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.

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.

Pink Tees and Black And White Maxi Skirts With Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

Two very colourful outfits, by wearing pink tees with monochromatic black and white printed maxi skirts.


What I wore:






Necklace: Lovisa silver love knitted heart pendant necklace
TeeJeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Skirt: thrifted SES Fashions vertical stripe maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus old neon pink bracelet stack
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

This was such a fun day! Kicking off the school holidays the kids went to a vet convention at a nearby vets - it was designed to give the kids a taste for vet life and they loved it, getting to see the animals, the operating rooms, and even had some doggie patients. I even managed a little browse at the opshop too, dropping off more donations, before the kids saw a movie.

I wore this vertical striped maxi skirt as I felt it hadn't been worn in a while! And I thought the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and black sandals were good matchy-matchy accessories with it. Even the knotted heart necklace matched the silver hardware on the Falabella bag.

The neon pink bracelets don't match the pink of the tee at all, but I saw them in my wardrobe and thought they would be a fun addition with this. With the chain on the Stella McCartney Falabella bag and the bangles on my wrist, this was quite a noisy outfit whenever I moved! I still liked it though.



Last worn: pink tee, knotted heart necklace, vertical stripe maxi skirt, strappy sandals, Stella McCartney Falabella bag.

TeeCle The Label Charlotte tee in ombre rose
Skirt: thrifted Kmart black and white boho print maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Anko Kmart black strappy sandals
Bracelets: the usual
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

Kept it really simple here for another kids' birthday party, with the black and white printed maxi skirt and the ombre pink tee. Just like the outfit above, I wore the same black strappy sandals, with the Stella McCartney Falabella bag for a little matchy-matchy. Unlike the outfit above though, I didn't add a necklace to this. I thought the ombre pink of the tee was interesting enough, and just added some statement earrings. I did wonder if I should have worn a necklace with this when I looked at the photos, but it didn't worry me when I was wearing the outfit as just like the outfit above, I enjoyed wearing this. The birthday party was really fun too, the kids always have a great time when the party is at the bowling alley!
