Coral Tees, Black Jeans, Converse, Printed Cover Ups and Falabella Bag

Some cooler and rainy spring days had me reaching for my jeans again! Both of these outfits have black skinny jeans, with Converse and my Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I added more colour with the coral tees and printed cover ups.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Jeans: thrifted Cotton On The High Rise Skinny Jean black coated denim
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This was a very colourful outfit! With the red print in this tropical palm print cover up I was surprised to realise that I hadn't worn it with this coral tee before, they seem like such an obvious combination! I tried it out and I really liked it but figured I'd make the rest of the outfit neutral to balance out all that bright colour. The coated skinny jeans are a firm favourite after I recently thrifted them, and then the black Converse and black Stella McCartney Fallabella bag (also an opshop find!) were nice matchy-matchy neutrals too.

Had a fun morning out with the kids - we had to get new school shoes for them as we only got 3 terms out of the shoes we got at the start of the school year unfortunately. But we headed out to the outlets to take advantage of the sales, got ourselves a few extra treats too and managed to buy a few Christmas presents as well. It was a really productive day, and the storm that had been threatening all morning hit when we were inside the outlets so we thankfully missed the worst of it.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: thrifted neutral silicone and wood bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

While the colours of this outfit are a little more muted compared to the outfit above, it's a similar outfit formula with the coral tee, printed cover up, and then black skinny jeans, black Converse and black Falabella bag. I liked this just as much as the outfit above. Jeans and a tee is a good outfit choice for rainy spring days. I just had the school run and then working from home, so wanted to be comfortable.

I liked the paler coral tee with all the black here, and the brown animal print cover up works so nicely with the muted colour of the tee and all the black in the outfit. I also like how everything in this outfit is an opshop find! The only piece that wasn't thrifted is the black Converse.

Other ways to wear: animal print cover up and shorts, pale coral tee and skirt, faded black skinny jeans and cardigan, black Converse and maxi skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and dress.

Blue Tanks, Denim Shorts, Yellow Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Sticking again with easily repeatable outfit formulas for some hot spring days recently. Both these outfits have a little yellow bag, blue tanks, denim shorts and a printed cover up.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: Sketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

Although the yellow tassel necklace is a slightly lighter shade of yellow than that in the bag, I liked the almost matchy-matchy-ness of the two accessories together. I picked this fun floral cover up to go on top as it has yellow in the flower print, but it doesn't really show too much in the photos because of how it's draped. I really liked this combination though!

Went with a simple blue tank untucked over my Bermuda denim shorts and my comfortable Sketchers sneakers as we headed out for a citizen science event at a local bushland reserve. I knew it would be a hot day with a lot of walking, so wanted to keep my knee comfortable. Luckily because I was there with the kids we were sorted into the kid group and there wasn't too much walking, but we still did manage to see an awesome number of bugs so they had a great time.


Last worn: floral duster, yellow tassel necklace, blue tank, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster and skirt, blue tank and printed jeans, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Sketchers and linen shorts, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip

Why I wore it:

While I didn't need the navy tie dye duster for sun protection on my shoulders like I did with the floral cover up in the first photo, I still love the combination of a printed cover up with a plain tank. This turquoise one works well with other shades of blue and I really liked it with the tie dye cover up and the blue denim shorts. 

Again I went matchy-matchy with the yellow accessories, the same Rebeccaa Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, and this yellow beaded necklace. Even added a little yellow hair tie to further match. I like yellow and blue together.

It was a bit of a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and a couple appointments for the kids in the afternoon. I liked this outfit for keeping me cool and comfortable for all the running around.
