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.

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.

Jeans, Colourful Cardigans and Peplum Tops

Adding extra colour to some peplum top and jeans outfits with cosy bright cardigans for autumn days back in May.


What I wore:

mustard cardigan with navy bird print tank grey nobody denim jeans MAM bag | awayfromblue

rebecca minkoff soft grey MAB mini bag worn on arm | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted SES Fashions mustard yellow cardigan
Necklace: silver heart long pendant necklace
Tank: Kmart navy bird print peplum frill hem tank
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 


Why I wore it:

I felt it had been a while since I'd last worn this awesome bird print peplum tank, and it was definitely due another wear, before the weather cools off too much and I stop wearing sleeveless tops like this as often. I thought this day was perfect for it, with the school run, volunteering in my son's classroom and working from home before a quick few errands before school pick up in the afternoon, and more errands and a library visit afterwards. It was a warmer day than I expected though, and I found myself taking my cardigan off for school pick up, as all the running around was making me regret the choice to layer up!

I really liked the mustard cardigan with the navy blue tank, and all the darker neutrals in the rest of my outfit. The grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag is an old favourite and perfect for fitting everything in it for a busy day! The silver heart necklace was a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the silver hardware on the bag, even though I don't think it was the best choice for this outfit, I'd been in a rush that morning and didn't have time to try too many options. And these grey Nobody Denim jeans go with everything!


Last worn: mustard cardigan, silver heart necklace, bird print peplum tank, grey Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM.

Wear and Tear: Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag





What I wore:

black tee and jeans together with blue accessories and bright red cardigan MAM bag | awayfromblue

red waterfall cardigan with grey rebecca minkoff mam mini mab bag | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Tee: thrifted black and white space dye peplum tee
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 


Why I wore it:

I deliberately picked bright pieces to add to this outfit! The space dye peplum tee was just different enough from the plain black Nobody denim skinny jeans for me to try the two together, but it all felt a bit muted. I added the blue Converse and turquoise beaded necklace for a little more colour. And the cosy red waterfall cardigan to ensure that my son didn't miss me in the crowd as I surprised him at his award ceremony at school.

This red waterfall cardigan is soo cosy though, and just like the day above, I regretted deciding to wear it a little in the afternoon and was overheating a bit in the hall, although I'd been perfectly cosy working from home. The day just heated up more than I expected! It did work for my son to spot me though, and the cardigan was easy to take off after, with the necklace and blue Converse shoes adding enough colour that I didn't feel too dull without the cardigan!


Last worn: red waterfall cardiganturquoise beaded necklace, space dye peplum tee, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM (above).

Other ways to wearred waterfall cardigan and monochrome outfit, space dye peplum tee and red jeans, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, blue Converse and denim skirtRebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancyRebecca Minkoff grey MAM in third trimester.



How You Can Wear It:

It's easy to add colour to a pair of dark grey or black jeans with a bright cardigan - and its a good way to layer up for cooler autumn mornings and evenings. A cardigan is easy to discard when the day warms up too, and folds up nicely into a big bag like the Rebecca Minkoff MAM.

Orange Tees, Navy Culottes And Converse

Two orange and blue shorts and tee outfits that look a lot brighter on my computer screen than they felt in person! No matter the shade, I love orange and navy together.


What I wore:


marigold orange tee with navy printed culotte shorts chloe paraty bag | awayfromblue summer mum outfit

navy printed culotte shorts with Chloe periwinkle small Paraty | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram | marigold orange tee with kmart navy printed culottes chloe paraty bag

NecklaceZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This was a particularly hot and humid day so shorts and a tee was perfect - especially a nice soft oversized tee like this marigold one and light and soft printed navy culotte shorts like these. My parents came over and gave me a new bike! They got it for free from their neighbour who didn't want it any more and both worked on it to get it cleaned up and safe for me to bike on. It's a gorgeous bike and I'm so excited! Looks just like this, the basket easily fits my bag and everyone's water bottles. Of course we had to go out for a bike ride right away for me to test it out. It wasn't the smoothest ride - the bike itself is super comfortable and a dream to ride - but the kids stop a lot and I spent most of the time waiting for them or jumping off to help them pedal along or up a hill, haha! It's nice to actually be able to bike along with them too though instead of just walking behind them on their bike rides. Looking forward to biking around more and using it to build up the strength in my knee. Haven't had a bike in years so I'm thrilled with this one.

