Trench, Skirt, Bal Work, Matches Fashion Reveal | Belted Jumper Over Printed Dress, MbMj Fran

Here's what I wore to work on Wednesday:

away from blue balenciaga rouille RH work bag


Jacket: Temt Black trench coat 
Top: Jeanswest 'Leila' embroidered top (new purchase)
SkirtAsos tailored checked workwear pencil skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in black patent
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagBalenciaga classic work in 2006 Rouille


I wasn't comfortable in this outfit at all on Wednesday. Think it shows in the photos too, just not a nice outfit. The top and skirt wouldn't sit nicely together at all, bad combination! Such a shame as I like the pieces separately.

The embroidered top is beautiful, the last of my pieces from the Jeanswest sale. It's difficult to make out in the photo, but it has an embroidered pattern on the top panel. Will try get a better picture next wear.


My Matches Fashion sale order arrived to take my mind off the bad outfit though! :) Did a little video reveal for you.



Last worn: black trench coat, checked skirt, patent flats, Balenciaga Rouille work. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent purchase.

Here's what I wore to work today:

Away From The Blue Blog Marc by Marc Jacobs Carob Brown Fran Handbag

Away From the Blue belted jumper layered over printed dress with skull scarf and heels

Jumper: Supre cream waffle knit oversized jumper 
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf (new purchase)
DressFrench Connection 'pendragon panache' cap sleeve dress in 'winters day base'
Belt: Kmart thin gold glitter belt
Shoes: Wittner 'Mimi' heels in mushroom
Bracelets: the usual plus Chloe Paddington crystal charm bracelet and Indigo Rose Design waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown


In complete contrast to yesterday's outfit, I loved today's! This look is completely inspired by (or closely copied from!) Wendy from Thankfifi's outfit in this post, which she left in a comment for me as an amazing example of layering a jumper and dress when I asked for tips.

Wanted to wear this jumper, although it was a bit long, so I figured I could fold it up and the belt would keep it in place. It occasionally fell out through the day so was a little fussy to wear. Next time need to try it with a shorter top! Otherwise I really liked the layering, big thank you to Wendy for the inspiration! :)

Linking up in a few places today: What I wore to Work, What I wore Wednesday.

Jeanswest Dress, Marc By Marc Jacobs Fran Bag | Printed Top, Pencil Skirt, Heels, Balenciaga Rouille Work

Here's what I wore to go back to work on Tuesday:
DressJeanswest Megan print dress in leaf print
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs Logo Plaque Flats in Two Tone blush and black
Bracelets: the usual plus studded and chain link Oroton leather bracelets from Designer Archives, gifted Ferragamo double wrap bracelet
BagMarc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown from Reebonz


Nice simple printed dress and great bag outfit for going back to work after the long weekend. I wanted to be comfortable more than anything! Ended up having a longer than usual day so the photos are a little dark sorry. I think with working later hours I need to find sunny spots for photos instead of heading to my usual shaded spots.


Last worn: printed dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs flats, Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Skirt: Review 'Ziggy' polka dot pencil skirt

Bracelets: the usual plus Indigo Rose Design black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet

Dressed up a bit with heels as I had a big meeting this afternoon and needed the confidence boost only heels can give! With the storm and an accident on the roads making me really late home, had to take indoor photos. Shame as I really liked this outfit and feel the photos don't do it justice, but not the end of the world. :)


Last worn: printed top, polka dot pencil skirt, Wittner heels, Balenciaga rouille work.

Late blog post today as we went out after work for some drinks and then to shop the BrisStyle Twilight Markets.  Had to remember to snap a picture quickly. I was excited to wear my Rouille work! It hasn't been on the blog before as I gave it to a friend to borrow for a while, and only just asked for it back. It was my first Balenciaga work and everything about it is so perfect :)


The top was last worn here, jeans here, and shoes here. This is the first time I've worn the bag on the blog.

