Jeans and Blazers With printed Scarves and Chloe Marcie | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's weekday wear link up, sharing two jeans and blazer outfits I wore for some cold and wet autumn weather in Brisbane.


What I wore:

Chloe Marcie medium bag in nut worn on shoulder | awayfromtheblue


JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
Scarf: thrifted checked purple pashmina scarf
Tee: thrifted Mix Apparel black marle tee
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a dark outfit, but I picked everything deliberately to let the scarf be the pop of colour! I didn't really need the scarf during the day, I was just working from home, but I knew I'd appreciate the cosy pashmina in the evening when I went to a presentation by Justin Coulson (a parenting expert in Australia). It was nice to catch up with my friends kid-free although it was a little chilly so I was very glad I'd worn the scarf, with all the doors and windows open in the hall.

Wasn't sure if the space dye tee was too patterned to wear with the checked scarf, but gave it a go anyway as I thought it was a bit more interesting than just a plain black tee. I loved the tonal grey and black outfit with the purple scarf, and the Chloe Marcie bag was big enough for all my essentials, a bottle of water, and the parenting books I bought from Justin after his talk!


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, black space dye tee, Nobody Denim charcoal jeans, Adidas Superstar, Chloe Marcie. First time I've worn the scarf as it was a summer opshop buy.

Jacket: Jeanswest Nadine 3/4 sleeve dusky pink blazer
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: thrifted Kmart space dye cream and black longline top
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

My boss had a laugh at me all rugged up in this outfit when we had a video call. She's in another state and a much colder state so needing all the layers for 20 degree (Celsius) weather seemed a little overkill to her, ha! It was the first really cold weather in Brisbane for autumn though so I just wanted to be cosy!

Like the outfit above, I wasn't sure if the space dye tee would work with the grid print on the scarf but I liked the combination, I think it went well with the space dye effect. With the blush blazer and the black jeans and brown Chloe Marcie bag though, this is a very different outfit from the one above, where it was much more tonal and monochrome except the scarf and bag. I did like it, pink and blue are always a winner and although this blazer is a lighter one it was just what I needed for the school run in the morning and afternoon with the scarf.


Last worn: blush blazer, white space dye tee, blue grid print scarf, faded black skinny jeans, Converse, Chloe Marcie (above).

Other ways to wearblush blazer worn two ways, white space dye tee and shorts, blue grid print scarf and striped dress, faded black skinny jeans and floral print, Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie and printed dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Blazers aren't just for the office! They can look great worn casually with jeans too, and a colourful scarf is always a good accessory.

Striped Dresses Scarves Chloe Ethel Bag

Two outfits I wore back at the start of May, when I just needed to add some cute scarves to these summer striped dresses to make them autumn weather appropriate.


What I wore:

Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia with blue windowpane scarf chloe ethel bag and converse | awayfromblue

Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki on arm with striped dress | awayfromtheblue



Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
DressCotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Last time I wore this black and white striped tee dress with a blue statement necklace I really liked the combination, so I tried to replicate a similar outfit again with this blue grid print scarf. When I saw the scarf in the opshop I knew it would look so cute worn with striped pieces, and I really liked this outfit! Even if it was a little warm for the scarf in the middle of the day, it was nice in the cooler morning and evening.

Felt my Chloe Ethel bag was overdue another wear, and it was just the right size. I had an appointment to go to in the morning and this fits so much - easily space for all of my essentials plus the latest library book I was reading, for entertainment in the waiting room.

This was such a comfortable outfit too, as aside from the appointment I was just working from home. I've been liking dresses on those kind of days, simple instant outfits!


Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the blue grid print scarf as I thrifted it back in summer.

Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Another working from home and school run outfit. Wanted to add some colour to this outfit, but couldn't decide that morning which scarf would look best when the one I'd planned seemed too warm for the day - it was quite humid! This lighter parrot print scarf was one I eventually settled on, and I really liked it with the dress. It did make me a little late to drop the kids off at school though, trying on all these different scarves in the morning. 😂 Thankfully we made it in class before the bell as I was parent helper. It ended up being a much cooler afternoon too so I was wishing when I picked up the kids from school that I had picked the warmer scarf to wear!

Again the Chloe Ethel bag was the perfect neutral bag for this - although I did just have to carry my essentials this time around, I thought the caramel colour was really nice with the print in the scarf.


Last worn: parrot print scarf, navy striped shift dress, blue Converse, Chloe Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wearparrot print scarf and teal top, navy striped shift dress and statement necklace, blue Converse and midi skirt, Chloe Ethel bag and jeans.




How You Can Wear It:

Stripes are fun to print mix with! For a subtle but still fun print mix, try adding a printed scarf to a striped dress like I have in these outfits.
