Navy Stripe Shift Dresses, Boots and Suede Maxi Edie Crossbody Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, getting out my long sleeved navy stripe dresses again and layering them up a little for the cooler weather. Accessorising both outfits with my latest bag buy, this preloved Rebecca Minkoff maxi Edie crossbody.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

It was another really cold morning when I wore this for the school run and working from home. I'd planned to wear this white striped tee dress with sneakers, but realised that morning I needed extra layers, so added this Witchery leather jacket (a recent Gladrags market find) and my tall leather boots to try keep me cosy. Also went big on the accessories for a bit of fun, with this chunky gold statement necklace matching the chunky chain on the Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag well in terms of chunkiness. Even if they are different shades of gold I thought they complimented each other nicely.


Last worn: Witchery belted leather jacket, white and navy striped shift dress, tall leather boots. First time I've worn the gold statement necklace and Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag as they are recent purchases.

BagRebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede


Why I wore it:

Same outfit formula with the statement necklace, boots, and a navy striped shift dress, I just wore this into the office. Finally caved and pulled out my fleece tights for a cold winter morning! With them and my ankle boots I felt warm enough with just a grey blazer on top. The blazer made the outfit feel a little more office friendly. I liked the pop of red from the necklace with the neutral grey and navy too.

Again I wore my suede maxi Edie bag, I love it! Even though I don't need to carry much to work I've been enjoying wearing this new-to-me bag lately.

Denim: Blue Dresses, Ankle Boots and Magenta Edie Crossbody Bag

I never tire of blue and pink together! I really like wearing this little magenta Edie crossbody bag with some of the many blue dresses in my wardrobe. Despite the different dresses here, I think it works so well with both!


What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

Wore this for my May wardrobe clear out stall at Gladrags markets in Bulimba. It was a lot of fun. I made a lot more sales than my first market, and I ventured out of my stall a few times to wander through the hall. I ended up spending some of my earnings with the other sellers, but I got some great bargains too!

While this dress was maybe not the most practical choice for setting up my clothes racks, it was definitely very comfortable, and with the leather ankle boots the thick denim kept me cosy on a colder morning. I wasn't sure what necklace to wear with this, so opted for statement earrings instead.

Once again, the little Edie crossbody bag came in perfect for holding my essentials as well as a little cash float for my stall. I like how organised it is inside with the different compartments.

After my success at the markets that morning, I then took my son over to his friend's house for a playdate that afternoon.

BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

Another day where it was warm enough to go bare-legged, even if I did have a slip under this dress and added the denim jacket on top for a little extra warmth! I liked this simple outfit for the school run and working from home. A dress is such an easy instant outfit, even when you do add an extra layer like a jacket to it.

I was also surprised to find that I haven't worn this magenta Edie crossbody bag with this navy printed dress before! I have worn this dress in the past with a lot of pink bags, but not this one yet, even though this dress is on its 28th wear. I'm hoping to do a 30 wears post with it later this year, when the weather is warm enough to get it out again!

Prints, Skinny Jeans and Tees With Louis Vuitton Neverfull

Simple outfits for some warmer days recently. Classic jeans and tee combos with statement flat bead necklaces, printed cover ups, sneakers, and my Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote.


What I wore:


printed cover up navy tee and Louis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull | awayfromtheblue


JacketThe Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

While we had a cold end to autumn in Brisbane, winter actually brought some warmer weather, so it was time to swap my knits and leather jackets back to lighter cover ups, like this fun colourful printed one. The red in the print it doesn't quite match the coral necklace, but they both add a nice bit of colour to this otherwise dark navy tee and faded black jeans combination.

I see the Louis Vuitton damier azur Neverfull as a neutral really, so didn't mind that mixed print against the already mixed prints in my cover up. This was the perfect outfit for a strangely warm winter day with the school run, working from home, and a quick errand after school.


Last worn: printed cover up, navy tee, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Louis Vuitton MM Neverfull. First time I've shared the necklace as it was a recent purchase.

Necklace:  thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

This was a much more colourful outfit than the one above! While this fun tropical print cover up is bright and bold enough on its own, something about it just makes me so happy pairing it with other bright colours, like the hot pink tank last time I wore it, and this orange tee this time around. The white jeans were a good way to balance out the bright topper and tee, and went nicely with the Louis Vuitton Neverfull.

Picked the comfortable sneakers for a day with a lot of walking, not just because they matched my flat beaded necklace! We took the kids to the museum in the morning, to see the largest dinosaur ever discovered. After a little stroll through Southbank and the city, we went to an Army open day where the kids got to climb on all the vehicles and enjoy some rides. It was such good weather for it too!

