I picked up my first pair of OneTeaspoon shorts in a collaboration with Glue Store. They are a high-waist style that I wouldn't normally go for, but they are surprisingly comfortable on my mum-tum and I'm glad I gave the different style a try. In a classic black, they will be sure to be worn more over summer. I've shared two different ways to wear them below.
What I wore:
Cami: Jeanswest 'Mia' cami in black
Shorts: OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in metallic pink!)
Why I wore it:
Although it was spring when I wore this a couple weeks ago, this day was the hottest day of the season in Brisbane with summer-like temperatures. I wanted to wear as little as possible. Short shorts and a flowy cami was just what was needed when we did venture out of the air conditioning to grab groceries before the afternoon storm hit. The rain in the background was just a small shower before the big storm and the hail rolled in.It's funny looking back and seeing that the last time I wore this cami I was using it to hide my early second trimester baby bump!
Last worn: polka dot cami, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts, Havaianas, silver mini MAC bag.
Other ways to wear: polka dot cami and maxi skirt, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts and tee, silver mini MAC bag with blue and green.
What I wore:
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
Tee: Zalora Basics maroon stepped t-shirt
Shorts: OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (on sale in metallic pink!)
Why I wore it:
This was another style challenge inspired outfit. The style challenge for #RuleBreakersClub was the 'forbidden pair' of double denim. As much as I love denim, double denim isn't a look I wear often. When I do attempt it, I like the denim shades to be as different as possible, so black shorts and a blue jacket work nicely.Picked the red tee as it felt like a while since I last wore it. This was what I wore for another Christmas shopping trip. I feel like that's going to be the main activity I do in the run up to Christmas. I usually like to be more organised than I am at this stage!
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, denim jacket, red tee, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts (above), Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC (above).
Other ways to wear: denim jacket and skinny jeans, red tee and coatigan, OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in a monochrome outfit, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and graphic tee.

Hi Mica! I'm so sorry to hear that your baby boy is in hospital. I do hope he's on the road to recovery and will be fine.
ReplyDeleteAs for the outfits, you look amazing as always! I love the way you created two very different looks using the same pair of shorts! You look stunning, and I love casual yet chic style of these looks.

I think the double denim rule is one of those that's just meant to be broken because denim on denim can seriously look really cool when it's done right and not OTT. You did a great job with the challenge Mica!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it can look awesome when done well! I think black and blue is the only way I'll be brave enough to attempt it hehe! :)
DeleteI hope everything with the baby goes well! Never a fun thing to deal with, but good that it's just a precaution!
ReplyDeleteI hope your little boy is home for Christmas. I love your bracelets :) x

Sometimes I forget about the whole "forbidden" part of denim on denim until I'm out with friends and they give me a weird look and a, "GIRL."
ReplyDeleteHope everything is okay with your son!

Yep I could never do double blue denim, the thought of it makes me cringe! Hahaha. You've worked it nicely!
ReplyDeleteSome people make it look awesome - I am not one of those people, black and blue is the only way I feel brave enough to attempt haha!
DeleteThanks again for your sweet emails - I really appreciated them while in hospital.
you look fantastic in shorts!
ReplyDeleteI have been on the hunt for true high waisted, tummy controller jeans and shorts and coming up short. I'll have to check out this site and see if it's something that ships internationally. I know all about the "mum-tum."
ReplyDeletePraying for baby boy and I do hope everything is ok! <3
I don't think glue store ship outside Australia, but hopefully you can find a OneTeaspoon stockist closer to you! :)
DeleteAw, hope everything is ok with your baby boy. You looked great in both outfits, love the pretty print cami!
