Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag, Jeanswest Maternity Denim Shorts and Singlets

While baby has arrived, I've got a few more pregnancy outfits scheduled to share on the blog, as I enjoy the newborn cuddles and try to avoid going out too often as we adjust to life with two under 2!


Two casual denim shorts outfits with my Balenciaga tempete day bag. Hard to believe it's almost 7 years old! This is why I like to splurge on accessories. They last a long time and unlike clothes, always fit - even during pregnancy.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Jacket: Somedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono (on sale!)
Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
Singlet: Jeanswest maternity tank in sea glass
Shorts: Jeanswest Georgie maternity boyfriend shorts (available in non-maternity also)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus turquoise and silver beaded bracelet set, Balenciaga classic double tour bracelet in pearly grey
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

When I was trying to think of different outfit combinations with my limited third trimester capsule wardrobe, I was having a look back through past blog photos and was surprised I hadn't worn this tank and kimono together before! I really like the pairing, glad I gave it a go.

Wore this for a day out in Brisbane with my mum and toddler T, we went to the baby and toddler expo and got a lot of great things. In the evening, we had dinner at the in-laws. I'd usually change and try get a little dressed up for dinner, but felt happy and comfortable in this so just wore the same thing in the evening.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Somedays Lovin' kimono, green maternity tank, boyfriend denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempte day bag.

Other ways to wear: printed kimono and a maxi skirt, green maternity tank with gold accessories, boyfriend denim shorts and a novelty pregnancy tee, Balenciaga tempte day bag and a blue dress.

What I wore:

Tank: Jeanswest Sol Maternity jacquard tank (non-maternity version)
Shorts: Jeanswest maternity rolled up shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bangle set
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This is an outfit combination I've worn before, the singlet and shorts together. Different accessories this time though, to try change it up just a little. It was another hot and humid day - despite it being autumn Brisbane hasn't turned down the summer temperatures yet! Just wanted something simple and easy for taking toddler T to playgroup.

Really liked the monochrome look of this outfit with the blue Balenciaga bag and the blue singlet and shorts.


Last worn: printed maternity singlet, maternity bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Balenciaga temptete day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed singlet and a red bag, bermuda denim shorts and a striped tank, blue Balenciaga day bag with pink and purple.

Weekday Wear Linkup: Wrap Tops and Pencil Skirts With Balenciaga Day Bags

For today's weekday wear I'm wearing some wrap tops that haven't been worn in a while with pencil skirts and statement necklaces for an easy office outfit.

What I wore:

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace
Top: Atmos & Here Arlene wrap top in navy
Skirt: Atmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne Ava white leopard ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this navy wrap top with a grey pencil skirt, I really like navy and grey together! To change it up a little I added some different accessories. This green and red beaded statement necklace is a firm fave and while I do wear it at other times through the year it seems so perfectly festive for December, being so close to Christmas! I wasn't sure if the leopard print flats would be too much with this given the necklace was already enough of a statement, but I ended up really liking it when I tried it.

The tempete Balenciaga day bag is the perfect mix of blue and grey so seemed like the obvious choice to wear with this 💙


Last worn: navy wrap top, green and red necklace, grey jersey pencil skirt, leopard print flats, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy wrap top and maxi skirt, grey jersey pencil skirt worn two ways, leopard print flats and jeans, Balenciaga tempete day bag and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy wrap top in third trimester, grey jersey pencil skirt in third trimester, Balenciaga tempete day bag in second trimester.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga Day

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Atmos&Here Nile wrap front jersey tee
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

Followed the same blue and grey colour scheme as the first outfit for this one, just with a single brighter colour in my accessories. I thought the basic grey wrap top was a nice neutral to pair with the jacquard pencil skirt and I really like the way the magenta pops against it!

This recently thrifted necklace was one I couldn't pass by in the opshop when I was in looking for Christmas books for our advent calendar. I knew it would be the perfect match with this magenta Balenciaga day bag and I love the way they look together!


