Blue Printed Dresses and Pink Crossbody Bags

Enjoying warmer spring weekends in two different blue printed dresses, both accessorised with little pink crossbody bags.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette silver filigree leaf diamante statement earrings
Dress: Iris Maxi The Label flora print blue and white mini dress
Shoes: thrifted Seed Heritage tan braided sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus silver and turquoise bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB crossbody with studs in desert rose

Why I wore it:

Wore this for lunch at my parent's place down the coast. My sister got me this dress for Christmas and it's so beautiful! First time I've worn it with this Rebecca Minkoff studded MAB crossbody bag, but I liked the muted pink with the pale blue print of the dress. Sadly did manage to spill food on this dress, but thankfully it washed off! And given that this is the fourth time I've worn this dress I'm surprised it hasn't been spilled on more often already, ha!

Added silver statement earrings with this rather than a necklace, although unfortunately they are a little hard to see in the photos. And just a pair of simple sandals for the heat. These ones I picked up at the opshop in winter, knowing they'd be great in the warmer weather.


Last worn: silver earrings, blue printed mini dress, braided sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag.

Other ways to wear: blue printed mini dress and gold clutch, braided sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Studded MAB crossbody bag and skirt.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart rose gold and pink beaded necklace
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: thrifted Les Tropeziennes Par M.Belarbi leopard print and gold leather sandals
Bracelets: the usual and pearl bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Mini 5 zip in pink iris with gold hardware 

Why I wore it:

Another very warm weekend day had me pulling out another blue printed dress. This one was a $2 clearance sale find a couple of years ago and I love wearing it every spring and summer! It was too hot to consider wearing anything other than this light sundress and simple sandals. We had an appointment in the afternoon, but the rest of the day was spent just enjoying the warm weather.

I really liked the pink Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag with this outfit, even though it's a different shade from the blush pink in the print of the dress and the blush pink beads on my necklace.

Last worn: tiered sundress, blush and gold necklace, pink mini 5-zip bag, leopard print sandals.

Other ways to wear: tiered sundress under a tee, pink mini 5-zip bag and jeans, leopard print sandals and bright dress.

Bright Tees and Boucle Jackets With Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag

Wearing some neutral outfits to the office lately, with lots of grey. Adding more interest to the outfits with brightly coloured tees and textured jackets.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Dixie collarless jacket
Earrings: Mimco silver stud earrings 
Necklace: thrifted Mix Apparel clover designer inspired necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Jeans: Nobody Denim Cult high rise skinny ankle jeans in charred grey
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This marigold tee can sometimes look really orange in person so I paired it with these charcoal grey Nobody Denim jeans, rather than any of my trusty black skinny jeans. I did add the black boucle jacket on top, but I think that worked well with the white thread through it so it didn't look too orange and black and Halloween themed!

I picked the grey Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag to wear with this as I wanted to match the neutrals in the majority of the outfit, but a brighter bag would have worked well with this I think. I also wasn't sure about the necklace - I often struggle to find the right necklace to wear with the rounded necklace of this jacket. But I got a lovely compliment from my colleague on this outfit that made me smile. Particularly because the only reason I'd worn such a bright tee that morning was due to a lack of sleep the night before, trying to fake looking awake!


Last worn: Mimco studs, boucle blazer, marigold tee, clover necklace, Nobody Denim jeans, black Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Skirt: Target textured silver pencil skirt
Shoes: thrifted white leather Chuck Taylor All Star Converse sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

There are a lot of textures in this outfit with the jacquard jacket, quilted pencil skirt and quilted Rebecca Minkoff Love crossbody bag. I liked the plain pastel yellow tee with all those neutral layers for just a little touch of colour. Just like the outfit above, I wasn't sure on a necklace. In the end I decided just to wear these silver statement earrings and skip wearing a necklace completely, which I really liked with this outfit.


Last worn: silver earrings, jacquard jacket, yellow tee, grey pencil skirt, white leather Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag (above).

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and dress, yellow tee, grey pencil skirt with green, white leather Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff grey Love bag worn 30 ways.
