Top: Sass and Bide 'Musical Genius' tank
Skirt: AT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow Aztec bangles in fuschia pink and silver, white and silver
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
My sister came over for lunch on Saturday as she just got back from her holiday and wanted to catch up. I got to see all the photos and hear all the stories, and I'm very jealous! She had an incredible time. She brought me back a beautiful sarong from her trip too.
We had to go out in the morning and actually buy some groceries so we had enough food in the house to make a decent lunch, so I dressed as simply as possible to try and beat the heat. A little bit of print mixing with the striped skirt and geometric tank too.
Last worn: Sass and Bide tank, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC.
Here's what I wore to go shopping and have lunch with my parents today:
Necklace: gifted gold heart shaped necklace
Dress: Pearl black and white jersey maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus pink and gold bracelet stack
Bag: Miu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag
Just wore a simple maxi dress as it was so hot today. I've mentioned before that we are turning the spare room (currently being used as my wardrobe room) into baby's nursery. I'm trying to reduce what I own, as well as finding better ways to store what I'm keeping. My wall of handbags is going to be retired and everything moved from display into storage boxes.
Went to Ikea today to get a few more boxes and some other organisational things. As my parents live nearby, we decided to have lunch with them there too. Lunch was delicious, but we ended up spending almost 4 hours shopping there, oops! Got everything I needed though to help with the next stage of the wardrobe organisation/clear out project, and a few little extras.
Last worn: Ray Ban Wayfarers, printed maxi dress, Wittner studded sandals, Miu Miu studded bag.

I love a good maxi skirt or maxi dress when it's warm outside! It's casual, but still can feel dressy and put together! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful in that maxi dress. Wow, I missed your "wall of handbags" - that's pretty impressive.
ReplyDeletehaha, yes I have a bit of a bag collection!
DeleteYou are the queen of bags! That second one is lovely and the dress is wonderful for making you look delightfully pregnant =)

I love the print on the top on the first picture it went very well with the stripes. And you always have the most pretty bags. Hahah I love going to Ikea and my husband hates it because we always end up spending most of our day there lol :) Will head on over to cast a vote, Goodluck to your Family!

Thank you for voting Dee! :) Yes it's amazing how much time you can end up spending in Ikea!
DeleteAh it's ok about storing the handbags into boxes! They are still with you and as long as you organises them well, they can still be displayed somewhat and look at :)
ReplyDeletehehe, thank you! They are sadly going to be packed away in boxes under the bed though - only place there's space!
DeleteCute look Mica! Love your bag, pretty studs!!

LOVE that printed dress, it looks amazing on you! And that Sadd & Bide top - perfection! I love that print too
ReplyDeletehttp://www.closet-fashionista.com/
I love both the looks--- they are just so amazingly summer! Love the mixed patters in the first and the overall look of the first!
ReplyDeleteyour geo tank look so perfect with the striped skirt! i could probably spend four hours shopping in ikea too. hope you don't have to clear out too much of your wardrobe -- having a baby is hard work! (but will definitely be worth it) :)
ReplyDeletexo,

Oh yes, definitely worth it! :) And a good reason for me to downsize - I own too much anyway, with my shopaholic ways, haha.
DeleteI just love your skirt in the first outfit! The pattern mixing is so cute! Good luck with all your organizing! That can be tough, but it's so satisfying when the baby's room begins to take shape!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm just doing it bit by bit as the nesting mode kicks in :)
Deleteoooh I really love that bag, very cute!
ReplyDeleteVery cute ensemble Mica! You have the best purse collection evah!!! I struggle with purses, 'specially large ones. I guess you could say I am "a picky purse person". hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI really love how you look in maxi dresses!!! Both outfits are super cute and great for hot summer weather. Just voted in the Ted competition, hope they win!!

Thanks so much for voting Marie! :)
DeleteI really like that pattern of that tank top of yours!
ReplyDeleteThese maxi skirts and dresses you've been wearing look fantastic on you!
ReplyDeleteI love that you can get lost shopping in Ikea AND have lunch there. Easily an all day affair - kind of jealous! Thanks for linking up! I'm really enjoying seeing which bag you'll wear everyday!

This skirt is amazing! Love it so much :)
ReplyDeleteMica, I voted for your family's picture. So cool. Hope they win doll. I love both outfits! Especially that maxi dress. You are doing it girl. I love the way you're organizing everything. You're in nesting mode! Sounds great :D
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
Thank you so much for voting Kim! :) And yep, nesting mode definitely kicks in now and then. I take advantage of it when it does, but I'm taking it easy when I don't have the urge to start moving things around!
DeleteThat printed dress looks so pretty.. and your bags! You always have the cutest bags!
ReplyDeletelol, yes ikea. I love the store and I pretty much spend all day there lol!!

ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
You look gorgeous in the maxi dress Mica...And we need to see a family shot of your bags..I am sure its pure lustworthy! Amazing Miu Miu bag!
ReplyDeleteI have a video of all of my handbag collection on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_mqsKFWV1E but I haven't ever taken a big group photo - I probably should before they all get packed away!
Deletelove the easy outfits you've been wearing lately. that stripe skirt! how is it under $8? i'm so gutted it's sold out, i want one! oh my your wall of bags is quite something mica ;) what do you plan to do with it? good luck with the photo comp too!
ReplyDeletesteph / absolutely-fuzzy.com
Thanks Steph! :)
DeleteMy wall of bags will be retired to a box of bags under the bed, haha. Need to clear everything out from baby's room, I hear babies can be messy and a baby and handbags on display might not work..... :P
Thank you! I'm a shortie, but I wear them anyway as they are too comfortable not to take advantage! :)
ReplyDeleteShe went on a cruise! I'm so jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your votes in the facebook competition - and kind comments! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of prints in the first outfit and that bag is perfection! Thanks for linking up :)
ReplyDeleteThat pearl black maxi dress was meant for you Mica ! It fits you beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAND I am actually looking forward to how you store your goodies and how the nursery of Cooper's new friend will turn out.
Thanks Lorena :) My new storage solution is nowhere near as spacious and pretty as the old - I have a video up on youtube of my old wardrobe/bag/shoe room - but now most things are packed away in boxes.
DeleteWill definitely share more video and maybe some photos of baby's nursery when it's done :)
