Two Ways To Wear Kmart Berry Pink Seam Detail Knit Jumper

This Kmart berry seam detail knit jumper is the only new (not pre-loved) piece I bought last month. I saw it on sale in store near the checkouts and couldn't resist picking it up. I'm such an impulse shopper sometimes! I've enjoyed wearing it so far, it's nice and cosy for Brisbane's winter days.

In both of these outfits, I've worn the pink jumper to the office.


What I wore:






JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
Earrings: Colette silver light twist hoop earrings
Necklace: handmade blue, green and black beaded necklace
Knit: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star in pink foam
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 


Why I wore it:

This leather moto jacket was an amazing preloved find at the fashion markets a while back and I love it in winter, it's got really spacious sleeves so it's easy to layer a knit jumper like this underneath it.

With the cosy jumper on top and the leather jacket, I decided to wear this pretty maxi skirt. It is light and one I wear in summer as well, but with the cosy top layers I wasn't too cold in the early morning commute to work. I wore pink Converse although the shades of pink are different from the knit, I thought a little extra colour was needed with all the black.

I wore the Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC for a touch more colour as well, I liked how well it matched this new beaded necklace I made.


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, silver hoop earrings, black maxi skirt, pink Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC. It's the first time I've worn the necklace as I recently made it, and knit as it's a recent purchase.

What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Earrings: Colette purple acrylic flower statement earrings
Jumper: Kmart long sleeved brushed seam detail knit top in berry (new purchase)
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

For another office day, I again wore this berry pink seam detail jumper with a skirt. A pencil skirt this time, and I went with purple accessories. I really like pink and purple together. Although the purple resin floral statement earrings and the plum purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote are different shades of purple, I thought they were far enough apart that they worked well together in this outfit with the pink jumper.

I wore this navy suede jacket to match the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt, and of course I needed some fleece lined tights for the cold commute, even with ankle boots I needed my legs covered up! Just like above, I really liked this outfit, it was another good way to wear this berry jumper.

Green Jeans, Striped Tees And Cocoon Cardigans

On some warmer winter days recently I just needed these light cocoon cardigans over my jeans and striped tee outfits.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a few errands to run and it was quite a sunny morning, so I just added this lightweight cocoon cardigan. The cardigan was an opshop find, one I'm always glad I picked up. I was hoping for good opshopping luck as I had a few bags of donations to drop off that morning. Of course I walked away with a few opshop scores for myself too after dropping things off and having 'just a little browse'.

I like the simplicity of this outfit - the teal jeans are a good pair with the navy and white striped tee, and the white Converse was a little bit of matchy-matchy with that. Nothing else matched, with the navy stripes in the tee and the black knit cardigan and tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag, but I liked how all the neutrals looked together.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy and white striped tee, mixed metal necklace, teal jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

What I wore:






Jacket: Ripe longline grey cardigan
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Mossimo black and white striped v-neck tee (new purchase)
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
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:

I don't normally wear a lot of neutral outfits, but here's a second neutral outfit in a row, with a black and white striped tee and olive jeans with the black Converse and the grey duster cocoon cardigan. The cardigan and the striped tee are both opshop finds.

Although I usually like adding a little extra colour to my outfits with accessories I decided to stick with the neutrals with this one. The black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag goes with everything and I really liked the neutral beaded necklace against the black stripe tee.

As you can see from my post of the 30 ways to wear these olive jeans, I wear them with black a lot, but this is the first time I've worn this particular tee with them as it's a recent opshop find. I really liked the combination, good for another quiet weekend day with a few errands to complete.
