Pink and Navy Jeans and Tee Outfits

Two more autumn jeans outfits. I feel jeans become a staple as the weather starts to cool off here in Brisbane. Both of these are colourful outfits though, with pink and navy as I really love pink and blue together in any combination of shades.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

It's the first time I've worn this navy tie dye duster and this pink v-neck tee together which surprises me. Both of these pieces are firm favourites, so it was nice to finally wear them together! We had a couple of errands to run and some birthday presents to buy, so jeans and a tee was what I reached for.

I wasn't sure about the washed rose pink of the tee with the brighter pink in one of the tassels on the necklace, and the hot pink of my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC, but I'm glad I wore all these different shades together, I think it worked well in the end. The black jeans and black Converse were good neutrals with the tie dye and those different shades of pink.


Last worn: tie dye duster, tassel necklace, pink tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and shorts, pink tee over a dress, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tee: Atmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another jeans and tee outfit for another weekend day. I had a couple of errands to run again, and dropped my son off at his friend's house for a playdate. I thrifted these pink Zara frayed hem skinny jeans a while back, and they look great with navy! This tee was a great pairing with them.

As in the outfit above, I wasn't too sure at first about having these different shades of pink together with the brighter pink of the jeans and the hot pink of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and although I didn't love it as much as the outfit above, I'm glad I gave this a go.


Last worn: navy tee, pearl tassel necklace, pink skinny jeans, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag (above).

Other ways to wear: navy tee and skirt, pink skinny jeans and blouse, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Green and Black Outfits With Love Too Bag

While it's officially winter now in Brisbane, I still have some autumn outfits I wore that I haven't posted yet, like this printed shorts outfit I actually wore back in April! Both it and the second outfit are made up of green and black.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Shorts: Jeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really like this combination of a green piece in my outfit with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and the chunky green, navy and black geometric bead statement necklace. It's an outfit combination I've worn a few times. This is the first time I've worn the green tee with these black printed shorts though. I also liked this pairing.

Just needed something practical and comfortable to wear for a day of working at home with a break in the afternoon for a physio appointment. As it was back in April and a warm autumn, shorts and tee was perfect.


Last worn: green tee, statement necklace, black printed shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and skirt, black printed shorts and knit, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus beaded black bracelet stack and Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Another autumn outfit, but you can definitely tell it's cooler here! Again it's a black and green outfit, with the black zip detail skinny jeans, and a green floral duster. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag with this again as well. I really like wearing this teal bag with greens!

It's not the first time I've worn this green floral duster with navy either, I really like pairing navy tops with it. I thrifted this tee a while back and it has a beautiful metallic thread weaved through it that sadly just doesn't show up in photos. I really like it in person though, feels a little more special than a plain navy tee with that sparkle.

Jeans and a tee is always a good idea for a working from home day when I'm also doing the school run, and we had sports in the evening too.

Last worn: green floral duster, mixed metal necklace, black bracelet stack, metallic navy tee, zip detail skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).
 
Other ways to wear: green floral duster and shorts, metallic navy tee and leopard skirt, zip detail skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

Black and White Jeans Outfit For The Office With Pink Crossbody Bag

Still loving and wearing my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC bag! Using the bag as the perfect pop of pink with both of these black and white jeans outfits I wore to the office.

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Top: Kmart black batwing button up blouse
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Little photobomb from our newly adopted puppy Bonnie in these pics! And while I thought I'd be okay with these white skinny jeans because I had a day in the office, I quickly realised I was going to have to retire the white jeans, not the best choice to wear with an over-energetic puppy. She's still learning not to jump up, so although I did manage to wash the jeans clean, I probably won't be wearing them for a while! She was surrendered twice before we adopted her so it's going to take a while to teach her manners, and white jeans are not the best choice for this adjustment period.

I did like the white jeans with the white Converse and the black batwing blouse, just adding the little touch of colour with the mini MAC bag. It was a good office outfit, but not something that was good to be wearing when I got home and she jumped all over me!


Last worn: batwing blouse, Tiffany necklace, white skinny jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the gold heart and pearl earrings on the blog as they were a Mother's day present from my boys.

