Shift Dresses In Winter With Boots, Scarves and Cross Body Bags

I love to wear my dresses year-round! These shift dresses layer up perfectly for a cooler day. Fleece lined tights and boots are essentials to help you wear them in winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On black knit wrap cardigan

Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Dress: Zara printed bib front tunic dress
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

Wore this to spend the morning in the city with the boys. I'd been a little unsure what to wear but when I saw the #WinterStyleFile outfit on instagram by @emhawkerblog I just had to try replicate it. While I don't have the exact dress, I did have this dress with a similar print that worked quite well I think. The original outfit was a dress and boots by @slowdownstyle. Em added tights, a cardigan and hat so I added a scarf. See all 3 outfits on Instagram.

Even if it was quite warm in the city and I soon shed the layers, I really liked this outfit. every time I wear this dress I love it. I actually managed to tear it a while back, I was tugging to get it out of the washing machine and it had got tangled with something and I heard a rip. Thankfully the tailor could fix it up, as I'm planning on keeping this dress in my wardrobe for a long time. Unbelievably, this is only it's 19th wear. I was sure I'd have worn it more often.


Last worn: black belted cardigan, blue tartan scarf, gold belt, printed shift dress, tan boots, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere bag.

Other ways to wear: black belted cardigan and red jeans, blue tartan scarf and chambray skirt, gold belt and pink maxi, printed shift dress and ankle boots, tan boots and skinny jeans, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: cardigan and hidden early baby bump, tartan scarf in first trimester, gold glitter belt at 38 weeks pregnant, dress in the third trimester, speedy bandouliere and maternity office wear.

Blue Printed Shift Dresses Under $50:

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Dress: Zalora Basics faux leather placket red shift dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This red shift dress was packed away when I outgrew it in pregnancy as it's not breastfeeding friendly. It was so good to get it out and wear it again. I like red and blue together so the cobalt leather jacket seemed like a good choice with it.

I felt a little overdressed for the day care drop off / pick up and working from home, but it was still nice to have a reason to wear this dress again, it's been such a long time since it was last worn. Unboxing and wearing all of my winter pieces and non-breastfeeding pieces made my 6 months without shopping challenge easier to stick too, as it felt like I had 'new items in my wardrobe again!


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, printed snood, red shift dress, Asos Cleo boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket and printed jeans, printed snood and stripes for the office, red shift dress and ankle boots, Asos Cleo boots and boho dress, Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag and chambray.

Perfect for pregnancy: printed snood and second trimester bump, shift dress in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

It's easy to layer up your summer dresses for winter. You can go neutral with black cardigans, fleece tights and tan boots, or you can be a little brighter with a colourful jacket like this cobalt blue one. Layered outfits like this work perfectly at the beginning or near the end of winter when the temperatures vary during the day, as it's easy to take layers off as it heats up.



And just in case you missed it on social media, I ended 7 months without shopping with a pretty spectacular purchase!

Purple Cardi, Grey Shelter Dog Tee, Jeans, Boots, Chloe Paddington | Aztec Print Dress, Sandals, Balenciaga Envelope Clutch

Here's what I wore to run errands and have dinner at a friend's on Saturday:

Cardi: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in Boysenberry
Tee: AWLQ Shelter Dog grey tee
Jeans: Jeanswest blue skinny jeans
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus silver charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


It was a little chilly near the end of the day so I wore a purple cardi over my jeans and tee outfit. Of course it covers up the print on the tee, haha. It says "a shelter dog changed my life...". Had a really nice evening catching up with friends and playing poker. Cooper even 'played'.



Last worn: purple cardi, shelter dog tee, skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots, Chloe paddington bag.

Here's what I wore to spent time with my mum and sister and work at Church Online today:

Leggings: Cotton On
Shoes: Asos metallic Freestyle leather sandals

Had a really nice day today - went to church with the family (where my sister kindly took a blog photo) and then had lunch and a day out with my mum and sister. Came home to work at Church Online in the evening. Had planned to wear jeans but my sister convinced me otherwise, and we both ended up wearing a dress and leggings. Was quite warm in the sun after church, so I was glad I'd chosen the dress!


Last worn: printed dress, leggings, shoes, Balenciaga envelope clutch.

Easy Winter Outfit Formula: Boots, Skinnies, Scarf and Maxi Cardigan

I ended up wearing two very similar outfits in one week. This wool cardi was a great purchase as it's been worn a lot this winter. It works so well with skinny jeans. Just add boots and a cosy scarf and it's an easy stay at home mum winter outfit formula.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan

Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Top: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

This breastfeeding tank was hidden away in my wardrobe - was happy to stumble across it and get it out for another wearing, it's been over a year since the last time. While the majority of the things I wear to breastfeed are just normal tops I can pull up or down, it's nice to have a few dedicated nursing friendly pieces in my wardrobe.

