SAHM Style: Jeanswest Prima Denim Skinny Jeans Casual Winter Outfits

I've been wearing my skinny jeans a fair bit to get through Winter! My newest prima denim ones are definitely my favourites, stretchy and comfortable and cosy. They are a nice easy option for being a stay-at-home mum.




First, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is on now! I'm doing #noBuyJuly15 so I'm not shopping this time around, but thought I'd share the sale with you - in case you haven't already read about it on every other blog ;)



Starting now and until July 9th, early access has started for Nordstrom cardholders. It then opens up to the public from July l7th, but it only lasts until 2nd August! If you are not a card holder, you can still browse the sale and get your wishlist together, although you can't buy anything until it's open to the public on the 17th. I'll be sure to post about it again then so you can buy something.




What I wore:

SAHM Style Print mixing Skinny jeans striped top Marc by Marc Jacobs galaxy stargazer scarf

Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs Stargazer scarf in aquamarine (on sale in black and white!!)
TopAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Jeans: Jeanswest Bindi skinny 7/8 jeans in indigo luxe
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey


Why I wore it:

Wore this out to playgroup some time ago - this was actually when I left my scarf behind! The photos got accidentally hidden away on my computer, so I'm quickly posting them now before I lose them again. Having posts scheduled in advance means I don't have to copy the outfit photos from my camera as much as I did pre-baby, when I was blogging what I wore that day and the day before. It means I can accidentally miss pictures when I'm trying to pull a blog post together though, as they can sit there for a few days and get hidden in all the baby and puppy pictures I take as well!

Had been wanting to wear this red striped top for a while, and I thought the printed scarf was nice against it for a slight bit of print mixing. Converse were comfortable and practical for running around the playground with baby too.


Last worngalaxy print scarf, striped top, skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.

Other ways to wearcolourful galaxy print scarf with a monochrome outfit, striped tee in the third trimester, skinny jeans in autumn for a day at home, Converse and denim shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag with maxi dresses.







What I wore:

Casual SAHM Winter style grey embellished jumper black prima denim jeanswest skinny jeans

Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC with black skinny jeans
ScarfAlexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
KnitWarehouse grey bead front jumper
JeansJeanswest prima denim super skinny jeans in absolute black
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (new purchase)
Bag:  Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale here!)


Why I wore it:

This felt like a slightly more dressed up than usual day care drop off/pick up / work from home outfit. I think it's the red scarf with the neutral outfit. I tend to view scarves as accessories that help make something look more pulled together. A cosy and comfortable outfit too.

As I was sitting at the computer working most of the day with just a little bit of driving around with baby T, I thought it would be a great time to break in my new shoes. I mentioned when I got them that I'd bought them as replacements for an old pair of black ballet flats I had. The old ones just didn't seem to be as comfortable post-pregnancy as they were before it. Maybe I stretched them out too much in pregnancy with my swollen feet, haha. I'm getting much tougher on my shoes and I only want to keep ones that are comfortable for an entire day with baby and all the running around that requires. I think these new ones will be perfect.

The only thing that wasn't ideal about this outfit was the black jeans - we had a tradie round to do some work in the morning and it was a bit dusty, black pants were not the best pick. Probably just not the best day to have the tradie over at all actually, he seemed to have a fondness for using power tools whenever I was trying to speak on a conference call!


Last worn: beaded jumper, skinny jeans, red skull scarf, silver mini MAC bag. First time I've worn the shoes as they are a new purchase.

Other ways to wear: embellished jumper with a jacquard skirt, skinny jeans and a sleeveless top, Alexander McQueen skull scarf in summer, mini MAC with a maxi dress.

  2. Be strong, Mica! We'll get through this! (I am NOT clicking that sale link, I'm not, I'm not) I was explaining No Buy July to a workmate today and she just gave me a LOOK and said "Why are you doing it now when all the sales are on?" WHY INDEED??

    In other news, that beaded jumper is super cute.

    1. I think your workmate has the right idea! I thought it would be clever to avoid the sales but didn't realise just how difficult it would be avoiding so many. They are everywhere!

    I like the red striped top with that printed scarf, and of course the RM bag - which I always confuse with a Chanel-.

  13. I soooo want to click on that sale and I know every part of me will regret it. haha. You can never go wrong with a striped top. One of my go to weekend looks. I totally now what you mean about black jeans. Seems like every time I wear mine I brush against the car or something dusty and I'm covered in dust.

    Have a lovely weekend Mica! (:

  14. There's a new NARS palette I'm trying to resist. LOL It's not on sale, just being released early through the Nordstrom Sale. I think I'll skip it because it's nothing extraordinary. I'm putting a list of things I want for Sephora's November sale. LOL You have the best skinny jean collection Mica. Love that striped top you paired with your jeans above. That silver and black is always a pretty color combination.

  16. Your philosophy about scarves is the same as mine. They just add a nice finishing touch to an outfit--a pop of color too like your red pair. I have def heard of the Nordstrom sale and already put in an order. Although I was very good. I did order yet another pair of Born booties because I'm determined to find a flat pair that comfortable enough to walk in all day on cooler days where I don't want to have to wear full boots. That and 4 bras! There are only two bras that come in my weird size and they sell at Nordstrom. They were both on sale for $20 off each so I decided to restock! I'll probably return one of the nude ones, I'm just comparing the two.

    1. You did well only getting the essentials in the sale! I always start looking at accessories and before I know it I have a cart full of things I didn't know I needed until I looked at the sale, haha!

  25. No buy July. Well I broke that one right o the first day of July and every day since. I've been on a bit of spree lately and while I'm bringing in the new I'm tossing out the old and unworn. I need to take a bit of a breath I think, my spending has gotten a little crazy while I search for an uber cool leather jacket. I keep finding everything but it.

  26. If you can get through No Buy July in sale season, you can get through anything! I am in the UK and the sales are ah-mazing so obviously I can't buy into No Buy July! You always look stylish whatever you wear! I love all these looks but the red stripy top is my favourite! x

  33. I really like the color combination of the second outfit. The grey of the jumper works extremely well with the red of the scarf. The beads give the whole thing a fancy touch. Plus I love the silver bag!

    Have a great week!
