, diamond necklace, Tiffany heart necklace, faded black jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Mulberry Bayswater tote (above).

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and little black dress, navy blouse and pencil skirt, faded black jeans and double denim, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Mulberry Bayswater tote and wrap dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: jacquard jacket in second trimester, Mulberry Bayswater tote in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Pretty jewel toned blouses are a nice top to wear with skinny jeans. Just make sure you have enough contrast between the colour of the blouse and denim, unlike my second outfit!

Weekday Wear Link Up: Printed Tanks, Colourful Jeans and Converse

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, wearing one of the easiest outfits: jeans and a nice top! Pairing these printed tanks with colourful jeans for some bright winter outfits recently.

Quick update too: I managed to achieve No Buy July again this year, no new fashion purchases! First month of the slow fashion season #FashionDetox completed as well! I did go out for a day of shopping with my mum and sister the other weekend but didn't buy any clothes - came home with some skincare and two tops my mum bought me.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this admittedly very casual outfit for another day in the office recently. Hybrid ways of working continue at my workplace with most people preferring to work from home, but we all took the opportunity to go into the office on this day so I could meet the Brisbane based people in my new project team. Most of them I've worked with before but it was good to see them all in person after over a year and meet some new faces I hadn't worked with before.

Didn't really want to go full corporate style because it was a cold day. Went with comfortable jeans and Converse and then this pretty fern print tank to dress the outfit up a little. Was good to get this trench coat out again as it didn't see much love last year with the 6 week March 2020 autumn lockdown. It's usually frequently worn for commuting in the colder months. I swapped it for a navy cardigan when I was in the office.

Since I wore this little croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag last time I was in the office, wore it again this time. I liked the deep teal colour against the navy and red print of the tank and it was really nice against the burgundy jeans.


Last worn: trench coat, fern print tank, Tiffany heart necklace, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: trench coat worn 30 ways, fern print tank and pencil skirt, burgundy jeans and kimono, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench coat in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: For King & Country Priceless Australian coin and crest necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta

Why I wore it:

This was actually the cardigan I wore in the office on the day above! Liked it in that outfit so much I created a similar outfit for this quiet day of mum life. The Sass and Bide tank is quite light but the cardigan was thick enough to keep me cosy for the school run. I liked the neutral brown tank and navy cardigan with the bright magenta jeans too. These are such such fun winter staple. Again I went with Converse, blue ones this time to add even more colour to my outfit.

Swapped out the teal Love Too bag for another Rebecca Minkoff bag, this small Edie bag. I thought the magenta was a nice matchy-matchy with the jeans. Didn't need to carry much either, just the school run, then playground and library with the little one and his water bottle fit in the library tote nicely. 

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, coin necklace, brown printed tank, magenta jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff small Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, brown printed tank and metallic jeans, magenta jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff small Edie bag and kimono.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Colourful jeans are a great choice in winter to stay warm while wearing a bright and cheerful outfit. You can add even more interest to your outfit with a cute printed tank and a warm neutral cardigan or coat on top to combat the winter chill too.

30 Ways To Wear a Classic Camel Trench Coat #30wears Challenge

For this month's 30 wears challenge I'm sharing another wardrobe classic, my camel trench coat. It's a must have piece for the cooler weather!

Each month I look through the blog archives and find something I've worn 30 times or more to create this wrap up post showing you 30 ways you can wear a similar piece from your own wardrobe. Inspired by the 30 wears challenge I heard about in The True Cost documentary. It's a challenge to slow your shopping by ensuring each piece you buy will be worn 30 times or more and to reduce the environmental impact of fashion.

30 Ways To Wear: Camel Trench Coat

This trench coat hit 30 wears quite quickly - I don't have a lot of winter coats in my wardrobe so this is worn at least once a week to the office in winter, and on colder spring and autumn days. Unlike in the northern hemisphere where a trench is more of a spring or autumn piece, this cotton twill fully lined trench coat is thick and cosy and perfect for a Brisbane winter!

Cost Per Wear

Worn more than 60 times on the blog I really wish I could remember the price I paid for it to calculate cost per wear. I remember buying it on sale at the outlets when shopping with my mum - it was massively reduced, definitely under $50, as it was out of season and one of the buttons was falling off. I bought it and set it aside for the next winter (after my mum fixed one of the buttons!). I had it before my blog, so more than 8 years ago. Given that I've had it more than 8 years and worn it faithfully every winter, I'm sure it's less than the '$1 per wear' figure most people aim for to get value for money. I'm really pleased with this purchase and don't see me getting rid of this coat any time soon!

