Although it's autumn in Brisbane, there have been some warm days that have allowed me to continue to wear my favourite warm weather outfit combo of a tank, denim shorts and kimono. With clothing pieces and a colour scheme I love, I really liked wearing both of these outfits.
What I wore:
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Wilma teething necklace in pale daffodil
Tank: Kmart navy ribbed tank
Shorts: Jeanswest denim cuff shorts
Shoes: slim gold Havaianas
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Why I wore it:
This was a quiet Saturday as I had a friend come over in the morning. It's hard for us to meet up as often as I'd like as kids don't make scheduling anything easy, but it was wonderful she was able to come over and we could catch up a little.Picked a simple outfit, denim shorts and a tank. The colourful yellow accessories and printed kimono make it feel a little more dressed up and presentable for having someone visit. Wanted something easy to wear as it had been a stressful few days with Tropical Cyclone Debbie and ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie getting a little too close to friends and family on both ends of the state. We were thankfully fine, and with the constant TV coverage my family up north and own south were on the news! While it was over a month ago now (I'm really behind with blogging!) you can help charities make a difference any day of the year as recovery continues.
Last worn: Somedays Lovin' kimono, navy ribbed tank, denim shorts, gold Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.
Other ways to wear: Somedays Lovin' kimono and purple jeans, navy ribbed tank and spring layers, denim shorts and printed tank, yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag with grey tee.

What I wore:
Sunnies: Ray-Ban new Wayfarers
Jacket: New Look Petite print kimono
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace (won in a giveaway)Tank: thrifted Cotton On yellow tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (on sale!)
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush (on sale, 44% off!)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
This outfit was inspired by an instagrammer I was following the #SYWardrobeChallenge with. She'd worn a similar outfit with a mustard yellow top and blue leopard print kimono. I knew I had the pieces to create a similar outfit, and loved wearing this! I've worn this yellow tank with blue printed shorts before, so this was a similar outfit.We went out shopping to get Toddler T some winter clothes as it is starting to get cooler. As the boys were in the shopping trolley I felt brave enough to wear my beaded necklace, although again I took it off as soon as we got home as it's not baby friendly like my silicone teething necklaces.
Last worn: Ray-Ban Wayfarers, blue printed kimono, yellow tank, Bermuda denim shorts, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag.
Other ways to wear: blue kimono and chambray dress, yellow tank and paisley print, Bermuda denim shorts and wrap top, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag in spring.

How You Can Wear It:
Yellow is a fun surprisingly wearable colour! Two easy ways to wear it are to wear a little or a lot of it! If you're unsure about it or find it too bold, try what I did in the first outfit and just add some yellow accessories to one of your favourite outfit formulas.

You have the prettiest collection of kimonos! I definitely need to wear more yellow and blue. The color combination is so pretty!

Wow, must be a lot warmer it Brisbane than it is in Adelaide! Wish it was warm enough to wear outfits like this. :)
ReplyDeletewww.jeannieinabottleblog.com
I like blue and yellow together as well! It's not a combo I wear much personally as I don't have much yellow. I am thinking I need to get a mustard colored item as I like that shade. You look great in both combos!

Both of these outfits are gorgeous! Yellow and blue can be such a nice combination. The prints of both the kimonos are so gorgeous too! Xx
ReplyDeletewww.thefashionfolks.com
You know I adore those kimonos! Great color combo as well :)
ReplyDeleteI too love yellow and Blue and wow, you put it together so nicely! Really pretty gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteYellow is a color I never ever wear. I like it, but I never find a way to make it look flattering on my clothes. I have been incorporating it into my makeup though, so maybe it will grow on me.

Maybe yellow accessories are the way to go!
DeleteLove how you paired your outfits. Love the yellow.

This yellow top looks so pretty on you. Love yello and blue combo.

The yellow is certainly standing out beautifully in both looks Mica.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry I am SO behind too !
Blue and yellow is my favorite color combination - especially for this Spring! You always have the best easy-breezy casual outfits! :]

Navy/Blue & Yellow are always a lovely mix. I love those two colors together. They're so refreshing. You look so cute Mica!

I love kimonos! Thanks for the tips.
ReplyDeleteI really love the mustard yellow bag!
ReplyDeleteLauren x Huggled
I never ever though yellow and blue would go together but you definitely changed my mind. I recently bought my first yellow top and I can't wait to style it!
ReplyDeleteps: Absolutely love your hair curled, you are gorgeous, Mica!
Oh I think yellow and orange are the two colors I don't wear for some reason. Maybe I don't look very well on them lol but I can tell you you look amazing in these outfits. I particularly loved the color combination of the second one.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week dear!

FABULOUS in yellow and blue! That rich yellow t-shirt is an amazing colour on you, Mica! Doesn't wearing yellow just make you feel good?
ReplyDeleteIt does! Such a cheerful colour to wear! :)
DeleteNavy and yellow are a favorite paring of mine, second only to navy and grey.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are still having some nice warm weather! we are still having a pretty chilly spring.
Chic on the Cheap
Yellow and blue is such a great color combo!
ReplyDeleteNot many people can pull off yellow, but you've found not one, but TWO ways to make it work! I honestly can't choose which one I like the most. I'm leaning more towards the 2nd look with the bermuda length denim shorts :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thebeautybeau.com
So glad to hear your friends and family are ok! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI own absolutely zero yellow things and I've convinced myself I have the wrong colouring for it. However you look lovely in these so maybe I'll have a go with a yellow accessory (I'm admiring that bag of yours still, maybe that's the way to go!)
Yes, yellow accessories are a good way to give it a try! :)
DeleteYellow is definitely taking over this season! I haven't played with it yet but I'm definitely going to try to style it!

Absolutely love that first kimono. Wonderful pattern :) I don't dislike yellow, but I'm also not really gravitating to it, clothing wise. Some accessories and shoes yes.
ReplyDeleteAlex - Funky Jungle
Yellow is such a bright, happy colour! It's one of my favourites, it really completes an outfit, and these are some great suggestions.

I don't have much yellow, but I love it because it is such a sunny and happy color. So seeing how others wear it is always such great inspiration. I love how you have paired it with navy. They really compliment each other well! I really like the turquoise in your necklace in the second outfit with yellow as well!
ReplyDeleteYellow really suits you Mica! Unfortunately it doesn't agree with me but it's such a lovely summery colour on you. I love the top especially xx
ReplyDeleteEileen | 5feetofstyle.com
I love yellow so much! Reminds me of nice weather, holidays and happiness! You certainly carried it very well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are ok despite the weather conditions!
ReplyDeleteYellow is a color that doesn't typically exist in my wardrobe unfortunately. I find that when I wear it, it enhances the redness in my skin. I think with your skin and blonde hair, it's totally an all year color for you!
Ooh I love the yellow, especially that second look--the bright tank peeking out under the kimono is so fun! Violet is at the grabby stage right now so I can only wear my non-teething necklaces to work (and I have to remember to take them off when I pick her up!).
ReplyDeletehehe yes, I'm enjoying being able to wear my proper necklaces now I'm back at work! :)
DeletePretty kimonos I dont own any, but like them on other people! The mix of yellow and blue looks great on you, im ready to break out my jean shorts too :-)

Both looks are chic yet look so comfy. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, so I am taking away some style inspiration with me.
