Blue Knits Over Tiered Sundresses With Converse and A Black Tote Bag

For a couple of cooler spring days recently I layered up some cosy knits over these strappy tiered sundresses and Converse outfits, with the big, practical Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag. Jumpers over dresses is another good way to get an extra wear from knits outside of winter, before it heats up too much.


What I wore:




Necklace: thrifted orange bead statement necklace
Jumper: thrifted Valleygirl blue knit jumper
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

This was a fun day! I'd taken a little extra time off work in the afternoon so I could wrap up working from home early and attend an open day at my son's school. It was good to watch them perform, and we got to check out their classrooms and some of their work that was decorating the walls. It was a great afternoon! It was a warm day, but not quite warm enough yet for me to go bare shouldered, so I added this thin knit over the spaghetti strap sundress. I like knotting this knit over dresses!

Comfortable Converse for walking around the school campus, and then because I couldn't quite decide on a necklace with this but I felt the neckline of this knit needed a little something, I picked this bright orange necklace. Not quite a match with the print on the dress, but I liked the two together.

Big Rebecca Minkoff tote bag to store a few extra snacks for the kids that afternoon!

What I wore:




Jumper: Jeanswest Beth ombre stripe knit pullover jumper in navy
Necklace: thrifted flat navy statement bead necklace
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

I realised I hadn't worn this ombre knit from my sister's wardrobe recently, so again I copied an outfit formula I liked above, with this ombre knit over the black printed tiered sundress. Just like in the first outfit I added a thrifted statement necklace. I liked this one against the navy in the knit. This knit isn't quite as thin or stretchy as the one above, so I just folded the hem under to get it to sit at a good spot with the tiers of the dress. It did annoy me through the day though as I kept fussing with it sliding around - knotting or just leaving it worn long would have worked better!

I did like the blue and black combination though, and again I went with the Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote. I didn't need to carry much, just the school run and working from home, but the black was the obvious matchy-matchy choice with the black dress and black Converse.

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.

Top: Kmart teal tank (new purchase)
Dress: thrifted colourful geometric print maxi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chloe Marcie Bag With Skirts, Ankle Boots And Wine Tops | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, I'm sharing these two similar outfits I wore recently. Both have boots, skirts, wine tops, an extra layer, and my Chloe Marcie bag. But they look very different!


What I wore:

leather jacket, ankle boots, animal print skirt and burgundy knit | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut with leopard print skirt | awayfromtheblue


JacketWitchery black belted moto leather jacket (new purchase)
Knit: thrifted Forever 21 wine ribbed knit jumper
Skirt: Target animal print ruffle hem mini skirt
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

It was a very cold morning for the school run and I regretted the decision to go bare legged and not add some leggings under this skirt! The burgundy knit was an opshop find and is a polyester knit, so I thought it would keep me warmer than it did, even with the leather jacket on top. While I thrifted the jumper a while back, I've just been waiting for the right weather to wear it and I knew it would look so cute with this leopard print skirt.

The leather jacket was a recent buy from the Gladrags market I went to in May - I spent some of my takings in some other stalls, and for $30 I was not going to pass up this buttery soft leather jacket. It came in handy with the cold weather snap in Brisbane. Even if it did warm up massively by school pick up in the afternoon, where I left the leather jacket at home, pushed up the sleeves on my knit and was grateful I hadn't added leggings that morning!


Last worn: leopard print skirt, black ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag. First time I've worn the knit as it was a summer purchase, and first time I've worn the leather jacket as I bought it recently.

Other ways to wear: leopard print skirt and teeblack ankle boots worn 30 ways, Chloe Marcie bag and floral dress.

Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirtthrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt
ShoesAtmos&Here tan Lola leather ankle boots
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! I started work a little later so I could join my youngest in a special free play day at school. It was so good seeing him running around playing with all his friends, even if I did spend a little too much time dodging tennis balls and basketballs on the courts, he had a blast!

As it was a cooler morning (thankfully not as cold as the one above) I layered up this ochre maxi skirt with my classic denim jacket and my tan ankle boots. I liked this deep orange skirt with a burgundy tee last time I tired the combination, so thought I would give it a go with this tee. It's really more purple than burgundy - wine is a very fitting name for the colour - but I still enjoyed this combination, especially with the extra pop of colour from the yellow tassel necklace.

