Leopard Print Skirt Outfits With Red Saddle Bag

Two different skirt outfits, both following a black and leopard print outfit formula and accessorised with my little red saddle bag that has been getting a lot of wear lately.


What I wore:




Tank: lace bib black swing tank from Mum's wardrobe
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day, just before Christmas. Had a bunch of errands to run and last minute gifts to pick up as well as the massive pile of wrapping to finish. As it was a hot day I needed something easy and light, this cute ruffle hem leopard print skirt was ideal, and so good with the neutral black lace detail tank. With the leopard print on the skirt, and the lace detail of the tank, I felt this outfit was detailed enough that I didn't need to add a necklace to it. It was also nice to not add another layering piece in the heat. We definitely needed the aircon on by the time my sister came over for dinner.







What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted wood and marble bead thrifted necklace with white string
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Skirt: thrifted Target black stretch denim skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

While this outfit follows a similar idea as the one above, with the leopard print, orange bag and another skirt, it looks really different as it's a black denim skirt and a neon leopard print tee. Same red saddle bag though, it was a go-to bag over December! Wore this again to run a couple of errands, and then attend a science event at the library. The kids had a lot of fun, and on such a humid day it was good to enjoy the aircon in the library for a while!

This leopard print tee is one I often pair with denim, I really liked it with the denim skirt. I need to wear it with red more often though! The red saddle bag looked so good with the neon orange. I felt like adding some accessories to this, so went with this black Swarovski wrap bracelet and the neutral beaded necklace so it didn't distract from the fun tee too much.


Last worn: leopard print tee, neutral necklace, black denim skirt, studded sandals, red studded saddle bag (above).

Leopard Print and Jeans Outfits With Chloe Bags

Two slightly cooler spring days in Brisbane meant getting another opportunity to get my jeans out again before summer temps set in. While both of these outfits have different colour schemes, they are both jeans and a tee with leopard print and Chloe bags.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Marcs navy lurex detail foil tee
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Pink and blue always make me smile, although it does frustrate me a little how the lurex threads on this recently thrifted tee never show up in photos! I feel it's really noticeable in person. I liked the texture the tee had with the bright cheerful pink leopard print of the jeans. Had a regular weekday with working from home and the school run, jeans and a tee was ideal. I didn't really need all the extra space the Chloe Marcie gave but I liked the neutral tan with the colourful outfit.

I've been reorganising my wardrobe a bit lately with the clear outs I've been doing, so I realised when I got to my accessories that I hadn't worn this necklace in a while, it was definitely due another wear!


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, pink leopard print jeans, Havaianas, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearnavy tee and maxi skirt, pink leopard print jeans and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and dress.





What I wore:


Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromblue


Necklace:  thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeSass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard print
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus orange, yellow and red thread bracelets
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Another day of working from home and the school run, with a couple of errands after picking the kids up from school. These grey skinny jeans are extremely comfortable, and I liked the neutral grey of the denim and the pale khaki of the Chloe Ethel bag with the neon orange leopard print on the tee.

I went a little matchy-matchy with the orange bracelets, although I added a slightly different colour with the yellow tassel necklace. I really liked this outfit! It was a slightly cooler day with all the rain, this outfit was perfect.


Last worn: leopard print tee, yellow tassel necklace, grey skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe Ethel bag.

Blue and Pink Floral Print Outfits For Spring

Two simple pink and blue outfits for spring. Both have a little touch of florals, although the first one has a pink tee and blue shorts and the second is a blue tee and pink jeans to switch it up a little.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted metallic clay bead necklace
TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

This was an eventful day! I was working from home when there was an incident in the street and I had to run out to help. Thankfully I didn't have to provide a lot of first aid as it was just a minor incident, but not the best way to meet the new neighbours!

As it had been a warm day, shorts and a tee were perfect, and after I wrapped up things with work we had a couple of errands to run and I took my son to an appointment.

I wasn't sure if the floral print bag would be too much against the print on the shorts, but I think the colours being similar helped tie it all together, and I really liked this combination.


Last worn: pink ombre tee, beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote.

Other ways to wearpink ombre tee and blazer, navy printed culottes and cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff hand painted mini MAB tote dress.







