Winter Maxi Skirts, Knits and Red Saddle Bag

I love my maxi skirts, even in winter. An easy way to make them winter-appropriate is by adding a cosy knit jumper. My bright handbags are another thing I wear often in winter too, I don't think you need to reserve brighter bags for summer wear.

What I wore:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf

Jumper: Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in blue!)

Why I wore it:

I decided to wear this knit because as I said in my previous post, I'm trying to wear through more of my winter things before the cold weather disappears. I thought this jumper would look nice in a monochrome outfit with my chambray maxi skirt.

It was a very cold day when I wore this to playgroup though. As we'd have to be outside, I added a few extra layers. A long sleeve top under my jumper, and some leggings under my maxi skirt. The chambray isn't the thickest material to keep me cosy in winter, but the leggings underneath worked perfectly for our time spent at the playground outside.

I've worn red and blue together before and liked the combo, so the red skull scarf and saddle bag seemed like a nice touch with all of the blue.


Last worn: cobalt marle knit, red skull scarf, chambray maxi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt marle knit and pencil skirt, red skull scarf and striped dress, chambray maxi skirt in summer, Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and printed kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: red skull scarf in second trimester, Converse and maternity denim shorts.

Colourful Knits Under $50:

What I wore:

Jumper: Wildfox Couture rainbow dreamer Lennon distressed knit (from my bestie's wardrobe)

Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

First time I wore this knit I didn't manage to get a blog photo, although I did share a pic on my insta stories. My friend very generously let me have this Wildfox Couture jumper when she had a wardrobe clearout last year. It took a while for the weather to be cool enough to wear it again.

It's a very comfy knit, and it's got a lot of distressing on it. So much so that when I shared it on Insta stories people asked if Cooper had gotten to it, ha! The first time around I found that the rips were a little inconvenient with a toddler, he kept grabbing at them.

This time around I rolled up the sleeves and tucked the jumper in a little to keep the distressing out of the way, and found it a lot more kid-friendly. I wore this to work from home and do the daycare drop off/pickup so it limited the amount of time the boys could tug on it too 😂

Will try pick a fairly kid free day for the next time I wear this jumper too. It's too cosy and pretty to leave in a box until next winter when the boys are bigger and less grabby.


Last worn: striped maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag (above). First time I've worn this rainbow knit on the blog.

Other ways to wear: striped maxi skirt worn 30 ways, Converse and printed shirt dress, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and denim shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: stripe maxi skirt and graphic tee in third trimester, Converse for a weekend away in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts can be layered up and worn year round. You can add a colourful and cosy knit to be weather appropriate. If it's a really cold day or you plan on being outside a lot, you can add hidden layers with a long sleeve tee or even leggings underneath. I'm wearing Converse in these outfits but ankle boots are another option to keep your feet cosy.

Make these outfits work for breastfeeding by layering a breastfeeding singlet under and just lifting the jumper to feed.

Weekday Wear Link Up: Striped Dresses and Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, sharing two outfits I wore recently where I added a little extra colour to some neutral striped dresses with colourful statement necklaces. Carried all the essentials and more in this awesome Rebecca Minkoff studded unlined tote bag I got for Christmas.

What I wore:

Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklace
Dress: Target navy and white striped shift dress with frill sleeves
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! We spent some time with my mum down by the bay. The tide was in so we couldn't walk across to King Island as we have in the past, but it was perfect weather for playing in the sea! We followed up with a lovely ice cream and takeaway for lunch too, before heading home and baking some cookies in the afternoon. Was just a really nice relaxed day!

Wore my new-to-me Rebecca Minkoff unlined studded tote I got as a present. It's the best for holding all the water bottles and snacks needed for an outing! I like black and navy together too so I had no issues wearing the black tote with this navy and white striped dress. I did feel the outfit needed a little more colour though so I added this fun bright necklace, such a good accessory.


Last worn: navy striped shift dress, colourful beaded necklace, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wear: navy striped shift dress and sneakers, studded tote and maxi skirt.

