Denim Skirts, Colourful Tees, Printed Layers and Grey MAB

Two colourful v-neck tees with printed cover ups, denim skirts, and my Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag that was overdue a wear.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Kimono 'Dream Catch Me' print
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Anko Kmart short sleeve slub v-neck tee in copper (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets:  Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for church in the morning, and a playdate for my son in the afternoon. When I bought this tee I thought of this printed cover up right away! The copper colour is so perfect with the orange and red in this cover up print, and I really liked the combination. I was glad this pairing turned out as well as I hoped it would when I saw the tee in the store.

I kept the rest of my outfit neutral, with the black sandals, black denim skirt, and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. It's been a while since I wore this bag so it was good to get it out again.

Last worn: heart stud earrings, printed cover up, mixed metal necklace, black denim skirt, black sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAB. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: printed cover up and jeans, black denim skirt and florals, black sandals and dress, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAB worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cocoon cardigan
Earrings: thrifted Target hammered silver circle earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoes: Havaianas glitter Rosa Macaron
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busier weekend day, with a trip to the vets for Bonnie as it's coming up on a year after we adopted her and she was due her annual vaccines. The kids came along for support for her too, she was such a brave dog!

After the vets it was a few errands and getting some jewellery repaired, I'd been meaning to do it for a while so it was nice to find a local place. I even had time for a browse in my favourite opshop on the ay home, although I didn't score any new wardrobe items for me as I'd had a lot of success at the start of the month, I did pick up some books for the kids and I.

This pink tee is one I've hit 30 wears on, and I will really need to do a 30 ways to wear post on it soon, it's a firm favourite! I thought it added just the right amount of colour to the grey Nobody denim skirt and the grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag. The leopard print cocoon cardigan was nice and cosy, although I definitely didn't need it later in the afternoon as it warmed up into such a warm day.


Last worn: silver circle earrings, leopard cardigan, faux pearl necklace, pink tee, grey nobody Denim skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB (above).

Other ways to wear: leopard cardigan and jeans, pink tee and shorts, grey nobody Denim skirt with yellow, Rebecca Minkoff MAB and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAB in third trimester.

Dolman Sleeve Blouses, Skinny Jeans and Chloe Paddington Bag

With the cooler autumn weather in Brisbane, I've started reaching for my jeans more often. I wear them to work as well as on my work from home or weekend days, they are great in the cooler weather. When I wore both of these jeans I dressed them up a little with statement sleeved black blouses, chunky necklaces, and my Chloe Paddington bag. My friends and I have been talking about the Paddington since it was re-released and I couldn't resist getting my old bags out again!

What I wore:

Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Blouse: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Valleygirl teal skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

This actually turned into a much warmer day than I had expected, and I regretted the decision to wear jeans a little! I did like how well these teal skinny jeans matched the teal wooden bead in my statement necklace though, such a good pairing and the necklace was a nice pop of colour against the black blouse. This top is an old favourite, and it's great for autumn where I don't need an extra layer or jacket on top and can show off the dolman sleeves.

With the necklace matching the jeans, and the black Converse matching the blouse, I added some brown with the brun Chloe Paddington bag. It's an original from 2007, and I bought it second hand around 2008/2009. I love it so much! While it hasn't been worn a lot recently, I wore it a lot at the beginning of my blogging days.

It was good to get it out again and remember why I love it so much, expect to see it pop up more often. I don't always follow trends, shopping mostly second hand anyway, but I love this bag (my first designer bag buy!) and it's good to have an excuse to get it out again.

Last worn: silver circle earrings, wooden statement necklace, black button up blouse, teal skinny jeans, black Converse, Chloe brun Paddington.

Other ways to wear: black button up blouse and skirt, teal skinny jeans and stripes, black Converse and dress, Chloe brun Paddington and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Chloe brun Paddington in second trimester.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Top: thrifted Seed heritage black dolman sleeve blouse (new purchase)

Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco mini shimmy bracelet in bluebell
Bag: Chloe Paddington in 2007 Brun

Why I wore it:

Although this outfit is less colourful than the one above as I stuck to neutrals in this outfit, I also really liked this! The white skinny jeans were a really easy pairing with this black dolman sleeve blouse I thrifted recently. Black clothing never seems to photograph well, but it has a subtle rib all over and with the full sleeves it's such a nice twist on a plain black top. I knew I had to get it at the opshop, such a good piece for office days!

I kept with the neutrals with the brown wooden necklace, brown Chloe Paddington bag again, and brown Converse sneakers. The necklace and bag are such a good match, and I felt the brown Converse complimented them both nicely, even if they don't match exactly.


Last worn: heart stud earrings, wooden statement necklace, white cropped skinny jeans, brown Converse, Chloe brun Paddington (above). First time I've worn the blouse as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: white cropped skinny jeans and knit, brown Converse and skirt,  Chloe brun Paddington and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Chloe brun Paddington in second trimester.
