What I wore:
Teee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine (similar in black)
Dress: Jeanswest 'Elodie' tie dye grey jersey maxi dress (worn as skirt)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather
Why I wore it:
We had a pretty quiet day planned when I wore this. Taking advantage of hubby having the day off, we took the boys to the doctors for their flu vaccination. It was helpful having another set of hands as injections are never pleasant! After the stressful morning, we took the boys out for lunch as a treat, then it was back home for massive naps from them both.It's not the first time I've worn the aqua mini MAC bag with burgundy (seen before here with burgundy pants), I really like the combination. The mini MAC bag is worn frequently with this tie dye dress too. Loving all of these pieces separately and combined, I of course loved this outfit. So much that I repeated the formula again a few days later with different pieces as you can see below.
Last worn: burgundy tee, tie dye maxi dress, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag.
Other ways to wear: burgundy tee and skinny jeans, tie dye maxi dress worn knotted, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag and purple jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: burgundy tee for second trimester travel, tie dye maxi dress in third trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aquamarine mini MAC bag at 39 weeks.
Family Day Out Vlog: Brisbane Kite Festival
What I wore:
Tee: Atmos&Here grey v-neck tee with rolled sleeves (also in black)
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chantelle' crochet detail blue printed maxi dress (worn as skirt)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
We took the boys out to the Brisbane Kite Festival for something a little different! It was a lot of fun, as you can see from the video above. There were so many kites for the boys to watch, and we ended up buying and flying our own kite for a little bit too. It was the first time they'd flown a kite, and I don't even know how many years it's been since I flew one.It was a really windy but sunny day, so I wore the knotted tee over a maxi dress outfit again. It was the perfect layer to act as a physical sunblock on my shoulders too, as I forgot a hat. I think my big sun hat would have flown off a few times if I'd worn it though.
As mentioned in the video, I felt it was time to get my MAM bag out again. Someone had asked a question about it on YouTube so I'd filmed a video for it and didn't want to put it back in its dust bag without giving it a wear!
Last worn: grey v-neck tee, blue printed maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff MAM.
Other ways to wear: grey v-neck tee and printed jeans, blue printed maxi dress and matching bag, Rebecca Minkoff MAM worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: grey v-neck tee in second trimester, blue printed maxi dress at 39 weeks pregnant, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in third trimester.
Slouchy V-Neck Tees Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
On a slightly cooler day a tee over a maxi dress is a great layering option, as it doesn't make you too warm. If your tee is long and slouchy, knotting it at the side is a great option to make it sit just right. Perfect for late spring or early autumn, it one way you can get more wear from your favourite summer maxi dresses.

NEW POST: LOOKBOOK PRIMAVERA / 3 OUTFITS
I really like this outfit formula, it looks perfect in both versions. The purple shades in the first version are so wonderful, but I like the second version with blue and grey just as much. Wonderful styling!
ReplyDeleteGood to have gotten the injections done, I know that can be stressful as kids never like needles.
Yeah luckily it didn't go too badly with the injections!
DeleteHappy Friday Mica! I absolutely adore both looks. Layering with a tee was a great idea and the knot added a special touch to the look! I purchased another maxi so I now have two..yaay:)..and I really love both:) Thanks always for the inspiration and I pray you and your family have a blessed weekend.

This is such a cozy look! I should try doing this as well. Thanks for the tip dear.

Glad I could give you some inspiration! :)
DeleteMy kids do like their vaccinations. It is a little strange, but I think they are so fascinated by the toys they can pick one from afterwards that they brave the needles without fear.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Linda, Libra, Loca
That's a good way to be I think!
DeleteLove this styling idea for summer! I adore the tie dye maxi dress!

This is such a great idea...I think about layering a top over a regular dress, but I haven't done it over a maxi dress!! Brilliant!!

I need to try it over a regular dress next! :)
DeleteLayering a tee over a maxi dress is such an easy easy to change up the look of any dress and the added warmth and coverage can be welcome too especially as the temperature starts to drop. Happy weekend Mica!
ReplyDeleteYes, it works so well for that!
DeleteGot to love it when the hubby is off work. I haven't try a tee shirt over a maxi dress before. So going to have a to give it a try. Also the kite fest sound like a lot of fun. Have a great weekend.

