Two different outfits below showing how easy it is to wear a red cross body bag.
What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Jacket: Cotton On 'Gemma' cocoon kimono in Laos blossom navy print
Singlet: Best and Less black breastfeeding singletJacket: Cotton On 'Gemma' cocoon kimono in Laos blossom navy print
Jeans: Sass and Bide 'neon nights' jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in navy!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red
Why I wore it:
Wore this to sit on the sidelines of toddler T's swimming lessons. Have to wait until my 6 week postpartum checkup before I can get the all clear to do any exercising other than walking and the exercises the physio gives you in hospital. I'm looking forward to getting back in the water though!Thought the colourful floral print on this kimono would look nice with the red saddle bag. I really liked the combination. The kimono works nicely as a little nursing cover when breastfeeding too.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, floral cocoon kimono, black breastfeeding tank, Sass & Bide skinny jeans, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.
Other ways to wear: floral kimono and a mint tee, black nursing tank and a maxi skirt, Sass & Bide skinny jeans and a graphic tee, gold mouse flats and a Chloe paddington, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag with a maxi skirt.
More cute red cross body bags:
What I wore:
Tee: Grey 'making magic happen' tee C/O Shein
Skirt: Vintage black pleated skirt from my Mum's closet
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red
Why I wore it:
It's been such a long time since I've worn this skirt! It used to belong to my mum, one of the few vintage pieces of clothing I have in my wardrobe. Thought that they grey slogan tee would work nicely with it, in theory. I didn't really like the oversized top and voluminous pleated skirt when I wore it though, not my favourite outfit. I felt I was constantly tugging at this through the day - especially in the waiting room of the doctors trying to calm a cranky baby with everyone staring...I did like the colours in this outfit though - the neutral black and grey makes the red cross body bag really pop. A nice way to wear it, I've worn it with an all black outfit before too.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), Making magic happen tee, pleated maxi skirt, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag (above).
Other ways to wear: Making magic happen tee and a baby bump, pleated skirt and liliac tank, black ballet flats and a pink dress, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag with stripes.

Ooh that pleated maxi skirt is really cool! And do love the colour combo with the red bag poppin' like that. I also adore your Marc Jacobs mouse flats . . . Miss L has been given a Big W version, I can't wait until she grows into them!!
ReplyDeleteOh I she will look so cute in them! I love my mouse flats :)
DeleteI love both looks! I really love your Rebecca Minkoff bags - they are so versatile!

I think a red bag acts as a great pop of color with monochrome outfits, but I have to say that I love the combo with the kimono.

Your bag is very pretty! I have been using a small bag recently since it is very convenient to carry around!

Love the make magic happen tee! Your moms old skirt looks lovely. I'd wear a tucked in tight shirt with it, maybe your floral top too. I do love the red bag. Makes both outfits pop!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I should try it with a floral top next time, haven't worn it that way before!
DeleteLove the bag with the maxi skirt. It's such a stunning shade, looks almost orange :)

I'm starting to feel I only rotate through a few as well, haha!
DeleteI love both of these looks, Mica! Red is definitely a perfect option for adding a pop of color to nearly any look, kind of like a red lip! I really love the first look with that kimono, so pretty! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a great week ahead, beauty!

Both outfits are so adorable, but the first is my absolute fave. You are really making me want that red bag the more and more you post it lol.

You already know I love the bag! It's fun with so many things. Loving that pleated black skirt. I don't remember seeing it before. How fun to have a piece from your mom.

I haven't worn it in a while which is a shame as it's a nice skirt!
DeleteI love, love your kimono on the first photo and the way you styled your bag!

If I had that bag I'd be rocking it to death too! Love Rebecca Minkoff and I also love your pleated skirt look, kinda perfect! Thanks for sharing on #MumsThatSlay Yvadney xx
ReplyDeleteThat is such a versatile bag and seems to go with different outfits. You look great with the kimono, love how casual but chic the whole look is.

