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.

Green and Yellow Worn Two Ways: Jeans and Tee | Weekday Wear Link Up

Jeans and and a tee again! It was my home isolation outfit of choice back when I wanted to get out of pyjamas or loungewear, but also didn't want to put in too much effort if I wasn't going anywhere.

This time I round I paired my yellow tees with green jeans and some cardigans, as the autumn weather had truly arrived in Brisbane and the extra layer was needed. Now it's properly winter and a few more layers are required.

What I wore:

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this yellow tee with olive - it looked nice with my olive shorts so I knew I'd wear it with these olive jeans in the cooler weather. I really liked the combination, i think the muted shades work so well together. I added a necklace for a little bit of extra interest to my outfit and I think with the long necklace and long grey cardigan the tee looked better untucked - it's a bit oversized so I usually tuck it in, but I liked the longer lines of this outfit.

The grey cardigan wasn't quite as cosy as my daggy old bathrobe I usually wear around the house, but it was a more formal choice for a couple of zoom sessions I had on that day!


Last worn: yellow tee, tortoiseshell necklace, grey cardigan, olive skinny jeans, Havaianas.

Other ways to wear: yellow tee and red maxi skirt, grey cardigan and maxi skirt, olive skinny jeans for a long haul flight.

How I Clean My Bags:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: New Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

This was a much bolder outfit with the mustard tee and the green skinny jeans. Again, this isn't a new colour combination for me, I love wearing my little mustard Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag with these green jeans, but it was the first time I'd worn this mustard tee and jeans together. As it was such a cold morning and I had to pop out to the post office, I added another colour to my outfit with this cosy navy cardigan.

Again, I've worn this navy cardigan with the green jeans before, but I really liked the way the trio of colours worked together in this outfit. Especially with the matching navy necklace! The Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere bag was a nice neutral with all of the colours in my outfit, and it was still packed and ready to go after my last trip out the house a few days before.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, mustard tee, statement necklace, green skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, mustard tee worn two ways, green skinny jeans and floral kimono, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A yellow tee is a fun colour to have in your wardrobe! Yellow is a bright pop with a neutral pair of blue jeans but it works well with other colours like green and navy too.

Wearing Summer Tanks In Winter With Colourful Scarves and Cosy Cardigans

One way to get the most from the pieces in your wardrobe is to wear them out of season. I've posted many times about how I keep the majority of my summer pieces in my wardrobe year round. When winter arrives, I still find ways to wear my summer tanks, just as like below with jeans and cardigans. There's no reason you can't wear florals in winter!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tank: no label floral and lace top
Jeans: Jeanswest 'shale' super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum

Why I wore it:

Usually, I plan my outfits the night before. Sometimes I have a vague idea of what I want to wear, and fill in the gaps when I get up in the morning. I knew I wanted to wear this floral tank and jeans together with my cosy navy cardigan, I thought the neutral navy would look great with the purple toned jeans and the cream floral print tank. The scarf and handbag were completely last minute choices, but I think they really pulled the outfit together. I loved this outfit. This scarf always makes me happy when I wear it, a definite keeper.

This outfit was casual and comfortable for playgroup and then running a couple of errands with the boys. And since it wasn't as cold outside as it was last time, I felt suitably dressed to sit and chat with the other mums as I watched the kids run around and play outside.


Last worn: navy cardigan, purple scarf, floral tank, skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: navy cardigan in the office, purple scarf and chambray dress, floral tank and maxi skirt, skinny jeans and printed shirt, Converse for travel, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral tank in second trimester, skinny jeans and hidden second trimester bump, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and maternity maxi dress.

Cosy scarves are a winter essential! Here's my complete scarf collection:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan
Scarf: Forever New skye foil feather scarf in berry / gold (on sale!)
Tank: Jeanswest Elissa leaf print tank
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This is one of those outfits that didn't seem to photograph well. While I don't think it looks like much in the photos I loved this outfit - all of the loose slouchy layers were perfect for a quiet Saturday. We spent most of the day at home, and then went round to my friend's house in the evening to watch the Church Online service together. I was worried it was going to be a chilly night, so I layered up. I was so warm for most of the night though, it definitely wasn't as cold as I expected it to be. We had a chilly start to winter, but it's back to being more average temperatures now.

The same outfit formula as the one above - skinny jeans, a summer tank layered out with a cosy cardigan, and a big scarf. I wasn't sure what scarf to wear with this - the leaf print on the tank has pink, peach, red and blue in it. In the end, I went with this burgundy and gold scarf. While it doesn't match the colours in the tank at all, I thought the foil feathers were similar enough to the leaves on the tank that it all worked well together. I threw the scarf on like this to try it out and I liked it so much I didn't wrap it around my neck like I usually do. Seemed to look better this way with the long cardigan.


Last worn: wool maxi cardigan, feather foil scarf, leaf print tank, Jeanswest prima skinny jeans, tan boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.

