Kmart Linen Shorts and Blue Printed Cover Ups With Upcycled Denim Tote Bag

Two colourful linen shorts outfits I wore recently, with blue printed cover ups and my awesome upcycled denim tote bag.

What I wore:

Duster: Jeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Shorts: thrifted Kmart turquoise linen shorts
Shoes:  slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

Bright and colourful for working from home and doing the school run. With the turquoise linen shorts, and the navy tie dye duster I added even more blue with this upcycled blue jeans turned into a tote bag. I didn't really need to carry that much to need such a big bag, but it was nice to have even more blue in this outfit. Even the blue beaded necklace and the navy Havaianas meet that theme. It's just the mustard yellow tank for a bit of contrasting colour. I like the way the yellow pops against the navy and the turquoise linen shorts.

Last worn: tie dye duster, blue beaded necklace, mustard tank, turquoise linen shorts, Havaianas. First time I've worn the upcycled denim tote bag as it's a recent opshop find.

Other ways to wear: tie dye duster and jeans, mustard tank and skirt, turquoise linen shorts and graphic tee.

Tee: Atmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Shorts: thrifted Kmart fuchsia linen blend shorts

Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag

Why I wore it:

Another hot and humid summer day in Brisbane, another pair of linen shorts! Like the turquoise pair above, these were also a lucky opshop find and are perfect on warm days. I went with a simple white tee as the shorts are colourful enough, and then added the floral print cover up for a bit of additional physical sunblock.

Unlike the first outfit, I needed all the capacity of the denim tote bag on this day as we had snacks and water bottles as we spent the day down the coast at Movie World, checking out the new Wizard of Oz rides. They were so much fun! All of the walking meant I picked my extra comfortable Sketchers sneakers for the extra support for my knee as well.


Last worn: blue printed cover up, blue beaded necklace, white tee, fuchsia pink linen shorts, Sketchers, Re-UP upcycled denim tote bag (above).

Other ways to wear: blue printed cover up and skirt, white tee and jeans, fuchsia pink linen shorts and stripes, Sketchers and dress.
