Orange and Animal Print Cami and Maxi Skirt Outfits

I've been wearing a lot of tees lately, so I got a couple of my pretty camis out to change it up a little. Paired both with maxi skirts for these orange and leopard print outfits, accessorised with my Chloe Ethel bag.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
CamiNew Look orange strappy cami top
Skirt: thrifted ruffle hem leopard print midi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual plus wooden beaded bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Went down the coast to spend some time at my parents, and then shopping at Costco with my mum and sister. It was the first time I've been there! We bought a lot, and the kids were delighted by all the different sample stations they got to eat at!

While a leopard print midi skirt seems like it would be a loud statement piece, this skirt never seems too "in-your-face" for me so I had fun pairing it with this bright orange cami and the statement beaded necklace and beaded bracelet stack. I did add some neutrals with the white Converse and the small Chloe Ethel bag, but leopard is pretty much a neutral on its own now!

Really enjoyed this outfit, it was fun shopping and getting lunch with the family.


Last worn: orange cami, beaded statement necklace, wooden bracelet stack, leopard print maxi skirt, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag.

Other ways to wearorange cami and jeans, leopard print maxi skirt and red tee, white Converse and shorts, Chloe Ethel bag and shorts.

What I wore:




Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
CamiKmart Anko leopard print cami
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
Shoes: Kmart tan crossover slides
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really liked the outfit above, so I flipped it around a little but followed the same outfit formula for this. Animal print cami this time and an orange maxi skirt. I keep calling this a leopard print cami even though it's clearly cheetah print. It was the perfect printed piece with this block colour rust maxi skirt. Again I wore my Chloe Ethel bag - the 'light khaki' colour is a very light one and I treat it as a neutral.

With the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag and the bold combination of animal print and leopard, I kept the rest of my accessories simple with the tan slides and gold necklace and earrings.

Wore this out to an event at the library. I did feel a bit overdressed in this though, and didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first outfit. I think it seemed a little more dressed up than a plain tee and maxi skirt outfit. I did like it, just maybe should have worn it for a different day.

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.

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.

Black Tanks, Printed Skirts and Blazers | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link up, sharing two times I wore a midi skirt and black tank outfit formula with blazers over the top for the office.


What I wore:


Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: thrifted chartreuse necklace (new purchase)
Tank: Kmart linen blend textured black tank
Skirt: thrifted Ghanda midi slink skirt in green mini blossom
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Last time I wore this green daisy print midi skirt to the office I worried the side slit was a bit too high. I saw the skirt hanging in my wardrobe and felt it was due another wear, and when I tried it on I wondered why I felt it was too high for the office, the length seems to cancel out the slightly higher slit. I quickly realised when I got to the office though, that the slit does expose quite a bit of leg when you sit down, and that was my main issue with it last time I wore it. Ended up tugging at the skirt all day, not the best choice of outfit. I did really like how this looked, just made me a bit self conscious in the office when anyone stopped by my desk.

With the neutral black tank and the grey blazer, the neon chartreuse necklace added needed pop of colour, and the light khaki small Chloe Ethel bag added some more lightness to the outfit too.


Last worn: grey jersey blazer, black linen blend tank, green print midi skirt, black ballet flats, Chloe small Ethel bag. First time I've worn the chartreuse necklace as it's a recent opshop buy.

Other ways to weargrey jersey blazer and dress, black linen blend tank and leopard print, green print midi skirt and band tee, black ballet flats and jeans, Chloe small Ethel bag and maxi skirt.






What I wore:


Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki



Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: thrifted pastel pink and wooden hexagon bead necklace
Top: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
SkirtCotton On 'Mica' mesh spot skirt in dusty pink
Shoes:  Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit formula above (in theory, although not so much in practice!) I copied it again for another office day. I wore my comfortable Converse sneakers this time instead of the ballet flats, and again it was another midi skirt and a black tank outfit. I liked the lace detail of this tank with the mesh polka dot layer of the midi skirt, it was a nice texture combination, and it lifted the outfit a little with all the black of the black blazer and tank together. 

This skirt is an old favourite that I saw in a magazine back in the days I used to read magazines and had to buy it - it is the Mica skirt after all! Surprisingly I haven't hit 30 wears on it yet, I'll need to wear it more often! I liked the blush necklace with it, although the skirt is more of a peachy pink I thought the shades worked nicely together with the black tank in between.


