Black And Pink Outfits With Converse, Printed Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

Continuing to layer up my jeans for winter in Brisbane, with these printed skinny jeans and Converse outfits. While they both look different, both are made up of black and pink (with a little blue and navy in the first outfit too).


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest navy suede moto zip jacket
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank (new purchase)
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Nice and colourful for a Monday morning school run and working from home! I often wear these pink leopard print skinny jeans with black, so it made sense to pair my new textured linen top with them. Being black you can't really see the texture in the photos sadly, but it is a great staple tank and it's sure to get a lot of wear as it layers up so well for our cooler weather. I added the suede jacket on top too, to keep me cosy. First time I've gotten it out this year, after getting it for Christmas. Being suede I was a little hesitant to take it out for the first time, but so far so good, worn it a few times and no damage to it, it's not as delicate as I thought!

Added a little extra colour to this outfit with the blue Converse, and the big Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag because I've hardly stopped using it since I thrifted it. Being a really dark deep navy I felt it worked well with the black tank and the navy suede jacket.


Last worn: heart charm necklace, pink leopard print jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid. First time I've worn the suede jacket on the blog as it was a Christmas present, and first time I've worn the linen tank as it was a recent purchase.

What I wore:




Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Cami: thrifted Kmart dusty rose cami
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

These chevron print Sass and Bide jeans are another pair I have worn a lot of black with, so the cosy black cocoon cardigan was a good choice to make this spaghetti strap cami a little more weather appropriate for a winter kids birthday party. I've tried a few different prints with these jeans over the time I've owned them but I really think plain block colours, like in this outfit, work so much better with them. I was really comfortable in this outfit.

I did add the red dinosaur skeleton earrings for a little pop of colour but they are a bit hard to see! Again I went with Converse, as we had a bit of driving to get to the party, it was at an indoor play area we hadn't been too before. Such a fun party though! The Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag was stuffed to the brim with my usual minimal essentials, and then some bottles of water for us.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, dinosaur earrings, feather necklace, pink cami, chevron print jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

30 Ways To Wear: Sass and Bide Chevron Print Playman Skinny Jeans

These Sass and Bide Playman skinny jeans have such a fun print! Sometimes the bold chevron can seem a little tricky to wear. While I don't quite love every one of the 32 outfits I've worn with them, I've really been reaching for them a lot more often this past year as I feel I'm finding the best ways to style them recently. It's great to be able to put this 30 ways to wear post together and share just how versatile printed jeans can be - you can definitely rewear them over and over!


30 Ways To Wear: Sass & Bide Chevron Print Skinny Jeans


30 ways to wear black and grey chevron print skinny jeans Sass Bide Playman skinnies | away from the blue blog


Cost Per Wear

I bought these in June 2016, a second hand buy on eBay. Just $28.50, including postage. Not a bad price for Sass and Bide jeans, and at 32 wears that's just 95 cents a wear so far. I think perhaps the original seller had a few of the same "what do I wear these with" struggles I did in the early years! I've tried print mixing now and then, but over time I've realised if I keep it simple and stick to basic block colour pieces with these jeans I really love them in my outfits. 

It's taken me 5 years to get over 30 wears with these jeans. They are certainly not just "throw on and go" jeans, and do require a little more thought before I wear them. But they are so fun, and I still have so many outfit ideas for these. They are definitely keepers in my wardrobe even if it took me a couple years to recognise just how versatile they could be! Particularly this current year. I felt like they were on frequent repeat, as I stuck with the "pair solids with prints" rule to build outfits I loved.

Since I  have such a range of outfits with these jeans I've tried to split up the outfits into go-to outfit formulas as well as some easy colour pairings, in case you have a similar pair of grey and black printed jeans you're trying to find outfit inspiration for.


Chevron Print Jeans With Blue and Green


blue and green outfit ideas with chevron print sass bide jeans | awayfromtheblue

Blue is my favourite colour and of course I think it goes with everything! I am slowly warming up to green and trying to wear more of it in my wardrobe. With the neutral black and grey chevron print of the jeans a bright blue, teal, or even mint top works well against the print.


Colourful Cardigans and Chevron Print Skinny Jeans


Colourful cardigans with black and grey printed skinny jeans outfit ideas | awayfromblue

Just like the colourful blue and green outfits above, these follow a similar outfit formula. This time, the bright block colour is the cardigan though! While I really like the bold combination of red with the black and grey, you'll see I wear quite a lot of pink and purple with these jeans too!