Other ways to wear: batwing blouse and skirt, white skinny jeans and sequins, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and dress.

Re-Dying My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag:

---

What I wore:

Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Marc by Marc Jacobs enamel turnlock stripey hinge black and white bangle and Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another black and white jeans outfit for the office. With the plain white tee and faded black skinny jeans, this outfit was a little casual, even with the addition of the statement tassel necklace. The cobalt blazer I recently thrifted was the perfect topper for this on a cooler autumn morning in Brisbane, and to seem a bit more professional in the office. I really enjoyed this outfit, the bright accessories and cobalt blazer made it seem very cheerful.

And of course, black skinny jeans are a much better choice around a little puppy still learning not to jump up! We had hoped our older dog Cooper would teach Bonnie some good manners, but he seems content just to watch her and her craziness. It's so cute when they curl up together though, so glad we adopted them both.


Last worn: gold heart and pearl earrings (above), cobalt blazer, tassel necklace, white tee, zip detail black skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and pink, white tee over a dress, zip detail black skinny jeans with green, Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC and stripes.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.

Navy Striped Shirt Dresses And Converse With Redyed Pink Bag

Feeling uninspired for some autumn office outfits, I wore a striped dresses each day, with the same accessories even! Love an easy outfit formula. Also sharing my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag I recently redyed, it's a fun pop of colour in these outfits.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress 
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

A cooler autumn morning and a commute to work had me getting this long sleeved shift dress out of my wardrobe again. It's quite a thick fabric and kept me nicely cosy for the way into work. I added a little more colour to the navy and black stripes with the fun multi coloured tassel necklace, a recent opshop find. 

I thought that the navy and black stripes were a great background to let my recently redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag pop. It was a very vivid, bright neon pink before, although also quite worn. I stripped the colour off and then repainted it in Angelus hot pink acrylic leather paint, and I love the finished results!


Last worn: navy stripe shift dress, white leather Converse, redyed Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC. First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: navy stripe shift dress and leather jacket, leather Converse and skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe shift dress in second trimester.

Process of Re-Dying My Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag:

---

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Dress: thrifted Kmart white and navy long sleeve stripe tee dress
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC redyed with Angelus hot pink leather paint

Why I wore it:

Another office day, another navy stripe shift dress with Converse, my little pink mini MAC bag, and the same tassel necklace. Just like with the navy and black shift dress above, I felt the white and navy stripes on this dress were a great background for the colourful accessories. This dress was a $1 opshop find too, I've gotten so much wear from it (already this is it's 11th wear). And like the navy shift dress above, it's going to get a lot more wear over autumn and winter!


Last worn: navy and white striped dress, tassel necklace (above), white leather Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff redyed hot pink mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: navy and white striped dress and leather jacket, white leather Converse and midi skirt.

Kmart Floral Print Dresses and Turquoise Mini MAC

Two very different Kmart printed dresses I wore for a weekend a couple of weeks ago when it was a little warmer! Both bags accessorised with my little Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC that goes with everything.

What I wore:

Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I did feel a little overdressed for this in the morning when we had a couple of playdates, but that evening we were going out for a birthday dinner and one outfit felt easier for the day! This coral print wrap dress is one mum got me for Christmas, I love how colourful it is. Although this is the first time I've tried the aqua mini MAC bag with it, I really liked the combination. It was the perfect size too as I didn't need to carry much for the playdates or for dinner.


Last worn: spiral earrings, Tiffany heart necklace, coral print wrap dress, Kmart slides, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: coral print wrap dress with yellow, Kmart slides and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and maternity shorts.

---

What I wore:

Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

I had planned to wear a denim jacket over this, but it was a nice warm morning so I went without one. I definitely needed it in the afternoon though when it started to cool down, with winter just over a week away here in Brisbane it's getting chilly!

It was a nice sunny day for a couple of errands and then a little browse in the opshop - donating a few more things and taking advantage of the 'fill a bag of books for $5' sale to pick up some more books for myself and for the kids. I'm keeping up with my 100 books a year reading goal, the extra commutes into the office now I'm working in there more often help! I'm at 63 books read so far this year, and I'm always picking up books in the opshops in case I don't have any hold requests available when we are on our weekly library trip.


