Colourful Jeans, Converse and Kimonos | Weekday Wear Link Up

Simple jeans and tee outfits with some colourful kimonos and denim for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Two comfortable outfits that I wore back in the winter school holidays in June.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! I had a couple of quick errands to run in the morning before working from home for a few hours, a trip to the library and playground with the kids in the afternoon, before dinner and sports in the evening. I knew I wasn't going to have to layer up too much as all the running around would keep me warm! It was the perfect opportunity to give this navy tie dye kimono another wear.

I really like these magenta jeans with navy, and so I thought this navy tee would be a good pairing. It does have some fun fluted sleeves which unfortunately were covered up by the kimono though - felt like a bit of a waste hiding the cute sleeves of the tee under the kimono! The block navy colour was perfect with the tie dye print and magenta pink of the jeans though. Added the gold necklace to match the little gold hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag.

Last worn: tie dye kimono, navy tee, gold circle necklace, magenta jeans, white Converse All Star, pink mini 5 zip bag.

Other ways to wear: tie dye kimono and shorts, navy tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and leather jacket, white Converse All Star and midi skirt, pink mini 5 zip bag and denim skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

Mini MAC and 5 Zip Bag Comparison:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Top: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)

Why I wore it:

Although this was a wet day it was still pretty warm! We were lucky to miss most of the rain in the morning, as it didn't start raining heavily until I had dropped the kids off at their holiday program, and it wasn't raining in the afternoon. Was another busy day as I had to work from home while the kids were out. My mum came over in the afternoon too.

Kept it simple - surprisingly despite the burgundy jeans pairing so nicely with the red florals in the print of this duster I haven't worn them together frequently! I thought the plain black tee was a good basic piece, and to stop the outfit being too dark I added some turquoise accessories with the beaded necklace and the little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, turquoise beaded necklace, black tee, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and chambray dress, black tee and shorts, burgundy jeans and stripe tee, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and culottes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester, mini MAC and non-maternity clothes in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A staple jeans and tee outfit is perfect for working from home, and you can make it even more colourful with different denim instead of classic blue, and add a kimono on top.

Pink and Purple: Jeans and Floral Kimono Outfits | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two more skinny jeans and kimono outfits. Taking advantage of the winter weather in Brisbane reverting to more seasonably expected warmer temps back in June to go partially bare-armed. Both these outfits have floral kimonos, purple, and my little prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! I wasn't sure about the black space dye peplum tee with the grey skinny jeans and black Converse - it was a lot of neutrals! But even though the dark floral kimono has a black background I think the purple floral print added the perfect amount of colour to this outfit. Especially with the lilac necklace and the prune Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag.

With the neutral tonal black/grey column underneath I think the different shades of purple and magenta and lilac with the kimono and accessories worked really nicely in this outfit. Perfect for the school run, working from home, and sports for the kids in the evening.


Last worn: purple floral kimono, lilac necklace, space dye peplum tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and skirt, space dye peplum tee and red jeans, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and double denim.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff MAC Unboxing:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC with pom pom and tassel keychain

Why I wore it:

I realised I hadn't worn these purple skinny jeans in a while and that they were definitely overdue another wear! Surprisingly I hadn't yet worn them with the tropical floral print duster. I liked wearing my lilac tee with this duster so it's strange it's taken me so long to put the jeans together with them!

With all the colours in the floral print, the magenta Rebecca Minkoff MAC bag and the purple jeans, I kept it simple with just a plain grey tee. I considered a scarf with this as it was a bit of a windy day, but it was warm and sunny so I went with a necklace instead. I liked this easy outfit!


Last worn: tropical floral print kimono, wooden bead necklace, grey tee, purple skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print kimono over a dress, grey tee and shorts, purple skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff prune MAC and navy dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: grey tee in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A floral print kimono is a great topper with jeans and a tee - and you can add even more colour to your outfit with a bright accessory like this prune MAC bag.

Floral Dusters With Jeans and Tee and Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

After an unseasonably cold start to winter things warmed up a little more in mid-June here in Brisbane to get back to our usual average temperatures so I could get away with wearing kimonos and jeans. The perfect light layer to dress up a jeans and tee outfit a little more for a few errands.

