What I wore:
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats (on sale in black!)
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum
Why I wore it:
I like blue and purple together, so of course I've worn this purple mini MAB tote bag and blue dress together before. Although I don't have the baby bump this time!I bought this dress 4 years ago and loved it so much, I wore it frequently and I was sure I'd be closer to 30 wears with it - this is only it's 14th wear! Having the blog to keep track of how many times I wear things has been eye opening.
No matter how many times it's been worn, I love this each time I wear it, and the blue dress and denim jacket work perfectly together. The purple bag is such a great accessory with it too. Wore this to run a few errands with the boys in the morning, with a trip to the library too.
The nice thing about this dress is that the ties at the neckline mean no necklace is required - really easy to wear!
Last worn: denim jacket, blue printed dress, gold mouse flats, Rebecca Minkoff plum MAB tote.
Other ways to wear: denim jacket and pink shorts, blue printed dress layered for cooler weather, gold mouse flats in the office, Rebecca Minkoff plum MAB and maxi skirt.
Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester, blue printed dress in second trimester, gold mouse flats and maternity pencil skirts, Rebecca Minkoff plum MAB in third trimester.
My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:
What I wore:
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Feather pendant in peach (C/O)
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch C/O JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Why I wore it:
Another repeat here as it's not the first time I've worn this denim jacket and sundress together! Again, I liked the combo.After a wet weekend, it was predicted to storm again. We had playgroup in the morning and a specialist appointment in the afternoon. Expecting it to rain, I added the denim jacket. Unlike the day above though, we weren't often in the aircon and I ended up taking the denim jacket off as soon as it heated up. Was such a humid day in the end. I was glad I'd worn such a floaty, light dress when I was sitting outside in the playground with the boys and left the denim jacket in the car.
Not the first time I've worn the mustard bag with the little black dress either, I love the way the mustard pops with the black.
Last worn: denim jacket (above), tiered little black dress, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.
Other ways to wear: denim jacket in double denim outfit, tiered little black dress and kimono, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag and maxi dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: denim jacket in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:
Denim jackets are a great layer to add to a light sundress if the weather is a little cooler. If it heats up, it can easily be removed. You can even tie it around your waist if you don't want to leave it in the car like I did with the second outfit.

I can't believe you bought that first dress 4 years ago, it looks brand new. Love that first outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe second outfit is also very cute. I love how you paired that dress with a denim jacket. You look fantastic in both of these looks. I'm a big fan of dresses and you wore these two so well.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Yes, it's held up so well! I'm always happy with the quality at Jeanswest, that's why I buy so much there, haha!
DeleteBlue and purple go so well together!!! I love denim jackets too, they go with everything!!! Happy Friday Mica! x

Thanks! I love blue and purple together!
DeleteI love both of these dresses Mica and they look great with your denim jacket. I'm so looking forward to the next few months of cooler weather so I can wear my cardis, jumpers and jackets too! I love the plum coloured bag as well. Hope you have a great weekend Mica :) XXX
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm hoping for the cool change to arrive soon! Today was weird, with the clouds and rain but crazy humidity still!
DeleteNice to see you in layers now, it gets cold here too but on the weekend it's always warm and sunny. Denim jacket is a versatile piece and a must have so funny I don't have one right now. I gave my old one away without realising this trend to come back, so your post has made me think of shopping for a new one :) You've got quite a number of Rebecca Minkoff bags, my favourite are the ones you're using in the photos. Wishing you have a fun weekend!

Hope you can find a new denim jacket! I need to replace this one but haven't found the perfect replacement yet! I'm looking forward to layering more when autumn weather arrives :)
DeleteAwesome photography, dear!
ReplyDeleteI love how both dresses are flowy. They're the kind of dress that you can just throw on and already look put together! I couldn't agree more that a denim jacket is a great layering piece.
ReplyDeletewww.rdsobsessions.com
Yes I love dresses as you can just throw on and go! :)
DeleteGreat styling on both looks, I like the dresses!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend :)

Oh wow that's a lot of handbags from one brand... I am not that faithful ;)
ReplyDeleteAND YOU EVEN paid full price for that first one, OMG!
haha I'm always swayed by a good sale! There was only a few left when I paid full price for that first one, I'm pleased I snapped it up, but I do think it's better to wait for a sale, as I did for all the others!
DeleteIve been neglecting my dresses and skirts lately too, but for different reasons, haha! Hopefully I can start breaking them out again soon.
ReplyDeleteI always love the print and shape of that second dress, so fun!

I love how denim jackets totally transform outfits; they're ideal for spring wardrobes and I love the two ways in which you've styled your denim jacket here! Have a wonderful weekend!

