Blue And Green Shorts Tee Duster Outfits

I really like wearing blue and green together! I definitely don't agree with the "blue and green should never be seen" saying! Both these shorts and tee outfits feature different shades of blue and green together.


What I wore:






Jacket: Jeanswest Delilah long line kimono in green floral
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tee: black textured crew neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! We headed out to join in a science walk for Brisbane's Big Butterfly Count. The kids had a great time running around with their nets catching and identifying a bunch of different insects. We caught a few dragonflies along with the butterflies, and it was so interesting learning about them from the entomologist that joined us. Although I'm sure that we double caught some butterflies a few times, as the kids kept running backwards and forwards and as soon as one was released someone else was on its tail!

Needed a good practical outfit for a bush walk on a warm day, shorts and tee and sneakers were perfect. This black tee and denim Bermuda shorts felt a bit plain, even with the yellow necklace adding a little colour. So I added the green floral duster on top. Good for extra sun coverage and a little more colour. The cobalt Rebecca Minkoff Julian bag really pops against the green duster, and it was a good size for carrying all our water bottles.


Last worn: green floral duster, black textured tee, yellow necklace, Bermuda denim shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.

What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted no label tropical print tassel cover up
Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
Bagvintage original Rebecca Minkoff 5-zip in faded electric blue


Why I wore it:

I had a shorter work day, just working from home, because as well as the school run I had an appointment in the afternoon. Even had time for a super quick browse of my local opshop before picking up the kids.

Just like in the outfit above, I wanted to be comfortable. I haven't worn these olive embroidered shorts for a while but they are such a great piece as olive goes with so much. I really liked the navy tee with them, and then I added more green and blue with the brighter palm print cover up. I added yet another shade of blue with the electric blue Rebecca Minkoff 5 zip bag also. I liked all these different shades of blue and green together.


Last worn: palm print cover up, heart charm necklace, navy tee, olive embroidered shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff electric blue 5 zip bag.

Printed Dresses and Polene Bag

Two easy outfits for working from home days, just throwing on printed dresses and adding a little extra colour with my lilac Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace layered with Tiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

It was a busy day with a couple of errands and the school run to be fit in alongside working from home. I just wanted a simple outfit so reached for this dress I thrifted a while back for $1. Definitely getting good value from it! A pretty floral print dress like this is an easy instant outfit. I just added the slides I got for Christmas that I've been wearing on repeat, a couple of layered Tiffany necklaces to match the silver bracelets on my wrist, and then the lilac Polene bag for a little extra colour and because I didn't need to carry much. I really like the lilac numero neuf mini bag against the pinks and pastel floral print of the dress.


Last worn: floral print dress, Tiffany notes necklace, Tiffany heart pendant necklace, tan slides, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearfloral print dress and blazer, tan slides and denim skirt, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and leopard print.






What I wore:



Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

The first days of autumn in Brisbane are still pretty hot, so I wanted something light to wear. This Kmart little black tiered sundress is a favourite for hot days like this was. It was perfect for staying cool and comfortable while working from home, and taking the kids for a haircut after school pickup in the afternoon.

Navy Havaianas as I needed something easy and we weren't walking far. With the black dress though, even adding the little magenta and gold marble necklace didn't quite brighten this outfit up enough, so I wore my Polene Numero Neuf mini bag again. I loved the way the lilac stood out against the black printed background of the dress. It's not the first time I've worn a pastel bag with this little black dress, I really like the combination!


Last worn: marble necklace, Kmart tiered sundress, Havaianas, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Pink and Leopard Print Outfits With Sorbet Balenciaga City Bag

Two different outfits for working from home days with added appointments thrown in. Both featuring pink and leopard print, a combination I really enjoy wearing! And my pretty sorbet pink Balenciaga city bag that was due another wear.


What I wore:





Jacket: thrifted no label leopard print cover up with waist tie
Necklace: mixed metal hammered pendant necklace
Tee:  Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and easy outfit for the school run, working from home, and a physio appointment. Again, I went for shorts and tee, which has become a go-to outfit formula for me this year!

It's not the first time I've worn this leopard print cover up with pink, I really like the combination. But it's the first time I've worn this awesome super-soft pink tee with it. With the print from the cover up, plain shorts were needed and these cuffed distressed denim shorts go with everything.


Last worn: leopard print cover up, gold and silver necklace, pale pink teedistressed denim shorts, Sketchers, Balenciaga sorbet city bag.

