Blazers Worn 2 Ways For Magnificent 8

This quarter's Magnificent 8 theme is blazers! Which is perfect timing for me, as I've been in the office more often, and as the autumn weather has finally started to arrive in Brisbane, I've been wearing my blazers more!


What I wore:

double denim office outfit blush blazer white jeans chambray cami edie shoulder bag | awayfromblue

blush blazer with Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue | awayfromblue


Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
Top: thrifted no label chambray tie strap cami
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

My favourite way to wear a blazer is to pair it with jeans, and so I was really happy it was a cool enough morning to wear this outfit! My mum gave me these white jeans for Christmas. I'd been looking for white jeans for a while and tried on so many pairs, but when I saw these cropped Dannii Minogue ones at Target I knew I'd found the perfect pair. Mum bought me for me and I've been patiently waiting for the weather to be cool enough to wear them.

My office was on the casual end of business casual, even before the pandemic, so a bit of double denim on a weekday with this chambray cami was perfect. Especially with the blush blazer to make it just a little more formal. I really liked the lighter colours of this outfit, and how I managed to keep the white jeans clean for the whole day!


Last worn: blush blazer, chambray cami, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. It's the first time I've worn the white jeans as they were a Christmas gift, and the first time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wearblush blazer worn two ways, chambray cami and denim skirt, white Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag with fuchsia dress.

Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart pastel soft culotte shorts in floral print
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

I like blazers and shorts too, although I definitely don't get to wear that combination as often as I do with blazers and jeans, as the weather has to be just right for it. It was an overcast day and a cooler morning so I thought it was the perfect time to try this combination again! I really liked the pastel blue culotte shorts with the grey blazer. The navy tee was the perfect piece in between the similar tones, although I do wish it hadn't come partially untucked for the photos! The peach necklace, a recently thrifted find, I thought matched with the print on the culottes well, as did the dusty pink of the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag

I really liked all the colours in this outfit and the pieces together, although I was a little disappointed when I had to shed the blazer when the sun came out and the humidity rose. The blazer definitely wasn't needed for the school pick up in the afternoon!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, navy tee, printed culotte shorts, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Printed Tanks and Pencil Skirts In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

More office outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up, brightening up some neutral jersey pencil skirts with colourful printed tanks, my Rebecca Minkoff Luna blue Edie bag and some casual Converse.


What I wore:

orange blazer with grey pencil skirt colourful mixed print tank converse office outfit | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Jacket: Glassons orange jersey blazer
Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
SkirtAtmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Picked a very casual outfit for visiting one of our offices that is always extremely cold with the aircon. It was a hot heatwave day, so a light tank and a jersey pencil skirt were all I needed, but I appreciated the orange blazer in the office, and I packed a scarf in my bag too for when it got really cold in the aircon!

I felt the blazer and the navy statement earrings dressed up the casual outfit a little for another day in the office. I really liked the Luna blue Edie bag against the grey skirt an the blue in the printed tank too.

Didn't add a necklace, as I had the tassel earrings, and I felt the printed tank and orange blazer were enough of a statement on their own.

I much prefer this outfit to this one, when I wore the grey skirt and printed tank together but added a matching grey blazer. It's so much more fun with the orange!


Last worn: orange blazer, navy tassel earrings, printed tank, grey pencil skirt, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

Blouse: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
SkirtJeanswest zip detail ponte pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

First time I wore this silk tank Sheila gave me I worried about it getting stained being around little kids so much - not so many worries about that when I wore it to the office! This black pencil skirt goes with everything, but I thought that it matched particularly well with this top because of the tassels and black stripes. Again I didn't wear a necklace, I felt it would compete with the tassels on the top.

The blue Edie shoulder bag doesn't match the blue in the print, but I thought it was close enough that the bag was a good accessory with this outfit.

Wore my casual Converse with this outfit for the office - they are comfortable for a long commute and I don't want to overdress, the majority of ladies in the office are wearing their Converse too!

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.