Last worn: black jersey blazer, black lace tank, statement necklace, polka dot pencil skirt, Converse, Chloe small Ethel bag (above).

Other ways to wearblack jersey blazer and floral dress, black lace tank with red, polka dot pencil skirt and berry top, Converse and shorts, Chloe small Ethel bag and striped dress.

Coral Kmart Dresses and Chloe Ethel Bag For Kid's Birthday Parties

Wearing my two coral dresses from Kmart for kids birthday parties one weekend - it was a busy weekend with a party each day! With the bright coral in both dresses, I went with a neutral bag, my Chloe small Ethel in light khaki. It's such a roomy bag and this neutral shade goes with everything.


What I wore:

Kmart red flora printed wrap dress with studded sandals and Chloe Ethel bag | awayfromtheblue

Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki worn on arm | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Colette Joanne teal and gold multi drop disk earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Dress: Kmart red flora printed wrap dress
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus gold leaf cuff
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Not the first time I've worn these Rebecca Minkoff studded gladiator sandals with this dress, I like how the neutral shoe lets the dress have all the attention. I added a few gold accessories with the earrings, which you sadly can't see in the pics because of my hair - gold necklace and this gold cuff.

I thought the gold accessories matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Ethel bag nicely. It's the perfect bag as despite the small size it holds so much!

Was a busy morning rushing around getting ready for the party, but then a fun afternoon watching the kids run around and of course eat way too many lollies!


Last worn: earrings, charm necklace, coral floral print wrap dress, studded sandals, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace (new purchase)
Dress: Kmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

A very comfortable and practical outfit for another birthday party, at at indoor play area. Adidas Superstar sneakers for all the running around between the party area and where the boys were playing, helping the kids find their friends and giving them water too.

I thought that this recently thrifted yellow necklace would be a nice pop with the coral dress - I like all of the different yellow beads in it with the silver tassels. I added the silver statement earrings too, so I'd feel a little dressed up for the party.

Again I went with my Chloe Ethel bag - this bag is perfect for holding all our water bottles.


Last worn: silver statement earrings, coral tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe small Ethel bag (above). First time I've worn the necklace as it was a recent opshop buy.

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.

Maxi Skirts In Winter With Striped Tees, Scarves, Boots and Denim Jackets

Layering up my maxi skirts to ger some wear from them in winter, with striped tees, cosy scarves, denim jackets and boots. Despite the different colours in both of these outfits, the neutral small Chloe Ethel bag was a great accessory with both.


What I wore:

cobalt scarf, denim jacket, striped tee and orange maxi skirt with knee high boots chloe ethel bag | awayfromblue

orange maxi skirt with Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
ScarfMarc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole
TeeAtmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus pearl and rose gold bracelet stack
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really like blue and orange together, and I love this ochre maxi skirt with stripes. It's not the first time I've worn this navy stripe tee with the orange skirt, but it is a bit more layered up this time than last time! It was a chilly morning for the school run. Although this cobalt scarf covers up most of the striped tee I really liked the different shades of blue together, especially with the dark denim jacket on top.

Because this maxi skirt has side splits and I didn't want my legs to freeze I wore my leather knee high boots under this to keep cosy! It worked well.

I worked from home while the kids were in school and we stopped off at the park in the afternoon to grab a few more branches for our stick insect to eat. Ended up running into friends and the boys saw a few classmates there too, so we stayed for quite a while and I did wish I'd added leggings under the skirt when it started to get cooler in the afternoon. Luckily we weren't out for too long as we had to get back home to get ready for sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, cobalt scarf, navy stripe tee, ochre maxi skirt, tan boots, Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki.

ScarfAlexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral print
TeeAtmos&Here oversized stripe tee
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

Unlike the outfit above, with the black maxi skirt, pale denim jacket and grey striped tee this outfit was looking a bit bland. The pink and yellow Alexander McQueen skull scarf was the perfect pop of colour to brighten it up a bit! And I like how this reminds me of Sheila and her pink and yellow skull scarf, although hers is a different print she got lucky and found it second hand, I picked this up on sale.

