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).

Black Tops, Red Jeans, and Cardigans

Wearing some red jeans with black tops and cardigans recently. Again, just like Monday's post, I accessorised with my Converse Chucks and my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag that is certainly getting a workout after I found it at the opshop!


What I wore:


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


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tee: Kisschasy United Paper People 2023 tour band tee 
Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a really fun day! The kids had to hand in their science projects at school, and we got to tour the displays and see what everyone had done. There are some really creative kids! I wore this simple band tee and jeans outfit, as I had to cart around all the project stuff for the school run, and then I was working from home before picking the kids up from school in the afternoon.

Although the red in the band tee is a lighter red than the jeans, I thought they worked well together. And I added a third shade of red with the dinosaur skeleton earrings.


Last worn: grey cardigan, dinosaur earrings, Kisschasy band tee, burgundy jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag.

Other ways to weargrey cardigan and dress, Kisschasy band tee and maxi skirt, burgundy jeans and stripes, Converse and maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag and printed dress.

Perfect for pregnancyConverse in second trimester.





What I wore:


thrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue with leopard print and red | awayfromblue


Jacket: thrifted no label black and white leopard print cardigan
Tank: lace bib black swing tank from mum's wardrobe
Jeans: thrifted Emerson red skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

This was a busy but also fun day. My son and I had a couple errands to run and a lot of items to drop off at the workshop, as our clear out and reorganisation at home continues. Although he was a little upset there were no toys he wanted at the opshop, we did get him some cute clothes and I picked up a pair of shorts and a cute dress for myself too!

This is the first time I've worn the lace trim tank on the blog - it's from my mum's wardrobe, she had given me a few things she no longer wanted and let me try on a few things before donating, and I couldn't let this cute tank go. The red jeans really pop against the tank and the leopard print cardigan adds a little extra interest too, although I did take it off between errands in the morning as the day warmed up a lot. We had my parents over in the evening too.


Last worn: leopard print cardigan, red jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above). First time I've worn the tank as it's a recent addition to my wardrobe, from my mum's wardrobe.

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.

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.

Perfect for pregnancy: skull scarf in third trimester.





What I wore:

JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket

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.

Blue Tanks, Floral Toppers And Skinny Jeans

Adding a little more interest to these plain blue tank and black skinny jeans outfits I wore recently, with some floral printed cover ups. Nice easy outfits for the school run and working from home.


What I wore:


Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue | awayfromblue


JacketCotton On Leah kimono in Juddy floral cerise
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Tank: Kmart teal tank
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 it being a little warmer I didn't want to add a cardigan to this tank and jeans outfit. I wasn't sure about the teal of the tank against the magenta of this floral waterfall jacket but I'm glad I gave the combination a try for something different! This was the perfect light layer I needed.

With the cobalt blue in the floral print I added more blue with the navy bead necklace, and the dark navy Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel, black faded skinny jeans and Converse were good neutrals to wear with that different teal and magenta colour combination.


Last worn: magenta floral jacket, navy beaded necklace, teal tank, faded black skinny jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another blue and green outfit! I really like wearing this green duster with blue, so I knew I wanted to wear it with this blue tank I recently purchased. I love blue and green together, and I think that the chunky necklace, with the different blue and green beads, tied it together nicely. This has quickly become my go-to necklace when I'm wearing blue and green!

Again I went with classic black skinny jeans. These Nobody Denim Siren pair are so comfortable, perfect for the school run and working from home, especially when paired with this soft cotton tank and my staple Converse.


Last worn: green floral duster, chunky necklace, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag (above). first time I've shared the tank on the blog as it's a recent purchase.

Printed Tanks, Cardigans and Skinny Jeans In The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

I feel like I've been wearing my jeans to the office a lot this winter! This time around I wore them with printed tanks and some cosy cardigans. While winter is drawing to an end here in Brisbane and the days can be quite warm, the commute can be quite chilly, especially in the morning!


What I wore:




Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: thrifted gold large double circle necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Rowena print tank
JeansNobody Denim Siren skinny super high-rise jeans in power black denim (c/o)
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I really liked the simplicity of this outfit! The red waterfall cardigan really popped against the neutral printed tank and the black skinny jeans. With the dark navy Cupid bag and the black and white Converse, this could have been a really dull outfit without the cardigan brightening it up. This cosy red cardigan was the obvious choice when looking for something to keep me warm that morning for the commute into the office.


Last worn: red waterfall cardigan, gold circle necklace, animal print tank, Nobody Denim skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel.