What I wore:

magenta jeans converse grey tee dark floral purple print kimono chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

purple floral kimono with Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!


Last worn: purple floral kimono, beaded necklacedark grey tee, magenta jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie bag.

BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to weartropical floral print duster and shorts, speckled tee and maxi skirt, olive jeans and mustard cardigan, Converse and dress, Chloe Ethel bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.



How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.

Monochromatic Blue Outfits With Printed Maxi Skirts and Purple Balenciaga Work Bag

Adding a little extra colour to monochromatic blue maxi skirt and tee outfits with my big purple Balenciaga work bag. Not doing anything different from usual or carrying anything more than usual that requires such a big bag, I've just been missing wearing this so got it out for a couple days!


What I wore:

navy tee with blue tie dye maxi skirt and purple balenciaga work bag accessorising monochromatic outfit

blue outfit with Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag | away from the blue



Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt (from my sister's wardrobe)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

So pleased with this skirt! My sister had a wardrobe clear out. As we used to do when we lived together at our parents, we give each other first pic of anything we will be donating. She had so many new with tags pieces she no longer wanted, and a lot of adorable playsuits but I just can't get over the bathroom issue with playsuit and jumpsuits 😅 This maxi skirt however was definitely perfect for me!

I have a tie dye maxi dress in grey I've worn as a skirt a few times so I have lots of inspiration for how to wear this. And in fact this navy cropped tee over my grey tie dye maxi dress was one of my fave outfits with my dress, so this was such an obvious pairing. Added the turquoise tassel earrings for a little bit of matchy-matchy with the blue tie dye print. The white Converse were a comfortable choice for the school run, playground and library. And the purple Balenciaga work bag added more colour and gave plenty of space for a snack for the little one and our water bottles!


Last worn: navy cropped tee, turquoise tassel earrings, silver circle necklace, Converse, Balenciaga purple work bag. First time I've worn the tie dye maxi skirt as it's from my sister's wardrobe.

30 Outfit Ideas For a Purple Balenciaga Work Bag:





What I wore:

monochrome blue outfit with denim jacket band tee striped maxi skirt Converse and Balenciaga work bag | awayfromtheblue

navy stripe maxi skirt, Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Tee: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

I'd planned to wear my old Kisschasy band tee with this striped maxi skirt for a quiet Friday. School run, library, and a couple errands. Being a cooler autumn morning than I expected that morning though I had to quickly add another layer - this denim jacket is a wardrobe oldie and it continues the monochrome blue look with the navy striped maxi skirt and navy tassel earrings. Again the purple Balenciaga work bag added more colour even though I didn't need all that space in my bag.

We had a couple errands to run and some books that had to be returned to the library that day, before getting home to wait for a delivery as hubby was only working from home in the morning and going into the office for the rest of the day. Busy, but achievable. However I'd not known that some of the places we had to visit had changed their opening hours. I noticed when I got there and there were different times written on the door than I'd seen online the night before. Turned a busy morning into a mad scramble to get everything done and back home on time, but we achieved it. Just! 😂 And at least it warmed up a little!

After school pickup in the afternoon I was exhausted. I'd planned to change into something a little dressier for drinks with the neighbours that night but decided just to keep wearing this. Worked out well as the heat that had developed over the day stuck around and the jeans outfit I'd planned would have been too warm. Ended up feeling really comfortable in this.

How You Can Wear It 

A monochrome blue outfit is easy to do when you have as many different shades of blue in your wardrobe as I do! But this outfit formula of printed skirt and tee in the same colour family will work no matter what your favourite colour is.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Grey Tees, Blue Maxis And Blush Rebecca Minkoff Darren Messenger Bag

For today's weekday wear linkup, I'm sharing two outfits with my go-to pink and blue colour combination, taking blue maxis and adding grey tees and a blush pink bag. The first outfit is with a maxi dress and the second a maxi skirt.

