Golden Tees and Black Skinny Jeans With Chloe Ethel Bag

Two outfits I wore recently with black skinny jeans, golden tees and printed cover ups with sandals and my Chloe Ethel bag.


What I wore:



Jacket: thrifted purple and red Paisley print duster
Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted red flat bead necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail
ShoesLes Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Jeans and tee for working from home, with a brief step way from my desk for the school run and a couple of errands before school pick up in the afternoon. While the gold foil tee is enough of a statement on its own, I added the red necklace for a little more colour. I felt the red and purple print on the cover up wasn't showing up against the gold tee as much as I expected, and thought the matching red would help the red in the print stand out.

I really liked this outfit! With the gold tee this little Chloe Ethel bag seemed like a good choice with its statement gold hardware being a little matchy. I added another print with the leopard sandals, but I think it's so subtle just being on a single strap of the sandals that it works with all the rest of the statement pieces in my outfit.

What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: Roie Designs multi chain layered beaded necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals 
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Not a metallic gold tee in this outfit, more of a golden yellow! Still sticking with the statement necklace, printed cover up, black skinny jeans and sandals outfit formula, again with the Chloe Ethel bag. I liked the Ethel with the brown of the leopard print cover up and mustard yellow tee. Again it was a jeans and tee outfit for working from home and the school run, and the kids had sports in the evening.

Denim Dresses With Yellow Mini 5 Zip Bag and Yellow Necklaces

Two denim dress outfits for spring, both accessorised with this adorable little yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. It works well with the different denim washes.


What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Dress: Kmart denim short sleeve button front midi dress 
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Got this denim maxi dress out again for another kids' birthday party. It's quite a thick denim and warm dress so I'm not sure I'll be able to wear it much over summer, but I love the darker wash and the long maxi length. Because it buttons fully I'd be able to wear it as a duster as well, although I have only worn it as a dress so far.

Despite being a warmer dress it was perfect on this day, and I liked the simple braided sandals with it. I wanted to add a little extra colour with all that darker blue denim, so I added the chartreuse necklace and then the yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini5 zip bag. Even though they are not the same shades of yellow I liked the two pieces together against the blue denim.


Last worn: denim maxi dress, chartreuse necklace, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag.

What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Another denim dress for another spring day! I needed something nice and simple for a busy day, with an appointment for my son in the morning and then working from home for the rest of the day. This tiered denim dress is so comfortable and I liked the extra blue with the Converse sneakers. Like the outfit above, again I chose the little yellow mini 5 zip bag to add some colour.

And I chose this silver and yellow pendant necklace to follow the same outfit formula as the outfit above. It pairs so well with the bag too. I like a little bit of matchy-matchy with my accessories sometimes!


Last worn: tiered denim dress, yellow necklace, blue Converse sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).