Other ways to wearleopard print cover up and teal, pale pink tee and jeans, distressed denim shorts and stripes, Sketchers and printed shorts, Balenciaga sorbet city bag worn 30 ways.

What I wore:





Necklace: Kmart black and gold double strand beaded necklace 
TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual plus faux pearl and gold beaded bracelet stack
BagBalenciaga RH classic city in 2010 sorbet


Why I wore it:

This was a very hot and humid day so I reached for this light skirt. It's a fun leopard print and it's great in the heat and humidity! Also nice and comfortable for the school run, working from home, a bit of driving around to take my son to an appointment, and the library after school. Big day!

I liked the simplicity of the ombre tee with the leopard skirt, I felt this outfit didn't need very much so I just added this little double strand beaded necklace and again my sorbet Balenciaga city bag. I like the different shades of pink together, with the ombre tee and the brighter pink on the Balenciaga bag.


Last worn: ombre pink tee, beaded necklace, leopard print skirt, tan slides, Balenciaga sorbet city bag (above).

Black and Grey Office Pencil Skirt Outfits With Lilac Polene Numero Neuf Mini Bag

Just like last week, sharing a couple more neutral black and grey outfits I wore into the office. Paired both of these grey pencil skirts with some black tees and then added a little colour with my lilac purple Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart short sleeve cotton modal tee in black
SkirtAtmos&Here grey marle jersey pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

It was nice wearing this stretchy knit pencil skirt again! It was a firm staple pre-pandemic, and being a nice stretchy jersey it's incredibly comfortable to wear. Don't know why it hasn't hit 30 wears yet! I am starting to delve into the "workwear" area of my wardrobe more often with dressing for the office now so hopefully it will hit that figure soon. It goes well with anything, but keeping it simple for this day at work I wore it with the plain black tee (an opshop find) and a little matchy-matchy with the black Converse too.

Although the mauve Polene numero neuf mini bag is not quite the same shade of lilac as the statement necklace, I really like the two accessories together and the little extra colour they added to this otherwise neutral monochromatic outfit.


Last worn: black modal tee, lilac statement necklace, grey jersey pencil skirt, black Converse, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag.

Other ways to wearblack modal tee and midi skirt, grey jersey pencil skirt and blazer, black Converse and shorts, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag with dress.

Perfect for pregnancygrey jersey pencil skirt in third trimesterConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
TeeAtmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesAdidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:

Incredibly similar outfit to the one above, just with slightly messier hair as my straightener broke that morning which is not ideal when you're already pushed for time to get out the door! Much like the grey jersey pencil skirt above, this textured Target pencil skirt is becoming a staple and I feel I almost wear it weekly! It's great for in the office and I know I'll continue to wear it as the weather cools as it's a lovely thick cosy textured fabric.

I kept the necklace matching the colour scheme of my outfit this time with the black and silver necklace, but still had my little lilac Polene numero neuf mini bag for a touch of colour. It just works so well in a neutral outfit like the two in these posts!


Last worn: black v-neck tee, clover necklace, textured pencil skirt, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag (above).

Other ways to wearblack v-neck tee and jeans, textured pencil skirt with green, Adidas Superstar sneakers and dress, Polene Numero Neuf mini bag and shorts.

Blue Shorts and Tee Outfits With Pink MAB Crossbody Bag

Sticking with a colour combination I love for these shorts and tee outfits, wearing tonal blue with my little dusty pink Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag as a pop of colour.


What I wore:




Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Felt like wearing a lot of blue on this day! I had the school run, a physio appointment, and working from home before school pickup in the afternoon. As it was another hot day, shorts and tee was a sensible choice! Wore my Sketchers sneakers for practicality with the physio appointment too.

I really liked the pastel blue of the tee with the navy striped belted linen shorts, but I felt this outfit was missing something, so I added the Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag for a bit of extra colour. While it's a lighter pink, I really like this bag with blue and I feel this made the outfit a lot better. I loved it.


Last worn: pastel blue tee, Tiffany necklace, striped linen shorts, Sketchers, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wearpastel blue tee and skirt, striped linen shorts and cardigan, Sketchers and dress, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag with black outfit.






What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the first outfit above so much, I created a very similar outfit the next day! It was yet another humid day, so the linen shorts were good in the heat, and also a practical choice. We had a kid's DIY class at Bunnings in the morning and then in the afternoon we went to go get some puppy cuddles. Wanted something that would be comfortable for both these events and shorts and tee were perfect. It's a mum staple for a reason!

