Blue Tees, A-Line Skirts and Black Mimco Mim-Mazing Crossbody Bag

Wearing blue tees and a-line skirts with my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag recently.


What I wore:






Earrings
: Colette shadow dancer geo circle tassel drop earrings
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Skirt: thrifted Kmart rust button up linen blend skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Felt like it had been a while since I'd worn this skirt, and the rust coloured linen is so perfect for autumn that I had to get it out again. I wore it with this simple blue tee, and then as the paper bag waist and the tie waist and button detail on the skirt added enough interest, I skipped wearing a necklace. I did add some statement earrings, like the skirt these gold ones hadn't been worn in a while, I forgot how heavy they were! They are so pretty though, I liked the way the circles matched the circular buttons on the skirt, although they are not the easiest to see in my wavy hair.

This was a nice comfortable outfit for lunch and a couple of errands and birthday present shopping with my son.

Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

Since I enjoyed the outfit above so much I wore a very similar one again the next day for church. This time I went matchy-matchy, with the blue tee and blue Converse sneakers. Again I wore my little Mimco crossbody bag, I just needed the essentials for church.

Although this animal print ruffle hem a-line skirt is a bold statement piece, unlike the outfit above I felt I needed a necklace with this. I liked this bronze foil one, an opshop find, as it matched the colours in the skirt so well.


Last worn: blue tee, bronze foil necklace, animal print skirt, blue Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Striped Tees And Skinny Jeans To Work From Home

More autumn weather means more jeans! An old favourite pair and a newer pair I got for Christmas, both with striped tees.


What I wore:



Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans (Christmas present)
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I've worn this Coca-Cola logo striped tee, an opshop find quite a while ago. It was the perfect pairing with these teal skinny jeans. I got the jeans for Christmas from our pre-Christmas opshopping day, and I have been waiting for the perfect weather to wear them! A rainy day after the cyclone, with working from home and the kids being back at school, was a great time to get them out. They are very comfortable!

I liked the little pop of red from the logo in the tee with the teal jeans, but I kept the rest of the outfit simple with no other accessories and just my little blue mini MAC bag.


Last worn: striped tee, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the jeans as I got them for Christmas.

Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

Repeating the striped tee and skinny jeans combination again as I enjoyed it in the outfit above! It was another working from home day for me. Although the majority of the post-cyclone Alfred flooding had gone down I wasn't entirely sure I'd be able to make it all the way to the office, so I worked from home. Thankfully we hadn't lost power so while I was working the kids were able to enjoy playing computer games, as their school was unfortunately damaged by the cyclone and it took a little longer to be made safe and opened back up to students.

Just like the first outfit, I found this really comfortable, although there was no school run this time I did get out to walk the dogs and continue to check on people in the neighbourhood I saw after the wild weather. We were really lucky to have no damage.


Last worn: Tiffany necklace, rust striped tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff studded saddle bag.
