Linen Tiered Dresses and Falabella Bag

Converse, linen tiered dresses and my thrifted Stella McCartney Falabella bag for office wear recently.


What I wore:




Earrings: Kmart teal tassel earrings
Necklace: thrifted wooden geometric bead necklace
Dress: Anko Kmart short sleeved tiered linen dress in coco brown
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus thrifted cream resin bangle, Vinnies green glitter resin bangle and Polka Luka teal resin bangle
Bagthrifted Stella McCartney Falabella fold-over tote in midnight black


Why I wore it:

It was a very hot and humid day with an afternoon storm predicted, so I wore this brown linen tiered dress to the office. It's so nice on hot and humid days like this was. With the neutral brown, I added more colour with the teal tassel earrings, and then continued on with green accessories with the wooden beaded necklace and the fun resin bracelets.

I went matchy-matchy with the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag and the black Converse too. A nice and practical outfit. I managed to miss the worst of the storm in the afternoon, as we watched it blow through the city and into the suburbs from the office. And thankfully I was able to take another route home after the storm hit our suburb and caused significant damage. There was just some plant damage in our garden from the hail for us, we got off lucky!

Why I wore it:

Another day in the office and another linen tiered dress. This was back at the end of January before school went back, so after wrapping up my work day the kids and I spent some time at the museum and they had fun looking at insects. Although not as humid as the day above, I still appreciated this cool linen dress on the hot day. It's such a cheerful colour too. 

With the black Stella McCartney Falabella bag against the orange dress, I added white accessories to stop it looking too Halloween-ish, with the white threaded faux pearl necklace and the white Converse.

Grey Skirt Outfits With Purple

Brightening up some grey skirt outfits by adding a little bit of purple.


What I wore:





EarringsMIMCO fleur stud silver earrings
Necklace: handmade silver and gold faux pearl beaded necklace
Tee: Kmart basic purple tee
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
ShoesNike Court Royale white and beige sneakers
Bracelets: the usual
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur Neverfull


Why I wore it:

Needed a comfortable and practical outfit for my son's surgery. The Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote bag fits everything with both needed to keep us happy and distracted with all the waiting around, it's such a good tote bag.

Kept my outfit simple with this little beaded necklace I made, good for my son to fidget with if needed. And I was cosy and comfortable in the grey pinstripe jersey maxi skirt, and sneakers. I thought the purple tee was a nice way to add some colour and lightness to the outfit that would have been a bit too neutral without the block colour tee.

Skirt: Salvos Nobody Denim grey distressed denim skirt
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Mimco Slay to the rhythm bracelet in silver
BagPolene numero neuf mini in textured mauve 


Why I wore it:


Just like the outfit above, this felt a bit plain and neutral with the grey denim skirt, and the grey tee. I added a little more colour with purple again, although lighter shades this time. I really liked the resulting outfit though! The purple floral cover up is something I've worn with the lilac Polene Numero neuf mini bag before, I really like the pairing! And I added another beaded necklace, this one was an opshop find.

I had a couple of errands to run and a few things to donate to the opshop that I hadn't managed to drop off before Christmas. of course I had a bit of a browse as well, and ended up with a few more books to replace the ones the kids had grown out of that I'd just donated!
