Tiered Linen Dresses and Upcycled Denim Tote Bag

When I shared in my wardrobe update post that I'd bought this upcycled denim tote bag I mentioned I love wearing it with dresses, just like I'm doing in both of these outfits.


What I wore:






NecklaceZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
DressKmart short sleeve tiered frill mini dress in Papaya
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Vinnies blue and natural wooden bead bracelet stack
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag


Why I wore it:

Despite it being officially autumn in Queensland, and it being the end of summer when I wore this, it was a hot and humid day so I felt like I needed a nice light linen dress. There was the school drop off and a quick errand to run before it was back home to look after my son who was recovering from surgery.

This dress is such a nice bright mango yellow shade, and I love the way the blue wash of the jeans turned tote bag works with it. I added the blue beaded necklace to match the bag, and then the turquoise beaded bracelet stack was another touch of blue against the yellow dress too.


Last worn: beaded necklace, Kmart linen dress, turquoise beaded bracelet stack, braided sandals, upcycled denim tote bag.

Other ways to wearKmart linen dress and orange bag, braided sandals and skirt, upcycled denim tote bag and shorts.






What I wore:






Necklace: thrifted Eb&Ive turquoise wooden bead multi strand statement necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart short sleeved tiered linen dress in coco brown
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: thrifted re-Up upcycled denim tote bag


Why I wore it:

Another hot summer day, so another Kmart linen dress! I wore sneakers with this brown tiered linen dress as we had a bit of driving to do! We had to pick up a birthday present and then we went to a birthday party in the afternoon. My son had so much fun at the party, it was worth the confusion of getting lost on the way there, as I hadn't been to the venue before and the GPS was not as helpful as it could have been with the directions, ha!

While the venue was air conditioned I appreciated this light dress very much for the rest of the day. I had to bring water bottles for my son and I, so again I wore this upcycled denim tote bag. Just like in the first outfit with the brighter dress I added wooden turquoise accessories, this multi strand statement beaded necklace was a great pop of colour against the neutral brown linen dress, even if it doesn't match the blue denim wash of the tote bag.

Note: we are in the direct path of Cyclone Alfred, this is a pre-scheduled post. We had time to prepare our home the best we could, and I have a few posts scheduled as I don't know what the impact will have been as I type this.
