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.

Striped Tees, Skinny Jeans and Colourful Cardis

Sharing two recently worn striped tee and jeans outfits, with colourful cardigans to combat the cooler winter weather in Brisbane.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This was a colder than expected winter day with a bit of rain and I actually wished I'd added a scarf to this outfit after the school drop off in the morning! I did like it when I wasn't feeling too cold though.

Was a quiet day but it was good to get out and about with it being the first full day after the 8 day Brisbane lockdown ended at 4pm the evening before. Doing the school run and attending our regular appointments again was so nice after an extra long 8 day lockdown.

These olive jeans look great with mustard, I like wearing this mustard cardigan with them. And you can't go wrong with a classic striped tee! The Chloe small Ethel bag was again a good choice as it fits so much - all the essentials plus my younger son's hoodie and both our water bottles.

Last worn: mustard cardigan, beaded necklace, striped tee, olive skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, striped tee and maxi skirt, olive skinny jeans on long haul flight, Adidas Superstar sneakers and midi dress, Chloe small Ethel bag and monochrome outfit.

30 Ways to Wear a Colourful Cardigan:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

A quickly thrown together outfit I wore a while ago, for our final day of lockdown. (Before the day above!) We'd used up all the bread for breakfast that morning, so after watching the press conference and finding out the good news that lockdown was ending as planned I got out of loungewear and headed out to the shops to grab some bread.

Jeans and a striped tee is such an easy outfit, and I thought these magenta jeans added a nice touch of colour. The navy cardigan was a matchy-matchy choice with the navy stripes on the tee, but I didn't really need it. It was such a warm day I was eager to take it off when I got back home. The kids spent most of the day playing in the little tent you see in the background there!

Because all I needed was one loaf of bread I wasn't out long - this cute little blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag is nice with the darker navy blue of the cardigan and is perfect for just a wallet, mask, hand sanitiser and car keys.

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, Tiffany heart necklace, navy stripe tee, magenta jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, navy stripe tee and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and floral duster, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and blue dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can't go wrong with jeans and a tee! A striped tee is a classic and a good way to add a print to your outfit. A bright cardigan or pair of jeans - or both! - can add more colour too.

Metallic Knits, Blue Scarves, Colourful Jeans And Crossbody Bags

Feeling the cold in Brisbane back during July and layering up with knits, jeans and scarves. Keeping it colourful with different coloured denim and navy scarves with my metallic jumpers.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy Geo print tassel scarf (c/o)
Jumper: thrifted vintage Haneli metallic gold knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

This was a big day! It was an extremely foggy (and early) start to the morning as I was volunteering with a friend to help fundraise at the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle. I put a long sleeve tee under my metallic gold knit, as well as my big cosy navy scarf to keep me warm for standing outside all morning. Didn't need to worry though - once the fog cleared where we were and the sun came out I was actually far too warm! Ended up taking the scarf off quite quickly and rolling up the sleeves on my jumper. Sadly somewhere along the way one of the tassels fell off my scarf.

I did like the scarf with this outfit - I like the extra colour the navy print brings to the gold and olive. It just didn't stay on long, as I kept it off even in the afternoon too when I took the kids to the library. I'd added the neutral Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag as I wasn't sure what colour bag to wear with this and was in a rush to get to the BBQ on time. I think a navy one to match the scarf could have looked nice too but given how little I wore the scarf I was glad I went with the almond bag.


Last worn: vintage metallic knit, navy mixed print scarf, olive skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: vintage metallic knit and black jeans, navy mixed print scarf with mustard tee, olive skinny jeans for long-haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and floral dress.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag and Mini MAC Comparison

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Jumper: Jeanswest Kara foil pullover in smoke marl and silver
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

This is a much more subtle metallic knit! I like the silver foil polka dots on this grey knit, but being a little on the thin side it's not one I frequently reach for over winter. It's so pretty though I keep it around even if it's only worn a handful of times a year! True winter weather is so brief here in Brisbane it's hard to wear jumpers more than a handful of times really.

With the neutral grey I added a lot more colour with the burgundy jeans and the bright blue scarf. Unlike the first outfit where the knit was the statement in the outfit I feel this scarf was the statement to complete the outfit. It stayed on all day too, was a chilly morning for the school run and kept me warm for my little one's sports in the morning and then sports for both boys after school pickup in the evening.

Couldn't resist going a little matchy-matchy for this outfit too with my metallic silver mini MAC. Surprisingly, it's the first time I've worn this knit and bag together - such an obvious choice I can't believe I haven't tried the combo yet! Wore such a tiny bag as I put my son's sports stuff and water bottles in the baby bag to take along to class with us.

Last worn: foil polka dot knit, navy MbMJ scarf, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: foil polka dot knit and shorts, navy MbMJ scarf with monochrome outfit, burgundy jeans and kimono, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and maxi.

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

---

How You Can Wear It:

A metallic twist is a fun way to change up a classic winter knit - you can go bold with a completely metallic thread, or more subtle like the second outfit with the foil polka dot detail. With metallics being neutrals they pair so nicely with colourful scarves or jeans too!

