Pink and Black Outfits With Printed Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Just like my previous post, sticking to another colour scheme for these two outfits with pink tees, printed scarves and black. Both slightly different outfits, for busy days working from home and watching my kids sports events.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I love this cosy cocoon cardigan! It was a great $1 opshop find and I always look forward to being able to wear it when the weather gets cooler. Paired with the black skinny jeans, it was quite a dark outfit, but the pink tee and the blue heart print scarf added just enough colour to brighten it up.

Had to have something simple and practical for working from home, and using the gaps between meetings to run a quick errand at lunch time and spend a little time at my son's sports day at school. Of course it meant making up the time afterwards, so quite a long day, but a fun one too. The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was ideal as it fit my camera alongside all my other essentials for taking photos of my son competing.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, Stella McCartney scarf, pink tee, black skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, Stella McCartney scarf and dress, pink tee and pencil skirt, black skinny jeans and band tee, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Seed Heritage Paisley print snood
Tee: Cle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Another pink and black outfit, with this ruffle hem maxi skirt instead of jeans. Still had some denim in it though with the denim jacket. Again I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag for extra carry space, as I had another sports day to attend for my sons. Luckily, this one was in the afternoon so I was able to wrap up work early and go enjoy the whole event, and I got some great pics!

While it had been a cool morning on the school run and a little chilly while working from home, this cosy Paisley print snood / infinity scarf was much too warm for the afternoon sports day on the oval and I ended up taking it off. I did like the print and interest it added to the outfit, even if it did cover up the ombre colour on this pink tee and I took it off later in the afternoon.

Last worn: denim jacket, Paisley print scarf, pink tee, black maxi skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, Paisley print scarf and stripes, pink tee and shorts, black maxi skirt and leather jacket, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Pink and Purple: Jeans, Grey Tees, Blazers And Scarves Outfits

Trying to inject a little colour into my winter work outfits, with both of these jeans and tee outfits featuring a little bit of pink and some cosy purple scarves.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Tee: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
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: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold (new purchase)

Why I wore it:

This is quite a light blazer. I thought it might be warm enough for the commute to the office as I wore the dark grey tunic tee underneath which has longer length sleeves, and I had my big cosy checked purple scarf. Definitely needed a little more than this blazer though, it's not the best for winter. Thankfully the office aircon has been switched to the winter setting so it kept me cosy, and it wasn't too cold on the way home, I just wished a little in the morning I'd picked a warmer blazer!

I did like the extra colour the blush pink blazer added to the grey tee and black jeans outfit though, brightened it up nicely especially as I'd gone for a little black crossbody bag and needed some colourful layers.


Last worn: blush blazer, purple checked scarf, grey tunic, Nobody denim jeans, black Converse. First time I've worn the Mimco bag on the blog as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: blush blazer and dress, purple checked scarf and jumper, grey tunic and shorts, Nobody denim jeans and printed blouse, black Converse and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tee: grey marle pocket tee
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: MIMCO Mim-Mazing crossbody bag in black and light gold

Why I wore it:

This outfit gets the sniff of approval from Bonnie! Had to take my photos inside as it was raining so much and so dark outside that morning. Haven't quite mastered taking photos inside but I was in a rush trying to get out the door to work on time.

Just like the first outfit, I stuck with pink and purple against the neutrals, again with my little black Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag. This was a much more colourful outfit though with the pink frayed hem jeans, and the bold purple scarf. The black blazer was an obvious neutral choice with the pink and purple, and unlike the think blush one in the first outfit, this one is a comfortable lined jersey so it kept me a lot warmer on the commute to the office.

Last worn: black blazer, purple scarf, grey tee, pink frayed hem jeans, Adidas Superstar, Mimco Mim-Mazing crossbody bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black blazer and printed skirt, purple scarf and trench coat, grey tee and denim skirt, pink frayed hem jeans and graphic tee, Adidas Superstar and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black blazer in third trimester.

