Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans And Colourful Blazers With Balenciaga Bags

Adding some colour and a little more formality to casual striped tee and jeans outfit for the office with these bold and colourful blazers. Both blazers are preloved finds and  they are great additions to my work wardrobe.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India with handmade textured strap

Why I wore it:

I've been enjoying wearing oranges and reds together. It's a very autumnal colour scheme, but this combination of the burgundy striped tee and the orange blazer was so subtle it felt like it worked well for spring. The faded black skinny jeans and the white Converse were a comfortable choice and nice neutrals, so I added a little extra colour with the Balenciaga first bag, which really pops against the orange blazer. The turquoise tassel necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with it too.

It was a quiet, mostly sitting at my desk day, so jeans and a tee was perfect for my relaxed office. I did forget to throw the blazer back on for a meeting I had, but the meeting room was quite warm so it was better I didn't have that extra layer!

Why I wore it:

Another outfit following the same formula, showing how fun a bright blazer is even over a simple jeans and tee outfit. Again I went with a striped tee and black skinny jeans. The blue blazer, blue beaded necklace and blue Converse sneakers are all different shades but they work so well together. I can never have too many shades of blue in an outfit!

With all the black and blue, I added another bright Balenciaga bag. Like in the outfit above, I like the bright combination of the contrasting bag and blazer. And the magenta Balenciaga day bag was definitely overdue another wear, it's been a while since I last wore it!

Orange Maxi Skirts, White Tees and Mimco Black Crossbody Bag

Another easy outfit formula repeated twice. Two orange maxi skirt outfits with white tees and my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd last worn this orange maxi skirt, so got it out again to wear to church. I liked the simple white tee with it, but felt it needed a little more and this statement beaded necklace was perfect. The burgundy and natural wood beads work so well with the ochre maxi skirt and look good against the plain white tee. I added simple sandals as it was a hot day, and my little black Mimco crossbody bag.


Last worn: white v-neck tee, statement beaded necklace, ochre maxi skirt, sandals, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: white v-neck tee and denim skirt, ochre maxi skirt and knit, sandals and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted multi strand multi colour disc bead necklace with tassels
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
Shoes: Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I recreated it again following the same outfit formula, with this bright coral maxi skirt. It's a beautiful bright redish-orange in person and I love how colourful it is. It was NWT at the opshop for just $7 too, such a bargain! I wore my textured white tee with it to add a little more detail, but still added a statement necklace on top. This multi strand tassel one is nice and colourful.

Wore another pair of sandals as well. These ones, like the skirt and necklace, were an opshop find too. Good outfit for a day of working from home, doing the school run, and running a couple of errands. I didn't need to carry more than the essentials, so I wore my Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag again.