What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest Polly printed kimono in white base ditsy floral 
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren


Why I wore it:

This time around I went with a brighter shade of pink, with the magenta jeans and the pastel tee. With the red and pink floral print in the cover up, I thought the magenta jeans complimented it quite nicely, and I do always like blue and pink together so the pastel blue tee was an easy choice. It let me do a bit of matchy-matchy with the blue Converse too.

Didn't need to carry much, another wok from home day with a physio appointment in the afternoon so it was a good opportunity to get this little olive Darren bag out again - can't even fit my wallet in it, it really is just for the essentials.

Like with the jeans, I liked how the olive worked with the shades of green in the floral print.


Last worn: floral cover up, stone necklace, blue tee, magenta jeans, blue ConverseRebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wearfloral cover up and skirt, blue tee and shorts, magenta jeans and leather jacket, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and double denim.

Pink Jeans and Peplum Tops

Felt like I hadn't worn these black peplum tops for a while, so go them out again to wear with some pink jeans and leopard print outfits. Accessorised both with cosy cardigans for winter and for comfort while working from home.


What I wore:




Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart black sleeveless frill hem peplum tank
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Taking advantage of the winter school holidays, the kids had a fun day out with my mum while I got to enjoy the peace and quiet working from home. It worked out so well as I had a meeting filled day, and I didn't have to worry about noise in the background!

Did have to pop out in the morning between meetings for a quick errand, but otherwise wanted to be comfortable for sitting at my desk all day. I liked all the different shades of pink with this, with the leopard print jeans, studded MAB crossbody bag and the pastel tassel necklace. I wasn't too sure if the black peplum tank and black cardigan were too similar to wear together, being identical shades of black, but I think they balanced out all the pink nicely, especially when paired with the black Converse sneakers.


Last worn: cocoon cardigan, pastel tassel necklace, peplum tank, leopard print jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody.

Other ways to wearcocoon cardigan and denim skirt, peplum tank and pencil skirt, leopard print jeans and purple, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody and floral dress.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted flat peach statement bead necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Why I wore it:

Another pink jeans and leopard print outfit for another working from home day. I had to take the kids along to a school holiday program in the morning and pick them up again in the afternoon, so again I went with the practical Converse sneakers for the little bit of driving. Unlike the first outfit, I stuck with one shade of pink with these magenta jeans which are a firm favourite of mine in the cooler weather. I wasn't sure if the leopard print cardigan was too much with the space dye print on the peplum tank, but decided to give it a go as I thought the patchy print was a good pairing. I'm not sure I would wear this again, but I'm glad I gave it a go for something different.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, orange necklace, peplum tee, magenta jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Colourful Jeans and Cosy Cardigans With Edie Shoulder Bag

Switching it up a little and setting aside my darker black and grey jeans. I wore some fun colourful pairs to add a little brightness to my cosy cardigan and jeans and tee outfits recently. Both outfits accessorised with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag in Luna blue, that works perfectly with both pink and red.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue with magenta and leopard | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted silver and turquoise multi strand necklace
Tee: Jeanswest black scoop neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

This was a beautifully warm weekend! I definitely didn't need the cardigan much during the day, although it was appreciated in the evening. We headed out to pick up a family member from the airport who we hadn't seen in a while, the kids were so excited. I felt that the black tee, even with the magenta jeans, was a bit plain, so this leopard print knit was a nice way to add a little more print and interest to the basic jeans and tee outfit.

Couldn't decide on a necklace, and tried on a few, but I liked the pop of colour this thrifted silver and turquoise one added, and how the silver matched the hardware and chain strap on the Edie bag.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, turquoise necklace, black tee, Sass and Bide jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag.

30 Ways to Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Edie Bag






What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue and red jeans | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

After a late night the previous night, I stuck to the same outfit formula the next day, with these red jeans to add a pop of colour to my outfit. A little bit of matchy-matchy with the red Coca-Cola logo on the tee too! Again, I carried the same bag I had the day before, even though I didn't need to carry much for the school run and working from home.

