Tiered Printed Sundresses, Sneakers and Denim Jacket

Denim jackets and sundresses for spring again! Paired with sneakers, this is a staple Spring outfit formula for me.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace plus thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Family lunch with my parents and a few errands. Dressed up for a relaxed lunch with this pretty printed dress and added the denim moto jacket on top to keep me warm in the air-con inside, it was definitely warm enough outside that I didn't need it outdoors!

Thought the little yellow necklace would be nice with the pastel peach print on the dress, and the little yellow mini 5-zip bag was then an obvious matchy-matchy choice. It's just a shame my hair obscures the second necklace I tried layering with!

I liked how the blue of these Converse complimented the pale blue wash of the denim moto jacket too.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, Tiffany heart necklace, yellow pendant necklace, tiered sundress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip.

What I wore:



Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual


Why I wore it:

Wore this when we went out for dinner during out little staycation at Seaworld resort. After running around at the theme park all day it was nice to get dressed up a little for dinner. Even if I didn't bring a clutch or any different shoes and just threw on my denim jacket to add a little warmth. I hadn't needed the jacket during the day, but I was glad I'd brought it in the evening when we went to dinner! And no-one noticed the casual sneakers once we were seated at the table. 

My wallet worked well as a clutch to hold the essential cards and our room key. It would have been nice to have brought the right accessories and been a little more dressed up, but I was comfortable enough and it was nice to travel light and not over-pack for once. We had a garden view room, as you can see off the balcony, and we nearly missed our dinner reservation as the boys were having so much fun playing in the maze you see behind me!


Last worn: denim jacket, Tiffany necklace, black tiered sundress, Sketchers sneakers.

Navy Dresses And Metallic Accessories

Wearing two navy dresses with metallic accessories for two different spring days recently.


What I wore:




Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in red and yellow and orange
BagRebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold 


Why I wore it:

We spent the afternoon down the coast with my parents, so I dressed up this go-to floral print Jaase dress with the metallic gold envelope clutch and the rose gold sandals. Even though the shades of gold don't match I felt they were far enough apart that they worked. I hadn't worn these resin bracelets for a while so got them out again - I liked the yellow, red and orange as it was similar to the autumn leaves in the print of the dress.

Instead of adding a necklace, just went with some large but slightly hard to see earrings, these circular ones are a lovely mix of neutrals but it means they get a bit hidden in my hair!


Last worn: Jaase dress, round earrings, resin bracelets, gold sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch.
 
Other ways to wearJaase dress and denim jacket, gold sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and maxi dress.






What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Why I wore it:

This was a much busier day than the day above! I changed my hours for working from home so I could start and finish up a little earlier - had to take Cooper to the vets and then I had to pick the kids up from school to take them to the dentist in the afternoon. Needed a nice simple outfit, so went with this Kmart navy tiered dress that I'm surprised hasn't been worn more recently, I love it!

Just like the outfit above, I added metallic accessories with the silver Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the silver necklace. Comfortable sneakers with the Adidas Superstar for a bit of driving around, and the denim jacket because it was a little too cold a spring day to wear this short sleeve dress with bare arms and legs.


Last worn: denim moto jacket, silver necklace, navy tiered dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, silver mini MAC.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and skirt, navy tiered dress and duster, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans, silver mini MAC and shorts.

Spring Skirts And Denim jackets With Neon Pink Bag

Two denim jackets and skirts outfits for spring, with neutral tees and some very bright accessories. My neon pink mini MAC really adds a pop to an outfit!


What I wore:




Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tee: thrifted black scoop neck H&M tee
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC


Why I wore it:

Enjoying the warm weekend weather and running a couple of errands with the kids. We had a packed day with errands to run and a kid's birthday party in the afternoon. As it was a warmer day, I got this cute little skirt out that I picked up in the end of summer sales - was great to give it a wear again!

I kept it simple with the black tee and denim jacket, but then added a lot of fun colour with the chartreuse necklace and the neon pink mini MAC bag, as I didn't have to carry more than the essentials.


Last worn: denim jacket, black tee, statement necklace, wrap bracelet, animal print skirt, Converse, neon pink mini MAC.

What I wore:




JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings (new purchase, charity fundraiser)
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC


Why I wore it:

I thrifted this skirt last summer and feel I didn't get to give it a lot of wear before the weather cooled off. This is only it's forth wear and I'm not sure why, I love the button detail and the paperbag waist. I kept it simple (like all the other times I've worn this skirt) with a neutral tee - this grey tunic is a good basic. I added the white denim jacket as it was a little chilly on the school run that morning, although I didn't need it in the afternoon when we headed to the park after school. With the neutral white Adidas Superstar sneakers and the neutral necklace, the Rebecca Minkoff neon mini MAC bag was again a fun pop of pink. I wasn't sure about the rust and neon pink together but I'm glad I gave it a go as I really liked it.