The Chloe Marcie always looks great with a denim jacket, and I needed something big enough to hold a water bottle as I followed my son around all the different fun stations set up around the school.


Last worn: denim jacket, yellow tassel necklace, purple tee, orange maxi skirt, tan ankle boots, Chloe Marcie bag (above).

Waterfall Cardigans, Tanks and Dark Jeans With Chloe Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Spring officially arrived on the 1st September in Brisbane, but we still had a couple of cooler days at the start of September which gave me another chance to wear these cosy waterfall cardigans again, with some darker denim jeans and Chloe bags.


What I wore:

navy waterfall cardigan grey jeans sneakers paraty bag and pink satin tank | awayfromblue

Chloe periwinkle small Paraty with navy cardigan and jeans | awayfromtheblue


JacketJeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in navy night sky marle
Necklace: Kmart blue multi-colour beaded necklace
TankAsos satin singlet in pink
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a very relaxed day! It was a pupil free day, so a morning free from the school run! I planned to work from home and take the kids to the library afterwards - this jeans and tank outfit was perfect, the cosy navy waterfall cardigan is so comfortable and kept me warm. My mum and sister looked after the kids when I worked and treated us to lunch which was nice, as well as taking the boys out for a few adventures.

I felt this satin pink tank was overdue another wear and I really do like it with navy! Added even more blue with the wooden bead necklace and periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag.

These charcoal Nobody Denim jeans go with everything of course, and I picked the New Balance sneakers for their support while driving around.


Last worn: navy waterfall cardigan, blue tri colour wooden necklace, pink satin tank, Nobody Denim jeans, New Balance sneakers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty.

Other ways to wearnavy waterfall cardigan and shorts, pink satin tank and pencil skirt, Nobody Denim jeans and blazer, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty and maxi dress.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present






What I wore:

red waterfall cardigan brown printed tank skinny jeans adidas superstar sneakers chloe marcie bag | awayfromblue

Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut worn with long strap | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Jeanswest waterfall drape cardigan in scarlett marle
Necklace: Lovisa gold filigree heart pendant
Top: Sass and Bide "For Easy Reference" tank
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

This is exactly the same cardigan as the one above, just in red, because I couldn't decide between the two colours when I bought them a few years back. I am glad I have both in my wardrobe, even though this red one hasn't been worn as much as the navy one above, that I've hit 30 wears with. I do love wearing this red cardigan with neutrals though to let it really shine! The brown printed tank was a great pairing with it, and the faded black jeans, a $1 opshop find, go with everything.

Again I went with sneakers, my comfortable Adidas Superstar ones, for the school run, helping in my son's classroom and a few errands after school. We had to go buy a few little special snacks for the upcoming playdate we had on the weekend.

Although the rose gold necklace is a different tone from the gold hardware on the Chloe Marcie bag, I thought the two accessories worked well together, and I really liked the filigree heart with the brown print on the tank.


How You Can Wear It:

A cosy block colour cardigan is the perfect layer for those in-between seasons. A neutral like navy lets you pair it with brighter outfits, or you can go bolder with a red knit and stick to neutral shades with the rest of your outfit like I have in these two outfits.

Blue Tees, Pink Jeans, Grey Cardigans and Luna Blue Edie Bag

Another fun set of colourful and comfortable jeans and tee outfits. Both following the simple outfit formula of blue tee, pink jeans, converse and a grey cardigan with my Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.


What I wore:

blue tee and pink leopard print jeans, converse, grey cardigan, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag | awayfromblue

pink jeans, grey cardigan and Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Paper Scissors grey wrap cardigan
Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Jeans: Portmans pink leopard print skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

These pink leopard print jeans were definitely overdue another wear! I really like wearing them with blue, so it was an easy choice to wear the blue Converse Chucks and blue tee with them. While it was a warmer winter day and a scarf wasn't needed, I did add this grey cardi. 

Although the pink and rose gold necklace isn't an exact match to the pink of the leopard print, I thought that was a nice combination. My Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag is a great blue that goes with everything, so again while it didn't match I liked it in this outfit. It fit a library book inside my bag too as we took advantage of the public holiday and took the kids to an indoor play place. It was a beautiful day and all the other businesses in the area were shut for the holiday, so I was happy this place was open as it meant it was a little quieter than it usually is on a weekend. Perfect time to take the kids, they had a blast, and I got some reading time in as they jumped around on the play equipment!