Again I wore the little MAB studded crossbody bag, it looks just as good with the turquoise and navy as it did in the pastel blue and navy outfit above. I added the pastel pink necklace for a little matchy-matchy, but the pink on the necklace is a lot lighter and doesn't show up in photos as well. I still liked wearing the accessories together.


Last worn: navy tee, statement necklace, linen shorts, tan slides, Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag (above).

Textured Pencil Skirt Office Outfits

Two office outfits with textured pencil skirts and some fun prints. I feel with the mostly neutral colour schemes these are a bit plain and they aren't my favourite outfits, but they did work for recent office days.


What I wore:




EarringsMimco silver stud earrings 
Tank: Target ruffle sleeve dog print blouse
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus purple Salvatore Ferragamo 'Vara' leather bow bracelet
BagBalenciaga raisin purple 2009 giant silver G21 hardware work bag


Why I wore it:

I decided that with the fun dachshund print on this blouse that a necklace would be too much, but looking at the photos this felt a bit plain. Even with the big purple Balenciaga work bag!

This blouse is one I haven't worn in quite a while, and I decided to give it a final wear to see if it would be a keeper in my wardrobe. Definitely not a keeper, but my colleague mentioned she really liked it and wanted to use the pattern (she makes her own clothes) so I'm going to pass it on to her.

I think the purple bracelet and purple Balenciaga work bag didn't add enough to this outfit, maybe I should have added some more statement making earrings with this to make up for not adding a necklace. Not something I'll be wearing again as I'm passing the top onto my colleague now. 


Last worn: Mimco silver studs, dachshund print blouse, grey textured pencil skirt, purple Ferragamo bow bracelet, Converse, Balenciaga purple work bag.

Other ways to weardachshund print blouse and jeans, grey textured pencil skirt and blouse, Converse and maxi skirt, Balenciaga purple work bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: Converse in second trimester.





What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Top: thrifted Cotton on grey tunic tee
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Wasn't such a fan of this outfit either! It feels a bit plain. Even with the fun textured polka dot pencil skirt, I think this outfit was also lacking some colour. I did add a necklace to this one, but with the grey tunic top I think a bright and colourful necklace would have been better than this black and silver one.

It was good to wear my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag again too, an opshop find from last year. I love it. I just think, like in the outfit above, that this was missing something and it's not a combination of pieces I would wear again. An okay outfit for the office, but not something I enjoyed as much. I can tell I was in a rush in the morning putting this together!


Last worn: grey tunic top, clover necklace, polka dot pencil skirt, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to weargrey tunic top and shorts, polka dot pencil skirt in winter, silver ballet flats and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag with stripes.

Cardigans, Converse and Colourful Jeans With Striped Tees And Yellow Bags

Proper autumn weather in Brisbane meant getting out my knits and jeans! I have quite a collection of colourful jeans, and I like them as an alternative to the traditional blue denim. While both of these outfits are very different colours, I like the fun yellow bags with both.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On orange and white stripe The One crew neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

This was a busy day! While there was the usual routine of the school run and working from home for me, we had a few errands to run in the afternoon, and we had a big makeover of the stick insect enclosures at home that evening. That was the only time I regretted wearing this cute grey cardigan, as the ties on it kept getting tangled up in the branches and leaves! It was just the perfect light weight for the rest of the day, just got a bit messy at home that evening!

I think this is the first time I've tried the trio of orange and pink and yellow together. I really like yellow and pink together, the mustard bag looks so good with the magenta jeans. I thought the orange striped tee would be a fun touch with the magenta, but you really don't notice it too much. It made this colourful trio a lot more easy to wear, it didn't feel too bold!


Last worn: grey wrap cardigan, orange stripe tee, marble necklace, magenta Sass and Bide jeans, white Converse, mustard micro Regan bag.

Ways to Wear Colourful Bags:





What I wore:


green jeans with  Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip  | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip 


Why I wore it:

I needed this cosy black cocoon cardigan in the morning, but later in the day it had warmed up enough that I didn't need it! I left it in the car when I took a little break from working from home to go see my son get an award at school in the afternoon. While the green jeans and the yellow bag are quite a bright combination, the navy striped tee was a good neutral. 

