What I wore:
Dress: Atmos&Here Betsy jersey wrap dress in watercolour print
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs logo plaque flats in camel
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon
Nails: OPI Purple With A Purpose
Why I wore it:
Although I lay my outfit out the night before to make getting ready in the morning faster, I don't always know what accessories I'm going to wear. I was standing in front of the mirror trying to pick a necklace when I saw this turquoise and gold beaded one and realised it would be perfect, and meet the 'matchy matchy' theme for the #AutumnStyleFile challenge on Instagram. Only I got my days mixed up and the challenge for the day was actually 'colour makes me happy'. This dress was still perfect for that theme though with the colourful turquoise print.With the turquoise dress I thought the navy blue Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag would be a good accessory, and it's such a nice bag for the office with the structured sides.
Last worn: printed wrap dress, camel flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan satchel.
Other ways to wear: printed wrap dress and ankle boots, camel flats and tights in winter, Rebecca Minkoff Regan satchel and shorts.
Perfect for pregnancy: printed wrap dress in third trimester, camel flats in second trimester.
Rebecca Minkoff Regan Review (And What's In My Bag)
What I wore:
Necklace: Zanele 40 handmade rope necklace
Dress: Atmos&Here Arlette jersey wrap dressShoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black!)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon
Why I wore it:
This was my 'I don't know what to wear' outfit solution. The beautiful zig zag print wrap dress always gets compliments. It's the perfect dress to wear as it goes with any colour of accessories, although again I went with the navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag.There was no style challenge this day to help me pick out what necklace to wear like there was with the first outfit, so I went with this pretty gold beaded necklace that my bestie gave me, I thought it tied in nicely with the gold mouse flats.
Whenever I wear these mouse flats they always get a reaction when someone spots them - usually causing a debate over what animal they are meant to be. They are Marc Jacobs mouse flats, the animal is in the name, but someone suggested they look more like wombats. I'm tempted to call them my golden wombat shoes now next time anyone asks about them! 😂
Last worn: chevron print wrap dress, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag (above).
Other ways to wear: chevron print wrap dress in winter, gold mouse flats and flare jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag and sheath dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: gold mouse flats in second trimester.
Tulip Hem Wrap Dresses Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
A wrap dress is one of those classic wardrobe 'must-have pieces' I completely agree with and think everyone needs in their wardrobe. They work in pregnancy, although you may need to size up to continue to cover an expanding bump. The turquoise printed wrap dress above is a size larger than normal and I wore it through my third trimester. The wrap style is perfect for breastfeeding post-baby too, flattering on any leftover baby bump and something you know will fit even with all the postpartum body changes! And of course, they work in an office setting. A great all-rounder!

Love the colour of that bag and those mouse shoes are the cutest! They are definitely mice, not wombats!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! It's the first time I've heard them described as wombats though and I love it! :)
Deletethese outfits are so cute, I love that bag too

Both dresses look great on you, Mica! I especially like the colours and print of the first dress. The necklace matches perfectly, which I love! I think your mouse flats are so cute and I love that someone suggested they look like wombats! Wombats are one of my fave animals so I think they should definitely be known as golden wombat shoes from now on! Haha ;) XXX
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to call them that next time someone asks, wombat shoes would be so cute! :)
DeleteSuper cute!!! But I prefer the stripes one though!

DeleteI love both of your wrap dresses! The print on both are really pretty and it's a one and done outfit when you are trying to get out the door. Your MJ flats are so fun! I love them whether they are a mouse or a wombat! So so cute! Wishing you a marvelous week! Happy Monday!

NEW POST: PLUFFY RED COAT - SPORTY GLAM LOOK
It's funny because I don't have any wrap dresses but the really are such a classic. The tulip hem gives it a nice extra touch as well. Lovely looks for both days!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear them often, but I am glad to have them in my wardrobe! :) They are a classic!
DeleteWrap dresses are auxh amazing items of clothing, I agree. Discovered them in my first pregnancy and keep loving them, especially for the office.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Linda, Libra, Loca
Yes, they are so good for the office! Easy pregnancy office wear!
DeleteHa, your 'I don't know what to wear' solution is certainly much more creative and gorgeous than mine ever are! :) I also really like the necklace you've picked out. It's amazing how much of a difference a simple accessory can make. I almost never accessorise my outfits, which is a big mistake as I do think they can make a huge impact. Thanks for sharing, and thank you for the lovely comment on my blog as well, it means a lot. <3 xoxo

