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.

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).

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.

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).
