Denim Shorts, Prints and Cross Body Bags

Two different ways to wear a simple outfit formula of denim shorts and prints. Both outfits feature tops that haven't been worn for a while. It's not even because I'm breastfeeding as it's possible to breastfeed in them when you lift the hem. (Helps to have a layer underneath when you do this though).

What I wore:

Somedays Lovin Yakuza print kimono denim bermudaa shorts summer SAHM style | AwayFromBlue

Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | AwayFromTheBlue
JacketSomedays Lovin' Yakuza print kimono
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Ava elephant pendant teething necklace
TankJeanswest round neck lace detail top
ShortsJeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (currently on sale, 50% off shorts!)
ShoesRebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale!)
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold (on sale!)

Why I wore it:

A quiet day running a few errands gave me a chance to wear some of my favourite pieces. Perfect for the #DecemberWearWhatWear style challenge and the #DAREcember challenge on Instagram. I've worn all of these accessories together before as I really like the combination.

Although it's been a while (nearly 3 months) since I've last worn this top, it really should be worn more often!

Shorts:  OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O, on sale!)
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagLouis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere

Why I wore it:

What was supposed to be a quiet and relaxing day turned into a stressful one. Had to take Baby Boy back to hospital as he pulled out his tube. Again! Picked an easy outfit of shorts and this fun printed tee, it met a few style challenges but I mainly chose it as it's been sitting unworn in my wardrobe for over 6 months!


It's pieces like this that I love but really don't wear a lot that helped contribute to my decision to start a 6 months without shopping challenge. When I wear these tops, I really like them, but it's so long between wears. I'm going to spend 2017 focusing on just wearing and enjoying what I already own.

  8. I'm very sorry to hear that, well I hope your little boy is fine. Anyhow, I've been sticking with the "wearing and enjoying what I already own" mantra too. ♥ Sometimes, we just don't notice the nice stuff we got in our closet. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Love, Airish

  15. I was going to say that first top definitely needs to be worn more, then I saw that second top and fell in love! What a stunning print and such a beautifully unexpected colour too. Loooove!

  21. Every time I see you in that kimono, I rue the day I clicked through to the link and didn't buy for some reason . . . because it was sold out next time!

  22. I randomly started thinking of summer over the weekend. Thinking of all the things I want to add to my wardrobe and the things I like, but need more of. Kimonos! I just ordered two of them! (;

    I've been in a summer shopping mood and certainly your Australian summer helps that bit. lol

    I hope baby Boy is ok! Man, how scary!

  23. Mica, they are comfortable and stylish. Oh no! He pulled out his tube. Babies don't understand :( Poor baby. Hope everything is alright. Both of these outfits are casually chic :D

  24. Wow so many cute teething necklaces. They always make me nervous about a bead popping off when im not paying attention or bub trying to nibble a non teething necklace. Gotta ask about this mushroom mask you mentioned on my post. so curious now.

    1. haha I don't have the mask any more so I can't remember the name! :(

      These necklaces are great with some safety features so they don't lose beads, but yes it does mean you kinda stick to teething necklaces only as baby gets into the habit of playing with them!