As it was such a chilly morning I layered up with this cosy cocoon cardigan. Like the leopard print cardigan in the first outfit, it was also an opshop find and is getting worn quite a lot this winter. Definitely getting good value from the $1 I spent on it!

Linen Shorts With Embroidered Tanks and White Cover Ups

Loving the Brisbane weather that meant I could still get some wear from these linen shorts I thrifted last year well into autumn! This time around I wore them with embroidered tanks and white cover ups, for a couple of days back in the Easter school holidays.


What I wore:



Jacket:  Shein lace trimmed crochet inset white kimono c/o
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart cumin linen blend pull on shorts
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

Sometimes I like showing off the cuter paper bag waist on these linen shorts, like I did last time I wore them. Other times I like pairing them with voluminous tops and hiding the waistband for a completely different look. I thought I'd be brave and try orange and green together - this olive embroidered tank was perfect with the orange linen shorts, I liked the way it draped. I did have to add a cover up on top as it was a little cold for bare arms and legs, so I went with this neutral white one.

Stuck with a big neutral bag too, this black Rebecca Minkoff tote had snacks and water bottles for a family fun day event with the kids, which we all really enjoyed.




What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Kmart black and white embellished cover up
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace 
TankSass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

This followed the same outfit formula as the one above, with this neon embroidered Sass and Bide tank paired with these fuchsia pink linen shorts. I thought the matching pinks were a fun combination, although when I looked back at the photos I wasn't too sure the embroidery on the white cover yup worked as well as I hoped with the print on the tank.

It was a much needed practical choice though. We had booked the kids in for a messy play morning but just as we were about to leave we got a call that it had been cancelled, and we decided to head out to the park instead, and treat ourselves to some lunch. Not quite the fun day we had planned, but a pretty good alternative. It was a really sunny day so I was very glad for this cover up over my shoulders!


Last worn: embroidered cover up, Tiffany necklace, Sass and Bide tank, fuchsia linen shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above).

Printed Tops and Black Skinny Jeans With Yellow Bag

Pairing some classic black skinny jeans with my cheerful yellow mini 5-zip bag and some colourful printed tops for some cooler spring days recently in Brisbane.


What I wore:

Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip bag with black skinny jeans | awayfromtheblue


Top: See by Chloe silk mixed print tassel top from Sheila's wardrobe
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

When Sheila sent me the beautiful bag she decorated she included a few pieces from her wardrobe she didn't want any more. I've already put a jacket to good use, and I decided to give this top a wear. It was a quiet day, helping in my son's classroom in the morning, the school run, working from home, and the library in the afternoon.

This is a silk top though and I found myself a bit worried a few times the day with messy kids (including my own) and the delicate silk, ha! I did so love wearing this though. The blue print I originally thought was leopard print is actually an abstract floral print, and it's so pretty with the print mixing stripes on the sleeves. I really liked the simplicity of the black jeans with this - I was definitely inspired from a previous way Sheila has worn this. One day I'll be brave enough to give print mixing a go!


Last worn: black Nobody Denim jeans, studded sandals, yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the top as it was a recent gift from Sheila.

Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

Trying yellow and orange again! I really like the combination, and just like the outfit above, the yellow bag pops against the black skinny jeans. I think the addition of this yellow bag helped stop the outfit looking too Halloween-ish with the orange leopard print and black jeans.

This was a really nice colourful jeans and tee outfit for a day of working from home and doing the school run. Every time I wear this tee I love it, I really should wear it more often!


Last worn: neon leopard print tee, pearl and tassel necklace, faded black skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Black skinny jeans can be a great outfit base for a colourful printed top and a bright bag, as they are a classic neutral.

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:

mustard yellow cardigan with green jeans brown printed tank and chloe ethel bag spring wfh style | awayfromblue

yellow and green outfit with Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
NecklaceRoie Designs long freshwater pearl necklace with tassel
Tank: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagChloe 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.

Chloe Small Ethel: Review and Contents






What I wore:

sass and bide printed neon magenta tank with skinny jeans converse grey cardigan chloe Ethel bag | awayfromblue

magenta pink jeans, printed tank, Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromtheblue


 
Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Happiness Boutique turquoise and coral pendant necklace (c/o)
TankSass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus black and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe 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.
 


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.
