Printed Tanks and Black Rebecca Minkoff Unlined Tote Bag

Two printed tank outfits I wore recently for different sprint days, one for a cooler day with an extra cardigan, and another on a warmer day with just a simple tank and shorts together.


What I wore:






Jacket: thrifted Dotti black cocoon cape cardigan
Earrings: gold heart and pearl earrings
Necklace: Jeanswest Taryn turquoise tassel bead necklace
Tank: Jeanswest 'Hannah' print tank in paradise pink multi
Jeans: thrifted Jeanswest faded black cropped butt lifter jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs black leather Swarovski beaded wrap bracelet
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

It was a colder, cloudy spring day so I pulled out another cardigan. This black cocoon cardigan is a cosy favourite, and I thought it was nice with the matching black converse, skinny jeans, and Rebecca Minkoff black tote bag. With all the black, the coral brushstroke tank really stood out. I haven't worn this tank for a while, and it was overdue a wear! 

This was a really easy and comfortable outfit as after work we had to attend a high school tour with my son. I picked the big Rebecca Minkoff tote bag as it fits all the essentials I needed plus water bottles for us as well.


Last worn: black cocoon cardigan, pearl earring, tassel necklace, brushstroke tank, wrap bracelet, faded skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote.

Other ways to wearblack cocoon cardigan and white jeans, brushstroke tank and maxi skirt, faded skinny jeans and leather jacket, Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and shorts.

What I wore:



Tank: thrifted Target mixed print colourful printed tank
ShortsJeanswest Parker printed shirred short
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware


Why I wore it:

This was a much warmer spring day, so I didn't need the jeans or a cardigan. The humidity meant these light printed shorts were a good choice, and I thought I'd try a little print mixing with the bright tank. Although different, the prints all worked together nicely. I didn't wear a necklace as the outfit was busy enough with the prints together, and also because it was a bit too warm and humid to want to wear any extra accessories!

I worked from home after the school run, and then picked the kids up from school in the afternoon before  sports. I didn't need such a large tote bag as I wasn't carrying much, but this was a nice easy one to carry and I liked how it matched the black shorts and black sandals.


Last worn: printed tank, printed shorts, strappy sandals, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag (above).

Other ways to wearprinted tank and mustard cardigan, printed shorts and graphic tee, strappy sandals and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag and dress.

Wrap Dresses, Converse and Green Mini 5-Zip Bag

Wearing two printed wrap dresses and my little green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag for office days recently.


What I wore:






Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Target Dannii Minogue Petites printed faux wrap dress
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Every time I wear this faux wrap dress I love it and wonder why it goes so long between wears! It was the perfect dress to wear on this hotter spring day. With some green in the print, I chose my little Rebecca Minkoff green Mini 5-zip bag to wear with it, even though the greens are different shades I really liked the darker green bag against this dress. And the blue Converse are also a different shade from the blue in the geometric print, but again I liked the combination.

Kept the necklace simple with my silver Tiffany notes heart necklace, and had a cardigan at my desk in case I got cold in the office aircon with the sleeveless dress. Didn't need it though, I got pretty warmed up just on the commute to the office!


Last worn: Tiffany heart necklace, Dannii Minogue faux wrap dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag.

Other ways to wearDannii Minogue faux wrap dress and blazer, blue Converse and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff green mini 5-zip bag and skirt.

What I wore:






Earrings: DIY green and red marble clay circle earrings
NecklaceTiffany & Co pink double heart tag pendant necklace layered with Chanel necklace
DressAtmos&Here Arlette jersey wrap dress
Shoesthrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag


Why I wore it:

Another wrap dress from the depth of my wardrobe that was overdue a wear! Unfortunately I didn't love this outfit as much as the one above. I did like the black and white print with the pops of green from the Mini 5-zip bag and the green and red clay earrings I made, but the tulip hem of the dress was frustrating me a few times through the day as I sat at my desk. It was also quite a hot day for long sleeved wrap dress with such thick material, which may have made me more frustrated with it!

The dress is quite busy with the print and with the green statement earrings I wasn't sure what necklaces to add. Ended up layering two silver simple chain necklaces, as one on its own didn't look quite right. I liked the layered necklaces together, and I should wear them together more often.
