SAHM Style: Colourful Skinny Jeans and Printed Scarves

While I have been wearing my denim a lot over winter, I haven't really worn a lot of my large denim collection - I just seem to keep picking the same 2 or 3 pairs to wear over and over. Now I've realised this, when I want a quick and easy cosy winter option, I'm trying to grab a different pair of jeans from my usual blue or black pairs. Or even a printed pair. Below, wearing my bright red pair and a grey pair to make the denim rut I'm in a little different.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket

Scarf: blue tartan scarf
Top: Jeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley
Jeans: Jeanswest 'shale' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

Wore this to work from home. I had planned to wear this to the office, hoping these jeans would pass as plain pants. I've worn them that way before. Our washing machine decided to break down though and I had to be home waiting for the repairer to come out. As I had to go out quickly in the morning, I decided to just wear what I had planned but with Converse instead. I'm glad I just wore it to work from home, I think even with heels this would have been a little too casual.


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, blue tartan scarf, striped henley, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket with a printed dress, tartan scarf with a printed dress, striped henley with a maxi skirt and baby belly, grey skinny jeans with black leather, Converse and spring dresses, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag 40 weeks pregnant.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (also on sale in black!)
Tee: Atmos&Here grey Arizona zip tee
Tank: French Connection feather foil singlet
Jeans: Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs pretty nylon Eliz-A-Baby bag

Why I wore it:

Was quite tired and had a busy morning with baby, so decided to try and dress colourfully and see if I could get some energy from wearing something bright!

You can't really see it in the pictures, but the tank I'm wearing under the tee is my glittery black one. I thought it was another nice way to add some colour, as well as the bright red jeans and the galaxy print scarf. Didn't work as well as I thought as you can't really see the glitter on it, but it was a good idea to try.

With all the colours together I wasn't really sure what bag to wear with this, and as I was in a bit of a hurry as we had a play date to get to, I decided just to throw everything in the baby bag for the day. Black goes with everything!


Last worn: Ray-ban Wayfarers, galaxy print scarf, grey long sleeve tee, glitter tank, red skinny jeans, Converse (above), Marc by Marc Jacobs Eliz-a-Baby bag.

Other ways to wear: printed scarf with a polka dot dress, grey tee with a maxi skirt, glitter tank and lace skirt, red skinny jeans with a printed tank, Converse and a maxi skirt.

SAHM Style in Winter: Skinny Jeans, Leather Jacket, Jumper and Scarf

First up, some exciting news! I'm always open and honest with my partnerships here on the blog. Just as I have previously, I wanted to share a little about my latest sponsorship with you. In perfect timing, as #noBuyJuly15 is now over....I'm going to be partnering with Shopbop!

Shopbop is definitely one of my go-to-sites when I'm looking to buy something (as you'll know if you subscribe on youtube), so I'm really pleased! In Australia, it's tricky and expensive to find a lot of my favourite designer accessories like Marc by Marc Jacobs and Rebecca Minkoff. While they are getting easier to find here, I can't get past checking Shopbop first. They always have the best range, and the 3 day international shipping is often faster than regular shipping within Australia.

So what does this new partnership mean for my blog? I'll still be sharing what I wear, you might just see a few more links sprinkled here and there to Shopbop, and I'll start to call out when I'm wearing things that I bought from there so you can head over and check it out yourself! As always, I'm open to comments, feedback and constructive criticism so if you have any suggestions for improvement let me know. The content on this blog will always be written by me, that will never change, and you are under no obligation to click anything to support the blog.


Now, the outfits. More denim outfits, and again with this Jeanswest jacket. I went for a little while not wearing it and now it's back in heavy rotation. Winter weather makes me reach for jeans and leather jackets frequently. Add a bright scarf and you have a simple, easy winter stay at home mum outfit.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket

Scarf: gifted red tartan scarf
Top: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Jeans:  Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This is the second tartan scarf my sister brought me back from Europe. Thought it would look good with the grey top, and was a lovely way to add some colour. I actually took my jacket off during the day as it warmed up as we wear outside in the sun..

We went out with my sister to take baby T to a farm down the coast we had visited often when we were younger. It has delicious food, and also a petting zoo so he got the chance to pat and feed some of the animals. It was adorable seeing his little face light up!

It's been over a year since I last wore this top. I wore to give it one last wear, but I've decided to hold onto it. It's a great neutral so it's staying.

Last worn: Jeanswest leather jacket, grey knit, Jeanswest prima denim skinny jeans, black ankle boots, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere. First time I've worn the scarf.

Other ways to wear: leather jacket and printed dress, grey knit for travel, kimono and skinny jeans, ankle boots and a shift dress, speedy bandouliere with a printed dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather jacket

Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC with python embossed leather in aquamarine (purchased from Shopbop, my first ever Shopbop order!)

Why I wore it:

Told you I'd wear this scarf and bag together again, they are too perfect! Didn't realise I'd be wearing them together with the same jeans though, ha! I like the aqua with the purple, and I thought that the blue knit was another nice colour to throw into the mix.

After a tiring night (as you can no doubt tell by the photo!) we had a more relaxed day, checking out some of the toy sales around as baby T had some birthday money to spend.