Your wombat shoes, that is too funny! I'm not even sure exactly what a wombat looks like, ha! I love both of these dresses and am drooling over that bag. I tend to go for function when it comes to bags and I don't buy a ton of them. But I LOVE that navy one and it's making me think I need a navy bag in my life!
ReplyDeleteOh we love wombats here! :) I've only ever seen them in zoos though. Navy is a great bag colour too! :)
DeleteDear Mica, personally I'm a huge fan of wrapped dresses and therefore I absolutely love both of your looks! You definitely chose both times the perfect necklaces and I'm absolutely convinced I would also start a discussion when I would meet you with those mouse (or wombat) shoes :) Really wonderful looks!

ReplyDeleteMica, those wrap dresses look absolutely amazing on you! So beautiful. Love the prints. Love how they fit! The turquoise necklace was a beautiful touch.

Wrap dresses are SO flattering, as you've just proven - you look amazing! The striped one is probably my favourite (got a bit of a soft spot for stripes right now, haha). Your bold statement necklaces are a great idea for the looks too :)
ReplyDeleteaglassofice.com x
Thanks! The stripe one is frequently a favourite - it's the classic black and white I think!
DeleteI love wrap dresses. They look beautiful. You both dresses are pretty but my favorite is definitely the striped one. You look so pretty even in both dresses <3

I'm shaped like a box so I've never really been able to make wrap dresses work for me, but I live in hope there's one out there just waiting for me. I like the orange necklace/black and white dress combo, it's a good'un.
ReplyDeleteI'm petite so often don't find ones that work, maybe you need to try a tall one? I got lucky with these, from the regular line.
DeleteI just love that zig zag print dress, especially with your colorful beaded necklace! I am sure it gets you compliments all the time! I love that it is neutral enough to go with any accessories, but the wrap fit and zig zag print make it special. Hope you are having a great start to your week!
ReplyDeleteit does - definitely a favourite that dress!
DeleteBoth dresses are really cute, and of course, I love the Regan satchel :)
ReplyDeleteI would have reservations about the length/tulip hem too, as a shorter gal, but you look fantastic! And golden wombat shoes! hahaha!
ReplyDeletelove your outfit you look great!

Go with the Golden Wombat Shoes! They're YOURS, you can call them what you want! I love both dresses - that wrap high-low hem is very flattering on. It makes you look both tall and leggy, which is pretty sweet! Lovely!
ReplyDeletehehe yes! I like the way you think :) And thank you.
DeleteYou look beautiful dear! And the first dress really complements your lovely eyes. I love wrap dresses too, especially with sleeves, they are comfy and can make for a polished look!

Hello Mica!
ReplyDeleteYou really like that wallet ... I also have this problem, what accessories to use? Sometimes I think more is less, but I also like to see acressories complement the looks and this forces me to be more creative. These dresses are a must have of any closet.
I hope you have a great week and thank you for your words on my blog.

Yes it can be fun having lots of accessories to complement your outfit!
DeleteI'm still on the fence whether or not I cant still rock a wrap dress or not. I had a few back after I had Penny when the office had a strict dress code. They no longer fit and the office is jeans friendly (yay) now.
ReplyDeleteSo I HAD to click the link to see these "wombat shoes" up close. lol They are actually super cute! Mouse, wombat, whateves. (;
haha yes, no matter what they are called, they are cute! I think you can definitely still rock a wrap dress - and they are great for breastfeeding too!
DeleteI like both dresses. Another plus on printed dresses is that if they get dirty, its not that noticeable !
ReplyDeleteHow was it wearing the tulip cut, were you able to sit comfortably?
Because the tulip hem is quite low and it's a wrap style it's so easy to wear as it doesn't 'spilt' very high. Very comfortable!
DeleteI love this little take on a wrap dress. The tulip hemline is so cute. I also LOVE that striped one so much!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mylittlenest.org
Love both the dresses and that hem line really is flattering. One of my favourite looks Mica. x Have a super week. Jacqui Mummabstylish

While I love both on you, I think the first printed one has the edge! It's so pretty and very flattering, as well as complementary! Wrap dresses aren't something I ever seem to wear, you've inspired me to change that!
