Dress: Gypsy 05 orange ombre maxi dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs waxed leather cream howlite beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Why I wore it:
Wore this for to celebrate Father's day with the family and then the in-laws in the afternoon. I got lucky and even though we ate out for lunch we had takeaway for dinner. It was nice not to have to cook anything other than breakfast all day!This dress is so beautiful, always gets a lot of love when I wear it. Pleased to have it in my wardrobe after my bestie tired of it and gave it to me. I liked how well the feather pendant matched the peach of the dress, and the silver mini MAC bag was a good neutral too.
I wore silver ballet flats with this too but they are a little tricky to see as the breeze kept catching the hem of the dress.
Last worn: denim jacket, ombre Gypsy 05 maxi dress, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC.
Other ways to wear: denim jacket and purple jeans, ombre Gypsy 05 maxi dress and lace kimono, silver ballet flats and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and leopard print jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket and black dress, ballet flats and maternity wrap dress, mini MAC and maternity tanks in third trimester.

What I wore:
Earrings: A Little Bit of North blue mandala earrings (giveaway prize, close up photo)
Necklace: Nibbly Bits BB plum silicone teething necklace (C/O)
Dress: MEV Havana maxi dress C/O Zibibo
Scarf: Louis Vuitton "comete" bandeau scarf (worn as belt)
Shoes: Walnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Why I wore it:
I wore this the day before as we had an early Father's Day brunch with my dad and family. We ended up sitting outside at the restaurant and it was such lovely weather I really didn't need my denim jacket on. A good start to spring.You'll probably already know that this maxi dress is my favourite given how much I wear it! One of those treasured maternity pieces that works perfectly for breastfeeding too and so pretty that I continue to wear it even though those days are behind me. Nothing new here with this wearing! It's been worn many times with this denim jacket, and the colourful Louis Vuitton bandeau scarf as a belt is a favourite go-to outfit combination.
Just like the outfit above I wore the metallic silver mini MAC bag with this, silver was a good neutral with the colourful dress.
The good thing about maxi dresses is that they work for so many occasions - later that afternoon we had to go grocery shopping, no need to change into a different outfit!
Last worn: denim jacket (above), pink maxi dress, Louis Vuitton bandeau, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC (above).
Other ways to wear: denim jacket and shirt dress, maxi dress for a first birthday party, Louis Vuitton bandeau as a hairband, Walnut Melbourne ballet flats in the office, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC and monochrome jeans outfits.
Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket and hidden second trimester bump, pink maxi dress at 39 weeks pregnant, Louis Vuitton bandeau over a second trimester bump, ballet flats and maternity pencil skirt, mini MAC and third trimester maternity denim.
Denim Jackets Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
Maxi dresses are perfect for summer, but it's so easy to wear them on a warm spring or autumn day by simply adding a denim jacket. A denim jacket is a classic outfit topper which looks good with all styles of dresses, definitely a must have piece for spring.

Happy Friday Mica! What a beautiful gift! I really adore the color of both dresses and they fit you beautifully. ..your choice of accessories was perfect as always! The metallic bag is so cute! The challenge for me has being finding one that compliment my petite frame. ..with slight alterations I think I finally found one. Pray you have a wonderful weekend!

Yes the top one needed shortened before I could wear it! #petiteProbs haha!
DeleteEven though it is not a color I think would suit me I really like the first dress. Beautiful!

These dresses are gorgeous and they suit you so well. I especially love the first one, it`s such a pretty colour. Sadly, I`m quite short and I can never wear maxi dresses without falling, but I do love them on other people.
ReplyDeleteGeorgiana / Beauty Nerd
The first one I needed to have hemmed but the second one is supposed to be ankle length so it's perfect floor-skimming length on me! :)
DeleteSounds like you had a lovely Father's Day! :) And that first dress really is beautiful, I can see why you get so many compliments on it, it's gorgeous! I like how you styled it with the rest of the outfit. :) And I too love whenever I don't have to cook all day!! Nothing like a nice take-away dinner. :D Thanks for sharing, lovely. xoxo

What a beautiful bag! I love Rebecca Minkoff, her designs are awesome, yet I still haven't made a purchase! I have too and I love this style, I think I'd most likely get it in black, though I love this metallic silver as well, it looks great with both outfits. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great weekend!