What I wore:

 

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I wanted to try something different with this green floral duster and thought about this clay tee. I worried with it being a bit too red that it would look Christmas-y against the emerald green of the duster, but I ended up really loving this outfit! I think the almond Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag helped bring out more of the brown in the tee.

As you can see from the Insta pic we went out that weekend for a walk along a local trail - in a search for more branches and twigs to change up the enclosures we have for all of the insects my son has accumulated! The praying mantis egg pouch has not yet hatched, but he's got 2 other kinds of mantises to look after as well now. Despite the breeze it was a warm and sunny day so this light duster was all I needed to layer up for our walk. 

Luckily we have no shortage of bushland around the neighbourhood. We have to try go out bush a little to stay away from accidentally picking up twigs or leaves that might have been in someone's garden and treated with chemicals that could harm or upset the insects!

Last worn: green floral duster, clay v-neck tee, stone pendant necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and Bermuda shorts, clay v-neck tee and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim jeans worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and maxi skirt.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden bead bracelets and red Roie designs bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

Another weekend outfit! This was a slightly busier Saturday with a lot more running and driving around to do - including of course our weekly stop at the library. This deep purple tee is one that I've had in my wardrobe a few years but I've started wearing on frequent repeat more often lately. The dark colour is perfect for autumn, and while none of the colours in the floral print match it, I think that the dark colours lets all the bright print really shine and stand out, especially when paired with black jeans.

Decided to try be a little matchy-matchy of course with my accessories and the wooden beaded bracelets that have a similar tone to the almond Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, wine tee, beaded necklace, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and chambray dress, wine tee over a dress, faded black jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: wine tee in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A kimono over a tee and denim outfit will always be a staple for me! for colourful printed dusters like this, plain block colour tees are the best outfit base to start with, along with neutral coloured black or grey jeans.

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklace, dark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple floral kimono and denim skirt, dark grey tee worn 30 ways, magenta jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: dark grey tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

My Chloe Handbag Collection

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Autumnal Coloured Outfits With Floral Kimonos and Black Tote Bag

Layering up some floral kimonos with more muted autumn-coloured outfits, black New Balance sneakers and my frequent go-to black bag, the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

What I wore:

Jacket: Woven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a strange kind of day! It was quite overcast but still bright enough to make me squint without my sunnies on! It was really windy too so I wasn't entirely sure that this kimono would be enough to keep me warm on top of my jeans and tee outfit. While it didn't warm up as much as I hoped, I thankfully didn't freeze on the playground - even with the breeze! I was glad of that, as I really wanted to wear this kimono and tee together - I thought the navy in the tee matched the navy in the floral print nicely!

While there's no olive in the kimono, these jeans are a great neutral that go with a lot, and were super comfortable for a morning at the playground with the kids. We went to one that was a little further away, but a firm favourite, so the New Balance sneakers were essential to support my knee on the longer than usual drive.

Last worn: brown floral kimono, navy tee, terrazzo necklace, olive jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: brown floral kimono and denim skirt, navy tee over maxi dress, olive jeans for long haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and maxi skirt.

What's In My Rebecca Minkoff Black Unlined Tote Bag:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

I'm still not sure this outfit entirely worked! I liked the burgundy tee with the black printed shorts, and since I was loving denim skirts over summer, these cute printed shorts have been a bit neglected and were definitely overdue a wear. It was a lot cooler than I expected that morning though. I decided to add this long duster to layer up a little as we had another morning at the playground, with a couple of errands and a library trip on the way. Thankfully it warmed up a lot and was nice and sunny when we got to the playground.

I thought the small white print on these shorts was subtle enough that it didn't clash badly with the floral print on the duster, but looking at the photos the print seems a lot bolder than it did in the mirror that morning! I'm still pleased I tried something a little different with this duster and a bit of print mixing, even if I wouldn't repeat this again.


Last worn: tropical floral duster, burgundy tee, beaded necklace, printed black shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and shorts, burgundy tee in capsule wardrobe, printed black shorts and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Your floral kimonos can still work in autumn! They layer nicely with dark colours like burgundy and black and navy and olive, as I've worn in these two outfits.

