What I wore:
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Scarf: Alexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarfTee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine (similar in black)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in navy!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale with zipped sides!)
Why I wore it:
Because I really liked the maxi skirt and skull scarf combo above, I tried it again. And again I really liked it. Perfect for the daycare drop off / pick up and a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. I've worn the tee and skirt and the tee and scarf together before.Wasn't sure if the burgundy tee and purple bag would go together though. I actually googled for 'burgundy purple outfits' during baby boy's late night feed (when I usually plan what I'll wear for the day!) to try and figure out if my outfit idea would work! I'm glad I gave it a go though. It was good to try a little something different and I think the purple looks nice with the burgundy.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), taupe skull scarf, wine oversized tee, grey marle maxi skirt, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote (above).
Other ways to wear: taupe skull scarf and printed pants, burgundy tee and gold jeans, grey marle maxi skirt and a graphic tee, gold mouse flats and a wrap dress, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and denim shorts.

You look so colourful!! I LOVE the mac bags, granted they can't hold EVERYTHING but they're so cute! I like how you added the black pom pom!
ReplyDeleteMacarons and Mischief
They are great when you don't need to carry too much! :)
DeleteThe skull scarves are so cool, I love the white / pink combo! (I have a knockoff Kmart version I quite like, but it's no McQueen). The purple and burgundy go well together and that bag is just such a great shade!
ReplyDeleteIt's great there are some other skull print options around though, I find them fun to wear :)
DeleteGreat looks! Love both these maxi skirts and the plum bag is gorgeous :)

You definitely know how to rock your scarves Mica - that and maxi length skirts and dresses :D Haha, killing it with that combo!

I think the purple and burgundy work great together. I actually tried wearing a necklace a few days ago and it got immediately pulled at quite hard, so I fear less for my boy, but more for my necklace!

Yes when the toddler was a baby he snapped one of my bracelets - it's tricky, they can be quite strong sometimes!
DeleteScarves are so nice for that change in temperature! LOVE that purple bag!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a McQueen scarf but never got around to it, haha. They were always to expensive and I don't wear scarves often so it would have been a bad buy XD
ReplyDeletehttp://www.closet-fashionista.com/
I snap them up on sale, I'm always wearing scarves in winter so figure it's a worthy investment :) Probably have too many though....haha
DeleteLove the dress, you look amazing! Love the bag too.

Scarves are always a great addition to any look...and I do like both of these...they look great in both outfits. Maxi skirts are also always a great choice. Love how you styled yours. You look so young, fresh and pretty!

I love all of the scarves! I have a drawer full but I never think to wear them - thanks for the inspo!
ReplyDeleteKristina does the Internets
Very nice - the scarves really add some personality to the outfits. When in doubt about colour, think about nature. If it works in nature, it will work on an outfit. So, burgundy and purple exist together (think of dark purple tulips, roses, Japanese plum and cherry trees), so they will work on you! Also, any colours in the same colour family (in this case, the red family) will always work together harmoniously. Lovely, Mica!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this advice Sheila! It's so helpful :)
DeleteI love that purple top, it looks so comfy (and is a great color too!)! And of course I love your MAB tote in plum! I never think to throw on a lightweight scarf (especially not now that it's 90 degrees!), but it looks so cute on you!
ReplyDeleteLove these wonderful outfits. The purse is amazing.

Being able to wear scarves is one of the things I love about Autumn, in summer there's no way that I can handle a scarf, it is just bloody hot :) Plum bag is so cute, I love how colourful your bags are :)
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
Yep I have a few lightweight scarves I might wear on a cooler day, but mostly it's just too hot in summer for scarves! I make up for it in winter though and wear them all the time, haha!
DeleteThat RM plum bag looks great with both outfits! It's an awesome bag Mica. I love the rich color. Can't wait to see your scarf collection again. You know how to wear them :D

I'm not sure the burgundy quite translates on camera, it looks more purple to me. I'm sure it looks lovely regardless :) I love that scarf.

ReplyDeletewww.britishmilan.co.uk
Both were great choices - I never thought of it but, indeed with a baby its better to have no jewelery and accessorise with scarves :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is! Cosier and comfier if they try to play with it too, haha!
DeleteLove the pink scarf! Scarf are definitely baby proof ;-)
