Pink and Purple Denim Skirt and Tee Outfits With Floral Prints

Two different Target stretch denim pencil skirt outfits with pink and purple. While these outfits follow a very similar outfit formula, I liked how different both turned out.


What I wore:






Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Earrings: Kmart glitter gingerbread man earrings
Tee: Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in tulip pink
Skirt: Target classic denim skirt in white
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

I wanted a comfortable but practical outfit for my annual Christmas shopping day out with my mum and sister. Decided on this white denim skirt, as I was out most of the day and didn't have to worry about wet doggy footprints on the white denim! The white Adidas Superstar sneakers were a nice comfortable choice for a day walking around all the shops, getting the bulk of my Christmas shopping done. Just a couple things I've ordered online that I'm waiting for now.

As we often buy each other things while out shopping, I thought a skirt and tee was a good outfit for trying things on. We did try on a few things too so I was glad I wore this outfit. I didn't add a necklace as I had my big glittery gingerbread statement earrings, and with the purple floral print on the cover up I felt the earrings and floral print added enough interest on their own.

Although the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag isn't an exact match with the purple in the print, I really liked it with this outfit, and I only needed the essentials on our shopping trip anyway.

Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:


Since I liked the pink and purple skirt and tee combination above so much, I wore it again, this time with my black Target denim skirt. This one was an opshop find. I really liked the purple tee with it, it's such a bold colour. Also wanted to add a necklace to this outfit as while I was also wearing statement gingerbread earrings in this outfit, they are a smaller set than the one above. With the blush pink necklace, and the pink floral print of the white cover up and the sorbet pink of the Balenciaga city bag, there was a lot of pink in this outfit, but I think all the shades of the colour worked so nicely together.

It was a good outfit for a hot day, with church in the morning, and then a kids bowling party in the afternoon.

Black Blouses, Jeans, and Pink Bags

Two black blouse, jeans, and pink bag outfits I wore to the office recently.


What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Sometimes I struggle a bit picking a necklace for this blouse, but this pretty fuchsia statement necklace was perfect with it! I felt it added a pop of colour to the black blouse and grey jeans outfit even when I wasn't carrying around my pink Balenciaga city bag. That does add a big pop of colour too, but I don't carry it around the office, it sits on my desk.

Although the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag and fuchsia necklace are different shades of pink, I thought they worked well together with the neutral outfit. I really liked the simplicity of this outfit, felt great in this all day.


Last worn: beaded necklace, batwing blouse, grey skinny jeans, black Converse, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

What I wore:






NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
TopJeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony


Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. Although the pink jeans are comfortable and the black blouse is a good basic piece, I just didn't enjoy wearing this as much as the outfit above. It's a shame this top isn't worn more often, being a black long sleeve blouse it's such a good basic. It just always seems to get passed over for more interesting tops. It's actually not been worn in years, so it's a piece that will be leaving my wardrobe. I'll donate it to the opshop.

Again I added another shade of pink to this outfit with the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag. It's not the same shade of pink as the jeans, but like the two different shades in the first outfit, I think the pinks looked good together. Simple outfit for another office day, even if I didn't like this as much as the first outfit.


Last worn: button detail blouse, Tiffany necklace, pink jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Other ways to wearbutton detail blouse and skirt, pink jeans and knit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: button detail blouse in third trimester.

Knits and Maxi Skirts

Making some of my maxi skirts work in Brisbane's winter by adding some cosy knitted jumpers on top for colourful winter outfits.


What I wore:



Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

This was a fun weekend day! I thought it might have been a bit too chilly to wear this maxi skirt but with the thick burgundy ribbed knit jumper on top, I felt nice and warm. I've worn the ochre maxi skirt with reds and burgundy shades before, I really like the combination and I loved this darker wine coloured burgundy knit against the orange, especially with the black and gold accessories.

We had a few errands to run in the morning, my son had some birthday gift cards to spend as he had picked what he wanted to use the cards on, so we did that and then took Bonnie to her last puppy training class. She graduated, very proud of her! She was surrendered twice to the shelter before we adopted her so it's awesome to see how much she is learning and growing with us.


Last worn: burgundy knit, heart and pearl earrings, double circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearburgundy knit and leopard print, ochre maxi skirt and cami, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:




Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Another warm but colourful outfit! I wasn't sure if the cobalt marle knit and leopard print maxi skirt and pink skull scarf was too busy of an outfit all together, but I did really like the matching pink of the scarf and bag with this so gave it a go. I probably wouldn't wear the scarf and skirt together again, as it's a lot of print, but I'm glad I gave it a try at least.

Again it was a chilly and windy day, this cobalt knit was a great topper over the leopard print maxi skirt and I was warm for the school run, working from home, and then taking the kids out for a quick errand after school pick up.

