Magnificent 8 - Simply Red

I had the hardest time coming up with outfits to share for this quarter's Magnificent 8. I was just overwhelmed with choice! We decided to feature red as it's a great power colour, but I have so much red in my wardrobe. Even though I've been wearing a lot of pink lately, I have no shortage of red things to wear. In the end I went with the most red thing I own, a dress, and then a second outfit with just a couple pops of red from accessories.


What I wore:




Earrings: neutral clay disc earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day, but so hot! We headed out to try out a new park and have lunch with my family and my aunt who was visiting the coast recently. The new park was wonderful, so many different play spaces and things for the kids to enjoy! It was really good spending time with the family too, even if the park was so popular we had to wait a little to use the BBQ and cook lunch.

Knew this Kmart tiered dress would be perfect for the heat - it's nice and light for hot days, and there was a lovely breeze to keep us cool. I did wonder if this dress quite made the theme for the Magnificent 8 prompt, as it's more coral than a true red, but I decided it was close enough!

The sandals were a must have with the warm weather, and the Louis Vuitton Neverfull is always a practical choice to load up with water bottles for a BBQ in the park.


Last worn: clay earrings, Kmart coral tiered midi dress, yellow tassel necklace, gladiator sandals, Louis Vuitton MM neverfull.

What I wore:




ScarfAlexander McQueen red skull-print modal and cashmere-blend scarf
TankCotton On 'eternity' tank in charcoal marle
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack and red gem bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red


Why I wore it:

This was a much more neutral outfit than the one above, before I added all the red accessories to it. If wearing a lot of a power colour seems like too much, there is always accessories to let you add a touch of it to your outfit!

This grey tank and cute ruffle hem leopard print skirt were a great neutral base to my outfit, especially with the studded sandals. I knew the red saddle bag would be great against them, and it's roomier than it looks! I had all the essentials plus a book in there as while I was working from home, I had an appointment to attend before picking the kids up from school.

Echoed the reds and browns with the bracelet stack, but still felt this outfit was missing a little something, so added the red Alexander McQueen skull print scarf. I like print mixing with these skull scarves, even if I only wore the scarf for the school drop off in the morning, as the weather warmed up so quickly it wasn't needed later in the afternoon.


Last worn: red skull scarf, grey tank, Target animal print skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag.

Blue Tops, Pink Scarves, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two different blue and pink outfits with skinny jeans and cosy cardigans. Both outfits feature a scarf for a bright pop of pink.


What I wore:


thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Scarf: thrifted pink ombre tassel scarf
TankCle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I threw this top on after it was delivered the day before - probably should have ironed it, can still see those new from packet creases, ha! But it was the perfect block colour piece to wear with this fun leopard print cardigan, and super comfortable with the grey jeans. I was just working from home and doing the school run, but added a little warmth and colour with the pink ombre scarf that I thrifted recently.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, pink ombre scarf, blue tank, grey skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Other ways to wearleopard print cardigan and pink jeans, pink ombre scarf with black and white outfit, blue tank with greengrey skinny jeans worn 30 ways, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid and printed jeans.

What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Jeans:  thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

With the navy tee, navy cardigan and the faded black skinny jeans, this was a bit of a darker outfit than the one above. I thought that the pink and white Alexander McQueen skull scarf was a nice way to lighten up the outfit a little with that pop of pink and the white background. Again I went with my Converse sneakers and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, that has been a firm go-to for me since I thrifted it recently. Nice and easy jeans and tee outfit for my sons playdate.

Leather Jackets And Dresses

Making these two dresses suitable for winter temperatures with the black leather jacket I recently bought at Gladrags Markets. The first outfit, I wore this month and could go bare legged, the second I wore back in July when it was a lot colder and fleece lined tights were a must!


What I wore:

Target puff sleeve tiered denim dress, leather jacket and skull scarf | awayfromblue

thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen magenta skull scarf in roses print
Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings
DressTarget puff sleeve tiered denim dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! Spent some time with my mum and sister in the morning, getting haircuts (just a trim for me, as I'm still desperately trying to grow my hair out to donate again) and doing some dress shopping for an upcoming event.

Unfortunately the traffic coming back from up the coast made me a little late for dinner with some mum friends in the evening. I wasn't sure how long I'd be down the coast for so dressed for both things in case I didn't have time to change, thankfully. I didn't need the leather jacket for most of the day but I was so grateful for it at night, as it and the skull scarf kept me warm. 


Last worn: black leather jacket, skull scarf, earrings, tiered denim dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to wearblack leather jacket and skirt, skull scarf and stripes, tiered denim dress and red, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag in the office.

Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

A super cold morning meant layering up this little light pastel floral print viscose babydoll dress a bit for the school run and some errands. With the black fleece lined tights, black ankle boots and the black leather jacket and dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag, I feel the pretty pastel floral print on this dress stands out really well. I added a little bit of matching with the floral print with my daisy earrings, although the colours are completely different I liked the additional florals against all the dark black.


