Striped Tanks and Thrifted Maxi Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

When I bought these maxi skirts last month I knew I wanted to wear them with stripes right away! Although I just shared about them on Wednesday's Monthly purchase post, today I'm showing more details about some of the ways I've worn them. With a plain block colour maxi skirt, a striped tank is a great pairing.

TopAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt (new purchase)
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

I really love the colour of this maxi skirt! As you can see it seems to change colour in different lights - it looks pretty similar to the tan bag at first but as you can see in the Insta pic it's a much more yellow tone. I did like the tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag with it though. It was the perfect size for carrying the essentials when we popped into the grocery store after church.

Unfortunately we didn't quite miss the storm was was threatening though and I got a little drenched running to the car! This maxi skirt was not fun to wear when wet! Will need to remember to keep it to rain-free days only.

With the striped tank and the block colour maxi skirt I added just a little print mixing with the tortoiseshell necklace. Simple outfit for a stormy day.

BagRebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag in almond

Why I wore it:

My other recently thrifted maxi skirt, I went a little more matchy-matchy with this one and stuck with a navy stripe tank to match the navy skirt. I even picked a blue beaded necklace to tie in with it too, along with the navy Havaianas!

The tan Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag was a nice bit of contrast with the navy - I really like the two neutrals together. Great outfit for the school run and a few errands on a hot summer day.

How You Can Wear It:

A striped tank is a great wardrobe basic! It's so simple and easy to wear with a plain block colour maxi skirt, as you don't have to worry about prints clashing. You can stick with a neutral coloured crossbody bag like I have here to let the maxi skirt be the star of your outfit.

  1. I love stripes paired with a plain block coloured piece. Especially loving the singlets paired with a nice maxi skirt. That amber coloured skirt of yours is so stunning; what a beautiful shade on you.

  11. While I love both of these easy-going outfits, my favourite is the rust coloured maxi paired with the navy striped top. It somehow manages to look but casual and dressed up! Love the bag with this outfit too! Wishing you a great weekend, Mica! xxx

  15. Camera bags have been super trendy lately! I saw one from LV the other day and seriously contemplated on buying it. I love your outfit - the colors matched well together, especially with your bag and clothes. I need to do a better job of that because my bag is either the LV mono or white!! I am a big fan of the combo of your second outfit! Have a great weekend xx

  35. Stripes are always a good option and the striped tanks you chose to style these skirts with give both outfits the perfect effortless chic vibe. It's too bad you did not manage to avoid the rain when wearing the first look. Maxi skirts are definitely not fun to wear when wet.