Maxi Dresses, Denim Jackets, Scarves and Boots

June is the start of winter in Brisbane, and it's definitely brought some scarf weather along with it! It was good to get both of these heart print scarves out again, worn with denim jackets and my Kmart tiered midi dresses for some weekend birthday parties.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl love heart print tassel scarf
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, with a birthday party in the morning and then Bonnie's puppy training class in the afternoon. While we were mostly indoors I wanted to be warm and cosy, so layered up this coral dress with the fun heart print tassel scarf. I really liked the scarf and dress together, even if the red in the scarf is a slightly different shade from the coral of the dress. I was sure I'd worn this scarf before but can't find it on the blog - it was one mum got me for Christmas, so surprised this is its first wear!

With the denim jacket and black ankle boots, this was nice and cosy for the day. I could fit a little extra than usual in the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag too, perfect for extra training treats for Bonnie at the class, and I liked the matchy-matchy of it with the black ankle boots.


Last worn: heart earrings, denim jacket, coral midi dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, coral midi dress for Christmas, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven

Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
Scarf: Stella McCartney heart print scarf
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

Took another opportunity to wear the dress, denim jacket, heart scarf and boots combination I liked so much above, with this fuchsia pink tiered midi dress. We had another birthday party to attend and I probably overdressed for it - it was at the arcade so when I tried to jump on one of the arcade games with my son's friend I realised a midi dress was not the most practical for a motorbike race, ha!

I did really like this outfit though, the Stella McCartney scarf is a firm favourite of mine, I love big blanket scarves! And it was so cosy, especially with the tall tan boots. The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag didn't match my boots like it did in the outfit above, but I did appreciate the way it matched the navy in the scarf and it easily held all the essentials plus water bottles for the party.


Last worn: star earrings, white denim jacket, Stella McCartney scarf, fuchsia pink midi dress, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and skirt, Stella McCartney scarf and jeans, fuchsia pink midi dress with yellow, tan boots and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and jeans.

30 Ways To Wear Portmans Pink Leopard Print Jeans

In a very overdue 30 ways to wear post, I'm finally sharing 30 ways to wear these awesome pink leopard print skinny jeans. I got them from my mum back in 2012. It's taken much too long for them to hit the 30 wear figure, but they do make a bit of a statement so aren't something I reach for everyday. They are really fun to wear though.

30 Ways To Wear: Pink Leopard Print Jeans

Cost Per Wear

Unfortunately as mum got me these as a gift I'm not sure how much they were to calculate cost per wear! However given that they have stuck around in my wardrobe for 12 years and reached 30 wears, I think they were a good buy! Here are the 30 ways I've worn them so far:

Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Grey

Of course if you've got a brightly coloured printed piece in your outfit, it makes sense to wear neutral colours with it. Grey tops and cardigans are a great neutral with these bold jeans.

Black With Pink Leopard Print Jeans

Black is another go-to neutral for me, and one that again works well with the pink leopard print. it really lets the jeans stand out and be the star of the outfit when they are paired with a black top, tee or jacket.

Graphic Tees and Printed Jeans

I don't just stick with neutrals with these jeans! Sometimes I've tried to introduce another print, as you can see with the scarf in the set of outfits above, and these 4 graphic tops outfits. Despite the busy and bright leopard print of the jeans, I think the neutral backgrounds of these tops make the prints work together.

Pink Leopard Pink Jeans With More Pink

Sometimes if I'm wearing a piece in my outfit with one colour, I'll try match that with my accessories, as I have done here in each of the 6 outfits. I've paired pink bags and even a pink printed scarf with these jeans. Any shade of pink works, from the bold neon pinks on the end to the lighter paler rose in the third outfit, and the deeper magenta bag in the 5th.

Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Blue

Pink and blue is a colour combination I really enjoy wearing, so I've worn a lot of different shades of blue with these pink leopard print jeans! From lighter pastel blues to true navy, and even trying a little double denim with the blue denim jacket, I've not found a shade of blue that doesn't look great with these pink jeans.