Last worn: grey wrap top, jacquard pencil skirt, silver ballet flats, Balenciaga magenta day bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: grey wrap top and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt in winter, silver ballet flats and printed dress, Balenciaga magenta day bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: jacquard pencil skirt in first trimester, silver ballet flats in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

Wrap Tops Under $50:

---

How You Can Wear It:

A simple wrap top is a nice twist on a basic and works well in the office when you need to be a little more dressed up. They are great with pencil skirts! I bought both of these wrap tops for easy breastfeeding as they have a snap to hold them in place. It makes them simple to wear at work as they don't gape open. You could always layer a tank underneath if your top doesn't have a modesty snap.

Embroidery Trend and Shopping Your Wardrobe

While I'm attempting #6MonthsWithoutShopping, I've come across a few things I wished I could buy. I'm trying to just share the things on Twitter instead of buying!

Embroidery is a big trend at the moment, so a lot of the pieces I've wanted have been embroidered. Since I can't buy any new pieces of the trend, I've pulled the embroidered pieces I already have in my wardrobe out instead to shop my own wardrobe. Trends come and go. The tank was a sale buy from last autumn, and the blouse was from the year before that!

What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace (won in a giveaway)

Shirt: Jeanswest Elise longline embroidered shirt in coconut blue
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale, 44% off!)
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

First day trying my new hair curler, and also a day full of errands. I put Baby Boy in his stroller instead of the baby carrier which left me free to wear white and something other than a teething necklace. I won this pretty blue necklace in an Instagram giveaway from Uniquely Made with Love. It's a similar design to the teething necklace I love so much but it's smaller and not baby friendly. I really enjoyed wearing it, even if I did take it off as soon as we returned home to stop Baby Boy chewing on it!

I was commenting on a blog about how much I admired one of the embroidered blouses in their wishlist when I remembered this little-worn piece was tucked in the back of my wardrobe. It was nice to get it out again. White isn't a colour I wear often, with two toddlers and being a little clumsy myself I can't always keep it clean! This blouse was too pretty not to buy though. I love the way it looks with denim, and I've worn it very similarly before.


Last worn: embroidered tunic, denim shorts, Rebecca Minkoff gladiator sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: embroidered blouse and flares, denim shorts and summer layers, gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Balenciaga tempete day bag in the office.

Embroidered Blouses Under $50:

---

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers

Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O, on sale!)
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was the day before Baby Boy's first birthday party, so another busy day! Also another chance to wear one of the embroidered pieces from my wardrobe. This embroidered tunic was a $10 impulse sale buy in Target when I was out shopping with Beth. Although I've only worn it 8 times so far I'm sure I'll get my money's worth from it! No teething necklace with this outfit either, the tassels on the top are fun enough for Baby Boy.

I needed a big bag to hold everything I had to carry during the day, so kept on wearing this Balenciaga day bag. I wasn't too sure how it would look with the olive tank and black shorts but I love the muted colour scheme of the resulting outfit.  It was a cooler day and I'd considered adding another layer in the morning, but I was rushing around a lot picking up last minute food, decorations and a LOT of balloons for the party (I went a little overboard) so I wasn't too cold.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, khaki embroidered tank, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts, studded sandals, Balenciaga tempete day bag (above).

Other ways to wear: khaki embroidered tank and maxi skirt, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts worn two ways, studded sandals and a shirt dress, Balenciaga tempete day bag and maxi dress.

How You Can Wear It:

I'm always grateful for you supporting my little blog when you click links and purchase anything I've shared, as I earn a small commission on the sale. But I'm even more thrilled when I get comments saying how I've inspired people to rewear something from their own wardrobe. As these outfits show, you don't always have to rush out and buy something new to enjoy a trend. Shop your wardrobe first and see if you have anything similar!

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!