Looking at the photos though, I probably should have tried tucking this tee in. These jeans are low waisted so I don't do that too often, and with the long cardigan I thought the tee untucked would work better, but if I wore this again I'd definitely tuck in the tee at the front.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, navy Coca-Cola tee, green skinny jeans, black Converse, yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Navy Dresses, Blazers and Chloe Paddington Bags For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

While winter is just a few days away in Brisbane, I still have a few more autumn outfits to share, including these printed dress, blazer and boots outfits I wore to the office recently. While the commute was cold, it warmed up during the day, perfect autumn Brisbane weather.

I accessorised both of these outfits with my vintage Chloe Paddington bags. I felt they were overdue a wear, and while the style first came out 17 years ago (and both these bags were made in 2006), I still love the oversized statement they make.


What I wore:

navy blazer and tile print dress with small cream chloe paddington bag | awayfromblue

navy tile print dress, Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Jacket: thrifted Valleygirl navy jersey blazer
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc


Why I wore it:

I like wearing this tile print dress with blue, but hadn't yet worn it with this navy blazer! it makes an easy outfit for work. And I like the little print mixing from the gingham lining you can see with the sleeves rolled up slightly.

Added ankle boots instead of my usual go-to Converse for the office as it was a cooler morning. it did warm up later though, didn't even need the blazer for the commute home.

The tassels on the neckline of this dress meant I skipped a necklace and wore these pretty statement earrings instead. And the gold in them matched so nicely with the big gold hardware on my little Chloe Paddington bag.


Last worn: navy blazer, gold earrings, navy print dress, tan ankle boots, small cream Chloe Paddington bag.

Other ways to wearnavy blazer with pink, navy print dress and scarf, tan ankle boots and maxi dress, small cream Chloe Paddington bag and jeans.

DressShein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) 
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Paddington in 2007 Brun


Why I wore it:

Another printed dress and blazer combination - but with taller boots this time, and a slip under the dress, as it was a particularly chilly morning on the way into the office! Need my blazer for the commute home this time too. I like the red floral print in this dress, and how it goes so nicely with the orange blazer. I added another little bit of bright colour with this beaded yellow necklace I thrifted recently.

While the tan tall boots don't match the deep dark brown of the Chloe Paddington bag, I liked the two shades of brown with the floral print and orange, they were good neutrals.


Last worn: orange blazer, yellow necklace, floral swing dress, tall tan boots, Chloe Brun Paddington bag.

Cosy Cardigans and Skinny Jeans With Pink Tanks

Pink tops, skinny jeans and cosy cardigan outfits for work recently. One day working from home, the other in the office. Both outfits are accessorised with my beautifully hand painted mini MAB tote bag, which goes perfectly with pink even though there is no pink in the design.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Necklace: thrifted purple wooden bead statement necklace
TopAsos satin singlet in pink
Jeans: Dannii Minogue denim high waist skinny jean in ecru
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

I think this outfit will be as close as I ever get to monochrome white! Since autumn temperatures arrived in Brisbane at last I have been embracing all my jeans, and this white pair especially. I was so excited to get theses jeans from my mum for Christmas and had so many outfits in mind for them, just had to wait for the perfect weather. They have been on frequent repeat lately. I wasn't sure if the white leopard print cardigan would be too much white with these jeans, especially with the white Converse too, but I think that the bold pink tank and the lilac necklace added enough colour in-between that this really worked.

I really enjoyed this cosy cardigan for the school drop off in the morning, and working from home. I didn't need it in the afternoon though, it warmed up nicely and we spent a little time at the playground after school and ran a couple of errands too.

Might be the first time I've ever tried leopard print and florals together, and I'm glad I did as I really liked this combination.






What I wore:


black outfit, floral bag, Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Willow & Thread hot pink tank from Sheila's wardrobe
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Mica Bag - Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB side zip tote in pale lilac hand painted by Sheila


Why I wore it:

A much darker outfit this time with the black skinny jeans and black cardigan. Still went with white sneakers though. These Adidas Superstar ones were an opshop find, as was the cardigan. I don't think that the photos do this outfit justice, it kinda looks a bit like a black blob, but I adored this cosy cocoon cardigan and black jeans combination. The hot pink tank, a gift from Sheila, was the perfect pop with this. And it was such a surprise to get into the office and realise that all the ladies in my team were wearing black and pink or black or pink that day - unintentional matching!

I always like taking this little hand painted bag to the office, it's so nice to stare at on my desk all day.