Other ways to wear: wool maxi cardigan and printed jeans, feather foil scarf and little black dress, leaf print tank worn two ways, Jeanswest prima skinny jeans and kimono, tan boots and shift dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and printed shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Jeanswest prima skinny jeans in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag ins econd trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Summer pieces can easily be worn into winter with the right layers. Jeans, cardigans, scarves and even ankle boots are a nice way to make a lighter piece winter weather appropriate.

Printed Jeans and Colourful Cardigans

Layering up some printed jeans for winter and adding a little colour with tonal tee and cardigan pairings. With all that colour I wore my latest neutral handbag purchase, the Chloe small Ethel in light khaki. Comfortable and colourful for some vet visits for Cooper. He's really been a frequent patient this year unfortunately!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dana drape knit cardi in boysenberry
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Jeans: Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This may be my favourite outfit ever with these Sass and Bide chevron print jeans. I've worn them with pink before, and with this purple cardigan before. The black Converse are a staple shoe choice with them. But this combination of all 3 pieces (and that great neutral Chloe Ethel bag) I really loved.

I wasn't sure at first if this pink tee would work with this purple cardigan but I thought if it did work it would be a nice tonal combo, and I'm so glad I gave this a wear! I'd planned the outfit the week before but it turned out to be the perfect thing to wear for another day in lockdown. Instead of the school run and some time at the playground as planned, it was taking Cooper to the vets for an operation and a brief visit to the doctors. The cheerful colours really helped boost my mood! Thankfully Cooper is home recovering well from his operation. I'm so glad the vets were still able to see him even in lockdown.

Pink and purple are a combination I've always enjoyed, and I've worn this pink tee with a different purple cardigan before, and this cardigan with other pink pieces, but this reminds me I need to try wearing the combination more!

Last worn: waterfall cardigan, beaded necklace, pink tee, chevron print jeans, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, pink tee and culottes, chevron print jeans and double denim, Converse and pencil skirt, Chloe small Ethel bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: waterfall cardigan in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

Unboxing: Chloe Ethel Handbag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

This bright and colourful outfit was again planned in advance. I felt it had been a while since I had gotten these pink leopard print jeans out, and a quiet Friday before the lockdown with not much planned other than the school run seemed like a good time to give them another wear. With the bright pink I thought the neutral navy cardigan and pastel blue tee would be another good tonal combo. Like the pink and purple above, pink and blue is another combination I really enjoy wearing. The Converse were another way to add even more blue to this outfit. And again, a good neutral bag with all that colour, the small Chloe Ethel.

After snoozing my alarm a couple time I finally got up and ready for the day and came downstairs to find the wrapper for a bar of chocolate on the floor, all torn open. Not the best start to the day when I picked it up confused and noticed the bite marks on it - Cooper had at some point in the night helped himself to a bar of dark chocolate. One panicked call to the emergency vet later, and a few tears when she ran the calculations for a tiny Shih Tzu of his weight and the amount of (toxic to dogs) dark chocolate he consumed, we rushed him off so they could remove it from his stomach. 

Thankfully he lived to tell the tale, and oddly enjoyed his charcoal medicated food for a few days. And all chocolate is now out of his reach! It seems like an bizarrely upbeat and cheerful outfit for such a stressful day, but I had no idea what I was going to stumble across that morning. Thank goodness he did leave the wrapper in such an obvious place and this had a happy ending!

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue v-neck tee, gold and navy beaded necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, blue v-neck tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans with black, Converse and tee dress, Chloe small Ethel bag with black and red.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink leopard print jeans and hidden bump.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed jeans look great with basic block colour pieces like tees and cardigans. An ideal way to layer up in winter is to pick tonal colours from the same family for a monochromatic outfit that works with any print!

Blue Tops, Pink Scarves, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different blue and pink outfits with skinny jeans and cosy cardigans. Both outfits feature a scarf for a bright pop of pink.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

I threw this top on after it was delivered the day before - probably should have ironed it, can still see those new from packet creases, ha! But it was the perfect block colour piece to wear with this fun leopard print cardigan, and super comfortable with the grey jeans. I was just working from home and doing the school run, but added a little warmth and colour with the pink ombre scarf that I thrifted recently.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, pink ombre scarf, blue tank, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wear: leopard print cardigan and pink jeans, pink ombre scarf with black and white outfit, blue tank with green, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and printed jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans:  thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue

Why I wore it:

With the navy tee, navy cardigan and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a bit of a darker outfit than the one above. I thought that the pink and white Alexander McQueen skull scarf was a nice way to lighten up the outfit a little with that pop of pink and the white background. Again I went with my Converse sneakers and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that has been a firm go-to for me since I thrifted it recently. Nice and easy jeans and tee outfit for my sons playdate.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, navy tee, pink skull scarf, black skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan worn 30 ways, navy tee and denim skirt, pink skull scarf and stripes, black skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and maxi dress.

