Band Tees and Maxi Skirts With Turquoise Balenciaga First Bag

While I have been favouring my jeans so far this winter, I do enjoy wearing my maxi skirts in the cold weather too! Layered up these two maxi skirts recently with some band tees, and a pop of colour with my Balenciaga first bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee (new purchase)
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

This band tee is a new wardrobe addition! I was so sad when Kisschasy did their final tour a few years ago, but they reunited for a series of gigs this year and I unfortunately couldn't make it. When they put the merch online though I knew I had to grab a tee to add to my Kisschasy band tee collection!

With the double denim of this chambray maxi skirt and white denim jacket outfit, I think the bright red and yellow in the graphic print really popped. Wore the Balenciaga Blue India first bag for a little extra colour, even though the outfit didn't really need it. Comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers too for the school run, working from home and a little driving around after school pick up to run errands.


Last worn: white denim jacket, chambray maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Balenciaga first bag. First time I've worn the tee as it is a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and sundress, chambray maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar sneakers and stripe dress, Balenciaga first bag and shorts.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga First

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Tee: Kisschasy The Final Roar band tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

This was a much colder winter day than the one above! Similar routine, with the school run and working from home, and also a little trip to the vets for Cooper. As it was a bit chillier than I had expected, but I'd already planned out this outfit to wear, I just added this cosy leather jacket on top instead of the denim jacket I had planned. It made for a very neutral outfit, with the black and white printed band tee and the black leather jacket, black maxi skirt, and black ankle boots. I think that the Balenciaga first bag really shines here as a great pop of colour!


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, Kisschasy Final Roar band tee, black maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Balenciaga first bag (above).

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and leopard print, Kisschasy Final Roar band tee and jeans, black maxi skirt at Disney, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga first bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Kisschasy Final Roar band tee in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

Black Jeans and Burgundy Bag With Printed Layers

Two more black denim outfits - I have been loving my jeans with the cooler winter weather! Both of these are accessorised with my burgundy Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag, and some printed layers to add a little extra interest to basic outfit formulas.

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

I thought that the burgundy Rebecca Minkoff avery bag would go nicely with this purple tee - it really seemed to bring out the purple in it! As I've mentioned before, it's one I'm trying to hit 30 wears with although the spandex in it that made it so soft and stretchy is starting to show its age. It definitely needs to be worn with a cover up on top, so the black and white striped duster was perfect. I added the wooden necklace too, I really like this statement piece but don't wear it nearly enough!

With the faded black skinny jeans, these Converse All Stars are a staple, perfect for a quiet day with the school run and working from home, before a special dinner with the family in the evening.


Last worn: black and white striped duster, purple tee, wooden statement necklace, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped duster and dress, purple tee and skirt,  faded black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff burgundy Avery bag and mustard dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple tee in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Avery Crossbody: What's In My Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody bag in burgundy

Why I wore it:

Another work from home and school run day meant another sneakers and black jeans outfit! With the silver tank and the black skinny jeans, this was a pretty monochromatic outfit. I thought that the floral waterfall cover up was a fun way to add more colour and interest to the outfit, although I do wish the navy necklace had matched the blue in the floral print a little more, the shades were quite different.

I ended up really liking the burgundy bag with this too! I haven't tried burgundy and magenta together before, but gave it a go as it meant I could reuse the bag from the day before and didn't have to swap anything out. Time is of the essence trying to get everyone up and ready for school in the mornings!


Last worn: floral cover up, navy necklace, metallic silver tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody (above).

Other ways to wear: floral cover up and scarf, metallic silver tank and shorts, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Avery crossbody and little black dress.

Skinny Jeans, Blouses and Chloe Paraty Bag For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing another two outfits I wore to the office recently. Both are on the casual side of business casual. Taking advantage of the ability to wear jeans on a weekday, with my darker denim and some pretty blouses.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Blouse: Jeanswest Chana long sleeve stud top in night sky navy
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty 

Why I wore it:

A little trio of blues here with the periwinkle Chloe Paraty, blue Converse Chucks, and the navy blouse. This blouse is a firm favourite for office wear, even before the pandemic, and it was nice it was cool enough to get it out again. With the silver studs on the blouse I went with layered silver necklaces. I thought they fitted nicely with the neckline of the top, even though the hardware on the Chloe Paraty is gold. I don't mind mixed metals.


Last worn: navy blouse, Tiffany notes necklace, Tiffany heart necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, blue Converse, Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy blouse and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, blue Converse and denim dress, Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag and shorts.

What Fits Inside A Chloe Small Paraty Bag:

---

What I wore:

Blouse: Jeanswest Frankie soft blouse in berry
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Another office day and another dark denim, Converse and blouse outfit! I do like pairing this berry blouse with jeans, and I've worn it with these Nobody Denim siren skinny jeans before. For something a little different this time I tied up the neckline, although between the bow and my hair you can't really see the cute ruffle neck too well. It meant I didn't have to pick out a necklace, so a really quick way to get dressed in the morning!

