What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Tee: Sass and Bide 'New Day Rising' tee in orange leopard printJeans: Jeanswest 'spoylt' flared jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in navy!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in pink!)
Why I wore it:
A nice, easy outfit to go to playgroup with two under 2. I'd been looking at things in my wardrobe I hadn't worn for a while and decided to give this tee a wear. It's been a year and a half since it was last worn! It was hidden away right at the back of my wardrobe. It's fun to wear but I do tend to go the safe route with something so bright and just wear it with jeans.Decided to contrast the bright orange tee with the purple bag. I've worn it like this before. Purple and orange is a fun colour combination I picked up from Sheila, I get all my best colour combination ideas from her. She inspires me to try be more adventurous with colours!
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Sass & Bide neon tee, flared jeans, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB.
Other ways to wear: Sass & Bide neon tee and skinny jeans, flared jeans and Converse, mouse flats and a maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB and denim shorts.

What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers (30% off at Nordstrom!)
Scarf: Alexander McQueen pink pashmina in skull and floral printTop: Jeanswest 'Melanie' Stripe henley in black/coconut
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs black logo plaque ballet flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale in green!)
Why I wore it:
A little bit of neon with the pink skull scarf, a souvenir from a trip to Melbourne. I thought the pink scarf and purple mini MAB bag were nice colourful accessories against the neutrals.Another casual outfit - caught up with a friend to swap stories about what the past couple of months has held for us. Admittedly, her stories and adventures were a lot more interesting than mine! I enjoyed the adult conversation for a change. While it's wonderful catching up with other mums and talking kids and everything that involves, it's good to talk about other things now and then.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers (above), pink skull scarf, striped henley, skinny jeans, black ballet flats, purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB (above).
Other ways to wear: pink skull scarf and a chambray dress, striped henley in the office, skinny jeans and Converse, ballet flats and a pleated skirt, purple Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB and flares.

Oh yes. It is amazing to have adult talk every once in a while!
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Definitely!
DeleteMan, I totally understand what that need is like. I'm not a mom, but I watched three kids for four days and man I needed some freaking adult conversation!
ReplyDeleteThe Adored Life
Wow well done on handling 3! I'm finding 2 a handful some days, haha
DeleteYour bag is such a stunning colour! And haha, I can imagine chatting with an adult must have been a nice change :)

Aw, you are a dear - thank you for the shout-out, Mica! I love these brights together, especially that gorgeous bag!
ReplyDeleteNo worries Sheila!
DeleteLove that leopard printed top!!
ReplyDeleteI always find it funny that as I'm removing clothes, you guys are adding them, hehe

yep it's always strange being in opposite seasons!
DeleteLOVE the little pompom!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who always says that she tries to find time for herself to talk about other topics than just her kids. Sometimes watching "lion king" for the 200th time just becomes too much, she says... glad you were able to find time for yourself too.
ReplyDeletehaha yes! Your friend is right, sometimes you need a break from kid talk!
DeleteI always love that pink scarf :)

That orange top is adorable! And I really like how the purple bag looks with it! Love the pattern mixing in your second outfit!
ReplyDeleteWell Sheila is onto something, because I too would have never thought to combine those two colors. It's great to think outside the box sometimes. I mean whatever is "trendy," someone had to throw that combination together initially. Looking great Mica!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kiki :) I find I get a lot of inspiration from bloggers to try things I'd never thought of before, it's fun.
DeleteI love finding pieces that haven't been worn in a while, it's almost like getting something new. I love both of these tops, that orange color is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteyes, it opens up more wardrobe possibilities, hehe
DeletePurple + orange is one of my favorite color combos so I'm loving that outfit! And you look so chic in the second! XO

ReplyDeleteMacarons and Mischief
I wear mine so much! They're polarised so it comes in handy for driving :)
DeleteNow time for winter season outfits, it supposed to get warm here however it doesn't seem to get any better than 18 degrees which is not the perfect summer weather! Skull scarf looks so cool!

ReplyDeleteRaindrops of Sapphire

Love the colour of the tote - but it's a bit too small for me :)
ReplyDeleteI love that top, looks very lovely, and love that scarf too :) x

I love wearing bright colours - love orange/purple combo - fuchsia pink & purple are a fun combination too. I like wearing black & white with a pop of bright colour eg red.
