Printed Skinny Jeans, Black Tops and Cardigans

I have a couple of printed jeans. While they are still jeans, they are a little step away from blue denim and make me feel less like I'm stuck in an outfit rut!

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

The style challenge for the day was 'fresh' and I decided to stretch the definition a little. I often wear these leopard print jeans with grey tees so I tried something slightly different and 'fresher' and went with a black tee instead, ha!

I actually really liked the black tee with these pants. I wasn't so pleased with the cardigan though, wish I hadn't worn it. While it was cold in the morning before we went out it was pretty warm the rest of the day and I didn't need it at all.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, grey cardigan, black tee, pink leopard print skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and a maxi skirt, black tee and blue jeans, pink leopard print skinny jeans in winter, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in the office.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Jeanswest brown marle waterfall cardigan
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tank: Jeanswest round neck lace detail top
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

I'm still so undecided with this outfit! It wasn't for a style challenge, I just felt like I wanted to wear these printed jeans again, and thought the black tank was a nice piece to wear with them. As it was a little windy, and we were having someone over in the evening so I'd need something to cover up with as I fed baby boy, I added the cardigan. I tried this marle cardigan to see how it would look with the chevron pants, and really liked the combination.

Then I saw the pics I took and I wasn't so sure. One of those outfits where you feel it's better than the picture. Won't be wearing this cardigan and the printed jeans together again. Although I was happy wearing it I'm just not sure it looks the best reviewing the photo.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), brown marle cardi, black tank, Sass & Bide skinny jeans, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB (above).

Other ways to wear: brown marle cardi and maxi dress, black tank and lace pencil skirt, Sass & Bide skinny jeans and purple, ballet flats and flares, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB and a dress.

Simple Spring Outfit: Grey Tee, Skinny Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini Bag

If I had to pick just one most versatile item of clothing, it would be a grey tee. Although I don't have the 14 I used to, I still have quite a few in my wardrobe. Far more than anyone reasonably needs... You can't beat a classic skinny jeans and grey top combination though, it's simple spring dressing!

A good grey handbag is another versatile piece that goes with everything. The Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Mini bag I'm wearing and love so much has been discontinued, but I've been able to find a few second hand ones that I have listed below - all under $200! Use the code 'FALLFAVES' for an extra 20% off too! If you're looking elsewhere for one, it can be called a MAM or mini MAB as well.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with Tai gold alphabet necklaces
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

I didn't try meet the style challenge for the day I wore this - I picked the simple grey tee and jeans combo to wear to our family photoshoot. At the baby expo a few months ago I entered a competition and actually won a photo session!

When toddler T was 6 months old we used a gift voucher we were given to get some family photos so I was so excited to be able to get updated ones now baby boy is 6 months old. They suggested bringing along a few outfit changes, but with a toddler and an infant and a dog to get photos of, I figured one outfit was enough and we just went casual in denim. I bought the boys little matching tees too and they looked adorable! I'm looking forward to seeing the resulting photos.


Last worn: grey tee, skinny jeans, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB.

Other ways to wear: grey tee in the office, skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB and maternity pencil skirt.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Atmos&Here Nile wrap front jersey tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (20% off with code FALLFAVES)

Why I wore it:

The style challenge for the day was 'simple', so again I wore a grey and denim combo. Instead of the delicate and sentimental necklaces I wore above, I went for a big teething necklace. It added a nice bit of colour to my outfit, and helped keep baby boy amused! Was a quiet day, spent some time with my mother in law in the afternoon.