As all I had to do was the school run, working from home, and then a couple errands and a park playdate in the afternoon, the little mini MAC was all I needed to carry.


Last worn: white denim jacket, grey tunic tee, statement necklace, linen skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (above). First time I've shared the earrings on the blog as they are a recent purchase.

Leather Jackets And Dresses

Making these two dresses suitable for winter temperatures with the black leather jacket I recently bought at Gladrags Markets. The first outfit, I wore this month and could go bare legged, the second I wore back in July when it was a lot colder and fleece lined tights were a must!


What I wore:

Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress, leather jacket and skull scarf | awayfromblue

thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Spent some time with my mum and sister in the morning, getting haircuts (just a trim for me, as I'm still desperately trying to grow my hair out to donate again) and doing some dress shopping for an upcoming event.

Unfortunately the traffic coming back from up the coast made me a little late for dinner with some mum friends in the evening. I wasn't sure how long I'd be down the coast for so dressed for both things in case I didn't have time to change, thankfully. I didn't need the leather jacket for most of the day but I was so grateful for it at night, as it and the skull scarf kept me warm. 


Last worn: black leather jacket, skull scarf, earrings, tiered denim dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

A super cold morning meant layering up this little light pastel floral print viscose babydoll dress a bit for the school run and some errands. With the black fleece lined tights, black ankle boots and the black leather jacket and dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, I feel the pretty pastel floral print on this dress stands out really well. I added a little bit of matching with the floral print with my daisy earrings, although the colours are completely different I liked the additional florals against all the dark black.

Pink Tiered Dresses With Navy Suede Moto Jacket

Wearing this navy suede moto jacket as a cosy topper with these pink tiered dresses to make them a little warmer for winter.


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

This was my outfit for the Barbie movie! It was so much fun, we went as a big group to the premiere at the local cinema, and I loved the movie. Of course we had to get dressed up in pink! I knew this dress would be the one I'd wear right away although I did have to wear a slip underneath and add the suede moto jacket and tall leather boots to keep me warm for the late night showing. This was a really quick outfit to get together when I got home from work before dashing out to the cinema.

I knew for the Barbie movie I'd need some fun accessories - with the big statement necklace and the statement padlock on my little Chloe Paddington bag I think they were perfect for the evening.

Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I wore this for another morning at the local markets, selling more of my wardrobe. I ended up in a really good location under the shade, which made it a bit chilly, but meant I did manage to offload quite a few scarves, haha! I had a slip under this tiered maxi dress and I knew the suede jacket would keep me warm for the morning too. I had my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers for all the running around setting up and then dismantling my stall.

I did make a couple purchases from some other stalls with my takings - one particularly cute pair of earrings, but I'll need to make a note of the lady's business name next time I go back as I didn't write it down unfortunately. I did have a lot of success with my stall though, always good to make more space in my wardrobe!

Printed Scarves, Cosy Knits, Sneakers and Jeans

Layering up in some cosy knits and printed scarves recently, and wearing a few more of the pieces I added to my wardrobe in July.


What I wore:




Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings (new purchase)
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl mixed print polka dots and stripes scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I am sure I've worn this scarf before but have had no luck finding it on the blog. I do have quite a few Fashion Scarf girl scarves to look through though! With the cobalt knit and these white jeans, I felt the outfit needed a little extra something, and this blueish grey scarf with the white stripes and polka dots was the perfect mixed print.

Nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after school pick up.


Last worn: cobalt knit, white jeans, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bagFirst time I've worn the earrings as they were a recent purchase from the markets.

Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet

Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! there were a few things on in the city for the weekend so the kids and I took a little trip. Managed to stop by my new office too and show them some of the sights, you get a good view of Brisbane from there!

As we had a lot of walking around to do I went with the Sketchers sneakers again! Nice and simple and comfortable for exploring the city with the kids.

I wasn't sure at first if the different burgundy shades in the scarf and jeans would work well together, but I'm glad I gave this a try as I really liked this outfit. Just like the one above, jeans and a jumper is so simple, and with a little extra print or colour form a scarf it helped me feel more pulled together.

Printed Dresses With Boots and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Getting my printed dresses out again for winter. While both these dresses have long sleeves, leggings and boots were a definite must have as they are quite light. I also had a slip on under each dress for extra warmth, and of course a jacket on top to keep warm.


