Blue Tees, Black Jeans and Printed Cover Ups

Two jeans and tee outfits with Converse, and Cotton On cover ups for working from home and school run days.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

It was a bit of a warm day but I reached for this long sleeved cover up as I spent most of the day inside working from home. I did regret my choice of cover up at school pick up, the appointment the boys had after school was cancelled so we ended up playing in the park after school instead and I was quite warm. I did appreciate it at sports in the evening though. Despite being liberal with the bug repellent I like to have a physical barrier against the mozzies too!

I liked this blue tee with the printed waterfall jacket, as the lighter blue of the tee almost matches the lighter blue in the print of the jacket. I really like a bit of matchy-matchy!


Last worn: floral waterfall jacket, blue tee, metal necklace, black jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

Other ways to wear: floral waterfall jacket and shorts, blue tee and maxi skirt, black jeans and leather jacket, black Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Cotton On navy zig zag cover up
Necklace: thrifted blue tone flat bead statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

This is a bit of a monochromatic outfit! the faded black skinny jeans with the navy tee looks very similar in shade to the navy background of the printed cover up. I liked the combination though, it created a more muted outfit. Perfect for the school run and another working from home day, with an appointment for my son after school. That was not postponed this time!

While the chevron print on the cover up is a lot brighter than the picture seems to show, I think from a distance the finer print makes it seem less colourful. I added the purple Chloe Paraty bag for a little extra colour as well, and I liked the darker bag with this outfit.

Last worn: chevron print cover up, beaded necklace, navy tee, skinny jeans, blue Converse, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: chevron print cover up and pink, navy tee and shorts, skinny jeans and graphic tee, blue Converse and dress, Chloe Paraty bag and skirt.

Black Blouses, Jeans, and Pink Bags

Two black blouse, jeans, and pink bag outfits I wore to the office recently.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet

Why I wore it:

Sometimes I struggle a bit picking a necklace for this blouse, but this pretty fuchsia statement necklace was perfect with it! I felt it added a pop of colour to the black blouse and grey jeans outfit even when I wasn't carrying around my pink Balenciaga city bag. That does add a big pop of colour too, but I don't carry it around the office, it sits on my desk.

Although the sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag and fuchsia necklace are different shades of pink, I thought they worked well together with the neutral outfit. I really liked the simplicity of this outfit, felt great in this all day.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Jeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony

Why I wore it:

I didn't like this outfit as much as the one above. Although the pink jeans are comfortable and the black blouse is a good basic piece, I just didn't enjoy wearing this as much as the outfit above. It's a shame this top isn't worn more often, being a black long sleeve blouse it's such a good basic. It just always seems to get passed over for more interesting tops. It's actually not been worn in years, so it's a piece that will be leaving my wardrobe. I'll donate it to the opshop.

Again I added another shade of pink to this outfit with the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag. It's not the same shade of pink as the jeans, but like the two different shades in the first outfit, I think the pinks looked good together. Simple outfit for another office day, even if I didn't like this as much as the first outfit.


Last worn: button detail blouse, Tiffany necklace, pink jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: button detail blouse and skirt, pink jeans and knit, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: button detail blouse in third trimester.
