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:

navy tie dye kimono with blue tee and magenta jeans mini 5 zip bag | awayfromblue

navy tie dye kimono with Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware  | awayfromtheblue



JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca 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.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse Chucks and maternity shorts.

ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

BagRebecca 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.

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.

Orange And Navy Outfits With Turquoise Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different outfits I wore recently for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, for the school run and working from home. Both featuring navy and orange together.


What I wore:

navy v-neck tee, rust ruffle skirt, converse, rebecca minkoff aqua mini mac | awayfromblue

rust ruffle skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue



Necklace: terrazzo and wood rose gold bead necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Sophie navy v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)


Why I wore it:

I loved this outfit! I'm so glad I thrifted this skirt at the opshop for just $1, every time I wear it it makes me smile. Kept it super simple for a busy day with a plain navy v-neck tee and Converse. It's not the first time I've worn this skirt with Converse, it's a really cute combination. Blue and orange work together so well, this navy tee was the perfect topper for the skirt.

The Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine was a great pop against the rust skirt, I really liked that combination also. Nice easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and then taking the kids out shopping in the afternoon to get a present for a birthday party the next day.


Last worn: navy tee, beaded necklace, orange ruffle skirt, black Converse, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wearnavy tee and olive shorts, orange ruffle skirt and denim jacket, black Converse and jeans, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and printed culottes.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester, aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in second trimester.

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga first bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

A very different shade of orange! This marigold tee is quite bright against this navy floral duster. While there isn't any orange in the print of the kimono I think the orange still goes well with it due to that navy background. Wore my Bermuda denim shorts again which have been getting a lot of wear recently! Despite it being autumn and a very wet and rainy day, it was still a humid morning that called for shorts over jeans. I did end up changing to jeans in the evening though when we went out for sports, as it was a little chilly doing school pick up in the afternoon.

Despite the bright orange of the tee I thought this outfit could use a little more colour, so went with another of my turquoise bags, this cute Balenciaga bleu India first bag. I like this floral duster and the first bag together, I've worn them together before.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, navy tassel necklace, marigold tee, Bermuda denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise First bag.

Other ways to weartropical floral print duster and denim skirt, marigold tee and culottes, Bermuda denim shorts worn 30 ways, Balenciaga turquoise First bag and pink dress.




How You Can Wear It:

Navy is a great neutral and as you can see here it works well with both the darker rust orange and the brighter marigold orange tee. You can't go wrong with blue and orange!

Leopard Print Tees and Distressed Denim Skirts With Aqua Mini MAC Crossbody Bag

Demonstrating my love of outfit formulas again by wearing two incredibly similar outfits with distressed denim skirts, sneakers and leopard print tees, a few days apart. One more colourful outfit and another more neutral one, but both with an extra pop of colour from my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag in aquamarine.


What I wore:

Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | Sass ans bide new day rising neon orange leopard tee distressed denim skirt Adidas Superstar mini mac bag


NecklaceZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
TopSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: JayJays distressed denim mini skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)


Why I wore it:

This was an easy outfit for a hot day! I like the boxy cut of this tee, although I do think that maybe I should have tucked it into this distressed denim skirt. I really loved it last time I wore it that way with another denim skirt. I felt comfortable and colourful in this all day though, it was only looking at the pics I thought I should have tucked the tee in.

I like orange and blue together so the cobalt beaded necklace and House of Harlow wrap bracelet were easy accessory options with this, and the little aqua mini MAC really pops with the neon orange leopard print. It's not the first time I've worn this bag and tee together, I really like the pairing!

I'd planned a relaxed day for some child-free time after dropping both kids off at school. I did have a couple of errands to run, but I managed to make it to my favourite opshop for a very long and leisurely browse too. I didn't get much for myself but I did fill a bag of clothes for the kids that was just $5! Pretty good deals! The Adidas Superstar sneakers were nice and comfortable for the little bit of running around I did in the morning before school pick up in the afternoon.


Last worn: orange leopard print tee, blue beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, distressed denim skirt, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Ways To Wear a Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC







What I wore:

monochromatic grey leopard print tee black distressed denim skirt outfit with aqua mini mac bag pop of colour | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive black wooden bead multi strand statement necklace (new purchase)
Tee: Kmart grey leopard print tee
SkirtNobody Denim Piper vacation skirt in black distressed denim
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather (get it in pink)


Why I wore it:

Our usual Friday library visits have been pushed to the weekend now both kids are in school! After a great week at school I took the kids out to the library to pick up some new books, and then to the bike track for a little ride around. It was threatening to rain all morning but thankfully we were in the car on the way home before the rain started, perfect timing!

This necklace is one of my recent opshop finds - it's the same as the turquoise one I thrifted at a different opshop back in December, what are the chances! I thought I'd keep it simple and use it with a monochromatic outfit with this grey leopard print tee and the black Nobody Denim distressed skirt, and black New Balance sneakers. The grey tee was a bargain Kmart clearance find a couple of years ago and as this is it's 6th wear I'm definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it!

