Maxi Skirts, Scarves and Rebecca Minkoff Bags

While it's much more difficult getting a baby and a toddler ready to go somewhere, I still try get out as often as I can. I find that toddler T is much happier to play with his toys or read books quietly with me as I feed his brother if we've gotten out at some point during the day. The best bit about living where we do in Brisbane is that we are close to so many libraries. I can take the boys to the rhyme time sessions almost any day of the week and they can sing and dance along. Maxi skirts make easy outfits for those kinds of days.

What I wore:

Scarf: Alexander McQueen Azure wool skull scarf

Top: Jeanswest 'Aubrey' pintuck yoke henley in deep teal
Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt (on sale!, same in shorter length)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white (on sale in red!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in pink!)

Why I wore it:

I really liked this scarf and henley top together last time I wore them, so was eager to wear the combination again. It seemed perfect for the cold and foggy morning. By the time we got to the library, the fog had gone and Brisbane was experiencing a little winter heatwave. I took the scarf off and wished I'd worn short sleeves too!

I really liked this outfit, just a little overdressed for the unexpected heat.


Last worn: teal henley, wool skull scarf, chambray maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: teal henley and a baby bump, skull scarf and stripes, chambray maxi skirt with purple, Converse and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff silver mini MAC and denim shorts.

What I wore:

Scarf: Marc by Marc Jacobs bright blue stole

Top: Dorothy Perkins 3/4 sleeve wrap top
Skirt: Target grey marle maxi skirt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats (on sale!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

Another maxi skirt, another Rebecca Minkoff bag. I do tend to cycle through a few favourites in my wardrobe! While I am trying to wear more of what I own, I have combinations I keep coming back to. When trying to get two little ones ready each morning I often don't get a chance to think very long about what I want to wear and so reach for the familiar.

Maxi skirts go with everything and this top, although not a nursing top, is so easy to breastfeed in so this was the perfect outfit for a morning at the library rhymes session and catching up with a friend. Just like the outfit above, the scarf didn't stay on too long during the day.


Last worn: cobalt scarf, wrap top, jersey maxi skirt, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: cobalt scarf and stripes, wrap top and chambray, jersey maxi skirt and a graphic tee, silver ballet flats and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag and a printed tank.
