Green Camis and Bright Blazers With Converse

Two green toned camis for office days, with bright blazers over the top to add even more colour.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Top: H&M mint v-neck cami
Skirt: Asos tailored tab front pencil skirt in grey
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like blue and green together, but this is the first time I've worn this mint cami with the bright cobalt blazer. It was such a fun combination! I picked the grey pencil skirt to wear as I haven't worn it for a while. It used to be an office staple before 2020, but things are a lot more casual and relaxed in the office now, and so I was debating if I even still needed it in my wardrobe or if it's too corporate. I'm so glad that I gave it another wear, pleased that it fit, and it can come back into my office rotation, it's such a good basic!

Paired with casual Converse because they are my go-to shoe lately, along with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. While it's been worn more recently than the pencil skirt, it was still overdue a wear. Like the skirt, the bag also needs to be worn more often!


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mint cami, gold circle necklace, clay earrings, grey pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and dress, mint cami and shorts, grey pencil skirt in winter, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: pencil skirt in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Cami: thrifted Cotton On pale olive cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star in hot tea
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a much cooler and wetter day than the day above, so it called for jeans! I love dressing up jeans with a blazer in the office. And with the black jeans and the light olive cami it was a bit of a neutral outfit, especially with the brown Converse and the pale Chloe Ethel bag. I think the bright orange blazer was the perfect pop of colour with this outfit!

The blazer dressed up the jeans, covered up the spaghetti straps of the cami and kept me warm on the cold and wet commute.

Last worn: orange blazer, heart stud earrings, foil bead necklace, olive cami, faded black jeans, brown Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: orange blazer and dress, olive cami and skirt, faded black jeans and leather jacket, brown Converse with black and white, Chloe Ethel bag and dress.

Printed Maxi Dresses and Cream Chloe Small Paddington Bag

Being a bit behind with sharing what I wore on the blog, these are the outfits I wore for Easter with the family. We spent the day before Easter with my family down the coast, and then Easter Sunday at church in the morning and the in-laws in the afternoon.

What I wore:

Necklace: vintage gold initial necklace
Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings

Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus red Polka Luka resin bangle and thrifted cream resin bangle duo set
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Another wearing of this beautiful floral tiered maxi dress, for Easter Sunday morning at church, an egg hunt for the kids, and then over to the in-laws for Easter lunch.

It was a warmer day than I expected so I was able to go without a jacket which was nice, and wore these thrifted sandals. The red tassel earrings are a new with tags opshop find, and they are so perfect with the red floral print in this dress. I tried to be a little more matchy-matchy with the bangles too, the red resin one was a gift from a friend but the cream resin ones were also an opshop find.

While the Chloe small Paddington bag is more of a darker creamier almost beige colour, I still thought it went nicely with all the white in this outfit, and as I've been inspired to wear my Chloe Paddington bags again this was definitely overdue a spin. It's such a cute bag.

The only think I didn't like about this outfit was that my necklace snapped! Thankfully I caught the charm as well as the chain, and have already been to the jeweller to fix it. It's a super old necklace I've had for decades so I'm pleased it was able to be fixed.

Last worn: vintage initial necklace, cream resin bracelets, red resin bangle, Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress, leopard print sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag. First time I've worn the earrings as they are a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: Orange Sherbet floral tiered maxi dress for Christmas, leopard print sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Earrings: thrifted Lovisa red tassel earrings
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc

Why I wore it:

Again I couldn't resist going matchy-matchy with the print in this dress and the red tassel earrings! This was another Easter celebration, a day earlier down the coast with my family. I wanted to be comfortable and pulled together but also be able to run around with the kids as my mum always plans the most epic Easter egg hunts. And there is so much good food, I didn't want anything restrictive to wear. This geometric print maxi dress is a firm favourite, and was also, like the braided sandals, an opshop find.

Just like in the outfit above, the cream-toned small Chloe Paddington bag doesn't match anything in this outfit, but I liked it all the same. It's such a cute accessory. I did try match it a little with the rose gold necklace, I figured the gold hardware was far away enough from the necklace that you couldn't see the mismatch in the gold tones too much.


Last worn: red tassel earrings (above), rose gold filigree heart necklace, geometric print maxi dress, braided sandals, Chloe small Paddington bag (above).

Other ways to wear: geometric print maxi dress worn 2 ways, braided sandals and skirt, Chloe small Paddington bag and jeans.