Of course I couldn't have a completely neutral outfit - I always want to add some colour - and much like it was in the first outfit above, the little aquamarine mini MAC bag was a great pop with this leopard print tee. It looks so good with black and grey.


Last worn: grey leopard print tee, distressed denim skirt, black and white bangle, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

How You Can Wear It

Tess and denim are a summer staple! A printed tee, like these two leopard print ones, can add a little more interest to a simple tee and denim skirt outfit.

Red Tees, Denim Shorts, Printed Kimonos and Aqua Mini MAC Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

Sharing some more colourful casual shorts and tees outfits for summer with red tees, printed kimonos and a little aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Wore both these outfits back in December.


What I wore:

coral tee black denim shorts floral duster adidas sneakers aqua mini mac bag shopping outfit | awayfromtheblue

tropical floral print kimono duster with Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue

Tee: Jeanswest Emily cotton v-neck tee in coral
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly I haven't worn this coral red tee with this tropical floral print duster before! They are such a good combination, even if the shades of red don't match. I added this fun statement beaded necklace for a touch of even more red, and the little aqua mini MAC bag was another bright pop of colour.

This was a great outfit for a busy school holiday day before Christmas! Took the kids out to watch a Christmas movie in the morning, they picked up a few last minute presents and we had time for some Christmas craft at the shopping centre too before heading home as we had sports in the afternoon.

We saw the "A Boy Called Christmas" movie and it was really good! Highly recommend watching it - maybe next year as Christmas is long over now - I've just been a bit behind with sharing outfits!






What I wore:

Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much I followed the outfit formula again a few days later. Went with this shorter blue printed kimono this time, and this slouchy red round neck tee. So nice paired with the blue Bermuda denim shorts, and again with the aqua mini MAC bag

Wore my supportive New Balance sneakers, as again we had a busy day! Dropping off some donations at the opshop in the morning, and of course having a little browse, and then some shopping and having lunch with mum at IKEA.



How You Can Wear It:

A kimono is a great piece to have in your wardrobe for summer! You can throw it over a basic shorts and tee outfit, as I have here, to add more colour and interest to your outfit.

Orange Skirts and Foil Tees With Green Rebecca Minkoff CrossBody Bags

Simple summer outfits with white foil print tees and orange skirts for a couple of busy days back at the end of November.


What I wore:

star print foil tee with rust ruffle mini skirt sneakers and green rebecca minkoff 5 zip bag | awayfromblue

rust ruffle skirt with Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag | awayfromblue blog


Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Kaylin star foil grey tee
Skirt: thrifted no label rust ruffle tiered skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Each year my mum and sister and I have an annual shopping day to finalise all our Christmas shopping. We left it a little late this year, as it was the last week of November, but it had given us plenty of time to finalise our shopping lists. And we were happy to find out the date we had organised weeks in advance was the Black Friday weekend, as there were so many deals! It was pretty crowded at the shops but I saved over $50 just on Lego alone so it worked out well despite the long lines trying to buy things.

This silver star print tee seemed like a slightly festive choice to wear for our long and productive day of shopping. It's comfortable and I liked the little sparkle, even if it didn't match the gold hardware on the Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I'd wanted to wear green and orange together again and thought his rust skirt and green bag were a good way to try that. I really loved the last time I wore orange and green together for our Christmas photos!

With the star print on the tee being fairly subtle I added this necklace at the last minute too. None of the other ones I tried seemed to be right, and I'm not sure this one was either, but I just wanted to go make a start on shopping. We were at the shops shortly after they opened and in our second last store when they put out a message it was closing in 20 minutes! A very productive shopping day, got all my Christmas shopping finished.


Last worn: heart earrings, star print foil tee, heart charm necklacerust ruffle skirt, New Balance sneakers, green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wear: star print foil tee and maxi skirt, rust ruffle skirt and denim jacket, green mini 5-zip bag with red.

Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

Wore this for another busy day with lots of rushing around. After the school drop off I took the little one on a couple of errands. We stopped at the shops and visited a friend before heading to the library. Then after school pickup, we were back at the shops again! I'd been sick that week so hadn't been able to take my eldest out to the shops earlier, and we needed to pick up a little gift for a party he was going to the next day.

I couldn't decide what to wear, when I realised I hadn't worn this striped tee in a while and I really like stripes with this ochre maxi skirt! As I had my big reusable tote for our shopping I just threw our water bottles in there and wore my little Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag to carry just the essentials. This bag was also overdue a wear having not being worn in a while! 

Surprisingly I haven't worn the bag and skirt together before, the aqua and amber are beautiful together. I liked that the silver hardware on the bag matched the silver foil stripes on the tee too.


Last worn: Tiffany diamond necklace, foil print silver stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC.

Other ways to wearfoil print silver stripe tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and knit, white Converse and printed jeans, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC with mustard.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC in third trimester.