As usual I was rushing around in the morning, trying to get the boys organised for playgroup. I wanted to wear a scarf with this and picked the tan snood as I thought it would compliment the boots well. Completely different shades, but I think they go together nicely.


Last worn: wool cardigan, paisley print snood, bubble tank, skinny jeans, leather boots, Mulberry Alexa.

Other ways to wear: maxi cardigan and flares, paisley print snood and a little red dress, bubble tank in the third trimester, skinny jeans and a khaki tank, leather boots and a boho dress, Mulberry Alexa and a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan

Scarf: gifted navy bird print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Mulberry regular Alexa bag in foggy grey

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore to run out in the morning and do a few quick errands and get more supplies for dealing with a sick toddler. While toddler T is better now and can interact with kids and return to his twice weekly daycare sessions, we were quarantined at home for a while as hand foot and mouth is really contagious between kids. Thankfully adults don't have any symptoms if they do catch it (at most a mild cold) and we managed to prevent toddler T passing it onto his baby brother. My mother in law kindly watched toddler T for a while so I could get out and get everything we were running low on.

I defaulted to that easy outfit formula I'd worn a few days before. The scarf is new, I thought it was nice with the blue jeans and grey top. It was a Christmas present last year and I'm pleased it's cool enough to wear it, I really like the bird print. (Birds like it too apparently!)


Last worn: wool cardigan (above), grey tee, prima skinny jeans, Asos Cleo boots (above), Mulberry Alexa (above). First time I've worn the bird print scarf.

Other ways to wear: wool cardigan and a maxi skirt, grey tee and denim shorts, prima skinny jeans and a kimono, leather boots and a polka dot shirt dress, Mulberry Alexa and leopard print.

Navy and Burgundy: Dresses In Winter With Tights and Boots

After trying and loving navy and burgundy together a while back, I was looking forward to wearing the colour combination again. I stuck with a brown bag this time too, using my Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere instead of my Chloe Paddington bag. The cold weather gave me a chance to wear and enjoy this Jeanswest Mac at last, after buying it for less than $20 in the Cyber Monday sales last year and setting it aside for winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo (purchased last year)

Scarf: Forever New Skye Foil Feather scarf in berry / gold (on sale!)
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress (C/O)
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

While I usually have the 'have to wear it twice in the month after buying it' rule for all new purchases, this jacket is one of the exceptions (along with a dress I outgrew too quickly in pregnancy). With over $120 off, I couldn't resist buying it, knowing it would come in handy for winter as I was selling my old black trench.

Winter weather did take a while to arrive in Brisbane so I waited longer to wear this coat than I expected, but I'm still glad I bought it last year and to be able to wear and enjoy it now, it kept me perfectly cosy.

It was a great topper for my sleeveless chambray dress and the navy is perfect with the burgundy feather print scarf. The style challenge for the day was 'layer player' which worked out perfectly weath-wise as it was a cold and rainy day in Brisbane. We had Baby Boy's weekly weigh in the morning then spent some time with my mum and sister in the afternoon.


Last worn: maroon feather foil scarf, chambray dress, ASOS Cleo boots, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere. First time I've worn the jacket although it was purchased last year.

Other ways to wear: feather print scarf with stripes, chambray dress in spring, ASOS Cleo boots and skinny jeans, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: chambray dress in second trimester, speedy bandouliere and maternity wrap dress.

Chambray Dresses Under $50:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Monica Mac coat in Indigo

Dress: French Connection star dancing jersey dress in red rust/almond
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere
Nails: OPI Russian Navy

Why I wore it:

No style challenge for this one, but another excuse to wear navy and burgundy together again. Since I liked the dress and boots combo above with the navy jacket, I wore it again with black ankle boots and my burgundy jersey dress. It was a pretty quiet day with just a few errands to run, but I did wish I'd added a scarf to this as it was a little chilly in the morning.

This burgundy dress hasn't been worn in awhile - one of those pieces I had boxed away as it's not breastfeeding friendly. Worked well in pregnancy though!

As it's the second time I've worn this jacket and I try to review everything I buy after I've worn it twice, my purchase review:

I like this jacket. I love the colour, it's cosy for winter, and will be perfect for the early morning commutes to the office. The only thing I don't like is how the lapels kinda stick up a bit - but I'm sure that will settle down with more wear. It looks really nice belted (came with a belt) but I haven't been able to wear it that way and still show what I'm wearing underneath it!

Last worn: Jeanswest Mac jacket (above), jersey dress, ankle boots, speedy Bandouliere (above).

Other ways to wear: jersey dress and pistol boots, ankle boots and printed jeans, speedy Bandouliere and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: jersey dress and leggings in third trimester, speedy bandouliere and maternity pencil skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and burgundy look beautiful together, but you could apply this style tip to any colour combination you enjoy. Look at the pieces you have in your wardrobe that will allow you to wear the colours year round. First time I wore navy and burgundy it was with a tank, kimono and pants in autumn. It was easy to wear the same colour combination again in winter with season-appropriate pieces.