Colourful Cardigans, Peplum Tops And Skinny Jeans With Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

Cosy dressing for two wet winter days in Brisbane recently! Adding some colour to peplum top and jeans outfits, with cardigans and my teal Rebecca Minkoff Love too bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Top: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This was one of those days that didn't go according to plan at all! We had been planning to cheer my son on as he did sports, but the wet weather that morning meant it was cancelled. Thankfully though it meant I was able to accept any appointment the vet could give us for that day after an incident with Cooper the night before, and they were able to squeeze us in that afternoon. It was supposed to be a much more fun day than it turned out to be!

Rough day aside, I did like this outfit! I like this mustard cardigan with olive, I wear it with olive a lot and it was a nice layer with these olive jeans. I liked the colour combination with the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and mustard cardigan too! Not the first time I've worn this teal bag with the olive jeans either. This outfit is really just combinations I've enjoyed before repeated again, which is why I think I loved this so much despite the downer of a day.

The peplum top was a nice comfortable option - I'd been remined about this top after a post of Sheila's so I wanted to get it out again!

Last worn: mustard cardigan, peplum tee, silver circle necklace, olive skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and orange dress, peplum tee and red jeans, olive skinny jeans for long haul flight, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi dress.

Unboxing My Rebecca Minkoff Love Too Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Necklace: Colette crescent purple and gold necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I do have a few peplum tops! For something different I decided to get this pretty bird print one out again. With the colours in the print I thought neutral grey skinny jeans were the best choice, and because of the navy and pink I went with the purple cardigan. Again, just like above, it's a repeat of a combination I've worn before as it's not the first time I've worn this navy and pink peplum tank with purple. Last time I wore it with purple jeans. I liked the cardigan with it, a good warm layer for another rainy day. We spent most of the day at home but did pop out to the library for a bit, so the small Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag was all I needed to wear as I had a big green bag for our book haul!

I'd really liked the magenta crescent necklace with this when thinking up the outfit the night before, but it doesn't look as good as I thought in the photos. Another necklace would have been better I think.


Last worn: purple cocoon cardigan, magenta crescent necklace, navy bird print peplum tank, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: purple cocoon cardigan and maxi skirt, navy bird print peplum tank and pencil skirt, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Adidas Superstar and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag in the office.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cocoon cardigan in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A peplum on a top can add a little bit of extra interest to a printed tee or tank, and it's a very mum-tum friendly outfit idea! If it's winter try adding jeans and a cardigan on top for warmth and extra colour.

Ombre Knits With Olive And Blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren Bag

Again with the winter knits! While I wore these outfits in autumn it was starting to get pretty cool as we got closer to the start of June and the official start of winter in Brisbane, so definitely time to get my winter knits out! Wearing an old ombre favourite and a new one I scored from my sister's wardrobe clear out, both with olive and blush.

What I wore:

Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This was a really windy day so I wanted to layer up. While this is a thin open knit, because it's so open I always wear something under it too like a tee or tank, and that helps keep me warm. My son was being honoured at school and I was working from home, so I took a late lunch to go watch the ceremony.

I was surprised I hadn't worn this brown toned ombre knit with the olive skinny jeans before, they seem like such a good neutral pairing! I was worried the outfit was a bit too pale with all these neutrals, so added the blush tassel necklace and Rebecca Minkoff small Darren bag for a little extra colour. Plus the bag fits my camera for taking photos of my son during the ceremony.

Unfortunately though I think that another colour would have been better to accessorise with here. Not the worst outfit, and one that was perfectly comfortable and practical for a day of working from home and spending some time at school, but I just don't think the blush Darren bag was enough of a pop here.


Last worn: brown ombre knit, blush tassel necklace, olive skinny jeans, white Converse, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: brown ombre knit worn 2 ways, olive skinny jeans and kimono, white Converse and striped dress, blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag and pink shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: brown ombre knit at 40 weeks, white Converse all star in second trimester.

Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Review:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Knit: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

This is a much more colourful outfit! I think this blue knit works well with the olive shorts - and while I kept the same bag, the blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren, I think it is better with this outfit because of the blue knit bringing more colour. I do like blush and olive together, I just need something extra for a bit more brightness in an outfit!

A cosy knit and soft shorts is an outfit formula I love to wear but I really need to take advantage of the weather to wear it when I can, before it gets too cold and wintery here! I shared a similar outfit previously, wanting to squeeze in some more wears from these cute shorts before bare leg season is over! The only downside for me with this outfit was the necklace - I thought it would be nice with the blue knit but it kind of gets a bit lost there - it wasn't really an outfit that needed a necklace with the ombre stripes, would have been better without it I think.

Had a busy day with the school run, errands and a trip to the playground and library with the little one. As I'd aggravated my knee injury I needed a little extra support - ended up needing to wear my knee brace when we got to the playground as too much driving can be really painful without it.


Last worn: navy bead and gold tassel necklace, blue ombre stripe knit, olive soft shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff blush Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: ombre knit and jeans, olive soft shorts and floral kimono, New Balance sneakers and culottes, Rebecca Minkoff blush Darren bag and pink dress.

