Blue Knits, Pink Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

More cosy knits to combat the winter weather in Brisbane. I'm wearing both of these blue jumpers with pink jeans and my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.


What I wore:



Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings
Scarf: Sportsgirl animal scarf in violet
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Completely layered up for a cold morning with this blue cobalt marl knit, and big cosy purple leopard print scarf with my pink frayed hem jeans. I added the lilac earrings as I felt they matched the lighter pastel purple in the leopard print scarf, although the shades are not a perfect match I really liked the combination.

There was a morning event at school that I hung around for after school drop off, and then I worked from home before school pick up in the afternoon. While it was still windy in the afternoon the sun was out so I was able to leave the scarf at home for school pick up.


Last worn: lilac earrings, purple leopard print scarf, cobalt marl knit, pink frayed hem jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag.

Other ways to wearpurple leopard print scarf and stripes, cobalt marl knit over a dress, pink frayed hem jeans with graphic tee, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and skirt.

Jumper: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Another cosy jumper and jeans outfit as I was feeling the cold on this morning! I had a couple of errands to run and my son had a birthday party to go to. This blue ombre knit jumper is quite warm and thick so I skipped a scarf with this, which was good as it turned into a warmer afternoon. I added statement earrings as well although it's a little hard to see the silver earrings in the pics!

Although the shades of blue and pink in this outfit are different from the one above, again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag. It just goes so well with any kinds of blues and pinks, and I like how organised it keeps me with the different compartments.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue ombre marl knit jumper, Sass and bide pink jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wearblue ombre marl knit jumper and maxi skirt, Sass and bide pink jeans and duster, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag and shorts.

Knits and Maxi Skirts

Making some of my maxi skirts work in Brisbane's winter by adding some cosy knitted jumpers on top for colourful winter outfits.


What I wore:



Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagMIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold


Why I wore it:

This was a fun weekend day! I thought it might have been a bit too chilly to wear this maxi skirt but with the thick burgundy ribbed knit jumper on top, I felt nice and warm. I've worn the ochre maxi skirt with reds and burgundy shades before, I really like the combination and I loved this darker wine coloured burgundy knit against the orange, especially with the black and gold accessories.

We had a few errands to run in the morning, my son had some birthday gift cards to spend as he had picked what he wanted to use the cards on, so we did that and then took Bonnie to her last puppy training class. She graduated, very proud of her! She was surrendered twice to the shelter before we adopted her so it's awesome to see how much she is learning and growing with us.


Last worn: burgundy knit, heart and pearl earrings, double circle necklace, ochre maxi skirt, black Converse, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearburgundy knit and leopard print, ochre maxi skirt and cami, black Converse and dress, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag and jeans.

ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt 
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Another warm but colourful outfit! I wasn't sure if the cobalt marle knit and leopard print maxi skirt and pink skull scarf was too busy of an outfit all together, but I did really like the matching pink of the scarf and bag with this so gave it a go. I probably wouldn't wear the scarf and skirt together again, as it's a lot of print, but I'm glad I gave it a try at least.

Again it was a chilly and windy day, this cobalt knit was a great topper over the leopard print maxi skirt and I was warm for the school run, working from home, and then taking the kids out for a quick errand after school pick up.