What I wore:

kisschasy band tee, magenta jeans, converse, rebecca minkoff edie bag and grey maxi cardigan | awayfromblue

Rebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue | awayfromtheblue


Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings
Jacket
Jeanswest Alice longline Australian wool cardigan
Dress: Kisschasy blue tape band tee
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

A very different shade of pink here, but again following the same formula as the outfit above. Pink jeans, blue tee and grey cardigan! I went with the magenta Sass and Bide jeans and the blue graphic print tee instead, to switch it up a little. No necklace this time as the design on the tee felt like enough interest for my outfit. The grey wool cardigan is a super cosy one, I needed it as it was a really cold August winter day, and I wanted the extra warmth! Did regret my choice a little though. We were heading out for a bit of shopping and to grab lunch with my mum - the shopping centre had the heaters on blast for the cold day and I was definitely sweating in this, much too warm! Needed it when we stepped back outside though.

As with the first outfit, again the Luna blue of the Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag didn't match any of the shades in the outfit, but I thought it went nicely with the blue and grey still. Nice and comfortable for a quiet weekend day, just a little too warm in the shops.

Just realised when writing up this post that this is the first time I've worn this cardigan since I rescued it from my desk when I went back into the office in 2021, it had been locked away in a closed down office since 2020. 😂


Last worn: grey maxi cardigan, heart studs, Kisschasy band tee, magenta jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag (above).

How You Can Wear It:

Blue and pink are a winning combination, and a statement pair of pink jeans can really brighten up a jeans and tee outfit.

Black, Burgundy and Grey Jeans Outfits With Turquoise Bag

Two burgundy, black and grey jeans and tee outfits, accessorised with my little turquoise Balenciaga First bag. Both outfits have similar colour schemes and follow the same basic formula, but I didn't love them both equally!


What I wore:

burgundy tee and turquoise accessories with black and white knit and grey jeans and sneakers | awayfromtheblue

cosy black and white knit with Balenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India | awayfromtheblue


JacketRebecca Minkoff Ruana poncho
Necklace: rose gold and turquoise beaded necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
JeansNobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
ShoesAdidas Stan Smith sneakers in white and navy
Bracelets: the usual
BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

I really liked this outfit! Taking full advantage of this cosy knitted poncho, I didn't need to wear a scarf in that winter morning, so I chose this little turquoise and gold beaded necklace. While it's lighter than the almost teal turquoise of the Balenciaga First bag, I really liked the two together, and loved the colour they added to the deep burgundy (almost purple) tee. The grey Nobody Denim jeans were a sale find last year and they really should be worn more, such a nice wash that goes with everything!

Comfy sneakers for a quiet day with working from home and the school run. I thought that these white Stan Smiths went nicely with the white pattern on the knit. Such a comfortable outfit, I really liked this.


Last worn: knitted kimono, burgundy tee, turquoise beaded necklace, grey Nobody Denim jeans, Stan Smith sneakers, Balenciaga turquoise first bag.

Jeans: Jeanswest Harper skinny pant in Russet
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black

BagBalenciaga First bag in 2006 Blue India


Why I wore it:

Since I liked the outfit above so much, I planned to wear an outfit with a similar formula a few days later. With burgundy jeans this time, a black tee, and a grey cardigan. Again I went with the little Balenciaga bag which I think goes so well with this outfit.

The day was a lot colder than I expected though, and so I ended up changing the black scoop neck tee that I'd planned to wear out with this crew neck peplum tee, and added a scarf. As these were last minute changes before rushing out the door to get the kids to school I'm really not sure all the pieces worked as well together as the pieces in the outfit above did. I felt maybe a plain black tee like I'd planned would have been better with the skull print scarf. Although I liked the colours in this outfit, definitely felt more comfortable in the first one. Luckily it was another similar day, with the school run, working from home and then a little errand in the afternoon, so it was quite quiet.


Last worn: grey cardigan, peplum tee, red skull scarf, burgundy jeans, Converse, Balenciaga first bag (above).

Other ways to weargrey cardigan and green jeans, peplum tee and shorts, red skull scarf and red knit, burgundy jeans and floral kimono, Converse and dressBalenciaga first bag and pink dress.

How You Can Wear It:

Jeans and a tee is always a staple, and adding a little burgundy with the grey and black neutrals is a nice way to add some more colour to your outfit. A little colourful bag is an extra pop too!