Last worn: daisy earrings (above), leather jacket (above), Tiffany necklace, pastel floral dress, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above).

Printed Scarves, Cosy Knits, Sneakers and Jeans

Layering up in some cosy knits and printed scarves recently, and wearing a few more of the pieces I added to my wardrobe in July.


What I wore:




Earrings: blue and yellow daisy resin earrings (new purchase)
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl mixed print polka dots and stripes scarf
Knit: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Jeans: thrifted Atmos&Here white straight leg jeans
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I am sure I've worn this scarf before but have had no luck finding it on the blog. I do have quite a few Fashion Scarf girl scarves to look through though! With the cobalt knit and these white jeans, I felt the outfit needed a little extra something, and this blueish grey scarf with the white stripes and polka dots was the perfect mixed print.

Nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, and then a quick errand in the afternoon after school pick up.


Last worn: cobalt knit, white jeans, Sketchers sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bagFirst time I've worn the earrings as they were a recent purchase from the markets.

Other ways to wearcobalt knit and maxi skirt, white jeans with red, Sketchers sneakers and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and dress.

Jumper: Jeanswest 'Serena' ombre knit
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! there were a few things on in the city for the weekend so the kids and I took a little trip. Managed to stop by my new office too and show them some of the sights, you get a good view of Brisbane from there!

As we had a lot of walking around to do I went with the Sketchers sneakers again! Nice and simple and comfortable for exploring the city with the kids.

I wasn't sure at first if the different burgundy shades in the scarf and jeans would work well together, but I'm glad I gave this a try as I really liked this outfit. Just like the one above, jeans and a jumper is so simple, and with a little extra print or colour form a scarf it helped me feel more pulled together.


Last worn: burgundy feather foil scarf, daisy earrings (above), ombre knit, burgundy jeans, Sketchers (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Magnificent 8 In Maxi Skirts And Dresses

This quarter's Magnificent 8 themed post is maxi skirts and dresses, which I have no shortage of in my wardrobe! Despite it being winter here in Brisbane, I still get my maxi skirts out now and then. While they are worn most often in the warmer weather, I can easily layer them up for our snow free winters.


What I wore:


Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
TeeAtmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I did actually wear this back in June, when it was a little warmer as it was just the first month of winter. I really like this lightweight maxi skirt on hot days, but in cooler weather it needs a few more layers. Ankle boots were a must! With the gorgeous ochre shade of the skirt, I've enjoyed wearing different colours of burgundy with it lately, so this white and burgundy striped long sleeved tee was the perfect accompaniment with it, and the denim jacket was a good layer. I definitely needed the jacket for the cooler weather of the school run, but in the afternoon when we had an appointment after school, I was able to go without the jacket and still be warm enough.

It had been a while since I'd worn this cute turquoise Balenciaga first bag, so I got it out again. I love how it looks with the orange skirt, and with only the school run, working from home, and an appointment in the afternoon, I didn't need to carry much so this was a great size.


Last worn: denim jacket, circle necklace, burgundy stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, tan ankle boots, Balenciaga turquoise first bag.

My Balenciaga Handbag Collection






What I wore:


Balenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket
ScarfJeanswest Lucille golden yellow scarf
Tee: Jeanswest Ruby frill sleeve Ric Rac detailed tee in deep iris
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagBalenciaga part time in black 2010 with SGH


Why I wore it:

This was a much colder day than the one above, so warmer layers were needed! Instead of ankle boots, I went with Converse under my maxi skirt, as I had a little break during my work from home day to go cheer my son on in his sporting event. Needed comfortable shoes for a lot of standing around. With the navy tee, grey striped maxi skirt, and the black leather jacket, this outfit was cosy, but a bit dull for cheering on my son. I added the mustard scarf, as yellow and blue always look so good together and I thought it would help my son spot me in the crowd! It worked well for that.

Unlike the outfit above, I went with a classic black bag this time, my Balenciaga part time bag with giant silver hardware. I had my camera as well as a water bottle. It was quite a windy day so I appreciated the thick leather jacket keeping me warm as I stood on the side lines. And when I went back to working from home, the jersey maxi skirt and navy tee were such a comfortable outfit.

Jeans and Jumper Outfits With Striped Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Bag

It's turning into regular winter weather in Brisbane, where knits are becoming a staple for me! I've paired both of these thrifted knits with some other more recent opshop finds, for some working from home and school run days.


What I wore:


thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue | awayfromblue


Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings (new purchase)
Scarf:  Fashion Scarf Girl black and white thick and thin mix print scarf
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue (new purchase)


Why I wore it:

The tiny little red dinosaur skeleton earrings are hard to see in these pics but they are oh so cute! I stumbled across them at the opshop the same time I saw this beautiful vintage cupid bag, and I knew my boys would love them. I liked the little pop of red it added to the burgundy knit, even if it doesn't stand out in photos that much.

The burgundy knit was perfect for the early morning school run and staying cosy while working from home. I added the scarf to add a little more interest to the outfit, but but the afternoon, we had a couple of errands to run after school, and I'd decided the scarf wasn't needed after all. I did like the mixed stripes against the burgundy, it just warmed up a lot that afternoon!


