Magenta Balenciaga Bag And Converse With Blue Dresses | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link up, more pink and blue. Wearing some long sleeved blue dresses with my magenta Balenciaga day hobo bag for a bold burst of colour.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold pendant chandelier earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Sneaking another Weekend outfit into the Weekday Wear Link Up! We had a big day, down the coast spending time with my family in the morning, and a wonderful lunch, then back up to Brisbane for dinner with the in-laws in the evening.

Knew this dress would be perfect to wear for a day alternating between air-conditioning in the houses and car! I like the long puff sleeves, although I rolled them up a little this time around. And the tiers are so cute. Added more blue with the Converse and carried all the things I needed in my magenta Balenciaga day bag - I love how the colour pops against the blue denim.


Last worn: gold earrings, Target denim dress, Tiffany heart necklace, blue Converse, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: Target denim dress with red, blue Converse and jeans, Balenciaga magenta day bag worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

What I wore:

Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver bracelet stack
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Making the most of the school holidays and finally taking my kids to the indoor playground I'd been promising to take them too, just before school went back at the end of January. I'd planned to go earlier, but our summer holidays had a few unexpected surprises, so a last minute trip the week before school was needed.

I was able to sit at a table and relax with a book while the kids ran around playing, so I picked this long sleeved dress to wear. Perfect for the aircon inside, but not too warm for the heat outside. Again I had my bold magenta Balenciaga day bag. I really like it with this navy printed dress, and it fit my book and our water bottles inside for the morning.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag | Magnificent Magenta

This quarter's Magnificent 8 collaboration post theme is magnificent magenta! And with it being so close to the end of the month when I usually do my 30 ways to wear posts, what better time to share 30 ways you can wear this marvellous magenta Balenciaga day bag?

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Balenciaga Day Hobo Bag

I'm surprised I haven't done a 30 ways to wear post with this bag yet, it's one of my favourites! It's definitely my favourite Balenciaga pink too. I have owned a few bags in this colour, which came out in 2005 over the years, but this style made it a keeper in my wardrobe. It's no secret I like bright and colourful bags, and this isn't even my only magenta bag.... But a magenta bag goes with so many more outfits than you'd think!

Cost Per Wear

I got lucky and picked this Balenciaga day bag up preloved at the end of 2015, for just $607. Despite being a 10 year old bag at the time, it had such a vibrant vivid magenta colour, and hardly any signs of wear. 7 years of me owning it later, and it still looks just as good as it does when I got it - Balenciaga bags slouch so beautifully as they age! Being a bit of a splurge, although I've worn it a lot (50 times so far), it works out to $12.14 per wear at the moment. Much higher than the $1 per wear most people aim for for value for money, but pretty good for a spendy buy, and one that will be in my wardrobe permanently, getting the cost per wear down even lower!

It took me quite a while to go through all the 50 times I've worn this magenta bag and come up with just 30 of my favourite outfits! I picked a few outfit and colour formulas to share with you, to give you an idea of how versatile a magenta bag could be in your wardrobe. Here are some of my favourite ways to wear it.

30 Ways To Wear: Magenta Hobo Bag | Video Style

Magenta Bag In Office Outfits

I love wearing my bright and colourful bags into the office! It's nice to have a bit of colour on your desk through the day while spending hours sitting at a computer. And of course, these 4 outfits show the easiest way to wear any bright colour - pair it with black! With all the black and the other neutrals in these outfits, it makes the magenta bag really pop.

Magenta Bag with Blue Outfits

It's no secret I love blue and pink together. Having so much blue in my wardrobe, I've worn this magenta bag with every shade I own, and it always looks good! From the pastel baby blue skull scarf, denim dresses and skirt, even a cobalt scarf, magenta just works with any shade of blue.

Magenta Bag With Purple

Magenta being the perfect blend of pink and purple together means it looks so good worn with other purple pieces. You don't have to go big and bold like I have with the purple printed dress in the third outfit, you can try the colour combination on a smaller scale with a purple scarf. A bright scarf and bag are a fun way to add colour to a neutral layered outfit in winter too.

Magenta Bag With Tee and Denim

Forever a staple outfit, a classic tee and denim formula is a go to the world over. To make it just a little different from a standard basic formula though, you can add a bright bag. And this fun magenta bag is definitely bright enough to add more interest to any version of denim and tee you wear!