Wasn't feeling too well today so I just wanted to wear something easy for work. This is very similar to this previous outfit, but different bag and less accessories. It's good to have outfits to reapeat that are comfortable and just work with little fuss. We were running late this morning so when plaid shirt man got into the background of the photo we just had to go with it. Hope he doesn't mind his back being online!

Close up of accessories and bag:

Dressed for the cooler weather today with a jacket and boots. I worry sometimes that the neckline on this dress looks a little too low cut for work, so this dress isn't worn as much as my other ones. Decided to add a scarf for warmth and it had the bonus of covering up the neckline a bit too. I kept the scarf on all day, it's so pretty. Added a bit of colour with my orange Balenciaga and bracelet.

Received some goodies today I'm looking forward to showing you tomorrow!

Colours are a bit off in the first photo because of the sun I think, sorry! Just a nice light outfit for a very hot day today. Spend a little bit of time walking in the city so wanted to be as comfortable and cool as possible. Picked my rouille work to add a bit of colour.

Picked up a couple of summer sandals at the Wittner outlet - got 2 pairs for less than the original price of 1 pair! Looking forward to wearing them on the blog. Also got this beautiful dress at French Connection as they have an extra 20% off sale items. It was a very productive shopping trip. You can see a list of a few more sales in my round-up post here :) Have you bought anything in the sales yet?

Awkward face in the photos due to feeling awkward as we tried to take photos between cars passing by this morning. Not a good look!
Wanted to wear my rouille work again today so thought this printed dress would look nice with it. The dress print is more yellow than orange, but I think it looked okay. What do you think?

I wore orange to work today to show my support for the Queensland SES (State Emergency Service). I am always grateful for the dedicated and hard-working volunteers in the SES and in other organisations in Australia who pitch in and help when it's most needed. Only orange accessories, but I thought it worked well for the office. Kept the rest of my outfit black and cream, nice and simple.


If you're planning on buying something from Matches Fashion, they have free shipping this week with code "FREE11". :)

I've worn this dress and boots together before with red accessories. It's a great dress to pair a bright coloured bag with, so I wore a similar outfit with my orange bag instead. Not very original, but comfortable and great for a busy Thursday.

So cold today, need a nice warm knit. There was snow in some parts of Australia due to the surprise cold snap. Definitely another reason to keep my knits, boots and scarves out for a little longer! The tree in the back yard has lost a good chunk of it's leaves with the wind and there are a few tree branches about. Even our photo spot was filled with leaves from nearby trees.

No Cooper in the photos today, he was on the other side of the lens helping DH take pictures. So cute :)

This necklace is one of the items from my "Buy Nothing New Month" challenge failing purchases last week. A few of us in the office placed an order at Cotton On together to take advantage of the free shipping, and myself and another lady bought this necklace. She wasn't too impressed when it arrived as it was larger than she expected - so I told her I'd wear it today to show how great statement necklaces can be. What do you think, how would you have worn it?

Close up of accessories and bag:

Wasn't feeling very inspired when deciding what to wear today so I am wearing a very similar outfit to the last time I wore this dress - just with an orange bag and belt instead of a pink one, and a different jacket. Will need to think of a different way to wear this dress next time!

The blog comes in handy to browse through when I'm thinking what to wear, much easier than looking through photos on my computer as it's more searchable. Does mean that I'm tempted to closely copy some of my previous outfits though ;) If you have a personal style blog, do you use it as a resource when thinking of what to wear?

When I put this outfit on this morning I thought it needed a belt, so I added one for a few minutes before I changed my mind and took it off again. What do you think, would this have been better with a belt? Definitely should have packed an umbrella - was very rainy today!

I was planning to wear this dress without a belt today then I changed my mind at the last minute and added a belt. I think I should have picked a black one and not a tan one though, what do you think?

Decided not to wear a necklace today as the front of this top has enough detail on it to add some interest. Just wanted to wear something nice and relaxed today so this seemed like a good choice, and the blazer kept me warm this evening. Should have worn sunnies though, squinting a bit in the photo, haha!