Corporate Style: Balenciaga Tempete Day Bag, Pencil Skirts and Leather Jackets

Two more office outfits, both featuring blue prints. It's been a while since I've worn my Balenciaga day bag and so I thought it was a good idea to get it out again. I like wearing it with blue.

Just wore my leather jacket instead of my usual go-to trench coats as it was a little warmer. I am looking forward to the end of winter and being able to wear fewer layers!

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket

Scarf: Nali feather print pashmina scarf
Shirt: Target blue abstract floral print shirt (new purchase)
Skirt: Jeanswest black ponte pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

Excited to get to wear my newest purchase! I bought this Target top back in July, when I was supposed to be doing #noBuyJuly15. I always end up buying something in sales, so I should never have decided to take a look at the sale. At least I only bought one thing. For only $10 I'm really happy with it, it's the kind of top I can wear to work and at home with baby too, so I'm not beating myself up too badly for buying something and not meeting the challenge 100%.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, feather print pashmina, black pencil skirt, Walnut Melbourne flats, Balenciaga Day bag.

Other ways to wear: printed leather jacket worn with stripes, pashmina with a navy dress, black pencil skirt hiding a second trimester bump, black flats with skinny jeans, Balenciaga day bag and summer dresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket

Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
Top: Jeanswest 'Tilda' black shirt
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

It's been a while since I wore this blue skull scarf too! During my wardrobe detox it was called out as a colour that's not great right next to my face, and something I should get rid of. I couldn't part with it though! I'm keeping it as I can live with the fact that I'll just look more tired on days I wear it, like I do here.

I'm trying to wear this pencil skirt a little more over winter. I tend to wear it a lot in the warmer months with bare legs, and not so much with black tights in winter. I'm trying to wear it more often to ensure I'm making the most of my wardrobe year-round. Not everything will work for all seasons, but I'd rather have the majority of things in my wardrobe being able to be worn all year, so I'm not leaving things unworn too long.


Last worn: printed leather jacket (above), blue skull scarf, black top, lace pencil skirt, Walnut Melbourne flats (above), Balenciaga temptete day bag (above).


Other ways to wear: leather jacket and a grey dress, skull scarf and striped dress, black top in the second trimester, pencil skirt worn casually outside the office, black flats with a printed dress, Balenciaga temptete day bag and denim shorts.

Dresses and Leather Jackets With Scarves and Balenciaga Day Bags

I'm always excited to get my leather jackets out. They are the perfect pieces to keep me warm in our Brisbane winters, and they look great with everything. I wore them recently with dresses to the office. I get to work early so the extra warmth from a leather jacket is appreciated in the cold winter commute. I did swap the jackets for a cosy cardigan when I got to my desk though.

What I wore:

Jacket: Wittner 'Santa Fe' cobalt blue leather jacket
Scarf: grey and gold embroidered feather scarf
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Rebecca Minkoff Liv double wrap velvet belt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bag: Balenciaga truffle brown RH classic day bag

Why I wore it:

While this dress only gets worn to the office, it is one of my favourite dresses. I love the colour and print, and it was definitely overdue a wear. I knew the cobalt of the leather jacket would go so nicely with the navy on the dress, but I was undecided about the scarf. I set aside a few to try in the morning and see which looked best, but as soon as I put this one on I knew I wasn't going to have to try any others - the grey scarf with gold embroidered feathers works so well with this printed dress!

There was nothing I'd change about this outfit - I did think of ankle boots in the morning but the ballet flats were fine. My legs were kept warm with my fleece lined tights, another winter must-have for me!


Last worn: cobalt leather jacket, feather embroidered scarf, velvet double wrap belt, Ikat print dress, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats, Balenciaga Day bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt leather jacket and maxi dress, feather embroidered scarf with black and white, velvet double wrap belt over a vest, Ikat print dress in summer, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats and printed skirt, Balenciaga Day bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Ikat print dress in third trimester, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats in second trimester, Balenciaga Day bag for second trimester travel.