Magenta Bag With Matching Magenta Accessories

Since magenta pairs so perfectly with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe, I also have quite a few other magenta pieces. It's fun to make a matchy-matchy outfit and wear more than one magenta piece at a time. From a pink skull scarf to a magenta cami peeking out from under a dress, or a larger matchy-matchy with the magenta cardigan and bag together! Even if the pink in that last skull scarf isn't quite magenta...it's close enough to make my matchy-matchy self happy!

Magenta Bag and Printed Dress Outfits

A big bold block colour hobo bag like this Balenciaga day bag is so easy to wear with statement printed dresses. You can try coordinating like I have with the pink and purple dress in the third outfit there, or just have the bag be a bright pop of colour and contrast against the print like I have in the other three outfits.

Magenta Balenciaga Day Bag In Pregnancy

I always love putting pregnancy photos in these 30 ways to wear posts. Because not every item of clothing will be wearable through all 3 trimesters of pregnancy and beyond, but a handbag sure will! A big practical hobo bag like this, it got a lot of wear over my last pregnancy.

30 Ways To Wear A Blush Pink Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Darren

For this month's 30 ways to wear post, I'm featuring another bag, this beautiful Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger in peony pink. A bag I've worn a lot more than 30 times, the pastel pink has been so versatile in my wardrobe!

30 Ways To Wear: Blush Pink Small Darren Satchel Bag

When I saw this bag during a browse of the David Jones sale I could not get it out of my head - so I had to buy it! I didn't think about how I would wear it, just how pretty it was. I have been pleasantly surprised to find it works with so many outfits in my wardrobe! The adjustable strap is a nice feature, although I do mostly wear it on the longest crossbody setting. I started out just trying this bag as a lovely pastel pink touch of colour with a neutral or monochrome outfit, but found over time blush pink goes with so much, and I'm so glad I stumbled across this bag in the sale! I'm really not sure why this messenger style was discontinued - the Darren is still available in other styles, but this original one will always be a true classic to me!

Cost Per Wear

I bought this bag back in October 2018, at over 50% off it was $240.78 as there was an extra discount on the sale price. At 44 wears to date, that's $5.47 a wear so far. Higher than the $1 a wear most people aim for, but given how often I reach for this bag and how much I love it, I have no doubt it will get to $1 a wear or less in time.

One thing to note is that the lighter colour has suffered from colour transfer - thankfully it was easily cleaned off. Since then I haven't had any further issues wearing this bag with denim or dark clothing, it's staying stain free.

Since I've worn this bag a lot more than 30 times, I tried to pick just my 30 favourite outfits to share.

30 Ways to Wear: Video Style

Pastel Pink Bag and Little Black Dress

This was one of the first ways I started wearing this bag - pairing the pale pastel pink with a lot of black. A little black dress is perfect for that. The bag adds a nice colour that isn't too statement making like a brighter pink bag would be, and pink and black always go together nicely.

Blush Pink Bag With Blue Outfits

If you're read my blog occasionally you'll know that blue and pink is a colour combination I always love to wear - different shades of blue and pink work together so well! While navy blue is a frequent go-to with this blush pink Darren bag, you can see with these outfits that even lighter shades of blue look nice with the pastel pink.

Pastel Pink Bag With Monochromatic Neutral Outfits

Just like the little black dress outfits above, neutral colours were a good starting point for me with this bag. Blacks and greys together create easy neutral outfits, and the pastel pink bag is a lovely way to inject a little colour with all those neutrals and otherwise monochromatic outfits.

Blush Pink Crossbody Bag and Purple

Although not something I wear as much as pink and blue, I do really like pink and purple in an outfit together. I just don't have many purple pieces in my wardrobe to pair this bag with! As you can see, the lilac tee is a firm favourite with this bag, I like the two pastel tones together.

Pastel Pink Bag Matching Other Pieces In An Outfit

If you're really not too sure about what colours go with a pastel coloured bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Darren, try doing a little matchy-matchy! I find pink scarves, or even piece4s with a blush pink print in them, coordinate perfectly with this peony pink bag and make any outfit feel a bit more cohesive. I love that I have a pair of shorts that match the bag so well too!

Pink Bag Worn With Other Contrasting Shades of Pink

If a little pink accessory looks good in an outfit, why not add even more pink? This was a fun colour combination to try, although I'd had this bag a while before attempting it! Trying two different shades of pink in the same outfit, from a deep berry blouse to a bright fuchsia dress, even the magenta kimono. The pastel pink works well with all other shades of pink I've tried it with! When I was trying this combination out I always wore it with other neutrals like black and white as you can see in these outfits.