I liked the bright orange tee with the navy printed culottes. Even though there is no orange in the print on the shorts, the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag and the blue Converse Chucks were enough extra matchy-matchy colour to make me happy. Great outfit and day!







What I wore:





orange v-neck tee with navy striped culotte shorts and rebecca minkoff MAM | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey  | awayfromtheblue

Necklace: thrifted blue multi stand long beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 


Why I wore it:

Shorts and tee are of course a mum staple and is the perfect outfit for the school run, working from home, and with the navy striped culotte shorts is dressy enough for an afternoon appointment for my son. I knew when I saw this pretty washed mango tee on the Cotton On site that I'd be wearing it with these navy culottes! I didn't know that my camera would make it look almost neon, haha! As you can see in the Insta pic it's more of a subdued orange - "washed summer mango" is both the official colour name and the perfect way to describe the colour!

I wasn't 100% happy with the necklace choice - I do like the navy with the orange tee but I think the necklace was a bit out of place with the tie on the navy striped culottes and I could have gone with something shorter. Being in a rush to get everyone up and ready and out for the school run before getting back home to log onto work though I went with this first choice necklace. Wasn't too bad, just not a combo I'd repeat again.

I did like the neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag with this outfit though - it really does go with everything. Even though I didn't need to carry too much on this day and could have gone with a smaller bag, it was easier using this one I'd already used previously and still not transferred my things out of.


Last worn: beaded necklace, navy stripe culottes, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM. First time I've worn the tee as it was a recent purchase.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and orange are an easy combo - no matter what shade of orange! If you have an orange tee, try it with a pair of navy shorts. Printed culottes can be great for adding even more colour to your outfit too.

V-Neck Tees, Printed Maxi Skirts and Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two simple printed maxi skirts and tee outfits, both featuring different shades of red and blue! And my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag that was definitely overdue a wear.


What I wore:

blue v-neck tee and red printed maxi skirt with grey Rebecca Minkoff mam bag |awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | blue v-neck tee and red printed maxi skirt


Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue (new purchase)
Skirtthrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 


Why I wore it:

Breaking the "weekday" part of the Weekday Wear Linkup as I wore this on the weekend, taking the kids out for a bike ride around our favourite trail and stopping off at the playground before going home for lunch. Wanted something cool as it was such a humid day - this breezy red thrifted maxi skirt was perfect and it gave me the change to wear my newly purchased blue v-neck tee. I really like the pale blue with the red printed maxi skirt. I wasn't sure if this necklace would get 'lost' with the blue tee but I think it worked well!

We weren't planning to be out too long with the heat so I just packed a couple of snacks and all our water bottles in my grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM. It holds a ton! Stuck with my comfortable yet not quite matching the outfit New Balance sneakers, as after aggravating my knee injury I needed the extra support for our trail walking.


Last worn: beaded necklace, red printed maxi skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAM. First time I've worn the blue v-neck tee as it was a recent purchase.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAM






What I wore:

navy stripe maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey | awayfromtheblue




Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey


Why I wore it:

With the reddish clay coloured tee and the navy printed maxi skirt this outfit is just a flipped version of the colours in the first one. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag again with this, as once I start using this bag it is really hard to swap it out for another one as it just fits everything I need, and being a neutral grey it goes with everything!

Picked a simple matchy-matchy necklace with the silver hardware on the bag and comfortable Converse shoes to add another touch of colour with my outfit. We had a busy day, being parent helper in my son's classroom in the morning, grabbing some groceries at Woolies and then a play in the park before the afternoon school pickup and sports in the evening.

