Blue Tops, Pink Scarves, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different blue and pink outfits with skinny jeans and cosy cardigans. Both outfits feature a scarf for a bright pop of pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I threw this top on after it was delivered the day before - probably should have ironed it, can still see those new from packet creases, ha! But it was the perfect block colour piece to wear with this fun leopard print cardigan, and super comfortable with the grey jeans. I was just working from home and doing the school run, but added a little warmth and colour with the pink ombre scarf that I thrifted recently.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, pink ombre scarf, blue tank, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and pink jeans, pink ombre scarf with black and white outfit, blue tank with green, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans:  thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

With the navy tee, navy cardigan and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a bit of a darker outfit than the one above. I thought that the pink and white Alexander McQueen skull scarf was a nice way to lighten up the outfit a little with that pop of pink and the white background. Again I went with my Converse sneakers and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that has been a firm go-to for me since I thrifted it recently. Nice and easy jeans and tee outfit for my sons playdate.

Cardigans and Culottes With Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

Can't believe it's October already! While I have made a start on some Christmas shopping and covered off the basic things I get every year like clothes and books, I always like to get some fun things just to make people smile. Gifts like a custom pet portrait of our dog Cooper for my husband, and a cuddly little mantis for my insect loving son. I find gifts for dog lovers so fun to shop for, one year I got my husband custom pet socks with Cooper's face on them that were adorable! My kids have a couple dog tees, and cuddly toys, and of course I have a couple of necklaces with our dog's little fuzzy silhouette on them. 

I'm looking forward to Cooper's portrait arriving as it will look so good next to a Shih Tzu print my mum gifted us a couple years back for our new house. I've also been buying a few things for myself while shopping for others, like this handbag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Short: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! Just the usual working from home, but also doing parent teacher interviews with the kids teachers in the afternoon. It was a mix of in-classroom and over the phone interviews, so I wanted to be comfortable but not too casually dressed for the in-person ones. I have worn this pink tee with these Kmart culottes before, I really like the pink and navy together. I felt the navy waterfall cardigan made it a little more formal than just the shorts and the tee alone, and was a good cosy layer for the afternoon meetings as well when it got cooler. And it was extremely comfortable for working from home - I spent my lunch break browsing a few more online shopping sites looking for the perfect Christmas gifts!

While there is some lighter blue in the print on the culottes, it doesn't really match the darker Luna blue of the Edie shoulder bag. I still thought it was a good accessory with everything though, this bag just goes so well with other shades of blue.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, pink tee, circle necklace, Kmart printed culottes, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, pink tee and maxi skirt, Kmart printed culottes with lilac, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with pink.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse Chucks in second trimester.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above so much, I repeated it again! This time a white v-neck tee, with another pair of Kmart printed culotte shorts. I thrifted these a while back for just $1, such a lucky find. The mustard yellow cardigan was an opshop find too! I wore it to keep cosy on the school run and while working from home, and also to be noticeable when surprising my kids at a performance at school. It was so hot though, squished in the crowd of parents watching, that I ended up having to take my cardigan off. Had to wave quite a bit until the boys saw me but they were so happy when they noticed me in the crowd.

Unlike the outfit above, there isn't an abundance of navy that makes the outfit look more coordinated, but I still feel everything goes together well. The pastel shorts look so good with the blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag. The white tee and mustard yellow cardigan, while they also don't match, just flowed nicely with everything else.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, white tee, pastel culottes, Stan Smith sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and printed tank, white tee and blazer, pastel culottes with lilac, Stan Smith sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and orange maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a staple for warmer weather. For those in-between seasons, you can try adding a cosy and colourful cardigan on top, before spring temperatures really arrive.

30 Ways to Wear: Navy Waterfall Cardigan From Jeanswest

Not surprised I've hit over 30 wears with this navy waterfall cardigan over this winter - it's a staple in my winter outfits and the neutral colour goes with everything! It's good timing with spring here in Brisbane to share 30 wears I've won this knit.

30 Ways To Wear: Navy Waterfall Cardigan

This navy cardigan goes with everything! I bought this to try and add more knits to my winter wardrobe, and the neutral block navy colour ensures I can wear it with any of my outfits, as I've shared below with just some of the ways I've worn it. It's the perfect piece for not looking too casual or underdressed with the gentle waterfall shape, and works well belted or worn loose. Something I'm glad I picked up on sale 4 years ago! It's just the right thickness for cool winter and spring days in Brisbane.

Cost Per Wear

I purchased this cardigan back in May 2018 for $41.99, using a gift card. So it didn't cost me anything  as it was a gift card purchase, but it works out to $1.31 a wear of gift card money for the 32 times I've worn it. Pretty good for something that is still going to be a staple in my wardrobe for the years to come! When I bought it I was excited I could use the buttons to turn the cardigan into a wrap top, but I've only worn it that way once so far, so I really need to try change it up when I'm wearing it and take advantage of the button up feature!

Below are 30 of my favourite outfits with this cardigan, to give you some ideas and inspiration for how you can wear a similar piece in your wardrobe.