While both of these dress and boots outfits include the same navy jacket, by changing the other pieces and sticking to the same colour scheme I've created two outfits that look different while wearing a familiar combination. Thinking of different ways to wear a colour combination you love is a good way to come up with new outfit ideas in your wardrobe, without having to buy anything new.

Leopard Print Scarves, Knits, Skinny Jeans and Balenciaga Bags

When I'm feeling uninspired in winter I reach for cosy layers and jeans. Of course I still want to keep things interesting - that's where my bright scarves come in, to add an extra something to an otherwise simple outfit of a knit and skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Scarf: Supre neon pink leopard print scarf
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH

Why I wore it:

You may notice a slight difference in this photo - or you might not! Being in such a rush in the morning, I didn't get a moment to grab my outfit photos like I usually do. I ended up taking photos when I got home in the afternoon. After I'd visited the priceline pop up store and had false lashes applied for the first time.

Yesterday's fun at the @PricelineAU pop up at Westfield 😅 #falselashes #tryingnewthings pic.twitter.com/BxA8DlzEys

— Mica (@AwayFromTheBlue) July 15, 2018

The lashes felt weird. I went home with a goodie bag (including more false lashes) but I'm not sure I'd be able to apply them again myself, as easy as the lovely lady made it look! Still, fun to try something different.


My outfit was designed to keep me warm as it was such a cold day, so polka dot foil knit with skinny jeans and tall boots. I felt that the neon leopard print scarf worked nicely with the polka dots and added a bit of colour to my outfit, as I had my black Balenciaga part time bag. It was nice to spend an hour or two kid free (and I picked up a couple of Christmas presents for the boys!) while hubby took the boys to swim lessons. I really liked this outfit, as simple as it is.


Last worn: leopard print scarf, polka dot knit, Prima skinny jeans, ASOS Cleo boots, Balenciaga part time bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print scarf and striped skirt, polka dot knit and shorts, Prima skinny jeans and logo tee, ASOS Cleo boots and stripe dress, Balenciaga part time bag and chambray.

Perfect for pregnancy: leopard print scarf hiding an early bump, Prima skinny jeans in second trimester, Balenciaga part time bag in third trimester.

What I wore:

Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (C/O)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet (more affordable preloved)

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula in the first outfit so much, I repeated a similar one again a few days later. I realised I hadn't worn this beautiful ombre knit yet this winter, so felt it was time to give it a wear. I stuck with black skinny jeans again to keep things simple, but unlike the first outfit I added a colourful bag with my colourful leopard print scarf. I thought the purple leopard scarf and pink Balenciaga city bag were fun pops against the otherwise neutral outfit.

I was surprised to see that I hadn't worn this scarf and knit together before, I've worn and loved the ombre knit with my purple skinny jeans in the past.

This knit is an open knit, so I layered a long sleeve tee underneath to keep me cosy. This was the perfect outfit for a morning with the boys at my ABA Mother's group, and then a quick grocery shop afterwards.


Last worn: ombre knit, purple leopard print scarf, Nobody Denim Siren jeans, Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Other ways to wear: ombre knit and printed jeans, purple leopard print scarf and maxi dress, Nobody Denim Siren jeans and embroidered tank, Converse and shorts, Balenciaga sorbet city bag and sheath dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: ombre knit at 40 weeks, purple leopard print scarf in third trimester, Converse for second trimester travel, Balenciaga sorbet city bag in second trimester.

Leopard Print Scarves Under $50:

How You Can Wear It:

Neutral outfits are easy to default to in winter. You can add colour to them with fun scarves like these leopard print ones. You don't have to stick to plain kints when you wear them either - the leopard print works well with the ombre and the polka dots. For an extra pop of colour you could do what I did in the second outfit and introduce another colour through a bright handbag.

Burgundy Pants, Grey Tee, Studded Mouse Flats, Asos Sale Purchases

Relaxing Sunday today :) We had the opportunity to take Cooper out for a walk as the rain stopped this morning. It was nice for him to get out of the house - he doesn't like walking in the rain!

Here's what I wore:

Tee: Asos Square Skinny Sleeve Top in grey
Scarf: black and blue Alexander McQueen paisley print scarf from Matches Fashion (Free delivery worldwide at  Matches Fashion  this weekend using code "FREE" at checkout)
Pants: JeansWest Fiona Skinny Leg pant in Shiraz

Cooper helped out with pictures today, by getting up close to check out the action! haha!

Closeup of accessories:

I also received my latest Asos sale purchases this week - in a giant box! Cooper could easily fit inside! DH was quite worried when he saw the size of the box, but it was because one of my purchases was boots.