Neutral Layers With Black and Grey Chevron Jeans


neutral layers to chevron print skinny jeans outfits | awayfromtheblue

A failsafe "I'm not sure what to wear with a bold printed piece" choice is neutrals! And while I can never seem to nail a completely monochromatic outfit as I always add in a little extra colour - these jeans look so good with neutral blacks and greys, echoing the colours in the print.



Citrus Brights With Chevron Print Jeans


4 ways to wear chevron print skinny jeans with citrus brights yellow and orange | awayfromtheblue

Another much more colourful set of outfits! Similar to the blues and greens I first shared, I find different shades of citrus brights work well with these jeans - from a bright mustard yellow, a more pastel peach, a mango yellow or a bold bright orange, the colours really pop against the denim! I think that the grey chevron print on these jeans helps stop an orange and black combo from looking too Halloween-y as well.


Double Denim Outfits With Printed Jeans


double denim outfit ideas with sass bide printed skinny jeans | awayfromblue

My usual method for waring double denim is to keep it safe and stick to completely different shades - so blue denim jackets (and even my white one) work well with these printed jeans! It's good to stick a bright top in between too for even more contrast between the different shades of denim.


Bright Accessories With Chevron Print Jeans


outfit ideas for chevron print jeans with bright accessories | awayfromblue

Maybe bright tops and cardigans are a little too bold for you to try with some statement printed jeans like these. So why not introduce a smaller amount of colour with a scarf or bag? Or both - as I've done in the first and third outfits with the matchy-matchy scarf and bag. Of course if you're loving all the colour, you could try a bright cardigan and a bright scarf together like that outfit at the end there.


Leather Jackets With Black and White Printed Jeans

These jeans are so easy to layer up in winter - printed jeans and a leather jacket is a staple outfit for a cold day! You don't have to stick to black jackets either - a colourful one like that cobalt blue works well too.



Pink And Purple Outfits With Chevron Print Jeans


pink and purple outfit ideas with chevron print playman skinny jeans awayfromblue

These outfits are really combinations of everything above! Bright accessories, tops or colourful cardigans, in pink or purple, or sometimes both. I love pink and purple with these jeans, and with the neutral colour scheme of the grey chevron on the black jeans means you can easily wear more than one colour with them. And pink and purple go together so well!

Orange Tees, Black Denim And Blue Julian Backpack

Some much cooler spring days last month meant layering up my jeans and tee outfits a little more with a light jacket and cardigan, in outfits I had a hard time getting a good photo of!

What I wore:

orange leopard print tee with black nobody denim skinny jeans light jacket julian backpack | awayfromblue

black jacket with Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted black Emerson drawstring waist utility jacket
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

I feel this outfit looks quite unimpressive in the pics but I really loved it! I'm not sure why I don't wear this neon orange leopard print tee more often, it's just so fun! And I felt it really popped with all the black, but that the leopard print stopped it looking like a Halloween-y combination.

Despite my frown in the photos (the sun came out from behind the clouds just as I started clicking and I pulled this face in every photo!) I was really happy and comfortable in this most of the morning, until the wind picked up and I started to feel the cold, even after unbuttoning and rolling down the sleeves on this jacket. I was regretting not wearing a jacket or thicker cardigan by then. Thankfully we only had a couple hours at the park before heading off to do a free craft activity with the kids in a shopping centre where I was back to appreciating this light jacket again, and rolling up the sleeves! Definitely swapped out the jacket for sitting on the sidelines at sports that evening though for something a little warmer.

For simplicity and for ease walking around the park and playground I wore my Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack - it fits hats and water bottles and snacks for us all easily.


Last worn: black lightweight jacket, heart necklace, neon leopard print tee, black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack.

Other ways to wearblack lightweight jacket and stripes, neon leopard print tee and light jeans, black skinny jeans and blazer, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack and shorts.



What's Inside My Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack






What I wore:

grey cardigan with pastel peach tee chevron print sass bide playman jeans sneakers | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tee: Asos peach pastel orange v-neck tee from my sister's wardrobe
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

As you can see from the pics, this was quite a breezy day! I was glad I'd worn a cardigan on this day! Again it ended up being an orange and black combination, with the chevron print jeans and this peach tee I scored from my sister's wardrobe clear out. I liked this outfit, but looking at the photos I'm not sure the tee is the best colour on me. I'll keep it around and try it out in a few more outfits before I decide.