Waterfall Cardigan and Dresses Outfits

This long waterfall cardigan is the perfect layer over a dress! I really like it worn belted over a dress for the office, but it looks nice just worn loose and draping down too.

Navy Cardigan With Green

Green and blue is a combination I've really warmed to in recent years - and as you can see from the brighter jeans, olive jeans and even the green printed scarf, a navy cardigan like this is so good against shades of green.

Waterfall Cardigan and Pencil Skirt Office Outfit

Another staple office outfit in the cooler weather is throwing this navy cardigan on over a pencil skirt outfit. It's great for the cooler morning and afternoon office commutes, and stylish enough that it doesn't look out of place in my business casual office.

Navy Cardigan Worn With Red

Red and blue is a colour combination I really like to wear! As with the green outfits above, I find any shade of red works well with this navy cardigan. Red or burgundy jeans, even a red poppy print scarf, really pop with the navy knit.

Waterfall Cardigan With Shorts

There are some spring and autumn days where it's just not warm enough for bare arms and bare legs - so a cardigan over a shorts and tee outfit is a good option. It also packs up easily into your bag if the day warms up later too and you need to remove a layer.

Navy Cardigan Worn With Purple

I really like deep purple shades with this navy cardigan - like the purple jeans and the purple scarf. Even that little plum bag. The magenta bags look great with it too, but I think navy and purple look really good together so wanted to call that out in these sets of outfits.

Waterfall Cardigan Worn With Printed Pieces In An Outfit

The reason I added this to my wardrobe was that I wanted a nice block colour cardigan I could easily wear with printed pieces - stripes, skulls, leopard print, any print works when you have a plain block colour cardigan on top. Especially if it's a neutral navy like this.

Pink and Navy Outfit Ideas With Waterfall Cardigan

Yet another go-to colour combination for me is pink and purple. Magenta jeans, as I called out above, magenta looks great with this navy! Or lighter pink tees or printed jeans, all shades of pink are nice against this dark blue knit.

Waterfall Cardigans, Tanks and Dark Jeans With Chloe Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Spring officially arrived on the 1st September in Brisbane, but we still had a couple of cooler days at the start of September which gave me another chance to wear these cosy waterfall cardigans again, with some darker denim jeans and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very relaxed day! It was a pupil free day, so a morning free from the school run! I planned to work from home and take the kids to the library afterwards - this jeans and tank outfit was perfect, the cosy navy waterfall cardigan is so comfortable and kept me warm. My mum and sister looked after the kids when I worked and treated us to lunch which was nice, as well as taking the boys out for a few adventures.

I felt this satin pink tank was overdue another wear and I really do like it with navy! Added even more blue with the wooden bead necklace and periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag.

These charcoal Nobody Denim jeans go with everything of course, and I picked the New Balance sneakers for their support while driving around.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue tri colour wooden necklace, pink satin tank, Nobody Denim jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, pink satin tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink satin tank and hidden baby bump.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Top: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This is exactly the same cardigan as the one above, just in red, because I couldn't decide between the two colours when I bought them a few years back. I am glad I have both in my wardrobe, even though this red one hasn't been worn as much as the navy one above, that I've hit 30 wears with. I do love wearing this red cardigan with neutrals though to let it really shine! The brown printed tank was a great pairing with it, and the faded black jeans, a $1 opshop find, go with everything.

Again I went with sneakers, my comfortable Adidas Superstar ones, for the school run, helping in my son's classroom and a few errands after school. We had to go buy a few little special snacks for the upcoming playdate we had on the weekend.

Although the rose gold necklace is a different tone from the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I thought the two accessories worked well together, and I really liked the filigree heart with the brown print on the tank.

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, rose gold heart necklace, Sass and Bide printed tank, faded black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, Sass and Bide printed tank and maxi skirt, faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

A cosy block colour cardigan is the perfect layer for those in-between seasons. A neutral like navy lets you pair it with brighter outfits, or you can go bolder with a red knit and stick to neutral shades with the rest of your outfit like I have in these two outfits.

Striped Tees Matching Waterfall Cardigans With Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, more jeans and tee outfits, which are becoming a staple with winter really taking hold here in Brisbane!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

With the navy stripe tee matching the cosy navy waterfall cardigan, and the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black sneakers, this could have been a really dark toned outfit, even with the white in the stripes. The magenta Balenciaga Day bag and purple scarf were the perfect way to add a bit more colour, and I appreciated the extra cosiness from the scarf too, it was a particularly cold day and I was thankful for the scarf on the school run, especially in the morning!

Had a quiet day of working from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening. Jeans and a tee is the perfect casual outfit for that.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, purple scarf, navy stripe tee, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, purple scarf and printed dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and blazer, Balenciaga magenta day bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Bag in My Balenciaga Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was one of those outfits I'd planned in my head that didn't quite translate how I wanted to when I put it on in the morning. It was a busy day though, with helping out in my son's classroom after the school run, working from home, and then last minute shopping for a birthday present for a birthday party the next day after school pick up. I had planned this scarf but realised it didn't look quite right, but had no time to try another. Not the worst combination, but I do think another scarf would have worked better.