What's In My Bag: Balenciaga Day

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Louis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
Dress: Target Dannii Minogue Petites printed wrap dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

While I liked this outfit, I didn't like it as much as the one above. I thought that the blue bag and scarf would look nice with this faux wrap dress. The dress is such a fun mix of colours, but I do wear blue with it frequently. Even this black moto jacket has a little bit of blue print on the sleeves, as you can see in the close up shot of the bag.

With the dress being such a bold and colourful print, again I was unsure what scarf to go with it. I decided on this blue monogram shawl. While it does have a monogram print on it, like the leather jacket it's so subtle I think it worked really nicely with this dress.

Might not have been my favourite outfit, but it was still nice for a busy meeting filled day at the office. I just loved the first outfit more!


Last worn: printed leather jacket, Louis Vuitton monogram shawl, Dannii Minogue Petite faux wrap dress, black ankle boots, Balenciaga tempete Day bag.

Other ways to wear: printed leather jacket and flares, Louis Vuitton monogram shawl and pencil skirt, Dannii Minogue Petite faux wrap dress and pink bag, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga tempete Day bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Dannii Minogue Petite faux wrap dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester, Balenciaga tempete Day bag in third trimester.

Faux Leather Jackets Under $50:

---

How You Can Wear It:

Just because you're heading into the office, it doesn't mean you have to leave your leather jacket behind. A tougher moto jacket works well with a feminine dress and keeps you cosy for the commute. It's so easy to throw your jacket over your chair when you get to your desk, and swap it for a cosy cardigan if the office aircon is a little chilly, or a blazer if you want to look more formal.

Navy Embroidered Tunic and Balenciaga Day Bags

Just before Christmas, my mum got me this beautiful Caroline Morgan navy embroidered tunic. She has such good taste. While it's impossible to breastfeed in, it's so beautiful I had to wear it right away. I wore it similarly both times although it was for different occasions.

What I wore:

Sunnies:  Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
Top: Caroline Morgan navy embroidered tunic (gifted)
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (currently on sale!)
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta (20% off with code 'WINTER')
Nails: OPI Koala Bear-y

Why I wore it:

This was perfect for the first wear. I really like the embroidery, and the navy colour makes my magenta Balenciaga bag really pop. I love wearing this bag with blue.

The tunic came with a cute little braided belt which I used to pull it up a bit and make it a little shorter. I was wearing my long shorts underneath but wanted them to be clearly seen as I felt it would look a little odd if people thought I as grocery shopping in just a super short dress! Petite problems, ha! Really liked the look of the tunic belted too. Wasn't completely convinced this was the best necklace to wear with it, but doesn't look too bad in the photos.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, denim bermuda shorts, studded sandals, Balenciaga magenta Day bag. First time I've worn the tunic.

Other ways to wear: bermuda shorts and slouchy tee, studded sandals and kimono, Balenciaga magenta Day bag and winter layers.

What I wore:

Hat: Big W bow detail sunhat
Top: Caroline Morgan navy embroidered tunic
Shorts: Jeanswest printed denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete
Nails: OPI Breakfast at Tiffany collection 'I got the mean reds' and 'Sunrise...bedtime'

Why I wore it:

Wore the tunic with denim shorts again for the second time. We decided a few days prior to head down the coast for a pool party. This was a perfect bikini cover up, and I used the belt again to pull the tunic up just a little to show off the shorts underneath. I think I liked the blouson effect in the first photo more, but this didn't stay on long before we were in the pool. Meant I didn't really add any accessories to this, just a nice simple pool party outfit.

Again another Balenciaga day bag! It really is my favourite Balenciaga style, and as I wasn't taking a bag poolside I didn't have to worry about it getting wet.


Last worn: sun hat, embroidered tunic (above), printed denim shorts, Havaianas, Balenciaga tempete day bag.

Other ways to wear: sun hat and maxi dress, printed shorts and printed kimono, Balenciaga tempete day bag and skinny jeans.