I've been using my Kate Spade crossbody bag in almost all of my outfit posts myself so I get the temptation of not wanting to switch handbags. At least that Rebecca Minkoff bag is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI really love your second outfit a lot - it reminds me of what I normally wear!

Sometimes I get so addicted to a bag that I just don't want to change it, so it is all fine :) I like the style and the colour of your bag, it looks good with any outfit! Black skirt is so pretty, I wish my mum has kept her skirts, pleated skirts was a big thing back in the day and now it is coming back again :)
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
They are often trendy pieces - it's good to have this one to jump on the trend whenever, haha!
DeleteThis bag is so pretty! Nice look dear

DeleteYou're going to get a lot of wear out of it Mica! I love your pleated skirt. It's a classic :D So awesome you have your son enrolled in swimming lessons. It's so important to learn how to swim.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
Definitely! We want him to be comfortable in the water.
DeleteI'm so into your Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats! You are right about that saddle bag. It seems to go well with most of your outfits. It can really make a statement! xx
ReplyDeletewww.prettyweirdbombshell.com
It goes with so much! I love wearing it :)
DeleteThat bag looks really nice with both outfits! It brings out the colors in your kimono and really compliments the neutral grey and black in your second outfit!
ReplyDeleteHow ironic that all eyes were on you as you tried to calm baby down only for your shirt to read "Making Magic Happen." haha It's really the little things in life that amuse me! Because motherhood IS magic. We put up with so much. I think that bag is so perfect for what you need it to do. If something works, roll with it! (:
ReplyDeletehaha yes I was hoping to make the magic happen and calm baby down ;) Motherhood is magic, I'm so grateful for it!
DeleteLove the bag, but love the Marc Jacobs mouse flats more :).

If you find a good thing, why change it?! I love the bag! It's so cheerful. It must be a relief now it's cool enough for jeans, what with all the baby and toddler wrangling. I love that kimono :)
ReplyDeleteYes the cool change is welcome! Especially after all the heatwaves over summer and autumn.
DeleteI love both outfits! The floral kimono is so pretty and feminine and easy. The graphic is tee is fantastic and I really do like it paired with the pleated skirt. It sort of an unexpected pairing, but I think that is what makes it work!

The bright bag and floral kimono look so spring-ish together! Although I don't think it's spring in Australia, but either way the bag totally fits with it. I like the contrast of the two outfits though - they both look amazing with the bag :)
ReplyDeleteSam | http://mybeautycloud.com
Florals always make me think of spring - no matter the season! :)
DeleteThat really is a great bag. I love a red purse...unfortunately, I don't have one any longer. Guess I need to change that!
ReplyDeleteHope you can find a cute one! I'm glad I have this one in my wardrobe :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff bags. Love her designs and that each bag can be styles effortlessly. Love the way you styled yours.
ReplyDeletehttp://fashionradi.blogspot.com/
Yes, I have so many of her bags, they are great! :)
DeleteI body cross bag is so versatile and you have just proved that to us. I love the both styles, the skirt screams boho vibes and the jeans screams chic casual. You look dashing!

I love the pleated maxi skirt! So gorgeous on you :)

Your bag adds such a bright and happy pop of colour to all your outfits! Very stunning!
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the outfits with that bag coming, I love it!! I love both looks, but I hate it when an outfit makes me feel uncomfortable and I'm pulling and tugging all day--that drives me crazy!
ReplyDeleteYep it's frustrating, especially when I don't have time to change! At least I know not to repeat that combination again :)
DeleteSo cute, I want this red crossbody bag. I love the style & shape of the bag! xx Adaleta Avdic
ReplyDeleteA pop of red always looks great. My sis has been looking everywhere for red ballet flats as her fave pair has fallen apart - we just can't seem to find them anywhere, oddly enough! I would have thought red was a fashion staple these days.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I would have thought it was a staple too! Hope she can find a pair!
DeleteThank you all for your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great tee Mica- I am slowly, but surely, trying to catch up on older posts. Hugs.