Last worn: beaded necklace, tiered sundress, leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: tiered sundress and denim jacket, leather Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in third trimester.

Yellow Tees and Navy Pencil Skirts With Love Too Bag

I felt that a lot of my office outfits had been neutrals recently, so decided to add a little more colour and a bit less black but wearing both of these blue textured pencil skirts with cheerful yellow tees!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It was a chilly start to the morning - autumn is truly starting to show up in Brisbane, with winter just a couple of weeks away! So I needed to add a blazer to this. I really like this mango yellow tee with the navy jacquard pencil skirt, and the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. Blue and yellow look good together in any shade combination.

The black ankle boots were good for extra warmth and a little bit of matchy-matchy with the black jacquard wave on the pencil skirt. So with the cobalt blue blazer on top I added the little cobalt wrap bracelet too for more matchy-matchy. I really liked this outfit! Good for a cold autumn commute to the office.


Last worn: cobalt blazer, mango tee, navy beaded necklace, cobalt wrap bracelet, jacquard pencil skirt, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer and jeans, mango tee, jacquard pencil skirt and pink, ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy:  ankle boots in second trimester.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted blue statement beaded necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Skirt: Asos blue textured lace pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

It was a quite office day without too many team members in, so I got away with a simple tee and pencil skirt outfit without having to make it more formal with a blazer on top. I probably should have added a blazer to this as well though, it was a little cooler in the morning than I expected! Luckily it had warmed up enough in the afternoon for the commute home. 

This navy lace pencil skirt is a firm favourite and one I've already hit 30 wears with some time ago. I liked the bright mustard yellow tee with it, and added another shade of blue with the Converse sneakers and navy beaded necklace. I decided to wear a neutral bag with this, with the tee being bright enough. this little Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag goes with everything.


Last worn: mustard yellow tee, blue beaded necklace, blue lace pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag.

Other ways to wear: mustard yellow tee and maxi skirt, blue lace pencil skirt worn 30 ways, blue Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue lace pencil skirt in second trimester.

Midi Skirts and Tank Tops With Love Too Bag

I've worn these midi skirts to the office a few times, but decided to wear them with simple tanks for working from home days recently.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted &Me blue linen button up midi skirt with pockets
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I really liked all of the blues in this outfit, with the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love bag always photographing so navy, and the light blue linen skirt and the navy ribbed tank. I felt like I needed a little extra colour with this when I put it all together though, the thrifted chartreuse necklace was the perfect pop of colour. With it and the tan slides I didn't feel like this outfit was too monochromatic. I really liked it!

Was nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home and having a tradie over at the house in the middle of the day. While the morning was a little chilly it was nice to have bare arms and legs for a bit, it's a lot cooler in Brisbane now than it was when I wore this!


Last worn: navy tank, chartreuse necklace, linen midi skirt, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: navy tank and jeans, linen midi skirt in the office, tan slides and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and shorts.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

I'd planned this outfit in advance, after liking the one above so much! Again it was a plain tank (this silver one I've had for a while and I'm nearly at 30 wears with) and this pretty green broderie anglaise midi skirt. I didn't like this outfit so much last time I wore this skirt, when I wore it with a printed tank, so I knew the simple block colour tank would be something I'd enjoy better.

I added the navy necklace to compliment the deep blue undertone in the Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag, and Converse are always a practical and comfortable choice. The weather wasn't quite as expected though, it was a lot more autumn like than the day I wore the first outfit, so while it was okay working from home, I ended up adding a denim jacket over this when I was out for the school run and a couple of errands before school pick up and sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, navy flat bead necklace, silver tank, green broderie midi skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag (above).

Other ways to wear: denim jacket worn 30 ways, silver tank and shorts, green broderie midi skirt with red, white Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and jeans. 

Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

Metallic Gold Tee Worn 2 Ways

I bought this gold linen tee at the outlets recently - I couldn't pass by how shiny it was, and for just $10! I'm finding it a little tricker to style than I first thought. I figured with metallic being a neutral it would work with everything, but so far I've just worn it with pink and blue.