What I Got For Christmas:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware

Why I wore it:

This was a busy day back at the start of January. Took some time out of the summer school holidays to complete all of those last minute essential tasks for back to school time. Took the kids out to get a few more things off the booklist as well as buying new school shoes. A bit of an expensive day! It was a productive day though, crossed everything we needed off our list and treated ourselves to a nice lunch afterwards too.

Wanted a really easy outfit as I expected it to be a hectic day at the shops. It was a lot quieter than I expected walking around the shopping centre though. It was of course still busy in the Back to School aisles and in the shoe store though, we weren't the only ones doing school shopping!

This Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote was great for carting around snacks and water bottles along with all the essentials, and I appreciated how light the bag was as I was quickly laden down with even more bags of school necessities! With the black bag, black sneakers and black and white dress I thought this outfit needed a pop of colour so I added this awesome turquoise necklace I thrifted just before Christmas - just $1 at the opshop! Was the perfect finishing piece with this outfit.


Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above). First time I've worn the turquoise multi strand necklace as it was a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: black and white striped tee dress layered for winter, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and maxi skirt.

How You Can Wear It:

A simple striped dress is an easy instant outfit for a hot day. You can always add more colour and interest to your outfit with a statement necklace too.

I have to give a shout out my friend Kiki who said a lot of nice things about me on her blog. I'm so glad I could inspire her! Being a mum has a lot of changes associated with it, and the way we wear and view our wardrobe can change too, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy what we wear. And if something no longer feels right (due to body/lifestyle/taste changes) it's good to let it go, or admit that an outfit combination just wasn't the best, and try again the next day. They are only clothes. I'm trying to remember this as I work towards reducing the size of my wardrobe.

Not every day has to be about trying something new or coming up with perfectly coordinated and accessorised outfits. Some days you just want to be comfortable and confident and you rely on simple 'outfit formulas' like the outfits below - blue tops over black! Both outfits showcasing a couple of my new April purchases. A blue knit and striped maxi skirt, and a blue shirt with black skinny jeans.

What I wore:

Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper (new purchase)

Tank: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue (under knit)
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

First wearing of this cute blue knit jumper from my April purchases. This was taken the day after the crazy weather - the sun came out! It actually ended up being a really sunny and warm day, so I was glad I had worn a tank under this. Although it's a light weight knit, it was good to take it off in the heat of the afternoon. The Fox in Flats style challenge for the day was 'up up up' and to try a new hairstyle, so I tied a twilly around my messy bun. You can't see it in these pics, but you can see it in the photo on instagram.

We had to take Cooper to the vets for his regular vaccinations. Just a reminder if you have a dog and especially if you are in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area - get your dog vaccinated against parvovirus. There is a serious outbreak at the moment.

Cooper did really well at the vets, and as the vets have some cute kittens available for adoption, baby T got to play with some kittens for the first time. He loved them, it was so cute to see!


Last worn: blue tank, striped maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag. First time I've worn the jumper as it is a new purchase.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blue knit with burgundy pants, blue tank and striped maxi skirt without the jumper, stripe maxi skirt in a monochrome outfit, Converse with spring dresses, grey MAM bag with cobalt blue and coral.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Rayban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Tai gold alphabet necklace 

Shirt: Target mint stripe shirt
Jeans: Jeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black (new purchase)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wearing another of my April purchases! These Jeanswest prima denim black skinny jeans. I won't go on too much about how much I love these, as I already do that every time I wear the blue version. Jeanswest had a 40% off sale, so I had to get the black pair too. The 7/8th cropped style is the perfect length for petite ladies like me, no alterations needed!

The style dare for the day was 'geek chic', achieved with the collared shirt and a selfie in my glasses! I need glasses for working on a computer screen.

This was a really practical and comfortable outfit for running errands all morning - trying to get things organised for baby T's upcoming first birthday.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, mint stripe shirt, Havaianas, grey MAM (above). First time I've worn the jeans as they are a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: striped shirt hiding a second trimester baby bump in the office, black skinny jeans with a printed top, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM with a neutral third trimester maxi skirt outfit.