Everyone needs a classic camel trench in their wardrobe, and this post covers just some ways you can wear it!

30 Ways To Wear A Camel Trench: Video Style

---

Camel Trench Coat With Burgundy

You'll see a few go-to colour combinations come up in this post! While camel is a great neutral and goes with every colour in my wardrobe, there are a few colour combinations I repeatedly try with this trench. Burgundy is one of them. While I love my burgundy pants with the camel coat, I do like other burgundy pieces like a scarf or dress.

Tench Coat with Monochrome Black Outfits

Black and camel is another frequently worn combination. While I have added in some other colours to these outfits with accessories, the outfits themselves are monochrome black. Classic little black dresses or a black top and pencil skirt together, a camel trench coat is a great topper with a monochromatic black outfit.

Camel Trench Coat and Jeans

While I wear my camel trench coat frequently to the office with more formal outfits, it also looks great worn more casually with jeans. You can see a couple of the outfits here are older ones as I last wore blue jeans 2 years ago! Any colour of denim looks great with this neutral camel trench coat though.

Trench Coat and Printed Outfits

Of course, being a classic neutral shade, a camel trench coat works with all kinds of printed outfits. it's the perfect neutral topper to a colourful print mixing outfit, or an easy choice with a printed dress!

Camel Trench Coat and Sheath Dresses

I love a good sheath dress for the office, but all the ones I have are short sleeved or sleeveless. This trench coat is great topper for cooler weather, it keeps me warm and works perfectly with the prints on the dresses, no matter how bold they are! Just like with the other printed outfit options above. A sheath dress and a trench coat is staple formal office style.

Trench Coat and Pencil Skirts

Another work outfit option, a pencil skirt pairs equally as well with a trench coat as the dresses above. You can go with a classic black one, or have a little more fun with colourful printed or textured pencil skirts. It's the best neutral outfit topper no matter what skirt you wear. This trench coat really does go with everything!

Weekday Wear Linkup: Neutral Dresses, Colourful Scarves and Mulberry Heritage Bayswater Bag

Simple winter workwear for today's Weekday Wear Linkup, adding colour to neutral dresses for the office with bright animal print scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Barkins beige trench coat
Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Earrings: Jeanswest Evy dangly earring
Dress: Jeanswest tucked ponte black dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather (cheaper second hand)

Why I wore it:

This scarf is such a fun statement piece, a classic little black dress is the perfect outfit to let it shine! An impulse $5 sale buy 5 years ago, it's only gotten 8 wears so far but I love it every time I wear it!

The fit and flare dress is sleeveless, so I did my trick of wearing a tee underneath it, but it was much too cold to consider going coat-less for the photos in the morning! You're only missing a plain grey long sleeved tee I wore under the dress. With the bright scarf being such a focal piece I kept everything else in my outfit neutral with the tan ballet flats and Mulberry Bayswater bag.


Last worn: camel trench, neon leopard print scarf, dangly earrings, fit and flare dress, Marc Jacobs ballet flats, Mulberry Bayswater.

Other ways to wear: camel trench and skinny jeans, neon leopard print scarf with grey, fit and flare dress in spring, Marc Jacobs ballet flats and wrap dress, Mulberry Bayswater and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: camel trench in first trimester, neon leopard print scarf in first trimester, fit and flare dress in second trimester, Marc Jacobs ballet flats in third trimester, Mulberry Bayswater in third trimester.

Wear And Tear: Mulberry Bayswater

What I wore:

Scarf: red sheep print Fashion Scarf Girl scarf (similar)
Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Mulberry Bayswater in Oak NVT leather (cheaper second hand)

Why I wore it:

A different kind of animal print scarf, featuring the actual animal! This adorably cute scarf was a Christmas gift from my sister and I love the way the red pops against the grey skater dress and the navy macintosh jacket. It's not the first time I've worn this dress with a red scarf, I really like the combination!

As with the outfit above, I let the scarf make the statement and paired the outfit with my classic, go with anything little black ballet flats and Mulberry oak Bayswater tote bag.


Last worn: navy macintosh, sheep print scarf, grey skater dress, black ballet flats, Mulberry bayswater (above).

Other ways to wear: navy macintosh, sheep print scarf and printed dress, grey skater dress in Disneyland, black ballet flats and jeans, Mulberry bayswater and chambray dress.

How You Can Wear It:

A brightly coloured scarf is a great way to accessorise a classic dress. Changing the scarf makes a little black (or grey!) dress look new each time you wear it. It's a fun and affordable way to accessorise in winter.
