Maxi Skirts, Alexander McQueen Skull Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB Tote Bag

With the autumn temperatures slowly starting to arrive, it's been good to get my scarf collection out again. While baby is small I'm avoiding necklaces or extra bracelets he could get tangled in, but a scarf is so easy to remove when feeding and soft for baby to snuggle into.

What I wore:

AwayFromBlue | Skull scarf and striped tank casual maxi skirt outfit colourful accessories

AwayFromTheBlue | Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum
SunniesRay-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal skull scarf in white/pink
TankAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank (on sale!)
Skirt: Jeanswest plain jersey black maxi skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

Had some shopping to do in the morning and family came to visit in the afternoon. Wanted to add some colour to the black outfit with the colourful scarf and bag. Maxi skirt, stripes and colourful accessories - such a simple and practical outfit. I really liked wearing this.


Last worn: Ray-Ban wayfarer, pink and cream skull scarf, striped tank, black maxi skirt, Marc Jacobs ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.

What I wore:

AwayFromBlue | burgundy tee and purple bag grey marle maxi skirt autumn outfit

AwayFromTheBlue | Rebecca MInkoff plum purple mini MAB tote bag faux fur pom pom charm
ScarfAlexander McQueen modal and cashmere skull scarf
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine (similar in black)
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in navy!)
BagRebecca 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 weartaupe 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.

  2. The 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!

  5. 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!

    1. Yes when the toddler was a baby he snapped one of my bracelets - it's tricky, they can be quite strong sometimes!

  7. I 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

  13. 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!

  15. 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!

  16. I 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!

  30. 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 :)

    1. 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!

  37. 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.