Tank Tops, Jersey Maxi Skirts, Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag in Third Trimester

Despite having bought a few maternity items to see me through this pregnancy (in addition to the pieces I already had from last pregnancy), I still want to try and wear regular non-maternity pieces when I can. Otherwise I'll get pretty uninspired with outfit choices in the final weeks when I no longer fit into regular clothes! I managed to squeeze the third trimester baby bump into some pretty tanks for what is sure to be their last wear until after baby arrives.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in Winter coral
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bracelets: the usual plus silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey (on sale in black and white!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this out for the last lunch of the year - this was my new year's eve outfit. The tank had the right amount of sparkle for the occasion. Not quite as much as my sparkly Christmas outfits, but nice all the same. The style challenge for the day was 'sparkles' which made this sequin embellished tank a great choice.

I enjoyed wearing this although it didn't look great when I looked back at the photos - the breeze didn't help! I think the tank untucked with the maxi skirt just looked a little weird, I prefer to tuck this tank in when I wear it as it's really long on my petite frame, even with the baby belly. Bit of an outfit fail.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, sequin tank, striped maxi skirt, tuxedo flats, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.

Other ways to wear: sequin tank and skinny jeans, striped maxi skirt in winter without a baby bump, tuxedo flats and a maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and a colourful cardigan.

More embellished / button down tank tops for under $50:

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Rayban new Wayfarers (on sale!)
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace layered with Tai gold alphabet necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Florence print long line tank (new purchase, on sale!)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey (on sale in black and white!)

Why I wore it:

Wore this out to a BBQ for the first day of the new year. Unlike the outfit I'd worn the day before, I tucked this tank in and much preferred this outfit over the one above. Just a simple thing, to tuck or untuck a top, but it can make a big difference. And show off the growing third trimester bump nicely! :)

This top was one of my post Christmas sale buys from Jeanswest. I'd actually tried this top on before, months ago, and wasn't sure it would accommodate the baby bump so I left it in the store. I kept thinking about it though. When I came across it again in the outlet store reduced even further I was so happy. Even more so to find that it did fit the baby bump! The buttons will come in handy post-baby for breastfeeding too. Even if I was pushing the limits of it here and can't wear it again until after baby arrives, I'm so pleased to have found and bought this.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), grey maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag (above). First time I've worn the thongs (flip flops) and tank as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: grey maxi skirt layered for winter, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and skinny jeans.

Printed Maxi Skirts, Scarves and Grey Jumpers: SAHM Winter Style

While the winter weather hung around a little longer than expected to in Brisbane, I took the chance to enjoy getting layered up with some grey knits and printed scarves. It was easy to take the scarves off as it heated up in the middle of the day.

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf in Island pine-print

Jumper: Topshop grey knitted scoop neck top
Skirt: Izabel London Aztec print maxi skirt (C/O)
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

Wore this to work from home and do the day care drop off/pick up. Nice and comfy! I'd had the idea of wearing this grey jumper and skirt together, but when I put it on it seemed a bit dull. I decided on this scarf to try add some colour, and the bright bag too.

I really wish I could fold this scarf better. It's got a beautiful, colourful print in the centre but I always seem to show more of the cream border than anything when I wear it.


Last worn: printed scarf, grey knit, printed maxi skirt, ballet flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag.

Other ways to wear: printed scarf with pink and blue, grey knit and a third trimester belly, printed maxi skirt and a black tee, ballet flats and a pencil skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag and a maxi dress.

---

More grey knits, under $50:

---

What I wore:

Scarf: red tartan scarf

Jumper: Warehouse grey bead front jumper
Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs Little Ukita bag in Rock Lobster

Why I wore it:

Since I'd liked the grey knit and printed maxi skirt combination above, I wore a similar version again to run some errands and go to the doctors.

I wasn't too sure about the beaded detail on the top and the print in the scarf, if it looked a bit too 'busy'. I changed my opinion back and forth a few times during the day, and I'm still undecided now looking at the photos. Probably not a combination I'd try again, even though I wouldn't call it a complete outfit fail.


Last worn: red tartan scarf, embellished jumper, striped maxi skirt, black ballet flats (above), Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag (above).

Other ways to wear: red tartan scarf and jeans, embellished jumper and skinny jeans, striped maxi skirt and a blue jumper, black ballet flats and a printed dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ukita bag with a black outfit.

