Striped Maxi Skirts, Tees and Rebecca Minkoff Hot Pink Mini MAC Bag

Wearing a different bag for a change! In October when I bought my Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag I wore it right away and have been wearing it for a while, so it was nice to switch things up a little and carry a different bag. Still a Rebecca Minkoff one though, it's quickly become my go-to bag brand!

These outfits were wonderful to wear and I really liked both - the hot pink bag works nicely with a blue outfit as well as a neutral black and grey one.

What I wore:

blue tee white navy stripe maxi skirt SAHM spring outfit | Away From Blue

stripe maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC | Away From The Blue
SunglassesRay-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus teething necklace in pop
Tee: Kmart blue marle tee
SkirtAT by Atmos&Here Mars striped maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

This striped maxi skirt was one of the outfits I had in mind when I was thinking how I could wear this blue tee. I really liked the way it looked together, it was nice and simple for a quiet day with a couple of errands. It's great when outfits you put together in your head turn out just as good as you imagined them!

This is the second wearing of this tee, so as I'm doing with everything I buy, my purchase review:
I really like this tee. I wanted to add more basics to my wardrobe and at $3 I couldn't say no to this. I've only worn it with maxi skirts so far, looking forward to wearing it with more things. Really pleased I got this, fits my 'wardrobe wishlist' as it's a great basic.


Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, blue tee, striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff pink mini MAC.

Why I wore it:

Since I liked the v-neck tee and striped maxi skirt outfit above, I wore it again with different pieces. This outfit was perfect for a morning attempting to go shopping with the boys. I shared a few pics on my instagram stories - I headed into Glue store to check out their denim range and try pick out a new pair or two. What you didn't see in the insta stories was how cranky both boys quickly got when I tried to take 10 minutes to try things on! Still haven't mastered the art of shopping in store for clothes with two little ones. Will probably wait a few more months before trying again...

At least my outfit was comfortable and didn't add to the stress levels of the morning, hehe!

  12. I have never been a fan of maxi skirts but after seeing how you wear them so well even though you're petite, I might just give them a try again.

  13. Kudos to you for trying to shop with two kiddos! I rarely try to shop for clothes with just my son--I just don't have the patience :) I love how the necklace and bag add pops of color in both of these looks.

  24. I hadn't heard of teething necklaces before--I assume they're worn in part for the good of the baby, but seriously yours is really cute!

    1. You can get some really stylish ones! They are good for baby to play with while breastfeeding and they are good to chew on for him when he's teething as well as being an impromptu toy for amusement. They are a great product! :)

  26. I'm giving you praise because you attempted to go shopping with two babies! Dang girl. I get too scared to shop with one. (; That's why almost all of my purchases are made on line.

    Loving the bright pop of pink for summer! Well, your summer. It's snowing here. lol

  27. That bag really gives your outfits a nice touch of color Mica. So pretty. It's easy to use the same bag over and over again. HaHaHa I know I'm guilty of doing the same thing. I love those striped maxi skirts.