Little Tyke screams like we're torturing him whenever he goes for vaccination or at least he did in the past. It's always an embarrassing experience. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteShireen⎜Reflection of Sanity
Oh no, that would be so tough! I think the doctors are used to it though!
Deletemaxi dresses really are perfect for transitional weather, and the kite festival sounds like a really fun event for the boys!

I love the turquoise popping off the burgundy - well done on that stellar combination. I like the idea of a top over a maxi dress, although tees are too casual for my taste. The kite fest sounds like a blast! We have a really windy point on the water here that a lot of kite-flyers use - it's so fun to watch them!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, my dear!
Thanks Sheila! It was nice to think of a different way to wear my tees, and I do like the colours together!
DeleteI love both looks! So cute

Hi Mica
ReplyDeleteI've never tried to wear a tee over a maxi dress, it's an idea to think !!! I liked the second look most. Oh I don't like to see small children take the vaccines, poor little ones their little arms are so delicate, it's still good that you took them off!
Have a great weekend !!

DeleteThat's a great idea! You get two different looks that way! Your cooling off and we're heating up here. It's gonna be in the 90s this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes it's nice to think of a different way to wear my dresses! :) Enjoy your warmer weather!
DeleteI love layering a tee over a maxi dress too! It's such a cool way to wear your same old dresses :) Super cute! Happy weekend!

This is such a fun trick to add a tee over your dress. I like it! This way you can wear the dress two days in a row :)

Love the blue and grey! They work so well together and the tee over the maxi makes the outfit look so casual and perfect for everyday wear! I love it!
ReplyDeleteKHVDIJA | http://www.khvdija.co.uk
Thanks! I really like blue and grey together too!
DeleteSuch a cool idea to put tee over a maxi. I like it that you can still wear it on Autumn which is actually better than summer where you get really hot in maxi. I hope your boys are doing better this weekend. I took my toddler yesterday for his 4 year old immunisation and had a bad night prior to sleep. Wishing you a relaxing weekend.
ReplyDeletewww.busyandfab.com
Yes it's a nice way to be a little warmer in autumn! Luckily the boys weren't too cranky after their immunisations!
DeleteAdorei o look e as fotos:)

Dear Mica, such a great outfit formula! I think I have never worn a maxi dress with a shirt over it but the idea is cool and I see you feel well in those combinations. How good your husband had his day off when you had this challenging morning - no wonder your boys felt asleep at home! Happy weekend!

Thanks Rena! I'm glad you liked the outfit formula! :)
DeleteThe tee over the maxi dress is such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why I never thought of layering a t-shirt over a maxi dress before - it feels like such an obvious thing to do and how handy to get a few more combinations out of the pieces too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

DeleteI never would have thought that first tee was layered over a dress! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great way to make a dress look like a skirt!
DeleteI like the purple and gray! Maybe that's because your adorable dog photobombed that one though ;)
ReplyDeletehaha, he is the cutest!

ReplyDeleteOh, you know this is something I've never actually tried before - what a lovely idea! It's also ideal for if it's a little too cool to wear a maxi dress on its alone, or alternatively, if you've burnt your shoulders the day before haha ;) Have a fabulous week ahead!

ReplyDeletehttp://www.thequinoxfashion.com
You've picked the perfect cut of tee to have over a maxi dress. Great looks xx
ReplyDeleteLayering over a maxi dress is such a nice way to get more use out of the dress and depending on activity really helps tone it down. I love that the dress peaks through on the top as if you are wearing a bralette or sports bra. I get weary about flashing people with lower necklines and I like how the dress prevents this from happening. Of course, I have to give a shout out to your bags! Love love love them both!
ReplyDeleteMaureen | www.littlemisscasual.com
Thanks Maureen! It's definitely a fun way to layer!
DeleteI have actually never done a tee over a maxi dress before, so that's a new combo to me! It looks great though, really easy going!
