Colourful Jeans and Cardigans With Printed Tanks

While I wore these outfits just at the end of August, I was enjoying the warmer spring-like temps that were arriving just before the official start of spring. Celebrated this warmer weather with some bright colourful jeans outfits, and two cute printed tanks.

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I really liked this green and mustard combination! I've worn this yellow cardigan with olive a few times in the past, but this is only the second time I've tired it with the bright green jeans. It felt very colourful, I was glad I'd picked out this neutral grey printed Sass and Bide tank to sit in between the colours. Tried to keep it natural with the accessories too, with the white Converse and the small Chloe Ethel bag.

The Chloe Ethel bag usually looks really caramel toned in photos, but paired with these green jeans you can see the light khaki tint to it. Perfect accessory for this outfit - and this bag fits so much more than it looks like it would. Was perfect for the school run, and after working from home and school pick up, it fitted some snacks inside for entertaining the kids before an appointment in the evening.


Last worn: mustard cardigan, pearl coin necklace, brown printed tank, green skinny jeans, white Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard cardigan and shorts, brown printed tank and maxi skirt, green skinny jeans worn 30 ways, white Converse and chambray dress, Chloe small Ethel bag and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: white Converse Chucks in second trimester.

Chloe Small Ethel: Review and Contents

---

What I wore:

 

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
Tank: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Jeans: Sass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

I had the school run, and working from home with an on-camera meeting, so I debated adding statement earrings to accessorise with. I'd recently got some new hardware from my company for working from home with though, and one of those pieces was a new headset with over the ear headphones which ruled out pretty earrings, it wouldn't have been comfortable.

I can't believe I haven't worn this neon printed tank with the magenta jeans before! They are both from Sass and Bide and both the perfect matching shade of magenta. I really need to wear them together more often. It was a really cold day, and I regretted the choice of cardigan in the morning and wished I'd picked a warmer one, but I did like the grey with the magenta pink and the soft neutrals on the tank.

I got a call near the middle of the day that my son had been injured at school and I had to go pick him up. He's all recovered now thankfully! By that point in the day it was much warmer and this cardigan was the perfect layer. I did feel the cold a little later in the afternoon though when we went back to school to pick up my other son at the end of the day. Maybe a full length sleeve would have been a better choice.

Last worn: grey cardigan, neon print tank, necklace, bracelets, magenta jeans, white Converse (above), Chloe Ethel (above).

Other ways to wear: grey cardigan and maxi dress, neon print tank and maxi skirt, magenta jeans and kimono, white Converse and skirt, Chloe Ethel and striped dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: neon print tank in second trimester, Converse Chucks and maternity shorts.

How You Can Wear It:

Colourful jeans are an easy way to switch things up a little bit with your outfits. They can be really versatile and it's nice to have something a little different from the usual classic blue denim.

Dresses, Leather Jacket and Balenciaga Purple Work Bag | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, another two variations on a simple outfit formula. Wearing a black leather jacket, ankle boots, and my rather large purple Balenciaga work bag, with different floral dresses.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Earrings: Kmart lilac statement ball drop earrings

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Jaase Celine autumn leaves mini dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

This was an exciting day! I had the usual school run, helping out in my sons classroom, and working from home before school pick up. But after school the kids had an award ceremony at the library for completing the winter reading challenge, with some delicious cake to celebrate after the medal and certificate ceremony. They have been doing the challenges since they started school, back in 2020, but this is the first time they have been able to have the traditional ceremony. I thought it would be fun to dress up a little for it, and I was really just looking for another excuse to wear this pretty Jasse dress again, I love it.

With the navy dress purple accessories seemed right - even if the pastel purple statement earrings are a different shade from the deep purple of the Balenciaga raisin work bag. I didn't need such a big bag, I didn't have a lot to carry, but I wanted to give this bag another wear. I liked how the purple worked with the autumn colours in the print of the dress.


Last worn: black leather jacket, lilac earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, Jaase Celine dress, black ankle boots, Balenciaga work bag.

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and printed jeans, Jaase Celine dress and pink bag, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga work bag and pencil skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: black ankle boots in second trimester.

30 Ways to Wear: Purple Balenciaga Work Bag

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Dress: Atmos & Here Willow printed tee dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Balenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag

Why I wore it:

This floral tee dress is a firm favourite and I was trying to think of different ways to wear it. As I'd gotten the purple Balenciaga work bag out for the outfit above, I wondered if the green would work with the purple. I was pleasantly surprised that I like the dress and bag together, although I'd been dubious at first, as purple and green isn't a colour combination I've worn in the past. I really liked it in this outfit though!

I picked the black leather jacket again to help ease into the purple and green combination, and of course I went with black ankle boots. Unlike the day above, it was a colder start to the morning, and I wasn't sure I should have gone without leggings! Thankfully it warmed up in the afternoon for school pick up.


Last worn: black leather jacket (above), floral print shift dress, black ankle boots (above), Balenciaga purple work bag (above).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi dress, floral print shift dress and yellow cardigan, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Balenciaga purple work bag and little black dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: floral print shift dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester with the same dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Leather jackets and ankle boots are cold weather staples. For a matchy-matchy look with a black jacket and boots, you can easily add more colour with a printed dress and a big bold bag like I have here.