What I wore:


thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This navy suede jacket I got for Christmas I thought would be a lovely pairing with this navy tile print dress, but the jacket looks almost black here. It certainly kept me cosy in the cold morning though! I wore this for the school run and a quick errand, before working from home and picking up the kids again in the afternoon.

With the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, and the black ankle boots too, this felt like a really dark outfit, even with the white on the print of the dress. Good for this overcast winter day in Brisbane!

DressZaful floral print ruffle hem dress in ginger
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, this is a lot more colourful! This dress hasn't been worn in a while so was definitely due a repeat wear, and I really like it with leggings underneath. I had to double up the sleeves a bit of get this denim jacket on top - the dress has long statement sleeves, that is sadly hidden by the jacket, but I needed the extra warmth from the jacket, especially on the cold morning.

With the comfortable and cosy tall leather boots as well, this was a great outfit for family fun day at church. The kids had a blast enjoying all the yummy food, playing games, and bouncing around on the jumping castle after the service. It was very difficult to pull them away to head home!

The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that I still haven't stopped using and loving since I thrifted it, was perfect for storing all my essentials plus our water bottles for the day.

White Denim Jacket With Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots And Statement Necklaces

A sunny winter weekend gave me the chance to wear some pretty floral dresses. Both dresses only needed ankle boots and my white denim jacket to make them cosy enough for spending most of our time indoors.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral


Why I wore it:

I love the way this Jaase floral and leaf print dress looks with ankle boots. It's such a pretty dress! I've worn it with denim jackets before, but this is the first time I've paired it with the white one, Given how it matches the white in the print so well, I'm surprised I haven't worn the dress and jacket together sooner!

We had a kids birthday party to attend, so I just needed my essentials which meant this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag was the perfect accessory. Just like the red statement necklace, it doesn't exactly match the colours in the print of the dress, but I think the accessories complimented the print nicely. This was such a comfortable outfit for a loud and busy (but fun!) party.


Last worn: white denim jacket, red statement necklace, Jaase dresstan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wearwhite denim jacket and maxi dress, Jaase dress and leather jacket, ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and matching tee.





What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


JacketCotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink (recent purchase)
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

Copied the outfit formula above for a busy morning, and then getting to spend some time relaxing and chatting at book club in the afternoon. While it was a warm day, I knew the denim jacket and boots would be much appreciated in the evening. It did start getting a little chilly later in the evening as we were sitting outside for book club, but that was a good sign we should probably wrap up and head home!

Just like the last time I wore this statement gold beaded necklace, I wanted to pair it with the equally chunky chain on this Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag. I like the combination even though the metals are not a match.

It was my first time wearing this pretty floral print maxi dress I scored from the Gladrags markets, so it made sense to wear it with some of the accessories I picked up at that market too, with the gold necklace and the Mimco bracelet stack. It's a lot of big accessories, but it was fun wearing them all together.


Last worn: white denim jacket (above), gold bib necklace, tan leather boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag. First time I've worn the dress and bracelet stack as they were recent purchases.

Textured Jackets and Tiered Dresses

Making the most of warmer winter days in Brisbane by layering up some lighter dresses with a couple of heavier jackets to combat the chill in the mornings and evenings. These Kmart tiered midi dresses are wardrobe staples for me, and something I've had on frequent repeat in the warmer weather. With the addition of some textured jackets, they work into winter too.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate mother's day with the family. In the afternoon we headed down the coast for a pizza night at my parents. It was a lot of fun! This bright fuchsia pink tiered midi dress is a firm favourite of mine, and I love how it looks with blue, so the blue beaded necklace and quilted Edie shoulder bag were obvious pairings with it. Because we were having dinner and I knew it would be colder at night, I wore this jacquard jacket that hadn't been worn in a while. I liked the texture and stripes against the plain block colour of the dress. 

Comfortable Converse for the drive down the coast too.


Last worn: jacquard jacket, fuchsia tiered midi dress, beaded necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearjacquard jacket and jeans, fuchsia tiered midi dress with yellow, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and printed jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I pulled out one of my other Kmart tiered midi dresses to recreate a similar look, again with Converse, and another textured jacket from my wardrobe. With the black necklace, black Converse and black jacket, I wasn't sure the orange dress was the best choice at first. I always worry too much orange and black together is Halloween-ish. But I ended up really liking this outfit. 

It was a school run and work from home day, so I only needed to carry this little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for all my essentials. I liked the neutral silver against the orange dress too.
