Last time I wore a button up shirt and denim shorts outfit formula it was much too hot. Not an ideal choice for summer! Now some autumn weather has arrived and it was a little cooler, it was the perfect choice of outfit.
What I wore:
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Ava elephant pendant teething necklace
Shirt: Target mint stripe shirtShorts: OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O, on sale!)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Nails: OPI Russian Navy
Why I wore it:
It's been a while since I'd worn this shirt so got it out. I'd planned to wear it in the postpartum days for easy breastfeeding but the weather and my larger than usual chest at the time didn't allow it! Even though I've worn it with a baby bump in the past... it fits perfectly again now. Nice and simple outfit for a morning spent with my mum and taking the boys to rhyme time at the library.The bag is one I haven't worn for a while either! It's easily the favourite Rebecca Minkoff bag in my collection. I do have a lot of the cute mini MAC bags but this one works for every situation - you can wear it cross body, it can fit a ton in and I've worn it to work as well as just for days like this where I'm running around with the boys.
Previously when I gushed about this bag I was sharing some of the places you could get it second hand online as it was discontinued. I'm really pleased it's being made again and I know if I wasn't doing #6MonthsWithoutShopping I'd probably have bought it in another colour too! (I like this blush pink one)
Last worn: pinstripe shirt, OneTeaspoon denim shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag.
Other ways to wear: pinstripe shirt in the office, OneTeaspoon denim shorts in Spring, grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag adn colourful cardis.

What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Wilma teething necklace in pale daffodilShirt: Jeanswest Tory textured shirt (on sale!)
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (on sale!)
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Nails: OPI Russian Navy
Why I wore it:
Very similar to the last time I wore this shirt, just with different accessories. I really like the yellow against the navy. I've been loving this mustard Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag as it goes so nicely with blue, and I have a lot of blue in my wardrobe. Wore this to go to my local ABA mother's group.First time I wore this shirt I wasn't a fan of how it sat tucked in, so I wore it untucked again. I need to try it tucked in again with something other than shorts. I'm thinking it will be great with a pencil skirt when I return to work soon.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarer, navy textured button up shirt, bermuda denim shorts, Balenciaga sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.
Other ways to wear: navy textured button up shirt and printed shorts, bermuda denim shorts and kimono, Balenciaga sandals and a maxi dress, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and spring layers.

How You Can Wear It:
Button up (or button down!) shirts don't have to be reserved for corporate life. They pair nicely with denim, and are great with denim shorts for mild spring or autumn days. If you're breastfeeding they are a practical and economical option as you probably already have one in your wardrobe.

I am not sure why, but I don't often wear button ups in warmer weather, but seeing you, they look fabulous with shorts and bright necklaces! I can see why that Rebecca Minkoff bag is was such a great purchase. It's just the right size and I love the ability of wearing it crossbody!
ReplyDeleteCasual perfection! Locing both these looks - shorts and long sleeves is my fave!

I really like how you dress up your casual outfits. What a great idea to dress up denim shorts!

Great casual looks, Mica! You really rock this laid-back vibe. I like both of your bags - I always think of you when I'm looking at bags in the thrift shops here. Hmmm, what would Mica think of this?
ReplyDeletehaha I'm flattered you think of me! You have some beautiful bags! :)
DeleteI really thought button up shirts were perfect for hot days but they really aren’t the best choice haha They can get annoying in the heat really quickly. I do love both outfits though. You wear this type of shirt really well!
ReplyDeleteI love the simple, minimalist look of these & it’s great (haha) that they’re so comfortable! A bit of extra height isn’t something I’m gonna complain about either haha

Yes, they are nice looking but let's be honest a heatwave is a silly time to wear them, don't know what I was thinking! Need less clothing then, not more!
DeleteThose shorts look so good on you and that necklace is adorable. I am obsessed with elephants, thank you for sharing beautiful x

I like the second look and how you dressed it up with the colorful necklace.
ReplyDeleteyes, like you said, I have been traveling for work and am yet to catch up with the blog:)
Its great to hear you're going back to work as now we'll have more work looks.
I always love the look of a shorter piece with a longer one, but the right weather is key! Like blazers and shorts, I feel like I'm lucky if I can get away with that combo a handful of times a year.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/
Yes! You're actually making me want to try that outfit combo now too haha!
DeleteI love the style and cut of both shirts Mica. They look so good on you! Very crisp and cool.

Great outfits, Mica. The second look is my favourite with the brigh necklace! Cheers for the Shopbop promo, I've not shopped that site in a long while. Happy weekend. /Madison
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with either of these looks but I love the yellow + navy combination! So classic and pretty! Have a great rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look. Russian Navy by OPI is one of my all time favorite nail polishes. I love that necklace too.

Cute outfits! Thank you for reminding me to wear my lone spring-approp button up (which is of course blue)! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could inspire you to get yours out for a wear! :)
DeleteUnfortunately, button ups are currently not an option for me, lol but I've always loved them as a go to work piece! I own way too many "fall" looking ones with the colors and patterns. (; I love love love yellow and navy together!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are great for work, and outside the office too! :)
DeleteThank you all for your kind comments :)
