Striped Tees Matching Waterfall Cardigans With Jeans and Balenciaga Day Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, more jeans and tee outfits, which are becoming a staple with winter really taking hold here in Brisbane!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs mauve square scarf
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Nobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta

Why I wore it:

With the navy stripe tee matching the cosy navy waterfall cardigan, and the black Nobody Denim skinny jeans and black sneakers, this could have been a really dark toned outfit, even with the white in the stripes. The magenta Balenciaga Day bag and purple scarf were the perfect way to add a bit more colour, and I appreciated the extra cosiness from the scarf too, it was a particularly cold day and I was thankful for the scarf on the school run, especially in the morning!

Had a quiet day of working from home before picking the kids up in the afternoon, and then sports in the evening. Jeans and a tee is the perfect casual outfit for that.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, purple scarf, navy stripe tee, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Balenciaga magenta day bag.

Other ways to wear: navy waterfall cardigan and shorts, purple scarf and printed dress, navy stripe tee and orange skirt, Nobody Denim black skinny jeans and blazer, Balenciaga magenta day bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

Favourite Bag in My Balenciaga Collection:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Scarf: thrifted no brand navy grid print scarf
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in eddy stripe white / red terracotta
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Adidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bag: Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

This was one of those outfits I'd planned in my head that didn't quite translate how I wanted to when I put it on in the morning. It was a busy day though, with helping out in my son's classroom after the school run, working from home, and then last minute shopping for a birthday present for a birthday party the next day after school pick up. I had planned this scarf but realised it didn't look quite right, but had no time to try another. Not the worst combination, but I do think another scarf would have worked better.

The shoes are new to me! I rarely ever see shoes in my size at the opshops so getting a pair of Adidas Superstar sneakers for $3 the other year was an awesome steal. My mum found these Stan Smiths and was hoping they would fit her, but unfortunately they didn't. She brought them over for me to try though and they work for me, so she gave them to me. $0 sneakers is the best!

Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, blue window pane scarf, burgundy striped tee, grey skinny jeans, Balenciaga tempete Day bag. First time I've worn the Stan Smith sneakers.

Other ways to wear: red waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, blue window pane scarf and striped dress, burgundy striped tee and shorts, grey skinny jeans worn 30ways, Balenciaga tempete Day bag and maxi dress. 

Perfect for pregnancy: Balenciaga tempete Day bag in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

For a little bit of matchy-matchy, try pairing a striped tee in a similar shade to a cosy cardigan in winter. Adding other colours with accessories like I have with scarves and bags is fun to try too!

Maxi Skirts In Winter With Striped Tees, Scarves, Boots and Denim Jackets

Layering up my maxi skirts to ger some wear from them in winter, with striped tees, cosy scarves, denim jackets and boots. Despite the different colours in both of these outfits, the neutral small Chloe Ethel bag was a great accessory with both.

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Asos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I really like blue and orange together, and I love this ochre maxi skirt with stripes. It's not the first time I've worn this navy stripe tee with the orange skirt, but it is a bit more layered up this time than last time! It was a chilly morning for the school run. Although this cobalt scarf covers up most of the striped tee I really liked the different shades of blue together, especially with the dark denim jacket on top.

Because this maxi skirt has side splits and I didn't want my legs to freeze I wore my leather knee high boots under this to keep cosy! It worked well.

I worked from home while the kids were in school and we stopped off at the park in the afternoon to grab a few more branches for our stick insect to eat. Ended up running into friends and the boys saw a few classmates there too, so we stayed for quite a while and I did wish I'd added leggings under the skirt when it started to get cooler in the afternoon. Luckily we weren't out for too long as we had to get back home to get ready for sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, cobalt scarf, navy stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, tan boots, Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki.

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, cobalt scarf with red, navy stripe tee and shorts, ochre maxi skirt and band tee, tan boots worn 30 ways, Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki and dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, navy stripe tee in third trimester.

Chloe Ethel Reveal:

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
Tee: Atmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, with the black maxi skirt, pale denim jacket and grey striped tee this outfit was looking a bit bland. The pink and yellow Alexander McQueen skull scarf was the perfect pop of colour to brighten it up a bit! And I like how this reminds me of Sheila and her pink and yellow skull scarf, although hers is a different print she got lucky and found it second hand, I picked this up on sale.

Again I went with boots, just ankle boots this time as the long ruffle hem on this skirt doesn't have any side splits. Was a nice comfortable outfit for a busy day with an appointment, a couple of errands, and a stop at the library for the kids and I to stock up on more books for the weekend.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, pink skull scarf, grey stripe tee, black maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Ethel (above).

Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket in double denim outfit, pink skull scarf and pencil skirt, grey stripe tee and double denim, black maxi skirt worn 2 ways, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Ethel and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink skull scarf in third trimester, grey stripe tee at 40 weeks, black ankle boots in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts can work on dry winter days with a few more layers! Try jackets, scarves and of course boots. For super cold winter days, you can add leggings underneath too!