Chloe Marcie Bag With Skirts, Ankle Boots And Wine Tops | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing these two similar outfits I wore recently. Both have boots, skirts, wine tops, an extra layer, and my Chloe Marcie bag. But they look very different!


What I wore:

leather jacket, ankle boots, animal print skirt and burgundy knit | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut with leopard print skirt | awayfromtheblue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket (new purchase)
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was a very cold morning for the school run and I regretted the decision to go bare legged and not add some leggings under this skirt! The burgundy knit was an opshop find and is a polyester knit, so I thought it would keep me warmer than it did, even with the leather jacket on top. While I thrifted the jumper a while back, I've just been waiting for the right weather to wear it and I knew it would look so cute with this leopard print skirt.

The leather jacket was a recent buy from the Gladrags market I went to in May - I spent some of my takings in some other stalls, and for $30 I was not going to pass up this buttery soft leather jacket. It came in handy with the cold weather snap in Brisbane. Even if it did warm up massively by school pick up in the afternoon, where I left the leather jacket at home, pushed up the sleeves on my knit and was grateful I hadn't added leggings that morning!


Last worn: leopard print skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the knit as it was a summer purchase, and first time I've worn the leather jacket as I bought it recently.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and teeblack ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! I started work a little later so I could join my youngest in a special free play day at school. It was so good seeing him running around playing with all his friends, even if I did spend a little too much time dodging tennis balls and basketballs on the courts, he had a blast!

As it was a cooler morning (thankfully not as cold as the one above) I layered up this ochre maxi skirt with my classic denim jacket and my tan ankle boots. I liked this deep orange skirt with a burgundy tee last time I tired the combination, so thought I would give it a go with this tee. It's really more purple than burgundy - wine is a very fitting name for the colour - but I still enjoyed this combination, especially with the extra pop of colour from the yellow tassel necklace.

The Chloe Marcie always looks great with a denim jacket, and I needed something big enough to hold a water bottle as I followed my son around all the different fun stations set up around the school.

Floral Print Dresses With Boots and Cream Chloe Paddington Bags

Two floral dress outfits for autumn with ankle boots and little cream Chloe Paddington bags. One outfit for daytime, the other for a rare date night evening out.


What I wore:


autumn leaves print dress, Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper glass beaded chandelier earring in cream and gold
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus silver vintage charm bracelet
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

Given that this dress is called the autumn leaves print I figured I should give it a wear in autumn! With the ankle boots it was perfect for lunch with my family down the coast. I thought that the cream beaded statement earrings were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the little Chloe Paddington bag too. The cream is a very different shade from the whites and peaches in the dress print, but I still really like this bag and dress together.

As we were just heading down the coast for lunch and I didn't need to carry much, this little bag was perfect.


Last worn: Jaase tiered dress, cream statement earrings, tan ankle boots, Chloe small Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearJaase tiered dress and leather jacket, tan ankle boots and midi dress, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

What I wore:


black dress, Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic | awayfromtheblue


JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: embossed tan leather belt from my Mum's wardrobe
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington clutch in mastic


Why I wore it:

Date night outfit! I layered up with the tall leather boots and the leather jacket over this fun floral print dress. It is on its seventh wear, which is giving me great cost per wear as it was a $2 Kmart clearance find last year! I wanted to dress up a bit with a dress, but also wanted to be warm, so this was the perfect outfit.

We had a bit of an early date night for our wedding anniversary, enjoying dinner and a little stroll along the river (the leather jacket was definitely a good choice!) before enjoying a show at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. It was a lot of fun to go out kid free for a night. I dug out my old Chloe Paddington clutch bag - I wore this on my wedding day, and it has so much sentimental value, even if it's been a while since I last wore it.

It's definitely a date night only clutch - barely fits my phone, some cards and lipstick in it, as it's from pre-smart phone days, haha!

Printed Tanks, Blazers and Skinny Jeans For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing another two office outfits I wore recently, with skinny jeans and blazers. Both feature a little touch of orange too, and my classic neutral Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


What I wore:




Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Rowena print tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

With this brown printed tank and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a pretty dark outfit. The orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with it to brighten it up a bit, and make this tank more office appropriate by covering up my shoulders. While the peach in the necklace doesn't match the orange blazer at all I thought they looked nice together, and it was another way to introduce a bit more lightness to my outfit.