Pink and Leopard Print Outfits With Sorbet Balenciaga City Bag

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


What I wore:





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


Why I wore it:

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

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


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

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


Why I wore it:

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

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


Last worn: ombre pink tee, beaded necklace, leopard print skirt, tan slides, Balenciaga sorbet city bag (above).

Pink and Turquoise Outfits With Denim Skirts and Balenciaga City Bag

Some colourful pink and turquoise outfits I wore recently. Pairing my recently thrifted cover ups with a couple of classic Target denim skirts.


What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt

Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

The perfect comfy Sunday outfit! A simple tank, denim skirt, Superstar sneakers, and a very cute and colourful cover up. We had a quiet morning, and in the afternoon headed out to a mum's group event at a café we hadn't been to before. We will definitely be back, I enjoyed the location and conversation and the kids loved all of the fun things to explore.

With this bright cover up, I went a little matchy-matchy with the turquoise tassel necklace. The blue earrings hadn't been worn in a while and were also a good match to the blue in the print. Last time I wore this cover up I paired it with pink, so I picked a bright pink bag, this Balenciaga sorbet city, which I absolutely loved the colour combination of. Handy for all our water bottles when we went out too!


Last worn: blue earrings, printed tassel trim cover up, metallic tank, tassel necklace, black denim skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Again with the turquoise and pink! I really love this combination, and the cover up makes it so easy to wear that combination, having both the colours in the print! Wore another classic target denim skirt, a white one this time, and a brighter tank, this turquoise one that was overdue a wear. I really like how bright this outfit was. I stuck with comfortable sneakers as after the school run and working from home we had a couple of errands to run.

I got to surprise my son at his event at school in the afternoon by wrapping up work a little early. Wearing this bright outfit he certainly couldn't miss me standing on the side-lines! The gold glitter earrings were a fun neutral with all that colour, and this nude necklace seemed the best choice to pair with the bright colours.


Last worn: palm print cover up, gold glitter earrings, wood and clay necklace, turquoise tank, white Target denim skirt, Sketchers, Balenciaga sorbet city (above).

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?



30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag


30 Ways to Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag #30wears | Awayfromblue


I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!



It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.


30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style




Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.


Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits


5 ways to wear blue and magenta outfits with magenta balenciaga day hobo bag awayfromblue

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.


Magenta Bag With Purple


magenta hobo bag with purple outfits awayfromblue

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.


Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim


magenta hobo bag and denim and tee outfits awayfromtheblue

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!


Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories


magenta balenciaga day bag in 5 outfits with matching magenta  awayfromtheblue

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!


Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.


Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy


4 pregnancy outfit ideas with magenta hobo bag awayfromblue

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.

Blue and White Shorts Outfits With Balenciaga Moto Bags

Another outfit duo following a similar formula but two very different resulting looks, with shorts, blue and white, and Balenciaga bags. These bags are from 2009 and 2010, but age so well! I'm glad I splurged on them all those years ago.


What I wore:

JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Tee: Primark Edinburgh white graphic tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

A hot but relaxed day, with the school run and working from home. Surprisingly, I haven't worn this tie dye cape and the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag together before. I really like blue and pink so expected the combination to come up in my blog archives, but looks like this is a new pairing! The different blue and navy shades in the tie dye go so nicely with the sorbet pink of the bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this white graphic tee and Bermuda denim shorts, it was really too hot for much else, or for proper shoes! Didn't even add a necklace to this - I think with the printed cape and the graphic print on the tee, and bright bag, there was already enough going on in this outfit.


Last worn: tie dye cape, Edinburgh tee, Bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Why I wore it:

Another hot day! We had a quiet morning at home, with a wildlife show to attend in the afternoon with the kids. I went with this simple turquoise tank and these light white Bermuda denim shorts, again blue and white like the outfit above. Because the show was outdoors I felt I should add a little bit of physical sunblock as well so went with this tropical floral print duster.

I've worn this purple Balenciaga work bag with turquoise before, and liked the combination. I also like wearing this purple bag with navy, so thought it would go nicely with the duster. All together it doesn't work quite as well as I would have liked, and with it being so hot and sticky I was wishing I'd gone with no duster on top. The bag was the perfect size for all our water bottles though. Thankfully we got home from the show just before the storm hit, and the humidity didn't stop my kids from enjoying the wildlife show and getting up close and personal with the animals and snakes.


Last worn: tropical floral duster, turquoise tank, silver circle necklace, white Bermuda shorts, Havaianas (above), raisin Balenciaga work bag.

How You Can Wear It:

If there's a colour scheme you enjoy wearing, try finding different pieces in your wardrobe to create it. Both of these outfits feature blue and white, just in different ways to create different looks.
