Colourful Skinny Jeans, Black Tanks and Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

Two slightly different outfits, both featuring bright pants and black tanks.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Jacket: no label white drape jacket

Necklace: Dogeared silver wishbone necklace layered with Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest round neck lace detail top
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This is a little more dressed up than I'd normally get for working from home and doing daycare drop off / pick up, but we had an evening out planned to have dinner with a friend so I put a little more effort in.

I was trying on a few different jackets in the morning, trying to find a nice one that would work with this, when i saw this little lightweight one. I'm pleased it's getting warmer in Brisbane so I can start wearing things like this again. I've really been looking forward to spring!


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, white blazer, black blouson tank, pink leopard print jeans, cap toe flats, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.

Other ways to wear: white blazer belted over a baby bump, blouson tank and a lace pencil skirt, pink leopard print jeans in winter, cap toe flats and a wrap dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and maxi dresses.

Tank: Zalora basics ruffle hem tank in black
Jeans: Emerson red skinny jeans

Why I wore it:

I was in such a rush on this morning, and already late, so you get a quick pic with my little fluffy and not so fluffy children photobombing! It's impossible to keep toddler T still, but most of the time he likes to run around behind the tripod. I usually manage to grab a photo without him in the frame for the blog, but didn't have time to take a few shots this time.

As this peplum tank is sleeveless, I added the cardigan to keep me warm, but ended up taking it off later in the day as it was a gloriously warm spring day.


Last worn: grey cardi, black peplum tank, red skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: grey cardi and a printed dress, peplum tank worn tucked in with a skirt, red skinny jeans and a printed cami, ballet flats and maxi skirts, Rebecca Minkoff love bag and a little black dress.

Corporate Style: Blazers, Colourful Pants and Printed Tops, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran Bag

Wearing some colourful pants to the office. Well, one pair of colourful pants, and sneaking in a pair of coloured jeans to work and passing them off as normal pants.

Since I'm doing the Frocktober challenge this year, I wanted to try wear something other than dresses to the office (I wore these back at the end of September). When I get around to posting my October outfits, it's going to be all dresses!

What I wore:

Jacket: Zara cream jersey blazer

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace
Top: Target ruffle sleeve dog print blouse
Pants: Jeanswest 'Fiona' skinny leg pant in shiraz
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

I've worn this top with red pants before, so it was an easy choice to try my burgundy ones. I really liked this outfit combination! The blazer and pants combo I've worn together before too, there was very little thinking required around this outfit. Nice and simple.

It was good to be able to wear these pants again, the last time I wore them I was in the accident and injured my knee. But it's healing up nicely!


Last worn: jersey blazer, dachshund print blouse, burgundy pants, camel flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: jersey blazer and jeans, dachshund print blouse and a pencil skirt, burgundy pants on the weekend, camel flats and a plaid shirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and leopard print pants.

Buy blazers at Shopbop (Starting from $40!):

Since I've previously shared some of the colourful pants available at Shopbop, I thought I'd show you the great blazers instead! There is a Rag & Bone blazer that's really similar to the one I'm wearing above, but it is on the more expensive side.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer

Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace
Blouse: Jeanswest 'Ricky' ruffle front top in midnight
Pants: Jeanswest 'shale' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

I was looking for another pair of pants I could wear to work, so that I didn't end up wearing the burgundy pants above twice in one week! Apart from the burgundy pair, all my other pants are jeans and I don't have anything just for work after my wardrobe detox. Pants are hard for me to find, being petite. That's why I have so many jeans from Jeanswest - they just fit perfectly, so I'll keep buying them ;)

I have worn these jeans into the office before, so I decided to wear them that way again. They are quite a dark grey and you wouldn't really know they were denim just by glancing at them. They work nicely for my business casual office that is more casual than business.


Last worn: Zara black jersey blazer, polka dot ruffle tank, grey skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black blazer and a striped dress, polka dot ruffle tank and red accessories, grey skinny jeans in summer, ballet flats and a pencil skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag and a little red dress.