I liked the different shades of blue in the first outfit with the navy blouse and lighter periwinkle Paraty, so I tried two similar but different shades again with this purple Paraty against the berry blouse. I really liked this, although I feel the purple bag makes the blouse seem more red than it is in person, when it's more of a pinky-red.

Again I wore Converse. With winter weather they aren't the most popular shoe choice for all the ladies in the office any more - starting to see more boots. I still love how comfortable they are for commuting in though, not ready to give them up just yet!

Last worn: berry blouse, Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Chloe small purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: berry blouse and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and cardigan, black Converse and skirt, Chloe small purple Paraty bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in second trimester.

2 Ways to Wear: Orange Sherbet Zoe Tiered Maxi Dress in Geranium Print Pink

I picked up this beautiful Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered maxi dress at Gladrags Markets recently. It's been on frequent repeat since! The trio of friends running a stall let me try on a few of the pretty dresses that they had for sale, and it was so hard picking just one, but I'm so pleased with this. I do love a floral print dress, and the pinks and red in this dress work so well together! As it is winter I have had to do a little layering with this short sleeved dress.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

I love pink and blue together, so a classic indigo wash denim jacket and cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo love bag seemed like the perfect accessories to try out with this dress. I love the bright cobalt blue of the bag against the red and pink geranium print on the dress. And a classic denim jacket like this goes with everything! You can see 30 ways I've worn this denim jacket here.

The Mimco bracelet stack was also a bargain find from Gladrags Markets, and I liked having a bracelet stack on each arm. Picked my comfortable Adidas Superstar sneakers to wear as we had a kids birthday party at an indoor play area to enjoy that morning.


Last worn: denim jacket, Tiffany necklace, Mimco bracelet stack, Orange Sherbet maxi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag. 

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Orange Sherbet maxi dress with white jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Witchery black belted moto leather jacket
Necklace: adjustable coral flat bead necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This is actually the first time I wore this dress. It was a really cold morning, with the school run and then working from home, so the perfect opportunity to wear some of the new pieces I'd picked up at Gladrags Markets that weekend. I got this coral necklace for just $2! I like the colour with the floral print on the maxi dress, even if it isn't a perfect match to the red or pink. The leather jacket was a super cosy and super cheap buy from the markets too - beautifully preloved, it's so comfortable, and I was very grateful for it and the ankle boots on this chilly day. I had a slip on under the dress as well!


Last worn: Witchery leather jacket, coral necklace, Orange Sherbet maxi dress (above), black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: Witchery leather jacket and knit, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and band tee.

Colourful Jeans and Cosy Cardigans With Edie Shoulder Bag

Switching it up a little and setting aside my darker black and grey jeans. I wore some fun colourful pairs to add a little brightness to my cosy cardigan and jeans and tee outfits recently. Both outfits accessorised with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue, that works perfectly with both pink and red.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Tee: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

This was a beautifully warm weekend! I definitely didn't need the cardigan much during the day, although it was appreciated in the evening. We headed out to pick up a family member from the airport who we hadn't seen in a while, the kids were so excited. I felt that the black tee, even with the magenta jeans, was a bit plain, so this leopard print knit was a nice way to add a little more print and interest to the basic jeans and tee outfit.

Couldn't decide on a necklace, and tried on a few, but I liked the pop of colour this thrifted silver and turquoise one added, and how the silver matched the hardware and chain strap on the Edie bag.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, turquoise necklace, black tee, Sass and Bide jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and dress, black tee and maxi skirt, Sass and Bide jeans and blue knit, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and blazer.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

30 Ways to Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

After a late night the previous night, I stuck to the same outfit formula the next day, with these red jeans to add a pop of colour to my outfit. A little bit of matchy-matchy with the red Coca-Cola logo on the tee too! Again, I carried the same bag I had the day before, even though I didn't need to carry much for the school run and working from home.

As it was such a chilly morning I layered up with this cosy cocoon cardigan. Like the leopard print cardigan in the first outfit, it was also an opshop find and is getting worn quite a lot this winter. Definitely getting good value from the $1 I spent on it!


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, Coca-Cola stripe tee, red jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black cocoon cardigan and skirt, Coca-Cola stripe tee with orange, red jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and pink dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Dusters and Denim With Blue Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

I've been wearing a lot of jeans now winter weather has arrived in Brisbane! We have been lucky to have some warmer winter days though, so all I needed to add to each of these outfits was a lightweight printed duster.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I like blue and green together, so with this green floral duster I added all the blue! With the light chambray cami, to the blue Converse, blue mini MAC bag and of course the navy in the necklace. While the darker navy and greens in the necklace don't match the rest of the shades in the outfit, I thought they complimented it well.

And being a slightly colder start to the morning, I pulled out another pair of black jeans! This faded black pair I thrifted a while back have been such a staple for me - I'm to thankful to whoever donated them, as I've certainly got good value for money from this $1 thrift find. Nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, and then a few errands after school pick up in the afternoon.