Pink Leopard Print Jeans With Purple

You can see I love wearing that little purple bag with these pink jeans! Pink and purple is another winning colour combination from me, especially when I introduce a third colour and a blue piece into my outfit as well.

Green Floral Duster, Jeans and Metallic Tops

Two outfits making the most of the not to cold yet winter weather in Brisbane to wear my green floral duster again. It's a firm favourite, and in both of these outfits I'm wearing it with grey jeans and metallic tops.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue

Why I wore it:

I knew I wanted to give this green duster a wear, despite the cooler morning, as I had a little bit of running around to do that day that would keep me warm. I had the school run, working from home, and then an appointment for my son in the afternoon. This was a great outfit for that.

With the colourful green duster I stuck to neutrals for everything else. I had to add the navy necklace for a bit of darker colour and to break up the monochromatic-ness of the silver tank with the grey skinny jeans, and then decided to add in another shade of blue with the Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag. It's also a great bag for fitting a book inside along with all my essentials to keep me occupied waiting for my son's appointment.


Last worn: green floral duster, silver metallic tank, navy necklace, grey skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and skirt, silver metallic tank and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie shoulder bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

I'd considered wearing this gold metallic tee instead of the silver metallic tank above with this duster, so on another warmer day I took the opportunity to wear the duster again just to wear the tee with it. I do love how the green pops against natural metallic pieces! Again I wore grey jeans, these Nobody Denim ones are so comfortable and with the Converse it was nice and practical for working from home, the school run, and sports in the afternoon. I wasn't sure about the silver chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag with the gold tee, but I think the neutral black worked so well with this outfit that I'm glad I gave it a try.

Last worn: green floral duster (above), gold linen tee, feather necklace, charcoal jeans, black Converse, Stella McCartney Falabella.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and dress, gold linen tee worn 2 ways, charcoal jeans and cardigan, black Converse and skirt, Stella McCartney Falabella and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Maxi Dresses and Denim Jackets With Chloe Purple Paraty Bag

Denim jackets again! I've been making the most of wearing them in the early days of winter before it gets cold enough to need my winter knits and leather jackets! Using my classic blue denim jacket as a topper over both of these maxi dresses, which were opshop finds.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: thrifted black Jeanswest halterneck maxi dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

It's been far too long since I last wore this black halter maxi dress, so I took the opportunity to wear it out for lunch and a bit of shopping with my mum and sister. Making the most of the warmer day, I got to wear my sandals again, although I did have to cover up my shoulders with the denim jacket so I wasn't too cold.

The black jersey fabric looks great with everything being a neutral, but I liked the idea of the dark purple Chloe Paraty bag with this. The gold marble necklace doesn't have the exact same shade of purple in it, but I still really liked the accessory combination.


Last worn: heart studs, denim jacket, marble necklace, black maxi dress, wrap bracelet, crossover slides, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, black maxi dress and kimono, crossover slides and printed dress, Chloe purple Paraty bag and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, black maxi dress in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wore the exact same combination with the denim jacket and another maxi dress again the next weekend. This was a much more colourful outfit with the bright geometric print on this thrifted maxi dress, but again I thought the darker purple Chloe Paraty bag was a good accompaniment with the dress.

It was a good size for containing my book to pass the time sitting on the sidelines at the kids sport, and also fit all my essentials plus a little bag of treats for when we took Bonnie to her first training class. When we adopted Cooper over 12 years ago, he was too old for the only classes I could find around which were all puppy classes. It was nice to be able to find a local class for Bonnie after we adopted her - she was surrendered to the shelter twice so definitely needed some help learning manners, 2 homes is a lot for a 1 year old pup! She's doing great with them and of course Cooper is loving the easy treats he gets when we practice at home as he knows all the basics already!


Last worn: denim jacket (above), double circle necklace, black beaded bracelet stack, printed maxi dress, white Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, printed maxi dress worn 2 ways, white Converse and jeans, Chloe purple Paraty bag and pencil skirt.