Last worn: wine knit, striped scarf, grey skinny jeans, Adidas superstar sneakersFirst time I've worn the dinosaur earrings and Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag as they are recent opshop finds.

What I wore:

Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl zesty stripe tassel scarf in pink
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue (new purchase)


Why I wore it:

Another thrifted knit, striped scarf and jeans combination! It is just so comfortable for working from home and for doing the school drop off and pick up! While this cobalt knit is a nice way to add some colour to the faded black skinny jeans, the pink and red stripes in the scarf were such a fun pop against the cobalt I couldn't resist picking this scarf to add a little more colour. Unlike the scarf in the first outfit too, this one was needed all day to keep me warm.

Again I went with sneakers, as we had a couple errands to run after school pick up.


Last worn: striped scarf, cobalt knit, faded black jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff cupid bag (above).

Autumn Florals With Grey Jeans and Converse

Grey skinny jeans and Converse outfits for autumn. Both outfits featuring double floral prints thanks to the cute floral painting on my little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and the extra layers I added.


What I wore:




JacketCotton On 'Gemma' cocoon kimono in Laos blossom navy print
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
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 wasn't a particularly cold autumn day, but I still wanted to get this cosy floral print cocoon cover up to wrap around me for comfort, for a few errands and a trip to the dentist. Surprisingly I haven't worn this purple tee with it before, I really like navy and purple together! With the grey jeans and black Converse it was quite a dark outfit, but I thought that the little personalised Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag was a nice way to lighten it up. And I knew my dentist would admire the bag! She's the sweetest and always has a little chat to get me comfortable before I sit in the chair - she of course loved the florals!





What I wore:





ScarfFashion Scarf Girl pretty pink floral tassel scarf (c/o)
Tank: Jeanswest Maji metallic tank in soft green and silver
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

It was a cooler morning so I picked a really thick scarf to add a little warmth to my simple silver tank and grey jeans outfit for a playdate my son had. I liked the extra colour this brought to the outfit, it was a bit monochromatic without the bag and the scarf adding a little floral colour and print. I had to take the scarf off in the afternoon though, it warmed up too much!

My son had a great time at the playdate though and even braved our friend's pool, although I certainly wasn't joining him, even if it was starting to warm up that afternoon.


Last worn: silver tank, floral print scarf, Nobody Denim grey jeans, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff personalised mini MAB tote bag (above).

Leather Jackets and Maxi Skirts

Just like in Monday's post, I took advantage of the cooler temperatures to wear another winter piece, my leather jackets, before it's too far into spring to enjoy them! Wearing both of my black leather jackets with some comfortable maxi skirts, and Chloe bags.


What I wore:

black leather jacket purple tee and black maxi skirt with chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut worn over the shoulder with black leather jacket | awayfromtheblue


JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

Wore this for Father's day and I absolutely loved this outfit! Not too impressed with the photos, this slouchy tee always looks so rumpled in the pics, but it is super soft and the deep purple/burgundy shade was nice with the black leather jacket and the black maxi skirt. I thought pairing the black leather jacket with the black skirt would bring out the print on the jacket a little more, but it's still as subtle as ever!

This was the perfect outfit for a bit of an overcast day. Luckily our plans for the day weren't derailed by the rain - I took hubby and the kids to Australia's biggest retro arcade for Father's Day. It was a surprise for the kids too as I knew if I'd told them where we were going they would have been too excited to not tell their Dad! 😂 All the machines were free play, so we just had to pay an entry fee and then unlimited games. We ended up spending so much time there, definitely good value for money!

Took my Chloe Marcie bag so I could have some snacks for the kids and our water bottles, it's such a big bag for that.


Last worn: printed leather jacket, spiral earrings, burgundy tee, gold charm necklace, black maxi skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers.

Other ways to wearblack printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, burgundy tee over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and pink dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans.

Wardrobe Tour & Handbag Storage:






What I wore:



leather jacket, skull scarf, pink tee and grey pinstripe maxi skirt winter outfit | awayfromblue

awayfromblue chloe small periwinkle paraty bag and grey maxi skirt | awayfromblue


JacketJeanswest black leather moto jacket
ScarfAlexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This day was a bit colder and a lot less fun than the weekend at the arcade above! Wore a plain black leather jacket this time, with the grey pinstripe maxi skirt that I felt hadn't been worn in a while and was due another wear. I like pink and grey together so this pink tee was an obvious choice, although I did cover most of it up with the blue Alexander McQueen scarf! I thought the scarf was a nice compliment with the periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag though, even if the shades don't match exactly.

After the school drop off I had an appointment in the morning, working from home, then picking the kids up and taking them to an appointment for my son in the afternoon. Busy day!
 


How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts are great for cooler days as they keep your legs covered up. They are so easy to layer too, with leggings underneath on really cold winter days, and a leather jacket and maybe even a scarf on top to stay cosy.