The first time I wore this tee I paired it with black shorts and it worked well but I really liked it this time around with the navy striped maxi skirt more, so I'll need to wear it again with navy in the future!


Last worn: washed clay tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag (above).

Other ways to wearclay tee and shorts, navy stripe maxi skirt with yellow, Converse in monochrome outfit, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways bag

How You Can Wear It:
A plain block colour v-neck tee is a great wardrobe basic and works well with printed pieces in your wardrobe. A printed maxi skirt makes a nice summer outfit with a v-neck tee but feels a little more dressed up than a standard pair of shorts.

Striped Tees and Skull Scarves With Green Jeans

Two outfits with very similar formulas that look really different. Green skinny jeans, striped tees, skull scarves and cardigans for spending time outside with the boys.

What I wore:

navy stripe tee green skinny jeans cardigan skull scarf and nylon backpack walking trail outfit | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue | awayfromtheblue

bush trail walking outfit green skinny jens cardigan skull scarf nylon backpack baby bag | awayfromblue Instagram

Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
ScarfAlexander McQueen azure wool skull scarf
Tee: Jeanswest striped split hem tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Making the most of the nice weather during the school holidays, and also partly because hubby was still working from home and needed some quiet, I took the kids out to our fave walking trail. Picked because it's a really short and easy walk through the bush with beautiful views. It's under a kilometre too so I knew my injured knee could cope it it. Still wore my daggy but supportive running shoes anyway and I'm glad I did as we went off the trail a lot! We were out for hours finding "new" paths through the bush as the kids explored and I let them pick where we went. (Just a note that I know the track well, I always knew where we were and there are enough pointers around the landscape that a short walk in any direction would reorient you if you did get lost. A lot of the different paths we took were the old trail or accessing the trail from other directions so weren't just rushing off blindly. Be careful not to deviate from the trail unless you can do so safely.) My knee certainly started complaining that evening from all the extra walking!

I added the blue and teal skull scarf for a touch of colour with the navy stripe tee and the green skinny jeans. The scarf did come off quite quickly though as the day warmed up, I even considered taking the cardigan off a few times too. Keeping to the practical outfit I didn't take a bag of my own and just put my things and our water bottles and snacks in the Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack I use as a baby bag. Was a really fun morning out!






What I wore:

TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey (get it second hand)

Why I wore it:

This was another fun day outside! After a quick stop at the Saturday sale at the opshop we headed out to a local park with the boys, until they got hungry for lunch. I used my Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB instead of the baby bag as hubby was with us and could carry a backpack.

After the morning at the park, we spent the afternoon at yet another park for a playdate. Which didn't quite go according to plan...but luckily there was an entrepreneurial lady selling ice cream and taking advantage of the weekend crowds so we grabbed some ice cream and sat down on the beach enjoying the last of the sun's rays. As the kids got muddier and muddier running into the water 😂 Baths, a movie and an early dinner made it the perfect end to a hectic day.

I like this navy cardigan with the olive skinny jeans, especially as it matches the navy stripe tee.  I felt the outfit needed another layer as it was quite a windy day, this neutral taupe Alexander McQueen skull scarf was the perfect finishing touch. My knee was really sore by the end of the day though, Converse not as supportive for all the running around!


How You Can Wear It:


A skull scarf is a fun print mix with a stripe tee and jeans combo. You can go brighter like the first outfit with the blue and bold green skinny jeans, or stick with neutrals like the taupe, olive and navy second outfit.

Soft Pull On Shorts and Printed Kimonos With Rebecca Minkoff Bags

Again with two very similar outfit formulas, but different colour schemes! On hot and humid summer days these soft pull on shorts are the best, I'm surprised they haven't been worn as much this summer! It was nice wearing them on these wet but still hot days.

I just wish I could have worn different shoes, but these are the only shoes that make walking and driving bearable with my injured knee!

What I wore:

NecklaceJeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: MEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O
ShortsJeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

I recently wore those olive embroidered shorts with a navy tee, blue tie dye kimono and mustard yellow bag. I liked the colour combination so much I wanted to wear it again. I changed it up a little this time though, having the navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan satchel bag instead of the mustard one, and having the yellow kimono instead of a yellow bag. I wore this navy tank instead of the navy tee too, but wore the same turquoise tassel necklace.