Maxi Skirts, Alexander McQueen Skull Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB Tote Bag

With the autumn temperatures slowly starting to arrive, it's been good to get my scarf collection out again. While baby is small I'm avoiding necklaces or extra bracelets he could get tangled in, but a scarf is so easy to remove when feeding and soft for baby to snuggle into.

What I wore:

Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
Tank: Atmos & Here Oregon stripe tank (on sale!)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

Had some shopping to do in the morning and family came to visit in the afternoon. Wanted to add some colour to the black outfit with the colourful scarf and bag. Maxi skirt, stripes and colourful accessories - such a simple and practical outfit. I really liked wearing this.


Last worn: Ray-Ban wayfarer, pink and cream skull scarf, striped tank, black maxi skirt, Marc Jacobs ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wear: pink skull scarf with blue and teal, striped tank and flared jeans, black maxi skirt and a baby bump, Marc Jacobs ballet flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and a tie dye maxi dress.

What I wore:

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)

Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine (similar in black)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in navy!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale with zipped sides!)

Why I wore it:

Because I really liked the maxi skirt and skull scarf combo above, I tried it again. And again I really liked it. Perfect for the daycare drop off / pick up and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. I've worn the tee and skirt and the tee and scarf together before.

Wasn't sure if the burgundy tee and purple bag would go together though. I actually googled for 'burgundy purple outfits' during baby boy's late night feed (when I usually plan what I'll wear for the day!) to try and figure out if my outfit idea would work! I'm glad I gave it a go though. It was good to try a little something different and I think the purple looks nice with the burgundy.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), taupe skull scarf, wine oversized tee, grey marle maxi skirt, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote (above).

Other ways to wear: taupe skull scarf and printed pants, burgundy tee and gold jeans, grey marle maxi skirt and a graphic tee, gold mouse flats and a wrap dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and denim shorts.

Postpartum Outfits: Stripes, Stretchy Skirts and Speedy Bandouliere Bag

Postpartum dressing is tricky, as your body reverses some of the changes that happened in pregnancy. You can't bounce back to your regular wardrobe right away, so stretchy and accommodating fabrics and waistbands are ideal for 'fourth trimester' post baby style!

What I wore:

Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine (similar in black)

Skirt: Target black and white striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit. Simple, comfortable, and perfect for our daily walk around the neighbourhood and having some friends over to meet and cuddle baby boy.

Every time I wear this tee I love it, I should wear it more. While it accommodated my bump in pregnancy, I much prefer the way it looks without a baby belly. The tee doesn't need ironing either so it is likely to be worn a lot more often now as I let some household tasks (okay, most of them...) slide as I adjust to life with two under 2.


Last worn: wine tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere.

Other ways to wear: wine tee and skinny jeans, striped maxi skirt with a graphic tee and baby bump, Louis Vuitton speedy bandouliere in the office.

Elastic waist maxi skirts under $50:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle

Singlet: Atmos & Here Oregon stripe tank (new purchase)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats (new purchase)
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

A slightly cooler morning meant a chance to layer, although I took the cardigan off fairly soon in the day. Brisbane is taking a while to welcome autumn temperatures.

Wore this out to check out a possible house. We started house hunting last year before baby boy was born and never found the perfect place. We didn't expect to resume house hunting so soon after baby was born but we'd found and viewed a promising place and asked some family to come along on our second visit to check it out and get some non sleep deprived opinions. We ultimately decided that while it was close to perfect, it wasn't quite perfect enough. So the house hunt continues, although at a much slower pace than before. Trying to attend open houses with two under 2 isn't the most relaxing thing to do and we are being a lot pickier about what we go to see.

The highlight of the day was seeing my sister and realising she was wearing a very similar outfit. We were both wearing singlets, stripes and a maxi skirt!


Last worn: purple cardi, grey maxi skirt, Louis Vuitton Speedy bandouliere (above). First time I've worn the shoes and the tank on the blog as they are recent purchases.

Other ways to wear: purple cardi and skinny jeans, grey maxi skirt for travel in the second trimester, Louis Vuitton Speedy bandouliere and a wrap dress.