What I wore:

Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold (new purchase)
Skirt: Cotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Thought I'd pair this tee with my pink polka dot pencil skirt for its first wear. I like tees and pencil skirts for office wear, it works in my casual office. I felt the metallic tee and the pale pastel pink polka dot pencil skirt seemed a little washed out, even with the black Converse, so I added some brighter turquoise accessories.

The matchy-matchy of the turquoise Balenciaga first bag and the turquoise and gold tassel necklace made me smile. I always love a bit of matchy-matchy!


Last worn: turquoise tassel necklace, pink polka dot pencil skirt, black Converse, Balenciaga Blue India first bag. First time I've worn the tee as it's a recent purchase.

Other ways to wear: pink polka dot pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and jeans, Balenciaga Blue India first bag and maxi skirt.

Perfect for pregnancy: pink polka dot skirt in first trimester, Converse in second trimester.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted Jeanswest cobalt blue blazer (new purchase)
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Tee: Just Jeans Jamie shirt tail v neck tee in coated champagne gold
Jeans: thrifted Zara pink frayed hem skinny jeans
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers (new purchase)
Bracelets: the usual 
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Another trip into the office for this metallic gold tee! This time, while I wore it again with pink, I covered it up a bit more with the blazer. Both the pink jeans and the cobalt blue blazer are recent opshop finds, as are the white leather Converse. I added a little more pink with the neutral wood and blush necklace, but I think a bolder necklace would have worked better here, it got lost in the tee a bit.

The pink jeans and cobalt blue blazer certainly added enough colour to make up for the lack of brightness in the necklace though, and I really liked this outfit! While the deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag doesn't match any of the other colours in my outfit, I've been wearing this bag a lot recent and think that - just like it does in this outfit - it goes with so much.


Last worn: blush necklace, gold tee (above), pink frayed hem jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag. First time I've worn the blazer and Converse on the blog as they are recent opshop finds.

Other ways to wear: cobalt blazer worn two ways, pink frayed hem jeans with black, Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and skirt.

Blue and Green Outfits With Black Denim And Love Too Bag

Two blue and green outfits, both with black denim, and different shades of blue and green. I like blue and green together, and this deep teal Rebecca Minkoff Love bag works with both blue and green so well!

What I wore:

Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Top: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: black matte slim Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Not sure why I haven't worn this turquoise tank with the turquoise and green tassel hem cover up before - it's a good match! Felt nice and colourful for a warm weekend day where we had a couple of playdates. I wore my little Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag again, I like it with black and I think it looked good with the lighter blues and greens in the cover up. While it is a true deep teal in person it definitely looked more navy against the bright turquoise, so the navy and gold beaded necklace was a nice way to look a little more matchy-matchy too.

This outfit made my matchy-matchy self really happy!


Last worn: green and blue tassel hem cover up, navy and gold beaded necklace, turquoise tank, black denim shorts, matte black Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag.

Other ways to wear: green and blue tassel hem cover up and jeans, turquoise tank and purple, black denim shorts and dress, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag and maxi skirt.

---

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: Roie Designs coral beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Cle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Jeans: Jeanswest black skinny jeans with zipper detail (Christmas present)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather

Why I wore it:

This was a very busy day, with trying to cram in a few hours of work in the morning before heading to a sports session in a local park in the afternoon with the kids. Things were so busy at work I got caught up and was nearly late, but luckily they were running a little behind at the park so it wasn't too bad. The kids had a great time too!

As it was a cooler morning I got these jeans out for a wear - Mum got them for me for Christmas on our opshopping day, and this is their first wear. While they do look similar in the photos to the other pair of faded black Jeanswest jeans I won, they are very different in person, with zip detail hems and zip detail pockets. I tried to tuck the tank in enough so that you could see the zips in the photo, but it didn't really work. Tucking the tank in also didn't disguise the fact that I'd not ironed this tank as much as I thought it would!

With the navy tank I added more colour and a bit of shoulder coverage for the sun in the afternoon with this green floral duster, that is a favourite of mine to wear with navy!

Last worn: green floral duster, navy tank, beaded tassel necklace, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag (above). First time I've worn the jeans as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: green floral duster and jeans, navy tank with pink, black Converse and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff deep teal Love Too bag and white jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.
