Pink Kmart Dresses With Denim Trench Coat and Navy Scarves

Layering up two fuchsia pink Kmart dresses for winter office days with this denim trench, blue bags, and navy printed scarves.


What I wore:



Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
EarringsColette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

I really like the way these fuchsia earrings match the fuchsia pink of this Kmart tiered midi dress! They are the perfect pair and it was so nice to wear them together. It was a cooler morning so I layered up for the commute with this denim trench coat that's been a staple recently, and had to add a scarf as well. I like the navy of this one against the pink dress and blue denim of the trench coat.

I added another shade of blue with this Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag, and then comfortable sneakers. I did wish on my way to work that I'd worn boots though, proper winter cold weather is here in Brisbane and bare ankles wasn't the nicest in the cold breeze, especially just with this light denim trench.

Unfortunately I managed to roll my chair over this trench at the office and tore a massive hole in it! Easily repaired, but I'm on the look-out now for a pretty patch to disguise the repair.


Last worn: denim trench coat, fuchsia earrings, navy diamond print scarf, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag.

Other ways to weardenim trench coat and floral dress, navy diamond print scarf and orange, fuchsia pink tiered midi dress and blazer, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip bag and skirt.







What I wore:






Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and white geo print tassel scarf
Dressthrifted Kmart short sleeve godet skirt linen blend dress in fuchsia
Belt: came with dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I dressed much more warmly on this day, another cooler day I was up early for the commute to work. Again I wore the denim trench coat with this linen Kmart dress. I've layered it up for winter before, despite being linen it's not impossible to wear through the year as it layers so well. I added leggings, and ankle boots this time instead of sneakers. With the denim trench I still needed an extra layer so I went with this pretty navy and white tile print scarf. I really liked the colour of it against the fuchsia pink dress, and again with the blue of the denim trench.

I wore this little Rebecca Minkoff croc embossed Love Too bag, I've been reaching for it a lot lately. It's the perfect size for the essentials I need to take to work as I have my laptop in a work issued bag, and it goes with everything being a neutral shade.

Animal Print and Blazer Office Outfits With Pink

Two different pink and animal print outfits for the office, worn with blazers to dress them up a little.


What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: thrifted hammered silver statement necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was a really good day at work! A colleague from another office was visiting and it was lovely to see them again.

I only had a few meetings so went with a jeans and blazer outfit, with this cheetah print cami. I like wearing printed tops with this blush pink blazer, it's always a good combination. I added a little more pink with the pink Converse, although they don't match the shade of pink in the blazer I like the two shades together with all the neutrals in the outfit. The brown Chloe Paddington I've been wearing a lot lately, and I thought matched nicely with the brown in the print of the tank. While the hardware and padlock on the Paddington bag is gold I thought that the silver accessories would be nice with this. The hammered silver statement necklace and silver circle earrings are such a nice pairing together. Both are opshop finds.


Last worn: blush blazer, silver circle earrings, silver statement necklace, cheetah print cami, black skinny jeans, pink Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearblush blazer and dress, cheetah print cami and shorts, black skinny jeans and knit, pink Converse and dress, Chloe Paddington bag and skirt.

What I wore:






Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer from my sister's wardrobe
Earrings: Colette white pearl beaded gum leaf tassel earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

This is a very different looking outfit from the one above, but it follows the same basic formula with a blazer, some animal print, and a touch of pink. this time around it was a lot of leopard print, with this beautiful maxi skirt, which was an opshop find. The grey tee was a good neutral with the bold print, and then the black blazer from my sister's wardrobe was a nice topper. Even with the gold accessories, the statement earrings and the faux pearl necklace, this outfit felt like it needed a little more. The pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was just the right way to add a little more colour, and I liked the matchy-matchy with the gold accessories and the gold hardware on the mini5-zip bag.

I wore my converse again - I pretty much live in sneakers now! With the brown ones to match the brown in the leopard print of the skirt. Another easy office outfit.


Last worn: black blazer, gold earrings, faux pearl necklace, grey tee, leopard print maxi skirt, brown Converse, pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

Jaase Dresses, Denim Jackets and Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

2 outfits with a simple outfit formula of Jaase floral dresses, denim jackets, statement earrings and my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. Both outfits worn at the start of winter when it wasn't cold enough to need leggings under these dresses.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Earrings: Colette blue mixed shape faux crustal drop earrings
DressJaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and then an engagement lunch in the afternoon. It felt like a day that would warm up and with the ankle boots and the denim jacket I was warm enough until I did. This navy Jaase autumn leaves print dress has long sleeves too that helped keep me warm.

I couldn't decide what necklace to wear with this, and decided just on a pair of statement earrings instead. I really like these blue crystal ones. With the pale blue wash of the denim jacket and the navy background of the dress, the blue earrings were great with this.

I added a little extra colour with the lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag. I didn't need to carry much with me, and this bag is great for just the essentials.