Again I went with boots, just ankle boots this time as the long ruffle hem on this skirt doesn't have any side splits. Was a nice comfortable outfit for a busy day with an appointment, a couple of errands, and a stop at the library for the kids and I to stock up on more books for the weekend.


Last worn: moto denim jacket, pink skull scarf, grey stripe tee, black maxi skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Ethel (above).

Blue Knits, Colourful Jeans and Chloe Ethel Bag

Wearing two blue thrifted knits, a new one I picked up on an opshop trip back in summer, and an older one also from an opshop, that's been in my wardrobe a few years. Paired with colourful jeans and some cosy scarves, because it's a chilly winter here in Brisbane!


What I wore:

blue and pink jeans and jumper outfit with navy polka dot scarf converse and magenta jeans | awayfromblue

chloe small ethel bag in light khaki handheld | awayfromblue



Scarf: Target Sadie woven scarf in blue spot print
Jumper: thrifted blue Kmart stitch detail knit
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

I really liked the colours in this outfit! I like blue and pink together and this knit was perfect with the magenta jeans. While I thrifted the knit back in December this is the first time I've worn it. It looks like it's never been worn and it was just $1 so I couldn't pass it up in the opshop even though I knew it would be a while before I wore it! Because it was an extra cold morning I added a scarf to keep cosy. I wasn't sure at first which one to go with but I liked the navy against the paler blue of the jumper and polka dots are always cute.

Nice simple outfit for the school run, working from home, and sports in the evening. Even if I did need to take the scarf off for the school pickup in the afternoon as the day had warmed up so much!


Last worn: polka dot scarf, magenta jeans, white Converse, Chloe Ethel bag. First time I've worn the blue jumper since I thrifted it back in summer.

ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe small Ethel bag in light khaki


Why I wore it:

This ended up being a really wet day! The rain barely let up! I wanted my cosiest scarf so I pulled out this studded paisley print infinity scarf / snood that I always enjoy using in winter. While the taupe shade is different from the more caramel tone of the Chloe Ethel bag, I thought the accessories looked nice together, and I always love blue and green! These olive jeans go with everything.

Wore this for a busy weekend day - with a bunch of errands, a library trip, and of course having to vote as well as it was back in May.

Colourful Jeans, Floral Kimonos and Chloe Bags

More jeans, tee and Converse outfits for autumn as I enjoy the cooler weather meaning I can wear my jeans again after a particularly warm start to autumn! Adding more colour to my outfits with floral kimonos and colourful jeans, and wearing a couple of my Chloe handbags.


What I wore:

magenta jeans converse grey tee dark floral purple print kimono chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

purple floral kimono with Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut | awayfromtheblue



Jacket: Target Karolina summer kimono in purple black floral
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
TeeAtmos&Here charcoal grey v neck tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

I was surprised to see I hadn't worn this dark floral print kimono with the magenta jeans before! While the floral print is purple and doesn't have any magenta in it, I do love pink and purple together. With all that colour the dark grey tee was the perfect pieces to wear in between. My friend Sheila had worn a similar necklace on her blog so I remembered this one that was overdue another wear. I think the grey beads were just different enough for the darker grey of the tee that they worked together, and the gold matched the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag.

It was a thankfully rain free morning with a couple of errands and a trip to the library. We even managed a play in the playground as it wasn't too wet after all the rain. We then had a nice relaxing afternoon at home until there was a little accident with my son that required a quick dash to the hospital in the evening. Luckily he didn't need stitches, just needed a little glue to help things heal up, although he now has a scar. He was quite surprised by all the attention he got from the kids when he went to school the next week with him being all bandaged up!

Why I wore it:

This was thankfully a much more boring and uneventful day! Just the regular working form home and school run, with no surprises or hospital trips. Again I went with jeans and a tee and my trusty Converse. This time around it was neutral olive jeans, a white tee, and some extra colour with this fun tropical floral print duster. That somehow I haven't worn with these olive jeans before, even though I really like navy and green together!

The little Chloe Ethel bag was a good neutral accessory and while I didn't need to carry much I love how roomy this bag is despite the small size.


Last worn: tropical floral print duster, speckled tee, gold circle necklace, olive jeans, Converse (above), Chloe Ethel bag.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is a style staple. You can add a little more print and colour with a fun floral kimono as I have here, and try some different coloured jeans instead of a classic blue pair too.