The Chloe Marcie bag wasn't really needed - I don't carry much to the office other than the essentials, and I have a work issued laptop bag for my laptop, so I usually take smaller bags to the office. But I'd used this bag the day before and it was easier to use it again than swap out all my things into a new bag.


Last worn: orange blazer, beaded tassel necklace, printed tank, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Chloe Marcie Hobo Bag Review:




What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Thankfully it wasn't yet too cold when I wore this outfit - it was before the record breaking cold we had in Brisbane. So cropped jeans and a 3/4 sleeve blazer were perfect for the temps.

Again, I really liked the blazer and jeans combination. This one is more colourful than the first outfit, with the bright printed peplum tank and the blush blazer. Surprisingly I haven't tried the blazer and tank together before, despite the matching blush in the bird print! I really liked the combination.

Couldn't quite decide on a necklace with this, in the end I decided to go for a pop of colour and added this little peach one I thrifted earlier this year. Orange is such a cheerful colour to add into an outfit.


Last worn: blush blazer, bird print peplum tank, peach necklace, white skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag (above).

What I Bought In May & How I've Worn It: Preloved Purchases

After not buying anything for my wardrobe in January and February, I have been impulse buying a lot these past few months! Picked up some things in March and April, and now I've tripled what I spent over both those months with my latest buys in May!


What I Bought:





Why I Bought It:

Everything except the bag was purchased at Gladrags markets. It was a cold morning so I did a few laps around the market to keep warm, instead of sitting in my stall all the time. I ended up chatting to some of the other stall holders and making a few too good to pass up buys. Still made more than I spent, so a good day, and I got some incredible bargains too!

The handbag was an impulse buy as well - I've been looking at this style when it goes on sale quite often on the Rebecca Minkoff site, but even the sale prices didn't drop enough to make me buy. When I stumbled across this on eBay, ticking off a style I wanted to try, and a fabric I wanted to try (I don't have any suede bags in my wardrobe), I knew this was a keeper!


How I've Worn It:



Gladrags Markets was at the end of May, so I haven't had as many opportunities as I'd like to wear everything I bought. Even if it takes me a few days longer to hit my goals of wearing everything I buy twice in the month I bought it though, I've managed to wear everything at least once which is awesome.

The leather jacket was a very timely buy with our record breaking cold temps at the end of autumn - it's kept me very cosy! And I've managed to wear the bag 3 times too.



I can definitely see I've been increasing my spending since the start of the year. With that stall at Gladrags markets I'm being a bit more critical with my wardrobe, so that even if I haven't reached my 30 wear goal with some pieces, I'm creating a wardrobe full of things I love to wear and letting those that don't work for me go on to new homes. And it's so much fun seeing who your pieces go home with when you have a market stall!

Cardigans, Converse and Colourful Jeans With Striped Tees And Yellow Bags

Proper autumn weather in Brisbane meant getting out my knits and jeans! I have quite a collection of colourful jeans, and I like them as an alternative to the traditional blue denim. While both of these outfits are very different colours, I like the fun yellow bags with both.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! While there was the usual routine of the school run and working from home for me, we had a few errands to run in the afternoon, and we had a big makeover of the stick insect enclosures at home that evening. That was the only time I regretted wearing this cute grey cardigan, as the ties on it kept getting tangled up in the branches and leaves! It was just the perfect light weight for the rest of the day, just got a bit messy at home that evening!

I think this is the first time I've tried the trio of orange and pink and yellow together. I really like yellow and pink together, the mustard bag looks so good with the magenta jeans. I thought the orange striped tee would be a fun touch with the magenta, but you really don't notice it too much. It made this colourful trio a lot more easy to wear, it didn't feel too bold!


Last worn: grey wrap cardigan, orange stripe tee, marble necklace, magenta Sass and Bide jeans, white Converse, mustard micro Regan bag.

Ways to Wear Colourful Bags:





What I wore:


green jeans with  Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip  | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

I needed this cosy black cocoon cardigan in the morning, but later in the day it had warmed up enough that I didn't need it! I left it in the car when I took a little break from working from home to go see my son get an award at school in the afternoon. While the green jeans and the yellow bag are quite a bright combination, the navy striped tee was a good neutral. 

Looking at the photos though, I probably should have tried tucking this tee in. These jeans are low waisted so I don't do that too often, and with the long cardigan I thought the tee untucked would work better, but if I wore this again I'd definitely tuck in the tee at the front.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy Coca-Cola tee, green skinny jeans, black Converse, yellow mini 5-zip bag.