Last worn: statement earrings, denim moto jacket, Jaase Celine dress, tan ankle boots, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to weardenim moto jacket and skirt, Jaase Celine dress and blazertan ankle boots and jeans, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and maxi skirt.
Another repetition of the same outfit formula, with a different Jaase floral dress! I picked up this dress recently in the Salty Crush warehouse sale and I've really been enjoying wearing it. For another morning at church and a couple of quick errands afterwards, again a denim jacket was the only topper I needed. It was even warm enough that I didn't need ankle boots and just wore Converse with this.

While the purple floral earrings and the lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag are different shades of purple, I liked both of them with the pastel peach tones in this floral Jaase dress, especially paired with the darker wash denim jacket.


Last worn: purple statement floral earrings, denim jacket, Jaase floral dress, white Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Pink and Black Jeans and Tee Outfits With Love Too Bag

Two very different black and pink jeans and tee outfits, with patterned cover ups and my Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.


What I wore:






JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

It was good to get this cosy knit out again! The perfect topper to keep me warm for a day with the school run, working from home and a quick errand in the afternoon. I always enjoy getting this knitted poncho out each winter, it's like wearing a giant blanket really! The black and white pattern adds a nice bit of an interest to any outfit I wear it with, and it is warm enough so I just needed a plain tee underneath.  Added a little colour with the pink frayed hem Zara jeans, an opshop find.

The necklace doesn't have any pink in it but I liked the simplicity of it against the textures white tee and the pastel orange was a nice colour worn with the pastel pink jeans.


Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff ruana, beaded necklace, textured white tee, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag

Other ways to wearRebecca Minkoff ruana worn 2 ways, textured white tee and shorts, pink frayed hem jeans and jumper, black Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and packing up for and driving the boys to camp in the evening.

Of course by the time we left for camp I'd swapped the light floral waterfall jacket for a cosier hoodie, but during the day this light jacket was all I needed. I liked the bright burst of colour it added to the monochromatic grey tee and black skinny jeans outfit. The turquoise wooden necklace and deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag were nice accessories to add a little more colour too.

Navy Printed Dresses With Blue Jackets and Purple Bags

Two navy and white printed tiered dresses for the office, with blue jackets and purple bags.


What I wore:






Jacket: Anko Kmart mid wash denim jacket
EarringsColette Tropadelic fuchsia coloured metal leaf earrings
DressSalty Crush Avery midi dress in charis blue relaxed button down tiered dress with balloon sleeves
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

It was a really foggy morning on this day so I was glad I had this long maxi skirt, thankfully the fog dissipated by the time I was in the office and it turned into a warm and sunny day, so this denim jacket was the perfect layer. it kept me cosy on the cooler commute over this long sleeved printed maxi dress, and also for the afternoon, as I left the office early to take Cooper to a vet's appointment in the evening.

I really like the navy and white print on this dress, but felt like adding a little more colour to it. The fuchsia statement earrings and the wine purple Chloe Paraty bag don't match each other at all, but I like both purple and pink with blue so I really liked this combination.

it's the first time I've shared this dress on the blog - i picked it up at the Salty Crush online warehouse sale and it was a bargain. I really liked wearing it. It has pockets and while it's a light viscose the long sleeves mean I'm hoping to wear it a few more times in winter.


Last worn: fuchsia statement earrings, denim jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag. First time I've posted the dress as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to weardenim jacket and skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Chloe wine purple Paraty bag and skirt.






What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: Colette Tropadelic purple beaded tassel statement earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart Navy white print tiered dress from my sister's wardrobe
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

I wore this back at the end of autumn, when bare legs was possible! It's a lot cooler now it's winter in Brisbane. I really liked this outfit though. The navy and white tiered printed dress is from my sister's wardrobe, and just like the outfit above I added more colour with pink and purple accessories. The plum purple mini MAB tote bag is not the exact same shade of purple as the earrings, but I like the two together, and I added a little pink as well with the pastel pink Converse. The bright blue blazer was all the light layer I needed for this outfit on the commute to and from work. It helped make the dress a little more formal for in the office too.

This was another day I left the office early, to pickup the kids and go to an evening high school tour. They provided lots of food which was great, saved me having to cook late in the evening!


Last worn: purple tassel earrings, beaded necklace, blue blazer, navy and white tiered dress, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum purple MAB.

Pink Jeans, Grey Tees and Cocoon Cardigans

Two pink jeans and grey tee outfits for back in autumn, when the milder weather meant I just needed to layer with these cocoon cardigans. Both of them are opshop finds!


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in lead grey
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this to volunteer at my local polling place for Election day, serving up sausages at the sausage sizzle! If you're not Australian you might not know most polling places have a BBQ, maybe even some baking, to fundraise for community groups. It was my first time volunteering on election day, although obviously not my first sausage sizzle, and it went well! Was good to contribute to democracy sausages!