What I wore:

spring layered maxi dress outfit grey tee knotted over navy dress pastel pink bag | awayfromblue

navy printed maxi dress with Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony | awayfromtheblue



Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest 'Lucy' colour block tee in grey marle/rosebud
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very busy Friday! I wanted something simple and comfortable to wear that morning so decided to layer up this blue maxi dress with a grey tee to dress it down a little for what I anticipated to be a quiet day with the school run. Until, running late for school, I went to zip up my son's lunch bag and realised it had broken and wouldn't zip up and so wouldn't keep his food cool. Luckily managed to find a replacement one for him to use for the day, but it then meant spending far too long walking around the local Westfield shopping centre hunting for a replacement lunchbox. Of course at halfway through the last term for the year there was not a lot of choice! Luckily I managed to find one in the end, that my son approved of when I picked him up from school. Phew!

I did like this outfit - the knotted tee looked good with the navy printed maxi dress and because the tee has a pink panel on the back I decided to wear my Rebecca Minkoff peony pink Darren bag with it, even though they are different shades of pink I think they compliment nicely. Stuck with simple silver accessories to match the hardware on the bag with the silver necklace and ballet flats.





What I wore:

spring SAHM outfit with dark grey tee and pink floral print maxi skirt pastel rebecca minkoff bag | away from blue

floral print maxi skirt with Rebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony  | away from the blue


Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
Skirt: Ally Fashion blue border print floral maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
BagRebecca Minkoff small Darren messenger bag in peony (more affordable preowned!)

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit, but this time it's a grey tee with a printed blue maxi skirt. I surprisingly hadn't worn this tee and skirt together before, seems like such an obvious pairing with the neutral grey tee and the colourful floral print skirt. Again with the Rebecca Minkoff Darren messenger bag as it matches the pink florals so nicely! And I picked another necklace with silver hardware to match the bag too. I was wearing simple but comfortable sandals (not that you can see them with the skirt caught in the breeze...).

This was another day of traipsing around the shops after school drop off - although a planned one, as it happened before the day above! Haven't been to the shops in weeks and suddenly went twice in one week! I again masked up to visit a few different stores in an effort to track down a bike for my son's Christmas. Thankfully despite the bike shortages we were able to find one, and I ticked off a few more purchases off my list. Really want to be organised in advance for Christmas this year as postage can be slow as we get closer to December!



How You Can Wear It:

A grey tee is such a nice basic neutral, perfect for pairing with a printed piece in your outfit. Just like blue and grey, blue and pink go together beautifully too so a pink bag is a great way to accessorise a blue and grey outfit.

Skinny Jeans, Printed Tanks And Cardigans

Making the most of the warmer winter weather just before spring arrived, I got some of my printed tanks out when all I needed to add was a light cardigan. Wore some colourful jeans with them too.

What I wore:

green skinny jeans, grey cardigan and yellow and navy aztec print tank with silver mini mac bag and accessories | awayfromblue

green skinny jeans with Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC | away from the blue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
TankAtmos&Here 'Florida' tank in Aztec print
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Wanted to wear light and colourful layers as it was such a warm day, so this 3/4 sleeve cardigan and a printed tank were perfect. Surprisingly it's the first time I've worn this mustard tank with the green skinny jeans! I really like wearing yellow with these green jeans so I was surprised to look back on the blog and see I hadn't paired the two together before.

I was a little disappointed to see I hadn't worn this tank in over a year and a half too - it really needs to be worn more often, it's a comfortable swing style and goes with so much - last time I wore it with purple.

With the printed tank and bright green jeans I kept the accessories simple with the matching silver mini MAC bag and silver circle necklace. Just wish it had been a little warmer at the end of the day! This outfit was perfect for the school run in the morning and afternoon but I had to layer up with a thicker coat for my son's sports in the evening when it got really cold.





What I wore:

purple cardigan striped tank skull print scarf and magenta skinny jeans outfit with mini mac bag | away from blue

Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag with magenta skinny jeans  | away from the blue



Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
TankAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue (and Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag)

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! Spent the day with my sister taking her around our fave trail, enjoying the sunshine and the trees sheltering us from the worst of the wind. It was so nice to get out and treat ourselves to a takeaway lunch afterwards.

