Blue Tanks, Denim Shorts, Yellow Bag and Printed Cover Ups

Sticking again with easily repeatable outfit formulas for some hot spring days recently. Both these outfits have a little yellow bag, blue tanks, denim shorts and a printed cover up.


What I wore:






JacketWoven Heart gold floral kimono
Necklace: thrifted wooden yellow tassel necklace
TankCle The Label Amelia tank in indigo 
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
ShoesSketchers Bountiful navy fabric sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

Although the yellow tassel necklace is a slightly lighter shade of yellow than that in the bag, I liked the almost matchy-matchy-ness of the two accessories together. I picked this fun floral cover up to go on top as it has yellow in the flower print, but it doesn't really show too much in the photos because of how it's draped. I really liked this combination though!

Went with a simple blue tank untucked over my Bermuda denim shorts and my comfortable Sketchers sneakers as we headed out for a citizen science event at a local bushland reserve. I knew it would be a hot day with a lot of walking, so wanted to keep my knee comfortable. Luckily because I was there with the kids we were sorted into the kid group and there wasn't too much walking, but we still did manage to see an awesome number of bugs so they had a great time.

What I wore:






JacketJeanswest Kensley summer tie-dye kimono
Necklace: thrifted yellow beaded statement pendant long necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:


While I didn't need the navy tie dye duster for sun protection on my shoulders like I did with the floral cover up in the first photo, I still love the combination of a printed cover up with a plain tank. This turquoise one works well with other shades of blue and I really liked it with the tie dye cover up and the blue denim shorts. 

Again I went matchy-matchy with the yellow accessories, the same Rebeccaa Minkoff mini 5-zip bag, and this yellow beaded necklace. Even added a little yellow hair tie to further match. I like yellow and blue together.

It was a bit of a busy day, with the school run, working from home, and a couple appointments for the kids in the afternoon. I liked this outfit for keeping me cool and comfortable for all the running around.


Last worn: navy tie dye cover up, yellow necklace, turquoise tank, denim shorts, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag (above).

Kmart Anko Floral Midi Dresses And Yellow Bags

Two very different Kmart Anko floral midi dresses I wore to the office recently, both accessorised with Converse and yellow crossbody bags.


What I wore:






NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5 zip


Why I wore it:

I really like how great this dress is for the office! It was a bargain $12 Kmart clearance sale find a while back and it always gets compliments. This is the first time I've tired wearing it with yellow and I really liked the combination. The yellow Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag was a great pop against the teal floral dress.

I kept the rest of the accessories simple with a Tiffany necklace and my comfortable blue Converse for the commute to work.


Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, teal floral print midi dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wearteal floral print midi dress and leather jacket, blue Converse and skirt, Rebecca Minkoff yellow mini 5-zip bag and shorts.







What I wore:






Earrings: handmade pink star clay earrings made by my sister
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart long sleeve black tie neck dress in floral wisteria print
Belt: came with dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs labradorite bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

Another Kmart floral midi dress, this one a lucky $2 find! It's definitely a firm favourite, as like the one above it's perfect casually and in the office too. I've been on a bit of a yellow bag kick recently so again I tried a yellow bag with this floral dress. The mustard micro Regan hasn't been worn in a while, it was good to get it out again. Just like in the outfit above, it doesn't match any of the colours in the dress, but I enjoyed the pop of colour it gave against the mostly black dress.

Wore my black Converse with this, again as they are such comfortable shoes for the commute! And also because my sister had the kids, I met up with them after I finished work and we headed out to check out the Titanic exhibition in the city. It was an interesting way to end the work day.