I was very conscious I didn't want to dress in any of the political party colours but with the grey tee and the black cocoon cardigan this outfit needed a little colour. These magenta Sass and Bide jeans were the perfect pop. I added a little matching magenta with the marble necklace, and another shade of pink with the Converse. I really liked how this outfit came together, although I ended up taking the knit off quite early in the morning as it turned into a really warm day.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, marble necklace, grey tee, magenta jeans, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wearblack cocoon cardigan and white jeans, grey tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans with blue, pink Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and dress.






What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

This was not as fun a day! I was quite busy as Cooper had surgery so I had to take him to the vets and pick him up afterwards. Along with this the kids had school, sports in the evening and I was also working from home. Thankfully the surgery went well! I dressed comfortably, jeans and tee is a go-to for working from home in cooler weather, and the pink leopard print cocoon cardigan kept me cosy. Just like the outfit above, I went with pink jeans again to add a little more colour. These are an opshop find, and although they are a lighter pink, a grey tee goes with everything! 

I wore my Chloe Paddington bag again, I've been carrying it a lot lately, and with such a busy day I didn't want the hassle of changing bags so just kept using this one, although when juggling Cooper in my arms I did wish I'd picked a lighter bag, maybe a crossbody one!


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, beaded tassel necklace, grey tunic tee, pink skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.

Striped Tees, Jeans, Long Coats And Purple Chloe Paraty Bag

More autumn jeans outfits - I really do reach for my denim a lot in the cooler weather! This time around I'm wearing jeans and striped tees with my purple small Chloe Paraty bag, for some working from home days.


What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Teethrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

This was another busy day! With the school run, working from home, a vet visit for the dogs, and then sports in the evening. While it was warmer during the day when I was out with the dogs, this warm grey cocoon cardigan was much needed for the cooler morning and the very cold evening outdoors with the kids.

I felt like this Coca-Cola logo stripe tee was overdue another wear, and it's a nice simple outfit paired with the plain grey cardigan and black skinny jeans. I added the Adidas Superstar for more black and white, and then an extra bit of colour with the purple Chloe Paraty bag. The deep wine coloured purple shade is particularly suited for autumn, I've been reaching for it a lot lately.


Last worn: grey cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola logo tee, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: Kmart Anko full length oversized denim trench coat
EarringsColette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagChloe small Paraty bag in wine purple


Why I wore it:

Another striped tee and jeans outfit for working from home, again with the school run and a vet trip for Cooper. I like a casual jeans and tee outfit for working from home, as it's so comfortable. I did try to dress this up a little with these pretty purple acrylic slower earrings I picked up on a day out with my mum and sister lately. The store had a 3 for $10 sale and I couldn't resist! I felt these helped add a little interest and dressed up the tee enough for video calls.

I then went with the blue beaded necklace to match the earrings, and this denim trench coat that I absolutely adore. Despite it being quite popular when it was released last year, it went on sale in my local Kmart store for just $10 when spring arrived, and I had to snap it up. It's quite a soft denim and I like the relaxed oversized fit, will be perfect for layering with chunky knits when winter arrives. It was a nice way to do double denim with the grey jeans, and again I wore the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a touch of autumn colour.


Last worn: navy stripe tee, blue beaded necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, white leather Converse, purple Chloe Paraty bag (above). First time I've worn the trench as I bought it on sale last year in warmer weather, and first time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent purchase.

Green Jeans, Printed Tanks and Blazers For The Office

Two outfits with printed tanks, jeans and blazers, an easy office outfit formula for autumn.


What I wore:






Jacket: Cotton On black jersey longline blazer
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tank: thrifted no label terrazzo print white tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Green and pink is not some thing I wear together an awful lot, but I was inspired to try this blush pink bag with the olive green jeans thanks to the pink in the terrazzo print of this tank. The Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag matches the subtle blush pink in the tank quite well I thought, so I gave it a go. With a neutral black blazer and white Converse, I really liked this outfit and the blush and olive combination.

Great for another autumn day in the office, the blazer made the sleeve less tank warm enough for the cooler commute.


Last worn: black blazer, circle necklace, terrazzo tank, olive jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Unlike pink and green, blue and green is a combination I wear fairly often, so this bright cobalt blue blazer was an easy choice to layer with the teal skinny jeans. This fern print tank is a fun one that was overdue another wear as well. I liked the matching blue against the blazer, and I thought the colours looked great against the teal jeans.

I went with the statement gold circle necklace to match the statement gold hardware on the Chloe Paddington bag.

This was a very long day as I'd been kept late in the office working on an issue, and after I got home from work I had to rush my son to hospital. It was a very busy evening in the ER and he needed an x-ray so we were there over 4 hours. Thankfully no broken bones for him, but we were a little worried there for a bit! He's fully recovered now.


Last worn: blue blazer, gold circle necklace, fern print tank, teal skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Paddington bag.