Blush Pink Bag With With Other Pinks and Blue

This is a great example of how I've slowly tried more colour combinations with this bag! I could definitely categorise them some of the outfit formulas above. It's the blush pink and brighter pink outfit pieces combination, but this time instead of sticking with black and white pieces, I'm adding a little more colour and having the two different shades of pink, and a little bit of blue as well. Easy pairings I know that work well together, worn all at once to make a colourful new trio that I can try out in different outfits.

Rebecca Minkoff Peony Darren Bag and Skirts

This is the best way to show the versatility of this bag - it works so well with all my outfits, as you've seen above. But while I worried the crossbody messenger style might feel too casual, I think it's perfect for the office too! It looks just as good with a maxi skirt as it does with a little denim skirt, or a pencil skirt for work. It really is such a versatile bag, and I'm glad I have it in my wardrobe!

Striped Tees Matching Waterfall Cardigans With Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, more jeans and tee outfits, which are becoming a staple with winter really taking hold here in Brisbane!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
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: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

With the navy stripe tee matching the cosy navy waterfall cardigan, and the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black sneakers, this could have been a really dark toned outfit, even with the white in the stripes. The magenta Balenciaga Day bag and purple scarf were the perfect way to add a bit more colour, and I appreciated the extra cosiness from the scarf too, it was a particularly cold day and I was thankful for the scarf on the school run, especially in the morning!

Had a quiet day of working from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening. Jeans and a tee is the perfect casual outfit for that.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, purple scarf, navy stripe tee, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, purple scarf and printed dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and blazer, Balenciaga magenta day bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Bag in My Balenciaga Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was one of those outfits I'd planned in my head that didn't quite translate how I wanted to when I put it on in the morning. It was a busy day though, with helping out in my son's classroom after the school run, working from home, and then last minute shopping for a birthday present for a birthday party the next day after school pick up. I had planned this scarf but realised it didn't look quite right, but had no time to try another. Not the worst combination, but I do think another scarf would have worked better.

The shoes are new to me! I rarely ever see shoes in my size at the opshops so getting a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers for $3 the other year was an awesome steal. My mum found these Stan Smiths and was hoping they would fit her, but unfortunately they didn't. She brought them over for me to try though and they work for me, so she gave them to me. $0 sneakers is the best!

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue window pane scarf, burgundy striped tee, grey skinny jeans, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the Stan Smith sneakers.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, blue window pane scarf and striped dress, burgundy striped tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30ways, Balenciaga tempete Day bag and maxi dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga tempete Day bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

For a little bit of matchy-matchy, try pairing a striped tee in a similar shade to a cosy cardigan in winter. Adding other colours with accessories like I have with scarves and bags is fun to try too!

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags

In the very last days of April it finally started to feel a little bit like autumn in Brisbane, which meant I could get my jeans out again! Wore them with the classic striped tee and Converse combination. Pulled out my Balenciaga Day bags again too - both hadn't been worn yet this year, surprisingly!

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans (opshop find)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Wanted a nice comfortable outfit for the usual school run and working from home routine. With it being a little cooler that morning, it was the perfect opportunity to get these jeans out! I found them at the opshop late last year, for just $1. Being my size I wasn't going to turn them down, and I was so happy when I tried them on and they fit like a glove! Although the style branding on it doesn't indicate that they are a cropped style I suspect they may have been hemmed, as they are a great length on my petite self! 

The tee was a $1 find from another opshop too - both pieces are perfect together. I think the faded black of the denim works nicely with the navy stripes on the tee, and I can't believe it's been so long since I last wore this Balenciaga day bag, it is a firm favourite. Even though I really didn't need to carry much as I was just working from home and only popped out for the school run, it was nice to get this big bag out again.


Last worn: Coca-Cola tee, Converse, Balenciaga tempete day bag. First time it's been cool enough to wear these jeans I thrifted last year.

Other ways to wear: Coca-Cola tee and orange skirt, Converse and floral dress, Balenciaga tempete day bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Balenciaga Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
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: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

A lazy long weekend meant falling back to that classic striped tee and skinny jeans combo again! I wore another navy and white striped tee - I do have quite a striped tee collection. While these charcoal jeans are a lot more grey than the skinnies in the first outfit, I again liked the navy stripes with the darker denim. I thought the magenta accessories with the Balenciaga day bag and matchy-matchy magenta and gold necklace were a fun pop against the neutrals in my outfit.

