Neutral and Colourful Maxi Skirt Outfits for Spring

If you follow on instagram you'll know baby boy's in hospital. I still have pre-scheduled blog posts like this that will continue to be published, and he's just in as a precaution. We hope to be home for Christmas!


I enjoyed the monochrome maxi skirt outfits I wore a short time ago so much that I wore the skirts similarly again! I liked these outfits just as much as the original ones. While it's summer here in Australia, I wore these in Spring in November.

What I wore:

neutral maxi skirt and tee outfit colourful purple accessories | Away From Blue

Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum, faux fur pom pom charm | Away From The Blue
SunglassesRay-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversize tee in black (also in grey)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

A simple maxi skirt and tee outfit was all that was needed for a quiet day. A little bit of shopping in the morning and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.

Although I've had both this tee and skirt for about 2 years I was surprised to look through the blog and see this is the first time I've worn them together! It was a nice easy outfit with a little bit of colour with the necklace and purple mini MAB tote bag.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, black tee, grey jersey maxi skirt, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag.

Other ways to wearblack tee and leopard print, grey jersey maxi skirt and teal henley, studded gladiator sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote bag and leopard print scarf.





What I wore:

monochrome blue maxi skirt outfit chambray and navy LV neverfull tote bag | AwayFromBlue

 Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull | AwayFromTheBlue
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
TankMEV Britney bubble tank in mood indigo C/O Zibibo
SkirtNoisy May long denim maxi skirt
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

Why I wore it:

This more colourful outfit was worn for a busier day. We had playgroup in the morning and then another specialist appointment for baby boy in the city in the afternoon. Thankfully my mum helped me with that last part, as although he'd run around at playgroup all morning it's still a big ask to have a toddler sit quietly in a doctor's office.

Blue being my favourite colour, of course I really liked the colour of this outfit. Not too sure about the length of the top with the skirt though. The front panel style means I can't really tuck it in a little (like I'd usually do with a long top) and still breastfeed in it. I did think the proportions were a little off, so I probably wouldn't wear these two pieces together again.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer (above), navy breastfeeding tank, chambray maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.

Other ways to wearnavy breastfeeding tank and blush blazer, chambray maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff studded sandals and stripes, Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag and gold jeans.

  4. Monochrome is so pretty. I've always been a fan of black & gray. It's always beautiful. Also love various shades of blue together. Very nice pairing Mica.

    1. They are fun statement pieces, I'll probably wear them a little longer than I need to again this time like I did with the toddler! :)

  19. I love and life for a black and grey combo. Such a stunning pairing. Also that blue outfit is pretty on point too. I think I need to introduce more of it into my own wardrobe. Though I have brought one or two powder blue tops in the last few weeks so...

  23. Both maxi skirts are brilliant; I love wearing them throughout the seasons (woollen in winter). The grey one featured in this post is probably my favourite, though I'm biased because I love the black and grey colour combination haha :)

  30. Again, I hope things are okay with your little one. Good to hear it's just a precaution though.
    And I love both maxi skirt looks! I like that you're shopping from your own closet rather than going out and buying a ton of new clothes all the time. I love when bloggers find new ways to wear old clothes :]

    1. I'd never have anything ready to post if I tried to do it the night before, haha! Having them scheduled in advance so I can do bits here and there when naps line up is the best way I've found! :)