Added this light scarf to try combat the wind a little. This neon pink Alexander McQueen skull scarf is frequently worn with stripes, I really like the combination and despite it being a different shade of pink with the magenta skinny jeans I think they worked well together. Surprisingly I haven't worn this scarf at all this winter! I have been living in loungewear since we go out so little though, hubby and I share the school runs so I don't go out every day.

Keeping up with all the colour I added my purple cardigan and blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. I did say I'd be wearing this cardigan and these jeans together again last time I wore them - the purple is such a nice shade with the magenta!

As you can see I swapped to my Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag to carry all the water bottles and some snacks on our little hike, but I wore the mini MAC bag for the school run and a quick Kmart shop in the afternoon.


Last worn: purple cardigan, pink and cream skull scarf, black and white stripe tank, magenta skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC, Rebecca Minkoff Julian.



How You Can Wear It:

A printed tank is a great combination with a pair of colourful jeans. You can add a light cardigan or scarf if it's a little cooler. Either stick with neutrals to balance out a colourful tank and jeans combo like I have in the first outfit with the grey cardigan, or layer up even more colour like I have in the second outfit with the pink scarf and purple cardigan.

Red And Blue Winter Jeans Outfits With Striped Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

Red and blue is a colour combination that's a frequent go-to for me. In winter it makes layering easy! I added touches of red to these black tee and jeans outfits with a red item of clothing and a little red striped bag, and then a blue scarf for extra warmth and colour. Simple, colourful and quick outfits to pull together for the school run!

What I wore:

moncohrome black tee grey skinny jeans converse outfit with red cardigan striped bag cobalt scarf | away from blue

Rebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe with red cardigan | away from the blue


Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Tee: Atmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe

Why I wore it:

Jeans and a tee has been a staple outfit for me lately! I thought I'd give these skinny jeans a wear, as I hadn't worn them yet this winter. With the black tee it was a bit of a dull monochrome outfit so I added extra colours with my layers. This red waterfall cardigan was a nice compliment with the red striped Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and I really like how the red works with the cobalt blue of the scarf! It's a fun combination.

Wore this for the school run and a few errands. It was a bit chilly in the morning but had warmed up a lot by the afternoon, I contemplated taking my scarf off a few times.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, Marc Jacobs cobalt scarf, black v-neck tee, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff berry stripe mini MAC.

Rebecca Minkoff Canvas vs Leather Mini MAC Comparison:





What I wore:



double denim jacket with red skinny jeans navy star print scarf striped bag | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe with red skinny jeans | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Target Simone woven scarf in navy foil stars
Tee: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff striped coated canvas mini MAC in berry stripe

Why I wore it:

Again, a black tee outfit with jeans, a touch of red and a blue scarf. I like pairing this denim jacket with the red skinny jeans - two completely different colours of denim is my fave way to do double denim! These jeans will be featuring in a 30 wears post soon too, as I've now worn them 30 times!

This scarf was definitely overdue a wear - it still had the tags on from when I got it for Christmas! So wrong that it hasn't been worn yet, it's beautiful. As I had the denim jacket on top keeping me warm I didn't need an overly thick scarf and this navy one with silver foil stars was perfect! I liked the way the navy went with the red jeans and black tee too.

I think the stars and stripes were far enough apart that this didn't look like an American 4th July outfit either! Had a busy morning after the school run, looking for the finishing touches for a costume for my son at the nearest Westfield. I haven't been in a shopping centre for a few months, although I know it's been open through iso. I felt a bit uncomfortable with everyone getting so close and not distancing, but thankfully we quickly found what I needed and didn't spend a lot of time there!


How You Can Wear It:
Red and blue is a colour combination that really works, no matter what shade of blue you wear. The red cardigan looks great with the cobalt blue scarf, and the red skinny jeans work with the pale blue denim jacket as well as the navy scarf.
