Bright Tees and Boucle Jackets With Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

Wearing some neutral outfits to the office lately, with lots of grey. Adding more interest to the outfits with brightly coloured tees and textured jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This marigold tee can sometimes look really orange in person so I paired it with these charcoal grey Nobody Denim jeans, rather than any of my trusty black skinny jeans. I did add the black boucle jacket on top, but I think that worked well with the white thread through it so it didn't look too orange and black and Halloween themed!

I picked the grey Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag to wear with this as I wanted to match the neutrals in the majority of the outfit, but a brighter bag would have worked well with this I think. I also wasn't sure about the necklace - I often struggle to find the right necklace to wear with the rounded necklace of this jacket. But I got a lovely compliment from my colleague on this outfit that made me smile. Particularly because the only reason I'd worn such a bright tee that morning was due to a lack of sleep the night before, trying to fake looking awake!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

There are a lot of textures in this outfit with the jacquard jacket, quilted pencil skirt and quilted Rebecca Minkoff Love crossbody bag. I liked the plain pastel yellow tee with all those neutral layers for just a little touch of colour. Just like the outfit above, I wasn't sure on a necklace. In the end I decided just to wear these silver statement earrings and skip wearing a necklace completely, which I really liked with this outfit.

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and dress, yellow tee, grey pencil skirt with green, white leather Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag worn 30 ways.

Navy Dresses, Colourful Blazers and Pink Jean MAC Crossbody Bag

Adding a little more colour to neutral navy dresses for the office with these colourful blazers, and pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

There is a lot of blue in this outfit with the navy tiered dress, cobalt blue blazer and the blue Converse Chucks, but I loved the different shades together. I wanted to introduce a little more colour with accessories so I went with this multi coloured tassel necklace. It's really fun against the plain navy backdrop of the dress.

Because I always carry a separate work-issued laptop bag to the office, I just need a little bag for my own essentials and this Jean MAC crossbody bag hadn't been worn in a while so was overdue a wear. I really like pink bags with navy dresses like this. And the bag is the perfect size for my wallet, keys and phone.


Last worn: blue blazer, tassel necklace, navy tiered dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: blue blazer and skirt, navy tiered dress and tote bag, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag and shorts.

Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Another navy dress outfit for work - I've finally hit 30 wears with this navy and black striped shift dress, which is a staple in the cooler weather with the thicker fabric and long sleeves. It was great for this cooler spring day with just the light blush blazer as a topper. And even though the blush blazer is a different shade of pink from the deeper pink on the Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag, I like the two together. It's not the first time I've worn this combination of pinks, I always enjoy it.

I went with black Converse this time, and the black and silver necklace, as they matched the black stripes in the dress nicely.