How You Can Wear It:

Foil print tees are a nice way to change up a classic tee and skirt combo. The metallic foil makes it feel like you put a little more effort into your outfit, while still being easy to wear. Plus that little extra sparkle is so festive!

Printed Jeans, White Tees And Cardigans

Another two outfits following similar outfit formulas. White tees, printed jeans and cardigans with Rebecca Minkoff bags. Just like in Monday's post though, again I loved one outfit more than the other despite it being the same basic pieces together.


What I wore:

mustard cardigan with sass bide black chevron print jeans white tee aquamarine mini MAC bag | awayfromtheblue

mustard cardigan with Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeCotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Yellow with these chevron print jeans really pops, so cheerful and colourful. The aqua Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and turquoise necklace are an awesome extra touch of colour too. While this white tee does have a spotty texture all over I thought it might still work with the print of the jeans as it was neutral and a fairly subtle design and I'm glad I gave this a go, really liked this combination.

Wore this to work from home and take a late lunch to go cheer my child on for sports at school. The cardigan was too warm most of the day working from home but I appreciated it in the windy afternoon as I sat on the sidelines of the field for half an hour.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, turquoise stone necklace, white tee, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wearmustard cardigan and shorts, white tee and maxi skirt, chevron print skinny jeans with pink and purple, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag and magenta florals.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC and MAB Tote Comparison:






What I wore:

pink leopard print jeans with navy cardigan, white tee and plum purple mini MAB tote bag | awayfromblue

navy cardigan, pink leopard print jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
TeeAtmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum


Why I wore it:

I liked this outfit and I felt good in it, but just didn't like it as much as the one above. I'd planned a different top to wear but went with another white tee as I realised that morning I hadn't yet ironed the one I wanted to wear. With two little boys, I can never keep up with laundry! And I was going to go for a purple cardigan as well but after a particularly cold start to the morning I needed something a bit thicker and warmer so went with this navy one. Still added a little purple to my outfit with this plum Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote though, purple is so good with the pink leopard print jeans. I've worn it with them before.

Comfortable for a busy day with with school run, sports for the little one while his brother was at school then sports for both boys in the evening after school pick up. I also carried the baby bag for everyone's water bottles and post sport snacks as the mini MAB tote really just fits the essentials.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue statement necklace, plain white tee, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wearnavy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, plain white tee over maxi dress, pink leopard print jeans with black, blue Converse and striped dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote.

Perfect for pregnancypink leopard print jeans and hidden bump, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote in third trimester.



How You Can Wear It:

White tees are a wardrobe classic and always look good with printed jeans. A cardigan can add a little extra warmth for a cold spring day and a lot of extra colour.

Yellow, Aqua and Navy: Dresses and Leather Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two incredibly similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! Printed navy dresses, yellow scarves, leather jackets, leggings and Converse with my Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

What I wore:

navy stripe tee dress layered up for winter leggings converse leather jacket mustard yellow scarf aqua bag | away from blue

navy striped tee dress, leather jacket with Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram | mustard scarf, navy stripe tee dress leather jacket and aqua mini mac bag winter colourful accessories

JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl plain crinkle scarf in mustard
DressAtmos&Here navy stripe tee dress with leggings
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a fun Monday! After the school run I headed out to the local opshops with my youngest boy. Since I'd noticed the big one near us had reopened (it was one of the last to reopen after the virus restrictions) I was eager to go check it out, and a cold Monday sounded like the perfect opportunity. It is the best opshop locally for books, they have a huge range and we spent a lot of time picking our favourites to take home. Hubby and I had an appointment later that day and I was hoping some new books would keep the little one entertained for a bit during that! Of course I picked a few interesting looking ones up for myself too, since my neighbour started a virtual book club over Iso I've gotten back into the habit of reading and I'm always looking for new books to read!

I felt this navy striped tee dress with the black printed leather jacket was a bit dark, the mustard scarf and the aquamarine mini MAC bag were the perfect touches of colour with it to lighten it up! It warmed up much more than I expected and I ended up taking the leather jacket off for most of the day after the school drop off in the morning.


ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Again the same outfit formula with a navy dress, leather jacket, and aqua mini MAC bag and yellow scarf. I loved the colours of this outfit but it felt a little more impractical than the first outfit above. It was a very cold day, so cold that I ended up working from home after the school run with a big fluffy blanket over my legs to keep me warm. I realised when I went to go pick up my son and take him to his appointment in the afternoon that it has just resulted in a very wrinkled dress being covered up all day with a thick blanket! It is a very light dress, just viscose, so it wrinkles a bit more than I'd like sometimes.

I think if I'd have worn this on another day I would have liked it more - it was a fun colour combination, and I really liked all of the pieces together, but it was so cold jeans and a big cosy knit might have been better (and less likely to wrinkle!).



How You Can Wear It:

Yellow and navy go so well together! If you're layering up a navy dress for colder weather with a leather jacket and leggings, why not add a bright yellow scarf for a pop of colour? You can try introduce another bright shade with a handbag too.