---

How You Can Wear It:

Olive is a staple neutral - and a good way to introduce green into your wardrobe if you don't have much of it already! These neutral olive shorts and skinny jeans work well with textured patterned tops like the ombre knits, and blush pink is always a good idea to accessorise with olive too!

Olive and Mustard Outfits With Blue Bags

I really like olive and mustard together! For Monday's post I shared some yellow and blue outfits, this time around it's yellow and olive green, with a little touch of blue.

What I wore:

Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! After the school run I took my youngest out to a messy play day. Something we used to do and enjoy regularly before Covid last year. It was so good to attend again. They've been running them for a while as life returned to normal quickly here after the first lockdown in March 2020 when we reached no cases, but we've always had something else on so couldn't make it before. It was an Easter theme so lots of eggs and bunnies and my son really enjoyed it. I just wanted a simple outfit as I know from experience there can be a little bit of mess that makes its way onto me!

So I wore simple soft shorts (these olive ones are a staple this summer) and a bright tee. This mustard one hasn't been worn in a while and surprisingly I've never worn it with these shorts before! I really like yellow with these olive shorts so it was interesting to see I hadn't put these two pieces together before. Added the tortoiseshell tassel necklace to try dress this up just a little.

The blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is another touch of colour with the outfit but I just picked it as it's easy to clean with a baby wipe, in anticipation of it getting dirty during messy play!


Last worn: mustard tee, tortoiseshell necklace, olive shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: mustard tee and maxi skirt, olive shorts with navy, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and midi dress.

Unboxing My Latest Bag Buy:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Top: Kmart short sleeve textured dolman top in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear this (almost more orange than mustard top) with the olive shorts above, but a cooler and rainy autumn day meant I went with jeans instead. Luckily I have these olive green skinny jeans so I could still wear the colour combo I had planned.

This was such a comfortable outfit for working from home and then spending some time with my mum in the afternoon. This marigold ribbed batwing sleeve top is so perfectly slouchy and such a cheerful colour, and these jeans are so comfortable. I wore them when we flew to Europe a couple years ago. The statement necklace helped dress it up a little too.

I thought the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag would be a nice touch with the olive jeans, teal and olive are a surprisingly good combination.

Last worn: marigold slouchy top, statement necklace, olive skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: marigold slouchy top with grey, olive skinny jeans for long-haul flight, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi dress.

How You Can Wear It 

Mustard and olive looks so good together! You can even introduce a third colour to your outfit with an accessory like a bag too, for an even more colourful and cheerful outfit.

Weekday Wear Linkup: Floral Duster Kimonos With Colourful Skinny Jeans

Slightly cheating with today's Weekday Wear Linkup post, as I only wore one of these outfits during the week - the other I wore on a Sunday when I needed to get the boys out the house. Both incredibly similar though, and definitely the kind of thing I wear through the week for the school run. Duster kimonos just work so well with colourful jeans!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Hubby had started doing some yard work so the back yard was off limits for the kids and instead I took them out to run around along our favourite local trail. I decided at the last minute (after I'd taken these pics) to swap to my daggy walking shoes instead of my Converse and I'm glad I did as although we took their bike and scooter we left them at the side of the trail as we headed off the track a few times, and my knee needed the extra support hiking through the bush.

I really liked all the bright colours in this outfit! I wasn't sure about the navy tee with the navy floral print duster but I wanted to give it a try - I think this marle tee was the perfect one to wear with it as it wasn't too matchy-matchy, just different enough to work with the darker navy of the kimono. I matched the necklace and jeans to the print on the kimono too, picking out the tiny pink flowers in the print to wear this marble and gold necklace with my magenta Sass and Bide skinny jeans.

The Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is my go-to bag for spending time out with the kids, fits all our water bottles and some snacks for the walk nicely!

Last worn: floral duster kimono, gold and marble necklace, navy marle tee, magenta skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

Other ways to wear: floral duster kimono over a dress, navy marle tee over a maxi dress, magenta skinny jeans with purple, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack with green jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Favourite Rebecca Minkoff Bag In My Handbag Collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah Long Line Kimono in Green Floral
Necklace: Lovisa blue leaf long necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit worn a few days later! Again I picked colourful jeans, Converse, a floral duster and a blue bag. The white tee again matched the print on my kimono, the white florals this time. The olive skinny jeans didn't match and I was worried that the two greens together would be too much, but I think the olive when nicely with the green of the duster and the blue leaf necklace and micro Bedford bag broke up the green nicely. I really liked this outfit!

After the school drop off we spent some time exploring the local trails again before the school pickup in the afternoon. I'm enjoying being able to get out with the kids so much in this nice weather, although I did wish a couple of times I'd worn shorts instead of jeans as it was a really warm spring day!

Last worn: green floral duster, navy leaf necklace, white v-neck tee, olive skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, white v-neck tee and maxi skirt, olive skinny jeans and blazer, black Converse and tee dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: black Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Floral dusters are a great spring layer to add to a casual jeans and tee outfit. You can use them to add extra colour or print, or match the colours in the print to the jeans and tee you wear.