Orange and Blue Maxi Skirt and Denim Jacket Outfits

I really like orange and blue together, and recently ended up wearing the combination in both of these maxi skirt outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

Wanted something colourful and comfortable to wear for a busy day. While I was working from home this maxi skirt was comfortable, but with the blue tee also made for a very colourful outfit to ensure that my son could spot me in the crowd in the afternoon as he got an award at school.

With the blue and orange together, I wasn't sure what bag to wear and I thought I'd give this wine purple Chloe Paraty bag a try. I really liked the combination and I'll need to wear this bag with orange again in future!


Last worn: denim jacket, hammered circle necklace, blue tee, orange maxi skirt, Converse, Chloe purple Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket and dress, blue tee and pink, orange maxi skirt and stripes, Converse and jeans, Chloe purple Paraty bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
Cami: New Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black

Why I wore it:

This maxi skirt was maybe not the best choice for a cooler day - I forgot how tall the slit was and the slight breeze made me a little chilled! This maxi skirt is really better for warmer days. It worked okay for a weekend day with a couple of errands and puppy training class for our recently adopted pup though, as I was mostly indoors thankfully. 

Just like the outfit above, I really liked the bright orange with this lighter blue tie dye skirt. I definitely needed the denim jacket to cover up the spaghetti strap cami, and I thought the neutral white helped tone down the brightness of the orange. Along with the neutral accessories I chose as well, the pale necklace and the white converse and black Stella McCartney Falabella bag. I've worn this bag with the maxi skirt before and liked the combination then too.

Last worn: white denim jacket, beaded necklace, orange cami, tie dye maxi skirt, Converse (above), Stella McCartney Falabella.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and dress, orange cami and shorts, tie dye maxi skirt and knit, Converse and dress, Stella McCartney Falabella and blazer.

Brown Printed Tanks With Colourful Jeans and Chloe Bags

Two more work outfits following an easily repeatable outfit formula, with brown printed tanks, colourful jeans and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: double circle hammered pendant necklace
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes Kelly double tour bracelet in rubis
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This cosy cocoon cardigan is one I was really excited to get out again now winter weather has arrived in Queensland! It's so comfortable and I love the shape with jeans.

I added the printed tank for a little interest, and then the burgundy jeans for a bit more colour so my outfit wasn't entirely neutrals. I think the burgundy jeans and the little red Hermes bracelet were just the right touches of colour with the neutral black cardigan and Converse and brown printed tank and brown Chloe Marcie bag.

The only downside with this outfit was the necklace - which I really love! I liked the brass hardware with the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag. However I was in a rush to get to the office that morning and managed to break the necklace after school drop off. Didn't notice until I was in the office, and was very confused as I hadn't felt the discs fall off. Thankfully it fell apart in the car so I found it again on the drive home and it was really easily fixed.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, heart earrings, brown printed tank, brass necklace, Hermes bracelet, burgundy jeans, black Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: cocoon cardigan and printed jeans, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and stripes, black Converse and shorts, Chloe Marcie bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Paraty bag in wine purple

Why I wore it:

These pink frayed hem jeans were such a good opshop find - they always get compliments when I wear them, such a nice shade of pink. Just like the outfit above I paired the brightly coloured jeans with some neutral pieces, this brown printed tank is a staple for the office, and with the black blazer over it I was just warm enough on the colder commute. I liked how the black Converse matched the black blazer too, and then I added another statement gold necklace to again match the gold hardware on my Chloe bag, this time my purple small Paraty. I like pink and purple together so it seemed like an obvious choice when I was getting dressed that morning.


Last worn: black blazer, brown printed tank, gold circle necklace, pink frayed hem jeans, black Converse (above), Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: black blazer and printed skirt, brown printed tank and skirt, pink frayed hem jeans and blue, black Converse and skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black jersey blazer in third trimester, brown printed tank in third trimester, Converse in second trimester.