I really like your aztec print dress, it's fun to have prints that a bit different than the usual!
ReplyDeletehttp://iamchiconthecheap.com
I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, you're right it's such a nice print! :)
DeleteThat second outfit is a real style winner! It's no wonder you've worn the combination many times. I always make sure to throw on a light jacket when it rains as well just because the moisture seems to cool the air and I don't want to be caught without a cover up in case the air conditioning is especially chilly any where I end up going.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend Mica!
Yes it's good to have that extra cover up when it rains! :)
DeleteGreat outfit and I love the Rebecca Minkoff bags. Thanks for linking up with Lizzie and i today! LegalLee Blonde
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the purple shade of the bag Mica, it's such an interesting shape too. I really need to pick up a denim jacket for my upcoming travels and they can look great paired with a nice dress too.

I find this one so practical! I want to update it but haven't found the perfect one yet, hope you find one soon!
DeleteI love adding denim jackets over my dresses! These are both styled perfectly, and I'm loving both bags!

I love how the bright bags pop against the print dresses! I was thinking about the (sad) collection of bags I do have and realized I don't have any fun colored ones. I need to get on that!
ReplyDeleteNeutral bags are great, but I love little pops of colour so I'm all about bright bags, haha!
DeleteDont neglect dresess! They're both lovely, I love the pairing of the second outfit with the mustard bag!

I really need to wear them more often! It was a shorts heavy summer!
DeleteLove the denim with the dress!

Mica, all I want to say is today I bought 4 dresses because of you. All I could think about was how lovely you look in Summer dresses and yes, I bought 4! Can't wait for the weather to warm up and I can finally start wearing them. Thank you so much for making me step out of my comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteShireen⎜Reflection of Sanity
Oh yey! I can't wait to see them, I hope you will share them on your blog :) And that you get the warm weather to allow you to wear them soon!
DeleteThis is exactly why I love the denim jackets---they work with everything, and are the perfect way to make a dress seem more casual!!!

Summer dresses all day! Blue and purple are a lovely combination. I'm glad that I get to wear them frequently here!
ReplyDeleteYes I get to wear a lot of dresses! I've just been passing them up in favour of shorts lately.
DeleteCute, love purple the bag!

The denim jacket looks great with the dress and the mustard/yellow bag. Love how the colours work together x
ReplyDeleteLAURA | Laura Thinks About
Every year I try to find the perfect denim jacket ready for summer and every year I fail! I'm not sure why I struggle so much but they're either too short or too uncomfortable... You've definitely reminded me of why I definitely need one this year - they go with so much!
ReplyDeleteMusings & More
They do go with so much! I need to replace this one but haven't found the perfect one yet so I know the searching you're going through! Hope you find one!
DeleteHi Mica! You look so cute in dresses! I love how you layered with a denim jacket...very cute and cozy look! As always your bags compliment beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed new week!

Both the outfits are winners, Mica:) That denim jacket is so versatile, and those dresses are lovely. I'm so jealous that you guys are having humid days there right now....sigh...I feel like this chilly weather will never leave us.
ReplyDeletehaha we are the opposite, I'm feeling like the humidity will never leave us!
DeleteI'm in love with that purple bag and the blue and white dress is definitely something I would wear a lot, just like you. These little dresses are lifesavers on those days when I need to run out of the house without thinking too long about what I'm going to wear.
ReplyDeleteScent of Summer
Yes, I love how dresses are easy, instant outfits like that! :)

Those are two great dresses Mica! I've always loved them on you. A denim jacket really looks great with both.

I'm not a fan of denim jackets on myself but I think you look so effortlessly stylish in them! Also love your 2 bags, they add such a nice pop of color to your outfits! :)
ReplyDeleteJenny // Geeky Posh
Thanks! I love a bright bag as a pop of colour with my outfits :)
DeleteI love that mustard bag! It's super cute and the color is perfect! I love the denim jacket with both dresses!

Thanks all for your lovely comments :)
ReplyDeleteDresses are so nice to wear when it is humid out. I absolutely love reaching for my denim jacket in summer especially over a dress. It's a great layer and goes with everything!
ReplyDeleteThose dresses look so pretty on you dear. Love the simplicity of their styles, and they look cuter with the denim jacket too.
ReplyDeleteJessica | notjessfashion.com
Love this style of dresses, Mica! I would wear them too as they're super casual but can be dressed up with a shoe swap. I hope you and your family are doing well there and I read in an earlier post that you were sick, I hope you're taking care of yourself with loads of rest and healthy food :) x
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am feeling much better!