Wore the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack again as we had a little hike with the kids around a local trail, and this was the most comfortable way to carry all our snacks and water bottles. Our plan for the day was to get out early, so we could be back home before the predicted rain set in for the next few days. Thankfully the rain never turned up but it made me feel a little bad we hadn't planned more things to do outdoors for the day. The kids were happy at home playing board games in the afternoon though.


Last worn: grey cardigan, turquoise necklace, Sass and Bide printed jeans, New Balance sneakers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack (above). First time I've worn the tee as I gained it from my sister's wardrobe clear out.

How You Can Wear It:


Orange and black isn't just a Halloween colour combination! Try adding some prints, greys, or a bright accessory in a contrasting colour like I have with this bright blue backpack to make it suitable for other days of the year.

Bright Tees, Printed Jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love Bag

Two simple but colourful jeans and tee outfits I wore for spring, with my big cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Love bag, printed jeans, and bright v-neck tees. Easy mum life outfits!


What I wore:

pink leopard print jeans with purple tee, cobalt jumbo Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag and Converse | awayfromtheblue

pink and purple outfit with Rebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt | awayfromblue


NecklaceZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! After the school run the little one and I stopped off at the playground for a run around, then it was on to the library. We were about to head home before they said they had a babies books and rhymes session and asked if we and another family wanted to join, and they would make it more of a toddler session. It's something I used to do a lot with the kids when they were younger, so we stayed a little longer for it. I was happy I remembered some of the nursery rhymes to sing along to, ha! I think the little one liked it too, lots of giggles. After that it was home for lunch, a quick appointment then the school pick up and sports in the evening.

I loved the blue, purple and pink in this outfit. I don't wear these leopard print jeans as much as I used to but they do tend to make an appearance or two every spring, they are really fun! I was so sure I'd worn this purple tee with them before but was surprised to look through my blog archives and see that I hadn't. Pink, blue and purple is a trio I love so the cobalt Rebecca Minkoff jumbo love bag was a great accessory with the colourful outfit.

ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

Another bright outfit! I feel this orange tee always photographs a bit more neon than it really is - it doesn't seem as in-your-face in person! It was the perfect tee to wear to go along to another sports event at school and surprise my son. With the printed jeans and orange tee he had no trouble spotting me on the sidelines! I picked the jumbo Love bag to wear again as I needed a bag to fit both my essentials and my camera to take pics of him having fun on the day.

The one thing I did change about this outfit was adding a cardigan. It was a little breezy when I went out to take pics and hadn't settled down when I left so I grabbed a cardigan before I went out the door, and so didn't add sunscreen to my arms. Quickly realised that standing in the shade free sidelines a cardigan wasn't needed though, and sadly paid the price with some sunburnt arms! That explains the slight pinkness in the outfit above, which I wore the day after.

I had time for a quick little shop to pick up some Christmas presents and lunch before picking up my little one early and taking him to a special doctor's appointment. He'd been on the waitlist for a while and the appointment kept getting rescheduled with lockdowns and unavailable doctors and things so when they had a cancellation I took it! Such good timing for us as I'd taken the day off to watch my son compete and wouldn't have been able to take it otherwise.


Last worn: mango tee, tassel necklace, chevron print skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:
Printed jeans are a fun choice over traditional blue denim, and they are easy to wear with a plain v-neck tee. You can try wearing a bright tee to add even more colour to your outfit.

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.

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.

Purple and Prints: Jeans and Tee Outfits With Cardigans and Magenta Bags

Two kind of similar jeans and tee outfits I wore recently with prints, purple, cardigans, and magenta bags.


What I wore:

Sass Bide printed skinny jeans with grey cardigan lilac tee and magenta marc by marc jacobs bag | awayfromblue

grey cardigan and Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet  | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
Jeans:  Sass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap


Why I wore it:

Not entirely sure that this outfit worked. I love all the pieces separately, but together I just wasn't feeling it. I wanted this purple tee to bring a bit of colour for a zoom call I had that day, and the cardigan was a good choice for both the school run and being comfortable while working from home.

