What I wore:
Tank: French Connection feather foil singlet
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
Not the first time I've worn this scarf with olive! I really like navy and olive together. I thought the scarf was a cute completer piece to add to the outfit, as the black tank and olive shorts seemed a little flat. Last time I wore the tank and shorts together I added a kimono.Despite the hot day, the scarf was a welcome addition as we spent some time in the aircon, trying to do a little more Christmas shopping at the local shopping centre. We ended up coming home empty handed, but with ideas for things to look at further, when we didn't have the boys with us.
Picked my Rebecca Minkoff Love bag to wear as it's a nice neutral that goes with everything and I felt it had been a while since I last wore it. A few months actually!
Last worn: French Connection tank, navy printed scarf, olive embroidered shorts, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag.
Other ways to wear: French Connection tank and maxi skirt, navy printed scarf and jeans, olive embroidered shorts and mustard, Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: French Connection tank and hidden baby bump, Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag in third trimester.
30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Love Bag
What I wore:
Tank: Jeanswest Brianna basque hem tank
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
Another basic black tank and shorts outfit dressed up with a scarf. While I did spend a little bit of the day in the aircon at the library with the boys, I felt it was a bit too hot and humid the rest of the day to wear the scarf as a scarf. So I improvised and wore it as a kimono! It's not the first time I've worn a scarf as a kimono, but it's probably my favourite way I've done so.I think the pink leaf print was so pretty and a nice way to add interest to the plain outfit. Even if I did have to keep readjusting the scarf - this works a little better with square scarves instead of rectangular ones like this. Made it a nice light option for spending the day with the boys though.
Again, I stuck with the classic grey Rebecca Minkoff love bag as it really does go with everything!

How You Can Wear It:
A black tank is a wardrobe staple. In the warmer months, it looks great with shorts, from detailed embroidered pairs to basic denim ones. If the outfit feels a little plain, you can easily throw on a fun and colourful printed scarf. Draped loosely around your neck for a day spent in air conditioning, or tied as a kimono for a lightweight option on a day you're spending more time in the heat.Linking up with Weekend Wear, Fabulous Friday, Flashback Fashion.

Love your embroidered shorts and I adore both bags. I have the same bag in a tan color that I use all the time!

You look amazing dear :)

I really enjoy olive and navy paired together as well - they're both such rick colours and I think they offset each other nicely (and I'm envious you can wear shorts - I've awoken to -17 degree temperatures and snow everywhere!).

Oh wow, we have nothing like those temps in Brisbane! I'll definitely be wearing olive and navy together more :)
DeleteI had a similar pair of olive shorts and they were a FAVORITE last summer! So comfy and versatile! I also just got that same RM bag in a burgundy color and I LOVE it! It's the perfect compact size! Love the color you chose as well!

Your burgundy love bag is the cutest! And yes, these shorts were worn so much last year too, they go with so much! :)
DeleteAnother day and another gorgeous outfit ;)
ReplyDeleteLots of love ♥ January Girl
I love the pattern of that first scarf! Both of these outfits are perfect for hot days!

I LOVE how you styled your scarf as a kimono! That's brilliant, and it looks so lovely. Both of these outfits are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a wonderful week! :)
Thanks Lindsay! I love thinking of different ways to wear things!
DeleteI love how easily you've transformed your scarf into a kimono! That is so clever and a great way to wear it when you don't want something on your neck.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.iamchiconthecheap.com/
It is a nice alternative :)
DeleteThank you for this blog post. I enjoyed it so much. Keep writing xo
ReplyDeleteThe scarves are such a fun addition! Love them!
ReplyDeleteThe addition of the scarf and the kimono/shawl really elevate both outfits from the ordinary. That second outfit especially, looks great on you, Mica.
ReplyDeleteHappy week, my dear!
Thank you Sheila! I've been loving scarves as ways to lift my outfits a little more!
DeleteAwwh How much I love your style. I envy you can wear shorts. It is pretty cold in here for shorts . I love your Rebecca Minkoff bag along with your green and jeans shorts and the scarfs are just perfect pop of color

These are both such fun looks and such pretty scarves! It's so funny to see shorts right now, just as I'm sure it's weird to you to see us Americans all bundled up, ha! I love that navy print scarf especially, it will go with so much!
ReplyDeletehaha yes it's weird seeing the layered outfits as I sweat in the heat!
DeleteBoth are super cute outfits as always:) As someone who hates super cold air con in the summer, I love how scarves like these can add a bit of warmth. Also love how you wore the scarf as a kimono on the second outfit! That's just brilliant:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emmy! They are great for wearing in the aircon! :)
DeleteLovely to see you wearing such great summer items! Enjoy the season!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the embroidery on those shorts. And I have the same bag in pale lavender. I love it!

You have so many lovely scarves, Mica! I really love how you style them and they always brighten up your outfits. I especially like how you've styled the pretty pink leaf scarf as a kimono. Hope you're having a great week, Mica! XXX
ReplyDeleteIs that pink cover really a scarf? It looks like a kimono! So pretty! I hope you enjoy the rest of your week! ♥

Yes, it's a beautiful scarf! It's easy to turn a scarf into a kimono! :)
DeleteI have so many scarves and I always forget to wear them, I need to bring them to the front of my closet. I just love the scarf you wore as a kimono! I need to update my black tank to something not so worn this next Spring!

Like you I love wearing shorts when it is hot! And you are right - a scarf pimps such an outfit immediately up! And what a fantastic idea to wear a scarf as kimono like you did it in the second look!

Great selections! The addition of the scarf was a great idea. Thanks for visiting my blog.

I really love the navy and olive together as well! It's a unique color scheme that looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat bag looks great with both outfits! I totally agree that a black tank is such a versatile summer wardrobe staple. I always carry a scarf in my bag in the summer so I won't freeze in places with strong air conditioning.
ReplyDeleteThis is making me miss summer! I love how you wore the second scarf as a kimono. That's something I'm going to try once it gets warm here. I hope you have a great rest of your week and stay cool!

I am sitting here in a cardigan on top of my jumper and with a blanket over my knees - shorts are nothing but a distant memory! The combination looks pretty though.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Linda, Libra, Loca
haha yes, so different from your weather as we enjoy summer heat and humidity!
DeleteBoth of these looks are great, but the second one is my favorite. It actually never occurred to me to wear a scarf as a kimono, but I love the idea. I'm definitely going to try it out in the summer or maybe even with a thicker scarf in the winter.

ReplyDeleteA black tank top is a must have. I love how you wore that second scarf.

I like the way the scarf embellishes both of these fairly simple looks in a really pretty way!