They do make this in black! It's a great bag to have! :) I have quite a few in different colours haha!
DeleteI hate how good you look in maxi dresses! I just can't look good in them. They look awesome with the denim

The metallic mini MAC is so cute! I never thought a metallic bag could be so versatile/ worn like a neutral. Hope you enjoyed your Father's Day :)
ReplyDeleteMili | sharmtoaster
It's definitely a neutral! So wearable :)
DeleteI can see why your orange dress gets so many compliments! It's such a great piece and your necklace really does look amazing with it! I love your purple dress, too. It works so well post-maternity. I am hoping to be able to repurpose a few of my items post-maternity as well because I think they will be great belted or as a tunic! Some things are just to cute to sit unworn just because they are maternity!
ReplyDeleteYes it's great to be able to wear them post-baby! :)
DeleteBoth dresses are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe Glossychic
These outfits are perfect for your celebrations!
ReplyDeleteI love maxi dress but struggles with the length because I'm too lazy to alter it but gosh, you look gorgeous with both. Love the addition of a denim jacket too!
ReplyDeleteShireen⎜Reflection of Sanity⎜Burberry Beauty Giveaway
If you can find it in a petite length or a cropped length (like the second one is meant to be, ha!) then it might work without alterations?
DeleteThat ombre maxi dress is so pretty! I love how the denim jacket gives it a fun, casual vibe too. Yay for taking a break from cooking at home! I do love to cook but it's nice to not have to do it sometimes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of outfits. I really adore the first one and I had forgotten Father's Day celebrations are in September. The pastel sherbet colour is so pretty. Your hair looks great here as well. <3 Take care, dear. Madison

I read "Father's Day" and for a hot second I thought Father's Day was coming up, but it passed a long time ago in June, haha. Love the first dress though, I can see why you get lots of compliments! I feel like you can play around with colors and be a beautiful walking sunset!

Denim jackets are truly a classic! I like how you paired it with those dresses. Quite the juxtaposition but it's lovely. :)

I love how dressy both outfits are! The ombre effect of the first dress is just so pretty! I love the peach color too. I would be so irritated if my hem kept getting caught! I just got a new kimono that has large sleeves and I keep getting stuck on door handles lol. I have to be careful that I don't end up ripping it up!

The peach dress is my favourite - the colour is so pretty on you, Mica! Great outfits and you make it look so easy to be put-together in an every-day way! Brava!
ReplyDeleteDear Mica,
ReplyDeleteI see you celebrated Father's day in the best possible and most beautiful way! It is always a pleasure not to cook :)
Love both of your dresses so much - you look adorable and I'm not surprised the second gown belongs to your favourites as this dress definitely is perfect!

I love a good denim jacket and teamed with maxi dresses is such a good idea!! Although you probably won't be needing the jacket for too much longer here with this dang heatwave! Love your styles here Mica!
ReplyDeleteI love how you pair maxi dresses with denim jacket, I do that too when it gets chilly but for the moment it's too hot here!! Happy Monday Mica!

I love the denim jacket. It went really well with the dresses you wore. I absolutely love the purse. I’m a purse girl so that purse fits right in with my style.
ReplyDeleteI love it !!
ReplyDeleteI love your maxi dresses! Never realized that it could transform into a fall outfit with a denim jacket, but you are so right! Great idea!

Oh wow, I love the colour of the orange Gypsy dress, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAren't you looking beautiful Mica ! great choices. That first dress is fabulous, I have a similar one and had not thought about pairing it with a jean jacket.
ReplyDeleteI need a jean jacket! Love the spring peach color!
ReplyDeleteLove the inspiration...I have a denim jacket I almost never use...I should whip it out this weekend
ReplyDeleteI thought it was like a champagne gold! Gorgeous colour! Love the orange dress too, Mica!
ReplyDeleteRaindrops of Sapphire
I've been tempted to get it in gold too, as I wear this silver one so much!
DeleteThank you all for your comments and kind words on the ombre dress - it really is beautiful! Glad I could give you some denim jacket inspiration too.