Sadly I returned a few things, but below are the sale purchases I kept and plan on wearing soon. If you're looking to buy anything from the Asos sale, you can get an extra 10% off with the code "BONUS10" :)

Here's what I kept:

 ASOS Midi Dress in Lace 

ASOS Satin Singlet in pink


Thank you all for entering the jewelry giveaway - I'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post :)


Sorry for the picture heavy post! Hope you have had a great weekend, and let me know if you nab anything in the Asos sale with the extra discount :)

Dresses, Scarves and Leather Boots for Winter

Here's what I wore to go shopping with baby T:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Dress: Asos grey skater dress (on sale!)
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in black
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag


Just scraping in near the end of the month, my second wear of this Asos skater dress that I bought in July. Wore it out for a morning of shopping with baby T to stock up on more baby-related things. Thought that the bright pink scarf was a nice bit of colour against all the black and grey.

When I made my July purchases, I wanted to evaluate them all on the blog to see what lessons I could gain. The goals were to help me keep my spending in check, make sure I wear the things I buy, and give me some inspiration for what to wear. My verdict on this grey dress:
It's a great, neutral, basic dress, that was on sale and in a flattering silhouette (skater style dresses are good for post-baby bodies!) so it should have been a winner. I find myself wanting to pass by this dress in my wardrobe though, and had to keep trying to remember to wear it. I love grey clothes and I love dresses...thinking about why I didn't want to wear this, I've realised that I have very few neutral, basic dresses in my wardrobe. I tend to buy and wear more printed dresses, the neutral ones just seem too basic and don't get worn a lot. Something I'm going to try to change with the addition of this grey dress to my wardrobe, but also a preference I've never really noticed before I set myself the task of evaluating what I buy. Will be interesting to see how long it takes me to wear this dress again, and if I keep passing it by for more 'exciting' dresses. An eye-opening purchase, but I can't be sure I'll actually wear it often.


Last worn: sunglasses, printed leather jacket, pink and yellow skull scarf, grey skater dress, leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs baby bag.

Here's what I wore to have a picnic in the park:

Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag


In complete contrast to the grey dress, this striped tee dress that I bought in July I completely adore and I've had to stop myself from wearing it too often so I could meet my goal of wearing all my purchases twice this month! Thought the stripes would pair really nicely with the paisley print of the snood. Felt comfortable and happy in this outfit all day.

Baby T, Cooper and I went to a little picnic in the park with some other mummies for a meet and greet. It was so fun being surrounded by so many cute (and talented!) babies and wonderful to have some adult conversation and compare notes on pregnancy, birth, feeding, sleeping and milestones. Was glad I'd worn my thicker legging-like tights, as although baby T can't wander far, Cooper had me moving around quite frequently and I did have to tug my dress back down once or twice!


Last worn: Wayfarers (see above), paisley print snood, striped tee dress, leather boots, Marc by Marc Jacobs baby bag(see above).

Trench, Red Dress, Owl Scarf, Heels, Grey MAM | Leather Jacket, Shift Dress, Boots, Alxander Wang Rocco

Here's what I wore to work on Monday:

Jacket: Temt Black trench coat 
Scarf: Liquorish owl print scarf in grey
Dress: Asos tulip skirt dress in red
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Bloomy' black heels
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly Double tour bracelet in rubis, gifted Balenciaga classic pearly grey double tour bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Nice colourful red dress to kick off the week. My Monday actually started off okay, despite the rain. Had a meeting first thing, and we were provided with cupcakes! Good way to start a day full of meetings. :)
Also had to give a presentation in the afternoon, so wore heels for a bit of a confidence boost. A few of us in the office are learning, practising, and getting some pointers on presenting. It's terrifying, but helpful too. My first attempt was recorded and it's so awkward to watch, but good to see so many things I can improve. Got a lot of constructive feedback as well. Hopefully over time I'll get over my fear of public speaking!


Last worn: Black trench coat, owl print scarf, red Asos dress, Wittner ankle-strap heels, RM mini Morning After Bag.

The cold and rainy weather continued today, so I decided to wear boots with this dress. I'm never too sure if long boots are too casual for the office or not? I've seen a few ladies at work wearing them, and they are very practical in this weather so gave them a go today. For a day without meetings it seemed okay. Tied my scarf a new way a colleague taught me yesterday, sits so nice with the opening of the jacket.

What do you think of the boots and dress combo as office wear?

Thank you to those who wrote lovely comments about my friend Nancy on yesterday's post. I feel so badly for her being in this situation.

Was cold today so I decided to wear leggings under my dress instead of tights. Remember leggings aren't pants! ;) I like how it's styled at asos with bare legs, will need to try that on a warmer day.

Thought the belt was a good idea this morning but reviewing the photos I'm not so sure, maybe I should have left the dress loose and un-belted. What do you think?
