Bag: Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH
Why I wore it:
It's always fun when autumn weather starts to arrive and I can pull out all my jeans again! I have quite a collection of colourful denim. These burgundy ones haven't been worn much, I bought them in my massive Jeanswest sale haul at the start of 2020. It was nice to get them out for their first wearing this year with the cooler autumn weather, even if the burgundy isn't an exact match with the red of the Coca Cola logo on the tee I thought the different shades of red would look good together.This was a really casual outfit, especially with the Adidas superstar sneakers (which I think complimented the contrasting horizontal stripes in the tee nicely) so I tired to dress it up a little with the statement earrings - the navy ones being matchy-matchy with the navy stripes on the tee. Made me feel like I put a little more effort into my outfit!
It was a day full of errands - I had a big list of things to get through so we headed to the local Westfield to try cross everything off in one trip. The Balenciaga part time bag was great for carrying the essentials and a couple snacks and water bottles for the kids. It was a rainy day though so we were as quick as possible as it was so busy! Although we haven't had virus cases in Brisbane for over a month, we still haven't been heading out to the shops as much as we used to pre-COVID, and normally avoid the big shopping centres. You forget how busy it can get, especially on a wet weekend day when everyone is looking to stay dry!

Why I wore it:
Same outfit formula as the one above, on a much quieter weekend day. Headed out to the library and the playground with the kids. I even wore the same shoes, these Adidas Superstar were a great thrift find I'm definitely getting value from. They are super comfortable for all the running around with the kids too.Again I added statement earrings to this outfit - the teal and gold complimented the turquoise and gold of the necklace nicely I thought. I love the way the colours look with the magenta skinny jeans too! I did regret the earrings a little when I had a struggle fitting the kids bikes back into the car (it's like a game of Tetris!) and one of my earrings got caught on the handlebars. Luckily it didn't fall too far and landed in the car!
With statement magenta jeans and an animal print tank I feel this could be a really loud outfit, but with the neutral browns in the tank I think this works well and isn't too much. Was nice and easy for a quiet day with the kids too. Again the Balenciaga part time bag came in handy for water bottles and snacks!

How You Can Wear It:
Colourful jeans are a nice way to get away from the blue jeans rut while still being just as practical. You can keep it simple as I have here with neutral accessories like a black bag, and a printed top that doesn't clash with the colours of your jeans.