Just as I did last time I wore these colours together, I really liked this outfit! It was a hot and humid day but thankfully the rain held off for the school drop off and pick up, and we were able to do all our errands at the closest shopping centre to enjoy the aircon and keep dry!

Why I wore it:

Another oh-so-comfortable and light pair of pull on shorts. These ones are black with a little white square print on them so I thought they would look great with the green duster kimono, with the white in the flower print. I really liked this combination.

Not as colourful as the outfit above, I stuck with a monochrome black outfit with the black tank and printed shorts, and a neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag. I thought that the green floral duster was enough extra interest with the outfit, especially with the print mixing with the shorts.

Again with these New balance shoes which are pretty much a staple here now. Any time I have tried to walk too far without them my injured knee has been in so much pain!

Pull On Shorts Under $50:




How You Can Wear It:

On a hot and humid day a pair of neutral pull on soft shorts like these olive and black pairs are perfect - no fussing with zips or buttons and incredibly comfortable all day. To mix it up a little you can add a kimono on top for a touch of colour or print mixing.

Striped Tops, Skinny Jeans, Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff MAB

A brief period of warmer weather near the end of winter last month had me ditching some of the layers and going without a jacket or cardigan. Still with longer sleeves though! These striped 3/4 length sleeve tops were overdue a wear.

A stripes and denim outfit combination is always a winner, and great for stay at home mum days.

What I wore:

burgundy striped tee with grey skinny jeans, feather embroidered scarf, RM MAM bag and red suede flats | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Inastagram | SAHM Style spring striped tee with feather embroidered scarf skinny jeans and rebecca minkoff MAM bag
Scarf: grey and gold embroidered feather scarf
DressAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
JeansJeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs suede flats in red
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

This top has been badly overlooked all winter - it's a favourite for me, it's nice and thick and so cosy on the cooler days. I decided to let the top be the star and keep everything else neutral, with the grey skinny jeans, grey Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag and my fun grey feather embroidered scarf.

I couldn't decide what shoes to wear with this until I remembered my little red suede ballet flats. I love these shoes but so rarely wear them as I tend to go for neutral shoes instead. Even though the red of the shoes is a different shade from the burgundy stripes on the tee, I thought it was a fun combination and really enjoyed wearing this! Simple outfit for a day with the boys, running a few errands and visiting the library and playground.

5 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Grey MAM Bag







What I wore:

blue and green outfit with Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue Instagram | SAHM style with cobalt shawl and green skinny jeans
ScarfLouis Vuitton monogram shawl in bleu
TopJeanswest 'Marina' stripe henley
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy morning! Swimming lessons, attending the Lion King Ooshies swap day and then an appointment, all before lunch, phew! Wanted something simple so went with this classic striped Henley and my green skinny jeans. I like navy with these green jeans, and the stripes go so well with it. Added in a bolder bright blue with the cosy cobalt Louis Vuitton shawl too, which helped keep me warm in the cooler morning before the temperatures heated up.

With the bright scarf and jeans together, I went with a neutral bag and shoes. These silver ballet flats go with everything and the Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag in grey is a wardrobe staple, which was big enough to fit my things in, some things for the boys and of course our Lion King toys for the swap day.

The swap day was a little hectic, but I thought it would be fun for the boys to go to swap some of the extra toys they had after they completed their collection. They swapped with others to pick some new toys for them to play with and to let the others complete their collections. I was proud of how they behaved and shared and swapped. They came home and immediately started playing 'swap day' with the toys they had so I know they enjoyed the experience!

Striped 3/4 Length Tops Under $50:




How You Can Wear It:

A striped top with longer sleeves is great for days when you don't need or want an extra jacket or cardigan over the top. You can keep it simple and wear a bright striped top with neutral jeans, or add more colour with some bright jeans instead. Either way, you can't go wrong with a classic stripes and jeans combo!