Last worn: green floral duster, geometric beaded necklace, chambray cami, faded black jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and dress, chambray cami and maxi skirt, faded black jeans and knit, Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and orange.

My Blue Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Again, the navy necklace doesn't really match the teal of the croc embossed Love too bag, but I really liked the two accessories together! This black striped duster is a polyester knit so it's perfect for winter days as it keeps me very warm, even over just a simple cami like this. I thought the cami would be a good pairing with the black and white stripes. I've worn a lot of pink with it in the past althoguh this is the first time I've tried this dusty pink shade. I really liked the combination, I thought the pink cami added a nice bit of colour to the darker accessories and the black and white of the striped duster, black jeans, and Converse.

This was a busy day, with the dentist in the morning for me and then a kid's birthday party to attend in the afternoon. Not an ideal combination of events - a partially numb mouth at the party was not so fun for me! The kids all had fun which is the most important thing, and it was good the party could go on (after already being postponed while the birthday child recovered from being sick).

Last worn: striped duster, navy beaded necklace, pink cami, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: striped duster and dress, pink cami and skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and florals.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

White Denim Jacket With Printed Dresses, Ankle Boots And Statement Necklaces

A sunny winter weekend gave me the chance to wear some pretty floral dresses. Both dresses only needed ankle boots and my white denim jacket to make them cosy enough for spending most of our time indoors.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Red multi strand beaded statement necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

I love the way this Jaase floral and leaf print dress looks with ankle boots. It's such a pretty dress! I've worn it with denim jackets before, but this is the first time I've paired it with the white one, Given how it matches the white in the print so well, I'm surprised I haven't worn the dress and jacket together sooner!

We had a kids birthday party to attend, so I just needed my essentials which meant this little peach Rebecca Minkoff small love bag was the perfect accessory. Just like the red statement necklace, it doesn't exactly match the colours in the print of the dress, but I think the accessories complimented the print nicely. This was such a comfortable outfit for a loud and busy (but fun!) party.


Last worn: white denim jacket, red statement necklace, Jaase dress, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and maxi dress, Jaase dress and leather jacket, ankle boots and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff small Love bag and matching tee.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Gold beaded statement multi strand necklace
Dress: Orange Sherbet Zoe tiered dress in geranium print pink (recent purchase)
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted maxi Edie crossbody in Porcini brown suede

Why I wore it:

Copied the outfit formula above for a busy morning, and then getting to spend some time relaxing and chatting at book club in the afternoon. While it was a warm day, I knew the denim jacket and boots would be much appreciated in the evening. It did start getting a little chilly later in the evening as we were sitting outside for book club, but that was a good sign we should probably wrap up and head home!

Just like the last time I wore this statement gold beaded necklace, I wanted to pair it with the equally chunky chain on this Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie bag. I like the combination even though the metals are not a match.

It was my first time wearing this pretty floral print maxi dress I scored from the Gladrags markets, so it made sense to wear it with some of the accessories I picked up at that market too, with the gold necklace and the Mimco bracelet stack. It's a lot of big accessories, but it was fun wearing them all together.


Last worn: white denim jacket (above), gold bib necklace, tan leather boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag. First time I've worn the dress and bracelet stack as they were recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and jeans, tan leather boots and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff suede maxi Edie crossbody bag and stripes.

Textured Jackets and Tiered Dresses

Making the most of warmer winter days in Brisbane by layering up some lighter dresses with a couple of heavier jackets to combat the chill in the mornings and evenings. These Kmart tiered midi dresses are wardrobe staples for me, and something I've had on frequent repeat in the warmer weather. With the addition of some textured jackets, they work into winter too.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket

Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

Wore this to celebrate mother's day with the family. In the afternoon we headed down the coast for a pizza night at my parents. It was a lot of fun! This bright fuchsia pink tiered midi dress is a firm favourite of mine, and I love how it looks with blue, so the blue beaded necklace and quilted Edie shoulder bag were obvious pairings with it. Because we were having dinner and I knew it would be colder at night, I wore this jacquard jacket that hadn't been worn in a while. I liked the texture and stripes against the plain block colour of the dress. 

Comfortable Converse for the drive down the coast too.


Last worn: jacquard jacket, fuchsia tiered midi dress, beaded necklace, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and jeans, fuchsia tiered midi dress with yellow, white Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: jacquard jacket in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I pulled out one of my other Kmart tiered midi dresses to recreate a similar look, again with Converse, and another textured jacket from my wardrobe. With the black necklace, black Converse and black jacket, I wasn't sure the orange dress was the best choice at first. I always worry too much orange and black together is Halloween-ish. But I ended up really liking this outfit. 

It was a school run and work from home day, so I only needed to carry this little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for all my essentials. I liked the neutral silver against the orange dress too.


Last worn: boucle jacket, beaded necklace, orange tiered midi dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: boucle jacket and pencil skirt, orange tiered midi dress and denim jacket, Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: boucle jacket in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC bag in third trimester.
