Printed tops, Cardigans and Grey Jeans With Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sticking with a classic outfit formula and keeping the accessories the same, with my Chloe Marcie bag and Adidas Superstar sneakers, but these two outfits look a little different! Different printed tops and colours make these outfits feel unique when I just lazily copied the same outfit formula each day.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was actually a colder morning than I expected and I wished I'd picked a thicker cardigan with full length sleeves to wear. Thankfully it warmed up so much during the day though, in the afternoon I was even pushing the sleeves of the cardigan further up and considering taking it off. We had to get to school extra early in the morning, then I helped out in my son's class before working from home and doing the school pickup in the afternoon with a quick stop at the library on the way home.

I really like this fern print tank. The colours are so pretty together, and I felt it was overdue a wear! With the grey cardigan and charcoal grey skinny jeans I thought this tank would stand out a bit more, but I still really liked this outfit. The gold circle necklace and gold and black beaded bracelets were a bit of matchy-matchy with the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.


Last worn: grey cardigan, gold circle necklace, leaf print tank, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and printed jeans, leaf print tank and pencil skirt, grey skinny jeans and blazer, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and florals.

Chloe Marcie Handbag Reveal:

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy diamond print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was another cold morning, but I definitely didn't need all these layers in the afternoon! The scarf came off pretty quickly. Had my usual jeans and tee outfit for working from home - so comfortable for winter! But added a little more colour with the diamond print scarf and the mustard yellow cardigan. 

I picked this mustard cardigan to wear not just because I love how it looks with the grey jeans, but also because it stands out, and I took a late lunch to surprise my son as he got an award at school. We are all so proud of him, he actually won two awards - one he was expecting and another one that was a surprise to him but we had known about for a while, so hubby and my mum came along too to share his excitement. So proud of him!

How You Can Wear It:

Cosy cardigans are nice layers with jeans in winter. If you go for a plain, block colour one like these grey and yellow ones, you can easily wear them with other prints without worrying about anything clashing.

Kmart Dresses, Black Ankle Boots and Blue Balenciaga Day Bag

Layering up a couple of Kmart midi dresses with jackets and my trusty black ankle boots, for two different days back in winter.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was such a busy day! My son had an appointment in the city in the morning and I was stressing a little about it as we were running late. Thankfully despite the heavy traffic on the way into the city, it wasn't too bad on the way out. After dropping him off at school and racing back home I was only a little late to the first of my back to back meetings for the day while working from home. My colleague had kindly moved the start time a little to accommodate me too which was very helpful.

Felt that this dress was overdue another wear, and I really wanted to try the storm blue of the Balenciaga day bag with the teal of the dress. Knowing it would be cold that morning but not sure what scarf would work with the blue and teal, I went with a cosy leather jacket. I haven't worn my leather jackets much this winter, they are usually a staple, but with our very cold early morning start I was grateful for this jacket. I thought it matched the black ankle boots nicely too.


Last worn: black leather jacket, Tiffany necklace, teal floral print midi dress, black ankle boots, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, teal floral print midi dress worn 2 ways, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga tempete day bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga Tempete Day

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Mickey Mouse printed scarf from Disneyland Paris
Earrings: Kmart pink resin teardrop statement earrings
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was a much more relaxed day! I wore a similar outfit, another Kmart midi dress with the same black ankle boots and my Balenciaga day bag again. I chose this bag again as not only do I love pink and blue together, but it's very roomy and I had space for mine and the kids water bottles in it. Only in our rush to get out the door on time to make it to a birthday party, I'd left the kids water bottles behind! Thankfully there was plenty for them to drink at the party, and they had a great time running around playing and being entertained while I sat and chatted to my friends.

I felt that this Mickey Mouse scarf was overdue another wear as it hasn't been worn in a long time! Although it has little red Mickeys on it I thought they were small enough it worked with this bright fuchsia dress, especially when paired with the blue denim jacket and blue Balenciaga day bag. I actually ended up taking the denim jacket off, it was so nice sitting the sun watching the kids play on the playground equipment.

How You Can Wear It:

Ankle boots and a jacket are an easy way to make a midi dress work for a warmer day near the end of winter - and of course you can add a scarf too for a little extra colour or print, and cosiness!