I'd thought about wearing a statement necklace or pair of earrings the night before but hadn't actually decided what I'd go with. I ran out of time trying a couple options that morning so settled on classic silver with this Tiffany heart necklace and the silver dangly leaf earrings. The earrings feel a bit dressy for such a casual outfit, but they worked well to make me feel pulled together for my long zoom call during the day. I did however take them off for the school run - with mask rules in place in Brisbane meaning I need to wear masks indoors and when dropping off or picking up the kids. It's easier to take masks off and on without statement earrings like this!

I thought this Marc By Marc Jacobs bag would be nice as I really didn't have to carry much - just the essentials, and it has a main compartment for my wallet and phone, a pocket for car keys, a pocket for hand sanitiser and a front pocket for my mask! Perfect. I really like how it looks with the lilac tee too.

Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

I liked the colours of the outfit above, so repeated it again a couple of days later. And repeated the Converse too! This time I wore the Rebecca Minkoff Edie crossbody bag in magenta, purple jeans and a printed top. I noticed this old grey leopard print tee in my wardrobe and realised it was overdue a wear! It was a bargain $2 sale find in winter 2019, but this is only it's fifth wear since I bought it. Not bad at 40 cents a wear, but I really should wear it more. I thought the grey leopard print looked good with the navy cardigan and purple jeans.

Tried a little necklace layering too with the round neck letting me pair two shorter silver necklaces together, instead of a big long statement necklace as I'd usually wear. Not a huge difference but nice to try a little departure from my regular accessorising!

Was a quiet day so this was a really comfortable outfit for it - school run in the morning, some errands and an appointment with the little one afterwards, and our regular library run too.

How You Can Wear It

Pink and purple look good together! A magenta or pink bag can be a fun accessory worn with something purple in your outfit - from a light lilac to deeper purple shades.

Camis, Skinny Jeans and Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo Love Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, wearing a bunch of new things! Two new spring cami tops my mum bought me back in the H&M winter sales, with jeans and my new-to-me Rebecca Minkoff jumbo Love bag.

Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

So happy this day arrived - vaccination day! I'd been on the waitlist at Queensland health for over 9 weeks waiting for under 40s to be eligible, and for the vaccines to finally arrive in Australia. When I got that email that I was eligible to book a vaccine I was so pleased! In fact as this post goes live I've already got my second Pfizer dose. (Or Pfiiizer if you're a fan of Jimmy Rees like I am!)

You can register here if you're in Queensland to get your vaccine via Qld Health: https://www.vaccinebookings.health.qld.gov.au/registerforvaccination/. Or try hotdoc for a GP vaccine appointment, or your local pharmacy.

Because it was such a nice day we decided to make the most of it. I was booked into the Southbank hub so hubby took the kids to the playground while I got my shot and then we met up and had a wander around the museum after. Was such a good day!

Thought it was the perfect chance to wear this cute floral print cami that mum picked up for me in the H&M winter sale - just $5! I couldn't quite figure out the tie though, better luck next time maybe! I added the kimono for a little shoulder coverage in the sun and because it was easy to drop down for the vaccine.

First wearing of the Rebecca Minkoff Jumbo bag too, perfect for fitting all my essentials and my water bottle inside.


Last worn: earrings, crochet trim kimono, diamond necklace, heart necklace, grey skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers. First time I've worn the floral knot front cami as it is a recent gift from my mum, and first time I've worn the Rebecca Minkoff cobalt jumbo Love bag as it is a recent purchase.

BagRebecca Minkoff quilted jumbo Love bag in cobalt


Why I wore it:

Another new cami! I like this one as the cami as I don't have a lot of mint in my wardrobe and it's made with 55% recycled plastic. I'd been talking to a lady the night before who mentioned that some recycled fabrics aren't very breathable or comfortable so I was a little concerned. Luckily because this is a loose cami, it was a delight to wear! As I've given more than a few of the kids ruined, torn or stained clothes to the H&M recycling program I like the idea that I might be wearing some of those recycled fabrics, although I know it's unlikely.

This felt a little dressed up for the school run, sports for the kids and a playdate, but it was nice for a change - I've only worn this necklace to the office before. I wore my old fave black ballet flats as once I added the necklace to this outfit, I knew my Converse would just be too casual!

The only thing I didn't like about this outfit is that the cami looks a bit long in the pics, petite girl problems! Maybe I should have tucked it into the jeans, but I still loved wearing this though.


How You Can Wear It:

Spring means light coverups instead of full jackets, and bringing out the spaghetti strap tops like these cute camis. You can't go wrong with jeans either!
