Blue Tees, Pink Jeans, Grey Cardigans and Luna Blue Edie Bag

Another fun set of colourful and comfortable jeans and tee outfits. Both following the simple outfit formula of blue tee, pink jeans, converse and a grey cardigan with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.


What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

These pink leopard print jeans were definitely overdue another wear! I really like wearing them with blue, so it was an easy choice to wear the blue Converse Chucks and blue tee with them. While it was a warmer winter day and a scarf wasn't needed, I did add this grey cardi. 

Although the pink and rose gold necklace isn't an exact match to the pink of the leopard print, I thought that was a nice combination. My Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great blue that goes with everything, so again while it didn't match I liked it in this outfit. It fit a library book inside my bag too as we took advantage of the public holiday and took the kids to an indoor play place. It was a beautiful day and all the other businesses in the area were shut for the holiday, so I was happy this place was open as it meant it was a little quieter than it usually is on a weekend. Perfect time to take the kids, they had a blast, and I got some reading time in as they jumped around on the play equipment!

Dress: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

A very different shade of pink here, but again following the same formula as the outfit above. Pink jeans, blue tee and grey cardigan! I went with the magenta Sass and Bide jeans and the blue graphic print tee instead, to switch it up a little. No necklace this time as the design on the tee felt like enough interest for my outfit. The grey wool cardigan is a super cosy one, I needed it as it was a really cold August winter day, and I wanted the extra warmth! Did regret my choice a little though. We were heading out for a bit of shopping and to grab lunch with my mum - the shopping centre had the heaters on blast for the cold day and I was definitely sweating in this, much too warm! Needed it when we stepped back outside though.

As with the first outfit, again the Luna blue of the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag didn't match any of the shades in the outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the blue and grey still. Nice and comfortable for a quiet weekend day, just a little too warm in the shops.

Just realised when writing up this post that this is the first time I've worn this cardigan since I rescued it from my desk when I went back into the office in 2021, it had been locked away in a closed down office since 2020. 😂

Navy Striped Dresses, Scarves and Ankle Boots With Pink Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

As the start of Spring (1st September) gets closer here in Brisbane, I took the chance to brave bare legs. Still layered up with scarves and ankle boots though as winter isn't over just yet.


What I wore:

navy striped dress ankle boots leather jacket louis vutton scarf mini 5 zip bag | awayfromblue

white navy striped dress with Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware  | awayfromtheblue


JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day. It was a really cloudy morning, threatening rain, but I was sure it would warm up later so I went bare legged. I was so cold in the afternoon though, it just seemed to get colder through the day! Luckily it was a busy afternoon, so the running around kept me warm! In the morning we had school drop off, I helped out in my son's class, and then I worked from home. After school pick up we ran a couple of errands with a stop to buy presents for a birthday party that weekend, and visited the library. So busy!

At least I liked this outfit, even if I did regret not wearing leggings with it! This Louis Vuitton scarf is such a nice blue with the white and navy striped dress, and I really like how the scarf pops against the black leather jacket too. The jacket was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black ankle boots, and the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag added even more colour.

Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 


Why I wore it:

I loved all the colours in this outfit, and unlike the day above, bare legs were perfect as it warmed up quickly! I even considered taking the scarf off in the afternoon, although for sports in the evening it had cooled off a lot and I did cover up my legs.

It was a relaxed day. School drop off, a quick errand, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon, then sports in the evening. I really like pink and purple and blue together, and although the pieces in this outfit are all different intensities of these shades, I love the combination! The navy and black striped dress is a great backdrop for the pink mini 5 zip bag and purple scarf to shine.