The shoes are new to me! I rarely ever see shoes in my size at the opshops so getting a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers for $3 the other year was an awesome steal. My mum found these Stan Smiths and was hoping they would fit her, but unfortunately they didn't. She brought them over for me to try though and they work for me, so she gave them to me. $0 sneakers is the best!

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue window pane scarf, burgundy striped tee, grey skinny jeans, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the Stan Smith sneakers.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, blue window pane scarf and striped dress, burgundy striped tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30ways, Balenciaga tempete Day bag and maxi dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga tempete Day bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

For a little bit of matchy-matchy, try pairing a striped tee in a similar shade to a cosy cardigan in winter. Adding other colours with accessories like I have with scarves and bags is fun to try too!

Winter Stripes, Jeans, Tee and Scarves Outfits

Some uncharacteristically muted outfits, after the past few posts of bold and colourful winter layers! Muted tones and neutrals all just layer so well for winter though. And it was a very cold couple of days in Brisbane! Both of these outfits feature jeans and a tee, with a cosy scarf and some stripes.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! My eldest son had a playdate at his friends house with his best mates while my youngest son and I spent time with my mum and sister. We didn't have a lot planned for the day, just went out to a few of the school holiday activities that the local shopping centres had organised, while ticking off a few errands. It was more the company that made it fun! My family stayed over for dinner too which was really nice, so my eldest could have some time with them after my friend dropped him back from his playdate.

It was a very uncharacteristically cold day so I wanted all the layers - this navy waterfall cardigan looks good with the pink tee, and the black and white printed scarf adds a bit of extra interest and print to the outfit too while keeping me warm. The faded black jeans and black New Balance sneakers were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black stripes on the scarf too. The Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag doesn't really match any of my outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the muted colours and I can easily fit a snack and water bottle in this as well as my essentials for the day.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, striped scarf, pink tee, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, striped scarf and yellow, pink tee and shorts, faded black jeans and blazer, Chloe Paraty bag and sundress.

Chloe Small Paraty Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and pink cheetah print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Another outfit with all the layers - although this thin striped duster wasn't as warm as the thick waterfall cardigan I wore above, it was a day where I wasn't outside as much. We had another school holiday playdate at home in the morning, and then a trip to the library in the afternoon. It was quite nice sitting in the sun in the backyard in the morning, especially after the frantic tidying up the house we did before our friends came over had me feeling warm! Although in the afternoon at the library I wished I'd maybe worn a cardigan instead of this duster, or a long sleeved tee underneath as it was a bit windy.

I wasn't sure what scarf to wear with this - with the deep purple tee and black and white stripes and grey skinny jeans I thought about a brighter colour, but in the end I went with this leopard print one that is quickly becoming my go-to scarf for winter! I really like stripes and leopard print together.


Last worn: striped maxi cardigan, leopard print scarf, deep purple tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped maxi cardigan over a dress, leopard print scarf and purple cardigan, deep purple tee over a maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and denim skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and shorts. 

Perfect for pregnancy: deep purple tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed scarves are a great addition to jeans and tee outfits in winter! You can print mix with them like I have in the second outfit, or let them be the only printed statement in your outfit like I have in the first photos.

Printed Jeans, White Tees And Cardigans

Another two outfits following similar outfit formulas. White tees, printed jeans and cardigans with Rebecca Minkoff bags. Just like in Monday's post though, again I loved one outfit more than the other despite it being the same basic pieces together.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Yellow with these chevron print jeans really pops, so cheerful and colourful. The aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and turquoise necklace are an awesome extra touch of colour too. While this white tee does have a spotty texture all over I thought it might still work with the print of the jeans as it was neutral and a fairly subtle design and I'm glad I gave this a go, really liked this combination.

Wore this to work from home and take a late lunch to go cheer my child on for sports at school. The cardigan was too warm most of the day working from home but I appreciated it in the windy afternoon as I sat on the sidelines of the field for half an hour.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise stone necklace, white tee, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, white tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and magenta florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag in third trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC and MAB Tote Comparison:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

I liked this outfit and I felt good in it, but just didn't like it as much as the one above. I'd planned a different top to wear but went with another white tee as I realised that morning I hadn't yet ironed the one I wanted to wear. With two little boys, I can never keep up with laundry! And I was going to go for a purple cardigan as well but after a particularly cold start to the morning I needed something a bit thicker and warmer so went with this navy one. Still added a little purple to my outfit with this plum Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote though, purple is so good with the pink leopard print jeans. I've worn it with them before.

Comfortable for a busy day with with school run, sports for the little one while his brother was at school then sports for both boys in the evening after school pick up. I also carried the baby bag for everyone's water bottles and post sport snacks as the mini MAB tote really just fits the essentials.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue statement necklace, plain white tee, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, plain white tee over maxi dress, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote in third trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

White tees are a wardrobe classic and always look good with printed jeans. A cardigan can add a little extra warmth for a cold spring day and a lot of extra colour.
