Red Midi Dresses For The Office Before Christmas

Wore some Kmart red midi dresses for the last couple of days at work before the Christmas break. Nice and festive, but not too over the top.


What I wore:






Earrings: glitter gingerbread earrings
Necklacevintage gold initial necklace
DressKmart red flora printed wrap dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus advent calendar charm bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag


Why I wore it:

In my last week at the office before Christmas, my team had a Christmas lunch catch up. I knew I wanted to bring the festive vibes, but not look too out of place for the majority of the day in the office. I thought this coral red Kmart wrap dress was the perfect piece to wear. I've worn it lots of times outside of Christmas, and worn it for Christmas celebrations too, it's a good all-rounder dress.

I knew I'd nailed the outfit for the day when the lady I sat next to at lunch was also wearing gingerbread man earrings!

I liked the little red bag with this too, although not the same shade of coral as the dress I liked the reds together.


Last worn: gingerbread earrings, gold initial necklace, coral print wrap dress, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted burgundy and cream beaded statement necklace
DressKmart Whsdch Red short sleeved tiered midi dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

Another coral red dress for another day in the office. This was a hectic one, my last day at the office before the Christmas break so I was rushing trying to get everything done. But with the coral red dress and the burgundy necklace, and little glittery Santa hat stud earrings, I felt a little festive. Especially when I decided to wear my silver glitter sneakers. I thought the silver chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag matched with the shoes nicely.

I am surprised I haven't worn this burgundy beaded statement necklace with this coral red dress before. I liked the extra touch of red against the dress, even though it's a different shade, and I felt it made the outfit a little less casual for all my meetings as well.


Last worn: burgundy beaded necklace, coral tiered midi dress, silver glitter sneakers, Stella McCartney Falabella bag. First time I've worn the earrings.
 
Other ways to wear: coral tiered midi dress and tote, silver glitter sneakers and shorts, Stella McCartney Falabella bag and jeans.

Green and Red: Blue Singlet and Maxi Skirt Outfits

Wearing skirts and singlets for some very humid summer days in Brisbane! Both these outfits feature the same basic formula, just with different colours.


What I wore:



Earrings: gold angel stud earrings
Necklace: thrifted Belle Folie multi colour tassel necklace
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Skirt: thrifted NWT Beginning Boutique Sahara red-orange maxi skirt
ShoesLes Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie regular shoulder bag in Luna blue


Why I wore it:

Wore this to go to church and run a couple of errands afterwards. I really like this thrifted tiered maxi skirt, it's the perfect in-between red and orange shade so it looks so good with a neutral like navy. I added a little more colour to it with the fun tassel necklace, also an opshop find.

I added even more blue with the Luna blue Rebecca Minkoff Edie shoulder bag. It's been a while since I've worn it, and it works so well with red and other shades of blue that it seemed like the obvious accessory for this outfit.


Last worn: angel stud earrings, navy tank, tassel necklace, tiered maxi skirt, sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag.

Other ways to wearnavy tank and shorts, tiered maxi skirt and denim jacket, sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Edie bag and dress.







What I wore:






Earrings: Avocado Santa hat earrings
Necklace: thrifted bronze foil statement necklace
Dress: Jeanswest 'Jenni' basic singlet in Hawaii blue
Skirt: Kmart breeze green broderie anglaise midi skirt
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagChloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut


Why I wore it:

As I so often do, this outfit is me repeating an outfit formula again that worked so well previously. I chose a brighter blue tank to wear with this green broderie midi skirt, and added a little extra green with my avocado Santa hat earrings and the green hair tie. I had to tie my hair back as it was just too hot and humid to leave it down! We had a birthday party at an indoor play place to attend in the morning, and then we were planning to view the Christmas lights in the evening. Unfortunately the massive storms that blew in meant we couldn't keep to our evening plans, but at least the kids had fun at the birthday party.

Wore my big Chloe Marcie shoulder bag as it holds all the essentials easily, and it has extra space for water bottles for the kids. It's thirsty work at an indoor play area for a birthday party, especially on such a humid day!


Last worn: avocado earrings, bronze foil necklace, blue singlet, green broderie skirt, leather Converse, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag.

Other ways to wearblue singlet and shorts, green broderie skirt and blazer, leather Converse and dress, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: blue singlet in second trimester.
