What I wore:
Dress: Jeanswest 'Chelsea' printed dress
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Why I wore it:
Couldn't resist going matchy-matchy with this outfit! Silver glitter shoes, and metallic silver mini MAC bag with a blue scarf and printed dress. Took me a while to decide on a scarf to wear in the morning - sometimes I leave my accessory decisions to the last minute even if I plan my outfits the night before. I tried this on and knew it would be perfect with the blue boho print of the dress.While I don't wear this dress much over winter (I have layered it a few times) it gets worn frequently over spring and summer. Was a nice and simple outfit for a trip out shopping with the boys and my sister. We started the day at the playground before heading to the shops for a browse and some lunch (I've already shared my purchases!). Such a fun day, and nice to catch up with my sister. The boys loved it, even if we did spend time shopping, as they love their aunt.
Last worn: Louis Vuitton shawl, boho print dress, glitter sneakers, metallic silver mini MAC bag.
Other ways to wear: Louis Vuitton shawl and jeans, boho print dress and autumn layers, glitter sneakers and jeans, metallic silver mini MAC bag and maxi skirt.
Perfect for pregnancy: boho print dress in second trimester, metallic silver mini MAC bag in second trimester.
Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC: Review & What's In My Bag
What I wore:
Dress: Shein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o)
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC
Why I wore it:
Since I liked the outfit combo above so much, I did what I usually do and repeated it again a few days later with different pieces. Kept the silver mini MAC and glitter sneakers, and picked a different blue printed dress with an orange scarf this time. Was a comfortable outfit for a morning with the kids at an ABA-funded CPR and choking course.You've seen me wear this dress with red a lot in the past. I've always thought the print was red. I saw on A Pocket Full of Polka Dots blog Jennie said it was orange and it made me question my eyes! I think it's a very orangey red, and could go either way. I appreciate her post as now I have a new colour combo to wear with this dress!
The longer knee length dress came in really helpful as I was running around with the boys before and after the course. It was a great course, I think you can never really have too many first aid refreshers, especially as I know from experience when things go wrong with the kids my mind goes blank! You always hope you'll never have to use anything you learn at one of these courses, but you want to remember it just in case.
Last worn: orange crinkle scarf, floral swing dress, silver glitter sneakers (above), Rebecca MInkoff mini MAC (above).
Other ways to wear: orange crinkle scarf and skinny jeans, floral swing dress and red bag, silver glitter sneakers and green pants, Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC and printed shorts.
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in third trimester.
Printed Dresses Under $50:
How You Can Wear It:
A dress and sneakers is a great outfit combination for spring when it's not quite warm enough to bare your toes in sandals! Fun sparkly ones add a little extra interest to your look, and work with any printed dress you have. Bold scarves that match one of the colours in the print of your dress is a good way to stay warm in the colder mornings and evenings too.

Both of these dresses are so pretty, Mica! They look great paired with the bright scarves. I love the silver glittery shoes and they look great together with your silver bag. Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Mica! XXX
ReplyDeleteThanks Sasha! The silver accessories look so good together! :)
DeleteI have a pair of black and gold glitter sneakers too and I love them! Never thought I would, but they dress up every plain outfit while being comfortable.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Linda, Libra, Loca
They are perfect for that! I love these silver ones :)
DeleteThese printed dresses are fabulous, with the first one being my favourite - such a fun and busy print, perfect for any and all of the seasons, styled in different ways (as you've shown here, for Autumn!) :) hope you have a brilliant weekend babe!

Thanks Gabby :) I like wearing this dress year-round!
DeleteI am the same way...I have a pair of sneakers like this and wore them a ton at first. I'm not sure why I stopped, but I'm going to get them back out (at least on the warmer days...)

Hopefully you still have a few warm days this year so you can wear them again :)
DeleteSuch pretty dresses, Mica! I love how you used a scarf to complement the colors of the print. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGina || On the Daily Express
The silver mini Mac is such a great neutral. I've been thinking about a larger silver neutral bag which I'm not sure works as well - this size is great!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a larger silver bag and I loved it - it's definitely just as practical! :)
DeleteI totally love the colors and I need that bag!

Your glitter sneakers are so cute and they work really well with both outfits. I don't own own glitter sneakers but I do have a pair of silver leather sneakers that are incredibly versatile. Happy weekend Mica!
ReplyDeleteI think any kind of metallic - glitter or not - is so versatile !Your shoes sound lovely :)
DeleteSo happy that you went back and got those shoe. I so wanted a pair but Walmart didn't carry them in woman's shoe. I did get my daughter a pair of gold glitter shoe. I hope you have an awesome weekend. So far we have nothing planned for this weekend.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amysfashionblog.com/blog-home/
Hope you can find a similar pair eventually! :)
Deletewow, those glitter sneakers are so adorable...and at 8 dollars they're super affordable. These sneakers look fabulous paired with both dresses. You look fantastic in these youthful outfits....very fresh and pretty.
ReplyDeletehttps://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/
Thanks! These were such a sale bargain! :)
DeleteThese are both super-cute outfits, Mica! I think you've really hit on a winning formula for you. The patterned dresses mean you don't have to worry too much about accessories - the scarves and bag and glitter shoes (LOVE) are just right. Great for a mom on the go like you!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fabulous weekend, my dear!
Thanks Sheila - that's exactly it, simple is a winner for me right now! :)
DeleteYour dresses are cute :)

Those sneakers are awesome, Mica! They go so well with both dresses. I'm so sad we don't have Kmart here in Canada. We used to shop there a lot when I was younger, but they sadly all closed down.:(
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend!
It's a shame! Our Kmart is awesome, but our Target is struggling and I know Target is so popular in the US!
DeleteWhat a great deal! I think they closed all of the Kmarts over here. Those sneakers are super cute with both of your dresses!
ReplyDeleteJill - Doused in Pink
It's a shame it wasn't like our Kmart here - I think ours is more like your Target, our Target here is terrible!
DeleteOh man, you got your sneakers for such a great price. Glitter works out when you have patterns going on with your outfit. I like how you styled the first outfit - good gist of blue. I like that the second outfit gives me some warm autumn vibes without being hit with a bunch of seasonal colors.
ReplyDeleteNancy ♥ exquisitely.me
Thanks Nancy :) I do love blue! :)
DeleteThe glitter sneakers look great in both looks. What a fun find! I love the paring of a pretty dress, scarf and a fun pair of sneakers. You look great!

I love those sneakers on you, they look so much fun and cool. Probably not for me though, I don't think it goes with any of my outfits.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised by how many ways I've worn these! They go with a lot! :)
DeleteThose glitter sneakers are cute, and what a great price!
ReplyDeleteLove your new sneakers. They're so cute. I love anything glittery!

I love bright color scarf.

That is a pretty combination of blues and metallic. Who would have thought it's only $8 from Kmart, such a fab find. It was a hot weekend in Sydney but now it's back to cool temp. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeletewww.busyandfab.com
Yes I got lucky in the Kmart sale! :) I've been shopping there a lot more often recently! :)
DeleteBoth dresses are great! I love the bright scarves- we will soon need our scarves in the UK!
ReplyDeleteI really like the style of these glitter shoes. The second outfit is definitely my favourite. You look great.

Those sneakers are sooo cool and what a bargain Mica.
ReplyDeleteI got a similar pair sans glitter a few months ago and have yet to style them, i am terrible when it comes to incorporating sneakers into outfit.
Looking good my friend.
Hope you can get some ideas for how to wear them from my blog! :) I've really been enjoying these! :)
