Jeanswest Maji Metallic Tank Worn 2 Ways

Thank you to everyone who left a kind comment, said some prayers or texted, called, emailed or messaged me over the last week and a half while Baby Boy was in hospital. An extra special thank you to those who visited us. We are home now to enjoy Christmas.

One of the gaps I noticed in my wardrobe when spring arrived was some nice relaxed fit block colour tanks. I was thrilled to find this metallic one at Jeanswest. I had a gift card and it was on sale! It's a very pale green with silver thread running through it, and they have it in brown and gold too. It's on sale again, with 40% off.

Since the festive season is the perfect time to wear something that sparkles I've included a few more sparkly pieces for you to shop below. Ideal for New Year's Eve party outfits!

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop

Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver (currently 40% off!)
Skirt: Izabel London Aztec print maxi skirt (C/O)
Shoes:  black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in yellow!)
Nail Polish: OPI Koala Bear-y

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy morning. We haven't been house hunting much since having Baby Boy, only because it's so much more difficult touring open houses with two little ones. We're really picky with what we want to see. Two possible houses popped up in our searches so we decided to go visit them both, and finish a little more Christmas shopping.

Although neither house made us feel like it was the perfect house for us it was nice getting out and looking at houses, it seems to have been a while since we saw any that looked promising. I was happy to wear my new tank too. I added some colour with the accessories as it seemed like a pretty plain outfit otherwise.

Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, printed maxi skirt, Havaianas, purple mini MAB tote bag. First time I've worn the top as it's a new purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed maxi skirt in winter, purple mini MAB tote bag and winter layers.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Ava elephant pendant teething necklace

Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver (currently 40% off!)
Shorts: Jeanswest 'Scarlette' printed shorts
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in gold!)
Nail Polish: OPI Koala Bear-y

Why I wore it:

I liked the plain tank and printed bottom combo above so wore it again the second time I wore this metallic tank top. Although this time with shorts instead of a max skirt. Again I wore this to do a little bit of Christmas shopping! A little bit of sparkle with the metallic thread does seem so festive for December.

It's been a year and a half since I last wore these shorts, which is a crazy amount of time. I was pregnant last spring/summer though so that's partly why these shorts were unworn. It was so good to get them out again, a nice change from the usual denim shorts I tend to default to in the warmer months.

As it's the second time I've worn this metallic tank, and I'm reviewing everything I buy after wearing it twice, my purchase review:
I really like this tank, definitely a keeper. The subtle metallic thread and shimmer makes it a great basic piece that I'll be wearing even after the festive season. It fits my wardrobe wishlist need for more basic relaxed fit tanks and I'm really pleased I bought it.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), metallic tank (above), printed shorts, studded sandals, silver mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: printed shorts and purple top, studded sandals and denim shorts, metallic silver mini MAC and stripes.

Neutral and Colourful Maxi Skirt Outfits for Spring

If you follow on instagram you'll know baby boy's in hospital. I still have pre-scheduled blog posts like this that will continue to be published, and he's just in as a precaution. We hope to be home for Christmas!

I enjoyed the monochrome maxi skirt outfits I wore a short time ago so much that I wore the skirts similarly again! I liked these outfits just as much as the original ones. While it's summer here in Australia, I wore these in Spring in November.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

A simple maxi skirt and tee outfit was all that was needed for a quiet day. A little bit of shopping in the morning and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.

Although I've had both this tee and skirt for about 2 years I was surprised to look through the blog and see this is the first time I've worn them together! It was a nice easy outfit with a little bit of colour with the necklace and purple mini MAB tote bag.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, black tee, grey jersey maxi skirt, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wear: black tee and leopard print, grey jersey maxi skirt and teal henley, studded gladiator sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and leopard print scarf.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
Bag: Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

This more colourful outfit was worn for a busier day. We had playgroup in the morning and then another specialist appointment for baby boy in the city in the afternoon. Thankfully my mum helped me with that last part, as although he'd run around at playgroup all morning it's still a big ask to have a toddler sit quietly in a doctor's office.

Blue being my favourite colour, of course I really liked the colour of this outfit. Not too sure about the length of the top with the skirt though. The front panel style means I can't really tuck it in a little (like I'd usually do with a long top) and still breastfeed in it. I did think the proportions were a little off, so I probably wouldn't wear these two pieces together again.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), navy breastfeeding tank, chambray maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.

Other ways to wear: navy breastfeeding tank and blush blazer, chambray maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals and stripes, Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag and gold jeans.