Jeans and Tee Outfits With Printed Kimonos and Chloe Marcie Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing more autumn outfits with skinny jeans, sneakers, colourful tees, kimonos and my Chloe Marcie hobo bag. I love autumn days where a light layer like a kimono is all you need with a pair of jeans to keep warm.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
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: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

This was a busy, but fun day! Had the usual school run, helping in my son's classroom, some time working from home before school pickup in the afternoon, and then shopping with my sister after I picked the kids up. We both only needed to grab a couple of things, but since she was near the bayside area she called and we decided to do our shopping together, and then have dinner. Was a very productive day.

With the deep purple tee and black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black Converse, this was looking like a very dark outfit! I thought that the Chloe Marcie lightened it up a little, as did the gold necklace which was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the hardware on the bag, even if it's slightly different shades of gold. I added the kimono to brighten the outfit up even more, although the purple tones in the tee and print are very different I thought they worked nicely together. Even if it was a little bit warm in the middle of the day, I was thankful for the kimono when things cooled off in the afternoon.


Last worn: purple printed kimono, slouchy tee, gold circle necklace, black Nobody Denim jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and shorts, slouchy tee over a dress, black Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Converse and navy dress, Chloe Marcie bag and printed skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: slouchy tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Another working from home day while the kids were at school, and a very chilly start to the morning! I did wonder if this kimono was going to be warm enough, but thankfully the day heated up a little. Another pair of black skinny jeans as well - these were just $1 and in my size at the opshop so I couldn't say no! Good denim is hard to find, especially when you're petite like me so I was thrilled with these!

Added the bright red tee - very bold and colourful with the black - not just because it matched the red flowers in the floral print of the duster, but because it would help ensure my son saw me at school. He was getting given an award and I wanted to show up at the ceremony and surprise him. He definitely had no problems noticing me!

Ended up taking this bracelet stack off when making a lot of noise at my desk trying to type up meeting notes! But I did like how the faux pearls matched the freshwater pearls on my tassel necklace nicely, even if they weren't the most practical choice for a day at my desk with lots of note taking!


Last worn: tropical floral duster, red tee, pearl and tassel necklace, bracelet stack, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Marcie bag (above). First time I've worn these jeans as they were a summer thrift find.

Other ways to wear: tropical floral duster and skirt, red tee and Bermuda shorts, Adidas Superstar sneakers and culottes, Chloe Marcie bag and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Colourful printed kimonos are a great layer to add before the temperatures get too cold! They provide a lot of extra print and colour to a classic jeans and tee outfit.

Blue Dresses and Duster Kimonos With Tote Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

While it's still pretty warm during the days in Brisbane right now, as it's the second month of autumn it is cooling off a little. The colder mornings and evenings inspired me to layer up these two blue dresses slightly with some floral dusters, accessorised with Converse and my Rebecca Minkoff black unlined tote bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Rachel Lyocell chambray dress
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was an interesting day! It was the school holidays but I had to work, so my mum and sister had a fun day out planned for the boys. I ended up driving down to the coast and working from home at my parent's place while they had some adventures elsewhere. It was nice to work from a different environment for a day as well. So many of my colleagues have come down with Covid that we have not been able to successfully organise a day for us all to catch up in the office, even though the office is open. About half my team are in another state so even going into the office we still won't all be face to face.

Felt that this chambray dress was overdue another wear and with a little bit of driving the Converse were a practical choice. I layered this dress up with a duster kimono last time I wore it too, and I loved this tropical floral print one with it this time. Even if I took it off when it was warmer in the middle of the day.

The big tote bag was of course an essential for taking everything I needed for work over to my parent's house for the day, including my laptop.

Last worn: floral duster, gold charm necklace, chambray dress, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag.

Other ways to wear: floral duster and skirt, chambray dress and cardigan, white Converse and midi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: chambray dress in second trimester, Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

My Complete Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered knit dress in indigo ink with pockets
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

I like blue and green together so I was eager to try this green floral duster with the navy tiered dress. I wasn't sure when I put it on if the proportions worked and considered trying a shorter kimono instead, but when I added the long tassel necklace to this I found I loved the long relaxed lines of it! Felt super comfortable in this all day.

While the kids spent some time with their grandparents I was working from home again, and had an appointment that morning and a quick errand after work. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag again as it is a great size for including a paperback book to read while in a waiting room!

Last worn: green floral duster, turquoise tassel necklace, navy tiered dress, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and Bermuda shorts, navy tiered dress and orange bag, black Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:
