Purple Cardigans, Prima Denim Skinny Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

I've been wearing this combination of colourful cardigan, printed top and skinny jeans often. It's a great stay-at-home-mum outfit, and extremely comfortable.

What I wore:

Away From Blue | Stripe Tee purple cardi Jeanswest Prima Denim skinny jeans RM Love

AwayFromTheBlue | Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey purple cardi skinny jeans
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
JacketJeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
JeansJeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs studded mouse flats in grey
BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this out to toddler time at the local library with toddler T. It's not the first time that I've worn this tee and jeans together before (although it was warmer last time I wore the combination!). It's a nice easy outfit. Last time I wore it with a colourful scarf, this time around with a colourful cardi.

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit was the necklace - I think a different necklace would have worked better.

Why I wore it:

Another really easy spring outfit (incredibly similar to this one!). You can tell I've been enjoying not having to work my wardrobe around my knee bandage now that my knee has mostly recovered - I've been alternating between my favourite pairs of skinny jeans! It's good to wear them again, wanted to get as much wear out of them as possible before Frocktober, and before the really warm spring weather hits.

Wore this out for a catch up with some of the mums and bubs from playgroup. We try get together in the school holiday breaks as well so it's not too long between seeing each other. It's always good to chat and compare notes about how we are handling the latest toddler developments!

Colourful Skinny Jeans, Black Tanks and Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

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

What I wore:

Away From Blue | Dinner Date outfit black tank pink leopard print skinny jeans RM Love bag

Away From Blue | Rebecca Minkoff Love Cross Body with pink leopard print jeans
SunniesRayban new Wayfarers
Jacket: no label white drape jacket
NecklaceDogeared silver wishbone necklace layered with Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
TankJeanswest round neck lace detail top
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs two tone flats in blush and black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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!

BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

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.