Other ways to wearred waterfall cardigan and pencil skirt, animal print tank and maxi skirt, Nobody Denim skinny jeans and blazer, Converse and tiered dress, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid satchel and floral dress.

What I wore:




Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Tank: Emerson crochet lace bib print top
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Red and black again for another day in the office! This time around I went with a red printed tank, and kept the rest of my outfit neutral with the black cocoon cardigan and the charcoal grey jeans. I felt with the crochet detail on the tank, and the red and white print, this outfit didn't really need a necklace. Instead I went with my little dinosaur skeleton earrings I recently thrifted. They weren't a perfect match to the red in the print on the tank, but I liked the two together. I really need to try wearing these when I tie my hair up one day so they are easier to show off, they tend to get hidden in my hair!


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, dino earringsred printed tank, Nobody Denim jeans, Adidas Superstar, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid (above).

Two Ways To Layer A Colourful Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress For Winter

I bought this awesome, colourful geometric print maxi dress at the opshop for just $1. A spaghetti strap maxi dress isn't something I expect to get a lot of wear from in winter, but since spring is around the corner I know this will get worn more often. And before the weather heats up here in Brisbane, I was able to layer it up a little for the last month of winter, on some warmer days.


What I wore:


rebecca minkoff cupid satchel and geometric print maxi dress | awayfromblue


Earrings: thrifted red dinosaur skeleton earrings
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

We had a fun day out at Australia Zoo with the family, so I needed some comfortable sneakers for all the driving and walking. I also needed to be able to wear my knee brace to support my knee so that ruled out jeans. Decided it was the perfect time to give this maxi dress a wear! Since it was a little chilly, especially in the morning, I added this soft knit over the top. It's a bit oversized so I had to knot it to get it to sit nicely, but I loved the cobalt against the mix of colours in the print of the dress.

As always, wore my Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. It is perfect for the essentials plus some snacks and water bottles that you need for a day out at the zoo with the kids.

Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress

Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

The next opportunity I took to wear this dress was for a school run and working from home day, with a quick errand after picking up the kids in the afternoon. Again I layered over the top of this dress, with this teal tank this time, and the denim moto jacket for an extra layer of warmth as it was a chilly morning. It warmed up nicely though and when I went back to school to pick up the kids, the denim jacket was no longer needed.

With the mix of colours in the geometric print of this maxi dress, I felt the teal tank complimented all the different shades well. I thought that the blue and green in the chunky necklace tied in the colours nicely, especially when worn with the denim jacket. I really liked this outfit!

Pink and Blazers For The Office | Weekday Wear Link Up

My office wear posts will start to become a regular fixture now I'm increasing the number of days I'm in the office! Still trying a few different outfit formulas for work, it's a strange mix at the moment in terms of what people are wearing. I feel I have even more flexibility than I did with the already very casual business casual dress code before 2020! Adding a blazer to these outfits made them feel perfect for a day at my desk.


What I wore:




JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
NecklaceTiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Dress: thrifted no label pastel floral print babydoll dress
ShoesAsos Cleo leather boots in tan
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

I could not resist this $1 dress on the rack at the opshop - such a cute pastel pink and peach floral print! It doesn't have a brand label so not sure where it was made, but it is a beautiful light viscose and I know it will get a lot of wear, especially in the warmer months. I made it more suitable for a winter office commute with a slip underneath, fleece-lined tights, tall boots and as it was a warmer morning, just a blazer over the top. I felt it helped make this casual baby doll floral dress more office ready.

Buttoning it all the way up and tying the neck tie helped make the dress look a little less casual too.


Last worn: grey blazer, Tiffany necklace, tan leather boots, Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag. First time I've worn the dress as it was a recent purchase.

TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose (new purchase)
SkirtWarehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Rebecca Minkoff vintage Cupid satchel in dark navy blue


Why I wore it:

Another newly purchased pink piece worn to the office! It was a good first wearing of this tee, it's very comfortable. I thought that with the navy background on this jacquard pencil skirt that the navy blazer was the perfect match, although with the black fleece lined tights and black ankle boots, with the dark navy Cupid bag as well it made for a really dull outfit. The pink ombre tee brightened it up nicely, especially after I added to the matchy-matchy neutrals of this outfit with the navy beaded necklace too.

Pencil skirts used to be such a staple of my office style, but I haven't really been wearing them too much lately. I think they might get more wear when spring weather arrives, but I've already been looking at the pencil skirts in my wardrobe and considering downsizing.