Winter Stripes, Jeans, Tee and Scarves Outfits

Some uncharacteristically muted outfits, after the past few posts of bold and colourful winter layers! Muted tones and neutrals all just layer so well for winter though. And it was a very cold couple of days in Brisbane! Both of these outfits feature jeans and a tee, with a cosy scarf and some stripes.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! My eldest son had a playdate at his friends house with his best mates while my youngest son and I spent time with my mum and sister. We didn't have a lot planned for the day, just went out to a few of the school holiday activities that the local shopping centres had organised, while ticking off a few errands. It was more the company that made it fun! My family stayed over for dinner too which was really nice, so my eldest could have some time with them after my friend dropped him back from his playdate.

It was a very uncharacteristically cold day so I wanted all the layers - this navy waterfall cardigan looks good with the pink tee, and the black and white printed scarf adds a bit of extra interest and print to the outfit too while keeping me warm. The faded black jeans and black New Balance sneakers were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the black stripes on the scarf too. The Chloe Periwinkle small Paraty bag doesn't really match any of my outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the muted colours and I can easily fit a snack and water bottle in this as well as my essentials for the day.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, striped scarf, pink tee, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, striped scarf and yellow, pink tee and shorts, faded black jeans and blazer, Chloe Paraty bag and sundress.

Chloe Small Paraty Review:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Kmart striped maxi cardigan
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl navy and pink cheetah print scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Another outfit with all the layers - although this thin striped duster wasn't as warm as the thick waterfall cardigan I wore above, it was a day where I wasn't outside as much. We had another school holiday playdate at home in the morning, and then a trip to the library in the afternoon. It was quite nice sitting in the sun in the backyard in the morning, especially after the frantic tidying up the house we did before our friends came over had me feeling warm! Although in the afternoon at the library I wished I'd maybe worn a cardigan instead of this duster, or a long sleeved tee underneath as it was a bit windy.

I wasn't sure what scarf to wear with this - with the deep purple tee and black and white stripes and grey skinny jeans I thought about a brighter colour, but in the end I went with this leopard print one that is quickly becoming my go-to scarf for winter! I really like stripes and leopard print together.


Last worn: striped maxi cardigan, leopard print scarf, deep purple tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped maxi cardigan over a dress, leopard print scarf and purple cardigan, deep purple tee over a maxi dress, grey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and denim skirt, Chloe Paraty bag and shorts. 

Perfect for pregnancy: deep purple tee in second trimester, Converse in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Printed scarves are a great addition to jeans and tee outfits in winter! You can print mix with them like I have in the second outfit, or let them be the only printed statement in your outfit like I have in the first photos.

Floral Print Dresses with Rebecca Minkoff Love Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing some fun floral print dresses I tried a little something different with, with mixed results.

What I wore:

Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: Atmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral

Why I wore it:

I wasn't sure how this little peachy Rebecca Minkoff small love bag would work with the Kmart teal floral midi dress, but thought it might be a fun combination. Turns out I love orange and green together, I think the little peach bag was the perfect pop against the teal and white floral print! So glad I gave this a go.

Only needed a tiny little bag as I wore this for a night out. It was really fun! A local mum setup a Facebook group where we can attend events with other local mums, and with no Covid cases around in Brisbane at the time I decided to go along to an event. It was a really good night. Good company, good food, and I even won a lucky door prize with a tee from a local company. Looking forward to attending another event next month too!

These tan ankle boots go with so much and I really like wearing them with this dress. Because they have the tiniest heel they weren't worn much over winter as I try to stick with supportive shoes for my knee injury, but on a night with a lot of sitting around they were perfect.

Last worn: teal floral midi dress, diamond necklace, personalised circle necklace, tan ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff pale coral small love bag.

Other ways to wear: teal floral midi dress worn two ways, tan ankle boots and swing dress, Rebecca Minkoff pale coral small love bag and magenta kimono.

How To Wear Bright Bags:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn these white chunky sneakers with this cute green floral tee dress, I really like the combination! And I've worn cardigans with it in the past too, but it's the first time I've tried this long navy waterfall cardigan with the dress. Not entirely sure it worked, but it did keep me warmer than the denim jacket I'd planned to wear would have! It was a cold start to a busy morning so I changed to this cardigan before we left and while it wasn't needed when the day heated up I appreciated it in the morning. We had the school run, and appointment for the little one in the city, and sports class for him again before school pickup time.

I thought this cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag would be nice with the green on the dress, and I liked it with the navy cardigan too. Nice and colourful for spring! I think either a different cardigan or less chunky sneakers would have made this outfit a little better though, although I did like the colours together!

Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, long circle necklace, tropical floral print tee dress, chunky sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, tropical floral print tee dress and winter layers, chunky sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: tropical floral print tee dress in second trimester.

---

How You Can Wear It:

A brightly coloured bag can be a fun pop of colour with a green floral print dress. Green and blue always work well together in any shades, and peach or orange is an unexpected but cute combination that really works.
