What I wore:
Necklace: ZuriCollections blue polymer clay necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in chartreuse
Jeans: Jeanswest Cecile dove grey skinny jeans
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold
Why I wore it:
This was a last minute thrown together outfit. We'd had a quiet day, with the overcast and rainy weather, and then got an invitation in the afternoon to go out for dinner that evening. I picked my brightest tank to offset the gloomy evening. It's not the first time I've worn this mustard tank and bag together, it's a combination I love even though the shades of yellow don't match exactly.With the mustard tank and bag, I kept everything else in the outfit neutral. I really loved this kimono with the grey skinny jeans. Everytime I wear them together (like here) I always like the resulting outfit. No exception this time around, again I loved this. I appreciated that this kimono is really just a giant blanket so it kept me cosy when we stepped out of the restaurant at the end of the night!
Last worn: Rebecca Minkoff poncho, mustard yellow tank, grey skinny jeans, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.
Other ways to wear: Rebecca Minkoff poncho worn two ways, mustard yellow tank in the office, grey skinny jeans and navy top, silver ballet flats and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag with green.
Perfect for pregnancy: silver ballet flats in third trimester.
My Rebecca Minkoff Handbag Collection:
What I wore:
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Jeans: Jeanswest blackberry super skinny jeans
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum
Why I wore it:
There must be something about these jeans! Once again I unsuspectingly wore them to playgroup, where ti was another messy play day. I did really well, watching the boys from a distance and keeping fairly clean until right at the very end. The boys were playing with pigs in 'mud' (cornflour, cocoa and water) and apparently the pigs liked to cannon ball in from great heights. I wasn't standing far enough back so got a bit splashed.I didn't mind myself and the boys were soaked through as due to the cocoa it all smelled quite lovely, haha! We got some strange looks in Woolies grabbing groceries on the way home later though!
Messy morning aside, I really liked this outfit! These purple pants are frequently worn with blue, and I loved the bright tank with the darker purple. With the bright blue tank, navy floral kimono and purple mini MAB tote bag, I really liked all of the colours in this outfit. It felt so spring-like!
Last worn: navy cocoon kimono, blue tank, purple skinny jeans, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote.
Other ways to wear: floral kimono and stripes, blue tank in the office, purple skinny jeans and ombre knit, Converse for exploring Sydney, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote and maxi skirt.
Perfect for pregnancy: navy cocoon kimono at 39 weeks, purple skinny jeans in first trimester, Converse for second trimester travel, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in second trimester.
Bright Tanks Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
Add some colour to your outfit with a plain but colourful tank! It's so easy to wear with jeans to add an extra touch of colour to your look. If you're unsure how to wear a bright tank, try pairing it with neutral layers like in the first outfit. You can go bold and pair it with other complementary colours like the second outfit if you prefer.Linking up With Friday Faves, Lizzie In Lace, Sunday Reflections, Shoe & Tell, Modest Monday On Mondays We Link Up, Start The Week Stylish, Fun Fashion, Weekend Wear.

These outfits are perfect for Spring, Mica! I love the colour combo in both looks, but I especially like the second outfit! I love how your top and jeans tie in so well with your pretty kimono. I love how your bag matches your outfit in both looks, too. Hope you have a great weekend, Mica! XXX
ReplyDeleteThanks Sasha! I love kimonos in Spring :)
DeleteHappy Friday and Happy Spring! I absolutely adore both looks. Kimonos are fresh ways to layer an outfit especially while the weather is not too hot. That third piece pulls even the simplest outfit together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWell I pray you and your family have a wonderful weekend. I plan to do some landscaping work in my yard. ..well maybe supervise the process..haha:) ..and hopefully play some tennis.

I love all the brights paired with dark! Always a good way to switch things up! I'm usually darks with darks, haha...I should start throwing in a bright top every now and then

It's a fun way to change up an outfit a little! :)

Thanks Jodie! They go with so much! :)
DeleteThis is such a great outfit formula. Kimonos are always a fun outer layer and it's great how you can interchange the components for different looks. Happy weekend Mica!
ReplyDeleteYes they are a great layer in the warmer weather!
DeleteHeehee...boys will be boys, eh? Anyhoo, love both these outfits:) I do agree that kimonos do add something to outfits. Your colour combos are bang on as always.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Mica!
haha yes, they love making a mess!
DeleteI really can't say what outfit I liked more, since the colours in both are simply perfect. I love how you paired the bright yellow top with a mustard bag, I think those two shades of shadow match really well. I do agree that a pop of yellow is the perfect way to add some colour to the rainy day. I also agree that a kimono (or a long cardigan) is a great way to make an outfit more interesting and chic. An ideal way to layer an outfit. The second outfit is lovely as well. The shades of purple match so nicely. You look great in both outfits. Have a great weekend! Today is teacher's day so I have a day off and I can enjoy an extra long weekend:).

DeleteI absoloutely love how bright your outfits are Mica! You're definitely inspiring me to try some coloured jeans as I love your blackberry choice, such a subtle difference but so much nicer than boring blue jeans I wear most days!

Glad I could inspire you! It's a nice change from the standard blue jeans!

I love both of your outfits! I actually have a really similar kimono to your first one...I never thought to pair it with mustard colors before. That is a fantastic idea. I'm going to have to try that now. Thank you for the idea!

You always pair your bags well with your clothes, the mustard with that kimono, the purple with those jeans... you nail it everytime! Even though it's not Fall for you, I get a Fall sense in your looks here! Very pretty!

Yay, the kimonos are back! :D I always love how you style them, hun. I especially like the colour play in the first outfit. Mustard is so popular, I've always been a little afraid of it myself but I might bite the bullet... Thanks for sharing and inspiring me as always, babe!

hehe thanks! I always get excited when it's kimono weather again! :)
DeleteI love love the colors in your second outfit! Such a pretty effect! Too bad those pigs in mud are so messy though, haha!
ReplyDeleteSo very messy! Lots of fun too though.
DeleteI also love that about kimonos. They are one of these pieces that you can just throw on over almost anything.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your outfits are lovely. I love the color combinations. The mustard looks beautiful with the neutral grey and I really like the more unexpected purple with turquoise.

I finally got a kimono, but now I need to test the waters and style it with some color! I'm sure I can find plenty of inspiration here.
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
I'd love to see how you've been wearing your kimono! :)
DeleteI love the colors of both of these looks Mica! The pops of yellow are so pretty and purple is such a favorite. The "pigs in the mud" activity sounds like one my kids would love too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey really would! It was so much fun for them!
DeleteYou know what, I'm going to steal the yellow outfit of yours! I love everything about it. The kimono is gorgeous and I love how it adds a blanket effect to the whole look. You look beautiful and I love that you carried a bag from a similar color family. The purple pants reminded me of my own that I haven't worn in the longest. I wonder where they are now? Heheh :) x
ReplyDeleteSo glad I could inspire you - hope you find your purple pants!
DeleteYou really have the cutest combos with your bag dear. Love how you style your outfit with the bag.
