Blue Knits, Maxi Skirts and Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

More blue jumpers again! I only have a handful of knitted jumpers as they aren't needed too many days of the year here in Brisbane, but most of them are blue and I've been enjoying wearing them in the colder weather. This time around I've worn them with maxi skirts and scarves, to make the skirts work for colder days.

What I wore:

Scarf: Target Sadie woven scarf in blue spot print
Jumper: thrifted blue Mossman knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

This was a very cold morning, so this polyester ribbed knit jumper was the perfect choice for keeping me warm. The maxi skirt is perfectly light for a hot day, but with the jumper and scarf on top it kept me warm enough for an early morning vet appointment for Cooper after the school run, and then working from home before school pick up in the afternoon.

With the blue knit, navy scarf and blue Converse, there was a lot of blue in this outfit, so I wore my little Polene lilac Numero Neuf mini bag for an extra touch of colour. And because as much as I love blue, three shades of blue in an outfit indicated I probable needed to pick a different colour for my bag!


Last worn: polka dot scarf, Mossman knit, black maxi skirt, blue Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wear: polka dot scarf and stripes, Mossman knit over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, blue Converse and pencil skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and dress.

What I wore:

Scarf: star print pashmina from Melbourne Markets
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Polene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 

Why I wore it:

Another blue heavy outfit! Surprisingly I haven't worn this cobalt knit jumper with the navy stripe maxi skirt before! I figured this day was a good day to give the skirt a wear, as although it was a cold winter day and the skirt has a side split I spent most of the day inside, working from home. I only went out in the morning to drop my son off at his friends house and then pick him up again in the afternoon after work.

It was a very cold morning though, and even with this cosy pashmina scarf on top of the jumper I did wish I'd picked a maxi skirt that didn't have a side split, yet almost every winter I try making this maxi skirt warmer for the weather, I really should just leave it aside on colder days!

Blue Knits, Pink Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

More cosy knits to combat the winter weather in Brisbane. I'm wearing both of these blue jumpers with pink jeans and my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Completely layered up for a cold morning with this blue cobalt marl knit, and big cosy purple leopard print scarf with my pink frayed hem jeans. I added the lilac earrings as I felt they matched the lighter pastel purple in the leopard print scarf, although the shades are not a perfect match I really liked the combination.

There was a morning event at school that I hung around for after school drop off, and then I worked from home before school pick up in the afternoon. While it was still windy in the afternoon the sun was out so I was able to leave the scarf at home for school pick up.


Last worn: lilac earrings, purple leopard print scarf, cobalt marl knit, pink frayed hem jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple leopard print scarf and stripes, cobalt marl knit over a dress, pink frayed hem jeans with graphic tee, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue jumper in first trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Jumper: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Another cosy jumper and jeans outfit as I was feeling the cold on this morning! I had a couple of errands to run and my son had a birthday party to go to. This blue ombre knit jumper is quite warm and thick so I skipped a scarf with this, which was good as it turned into a warmer afternoon. I added statement earrings as well although it's a little hard to see the silver earrings in the pics!

Although the shades of blue and pink in this outfit are different from the one above, again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag. It just goes so well with any kinds of blues and pinks, and I like how organised it keeps me with the different compartments.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue ombre marl knit jumper, Sass and bide pink jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue ombre marl knit jumper and maxi skirt, Sass and bide pink jeans and duster, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and shorts.