We had a couple of errands to run, but otherwise a very lazy day. Did stop into Kmart on the way home to pick up some organisation pieces - I've been inspired by watching The Home Edit on Netflix and Kmart have a good range of little clear containers like you see on the show. Howard's Storage World has the official The Home Edit range here in Australia, but my budget nowadays is more Kmart! 😂


Last worn: navy white striped tee, gold and marble necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Converse (above), Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy white striped tee and maxi skirt, grey Nobody Denim jeans worn two ways, Converse and denim skirt, Balenciaga magenta day bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy white striped tee in third trimester, Converse for second trimester travel, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can't beat a striped tee and jeans! You can add a little extra colour with a big handbag like these Balenciaga day bags.

30 Ways To Wear Mulberry Alexa Satchel In Foggy Grey

I had this Mulberry Alexa in foggy grey in my wardrobe for a few years. While reminiscing about it I looked up some photos from the blog and was surprised to see I'd surpassed 30 wears with it! So although I've sold this bag on and no longer own it, let's look back on some of the ways I wore it while I had it.

30 Ways To Wear: Mulberry Alexa In Foggy Grey

Back in 2012 I was excitedly stalking the Mulberry Alexa bag on the now closed Reebonz site, waiting for that perfect storm of a great sale and a good exchange rate to bring it down to my budget. I was thrilled to score this bag for $1,028 as I had a discount code on top of the sale price. It was the perfect shade of greyish purple and I wore it a lot, getting to over 45 wears before I sold it on. I don't remember how much I sold it for though, which makes cost per wear tricky to calculate as I can't deduct the money I got from selling it! It works out at a $22.84 per wear just taking into account the price I paid and how many times I wore it, but I know that the new owner has worn it a bunch more too.

I sold the bag in 2016 so 45 wears in 4 years isn't too bad considering how often I rotate my bags. The turn lock closure and magnetic straps were just a bit too much each time I wanted to use the bag when my son was a newborn so it wouldn't have gotten much wear if I had decided to keep it. I probably won't stop searching it on resale sites now and then though, hoping I stumble across one at a bargain price in great condition!

30 Ways to Wear Mulberry Alexa Bag: Video Style

---

Here's some of the ways I wore this beautiful foggy grey lilac toned Mulberry Alexa bag while it was in my wardrobe:

Neutral Dresses and Purple Toned Alexa Bag

A colourful bag is a go-to for me with a neutral outfit! And these neutral black and brown dresses are the perfect backdrop to showcase the lovely purpley-grey colour of this Mulberry Alexa bag. Because it's such a grey based purple, it stands out without making too much of a statement.

Office Outfits With Mulberry Small Alexa Bag

While it was in my wardrobe, I found the Mulberry Alexa was a great bag to wear to work. The muted purple colour worked well as it wasn't too bold and bright and attention grabbing. It's a nice classic style for toting everything to work and really roomy too!

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Other Purple Clothing Pieces In An Outfit

I like a bit of matchy-matchy, but this Mulberry Alexa bag is such a unique shade of purple I didn't have anything in my wardrobe that matched it exactly! It does compliment other purple pieces in an outfit though, even if not the same shade. From the lilac tee, to the deeper purple skinny jeans, or even the berry cardigan that's more on the magenta side, this grey-ish purple goes perfectly!

Purple Scarf Outfits With Foggy Grey Alexa

Just like the outfits above, none of these purple scarves match the Alexa bag, even the lilac one around the grey dress in the middle. Again though I still think the extra shades of purple from the scarves go nicely with the different purple-grey shade of the bag.

Purple Toned Alexa Bag With Pink Outfits

Pink and purple is always a good colour combination - and these 4 outfits showcase that well, from bold neon pink, to a blush pink. The pink and purple colour combo with this bag works well in any pink shade.

Printed Dresses and Mulberry Alexa Bag

Because the Mulberry Alexa bag in foggy grey is one block colour with neutral toned hardware, it's easy to pair with printed pieces like these dresses. All three dresses here are different prints and colours but the Alexa is a great accessory with all three!

Mulberry Alexa Bag Worn In Winter Outfits

I'm not someone who thinks some colours can only be worn seasonally. While this purple toned bag is great for warmer weather, it works equally well in winter! As you saw with the neutral dress outfits above, I like it with dark winter neutrals like black, grey and navy as it provides just a little extra colour without being too bright.

Pregnancy Outfits with Mulberry Alexa Bag

I wore this Mulberry Alexa bag a lot in pregnancy - no matter how big my belly got, this bag always worked! Bags are a good investment as you can wear them for years.
