Spring Style: Stripe Tees and Denim Shorts with Silver Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bag

For a brief moment, Brisbane suddenly skipped spring and went straight to summer-like temperatures. It gave me the chance to enjoy some of my denim shorts again! It's always nice getting back into shorts when the weather warms up. I ended up wearing two very similar outfits with my striped tees and silver mini MAC bag. Stripes and shorts is such a classic warm weather outfit for me.

What I wore:

Necklace: Nibbly Bits Feather pendant in peach (C/O)
Tee: Atmos&Here 3/4 sleeve stripe tee in berry white
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts (on sale!)
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Nails: OPI This Cost Me a Mint

Why I wore it:

I was so happy to realise it was shorts weather! Still feeling a little bad about not having worn many winter clothes over winter, I squeezed in another wear of this long sleeve tee. When I was putting this outfit together I remembered I wore something similar with pregnant with now Toddler T, using my maternity denim shorts. So of course I had to recreate it with the same bag again, my Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC bag. Picked my Converse to wear this time instead of my Havaianas, because I didn't have a big baby belly preventing me from bending over to tie my laces haha!

Was quite a busy morning, so an easy outfit was ideal. Took Baby Boy for his regular weigh in session and then ran a couple of errands. As it was the school holidays, our local shopping centre had some activities on and the boys got to do a cupcake decorating session after we got groceries. Unfortunately, on the very short trip home the cupcakes melted in the heat and their beautiful creations weren't quite so beautiful when they got home. They seemed to think they were still pretty tasty though!

Other ways to wear: burgundy stripe tee and chambray maxi skirt, bermuda denim shorts worn two ways, Converse and printed dress, Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC and maxi dress in winter.

Perfect for pregnancy: stripe tee and maternity shorts, Converse and maternity denim, mini MAC and maxi skirt.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Peri drape sleeveless jacket (on sale!)
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Feather pendant in peach (C/O)
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Shorts:  OneTeaspoon Hawks shorts in Fox black (C/O, on sale!)
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Nails: OPI This Cost Me a Mint

Why I wore it:

Warmer weather means layering just for fun and not for function too, so it was the perfect time to get this vest out again. An impulse buy last year before I started my #6monthswithoutshopping challenge, something different to add to my wardrobe. I see lots of bloggers wearing vests for cooler weather, but if I'm cold I want my arms to be warm, so this is strictly a warm weather piece for me.

I wasn't entirely loving the vest in this outfit, but it seemed like a good way to add a little colour with the neutral pieces. I'm still figuring out the best way to wear this, even though this is it's 9th wear! It's fun to experiment and try different styles though, and good to try make jeans and a tee a little different given how often I wear that combo over summer.

Was just a quiet Saturday - we weren't up to much. We did attempt to go a walk with the toddlers and let them take their bikes. Which resulted in me carrying Baby Boy's trike 90% of the time, ha!

How You Can Wear It:

If you're looking for a classic fail-safe outfit for warm weather, denim shorts and a striped tee is a great go-to. You can make things a little different with each wear by picking longer sleeved tees, shorts of different lengths or even an extra layer like a vest to add some colour. Stripes and shorts doesn't have to be boring.
