Colourful Tees and Pencil Skirts

Two simple but colourful office outfits with crew neck tees, textured pencil skirts, Converse and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bags.

What I wore:

Necklace: thrifted cream and navy statement flat bead necklace
Tee: thrifted Cotton On The one crew tee in green
Skirt: Warehouse navy jacquard pencil skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

I like green and blue together, so it seems like an obvious pairing to wear this navy jacquard pencil skirt with the green crew neck tee. Of course I couldn't settle on just one shade of blue with this tee, so I added more. The tee is a really nice green that goes with everything, from the pastel blue of the Converse or the darker bluey-grey of the Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag, and the navy in the statement necklace and pencil skirt.

It's been a while since I've worn this necklace, but the green tee with the high neckline was the perfect backdrop for it I felt.


Last worn: statement necklace, green tee, jacquard pencil skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: green tee and jeans, jacquard pencil skirt with pink, blue Converse and dress, Rebecca Minkoff blue mini MAC bag and shorts.

What I wore:

Earrings: Target solid silver hoops
Necklace: thrifted gold and cream multi strand pearl necklace
Tee: thrifted Target crew neck tee coral red
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Edenborough Evans 'Ivy' silver cuff
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather 

Why I wore it:

Because I love a good easily repeatable outfit formula, another office day and the same outfit. This time I went with a red tee and a textured silver pencil skirt. Again I added a statement necklace, Converse and a little Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag. This aquamarine one adds a touch more colour to the outfit, it's a great pop against the coral red of the tee.

I did add a few more accessories to this to try and elevate the outfit a little for the office, with another statement necklace, the silver hoop earrings, and the silver cuff bracelet. Just like the outfit above, while the colours and pieces are different, I really like this outfit formula of tee, pencil skirt and Converse for my business casual office.


Last worn: coral tee, silver hoop earrings, faux pearl necklace, silver pencil skirt, white Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

Other ways to wear: coral tee and shorts, silver pencil skirt and jacket, white Converse and dress, aqua mini MAC bag and jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

Printed Dresses and Sneakers With Rebecca Minkoff Mini Darren Messenger Bag

While it is officially autumn in Brisbane, some days have still felt very summer like! So I took advantage of the warmer temps to wear some simple printed dresses and sneakers with my little olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren messenger bag.

What I wore:

Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Dress: thrifted peach and white floral print tiered sundress
Shoes: Nike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

It was such a hot and humid day when I wore this dress - it's a very light and comfortable tiered sundress that I thrifted a while ago and I enjoy it every time I wear it. It was the perfect style for such a warm day. I had the school run and working from home to do, and we took the opportunity to check in on some neighbours we hadn't seen earlier post cyclone too, now that all the roads were clear, and make sure they were doing okay after the damage to their properties.

Because I had a bit of walking around to do I wore these super comfortable Nike Court Royale sneakers. I liked how they matched the white in the background of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff Darren bag doesn't match anything in my outfit, but I liked the contrast of the orange and olive together.


Last worn: metallic faux pearl necklace, palm print tiered sundress, Nike Court Royale sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag.

Other ways to wear: palm print tiered sundress and denim jacket, Nike Court Royale sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper recycled metal turquoise tassel earring
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress 
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco gunmetal twisted bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff olive mini Darren

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun weekend! We had a couple of errands to run to get some Scout stuff for the kids, but we also had a wildlife show to attend which the kids and I loved. It's so fun getting to see them get up close and personal with all the amazing native animals we have around Brisbane!

As it was a hot day I went with this simple striped shift dress, originally from my sisters wardrobe, it's a firm favourite of mine in the warmer months. I added a little colour to it with the tassel earrings and the blue Converse - although not matching shades of blue I liked them both together with the black and white stripes of the dress. The olive Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag was another way to add more colour to the outfit, and with the statement earrings I didn't feel the need to add a necklace to this outfit.

Last worn: tassel earrings, gunmetal bracelet stack, striped shift dress, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped shift dress and purple, blue Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff mini Darren bag and shorts.
