What I wore:
Tank: Asos satin singlet in pink
Shorts: Jeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bracelets: the usual plus Hermes pink clic clac
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
This was an absolutely crazy day. Usually on a crazy busy day I'd stick with a comfortable tried and true outfit, but I decided at the last minute to try something a little different and add this pale pink leaf print scarf to the hot pink tank. While it was a hot day, it was a very windy one so the scarf was a great accessory to have. Particularly when the dust picked up.I had to drive into the city for an appointment and it was an interesting drive - some of the remnants of the dust storm had reached Brisbane and everything was very hazy. Which lead to a lot of questions from the kids in the back seat about why the city was so 'misty'. And a very dirty car - although I wore this back in November - like everyone else in Brisbane my car stayed covered in red dust for a few weeks!
With the pink on pink, the neutral Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag seemed like a good choice, and it held a few things I needed for the appointment. Perfect for running errands after too.
Last worn: leaf print scarf, pink tank, black denim shorts, Hermes clic clac, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag.
Other ways to wear: leaf print scarf worn as a kimono, pink tank and cobalt, black denim shorts and kimono, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag and maxi dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: pink tank in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag in third trimester.
5 Different Ways To Wear the Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag
What I wore:
Tank: Jeanswest Helene sleeveless textured shirt in berry
Shorts: Jeanswest Trinity Bermuda denim shorts
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
A very similar outfit formula to the one above, again with a pink tank and denim shorts. I added this fun chicken and egg print scarf for a little extra interest with the otherwise plain outfit. Unlike the day above, this was a much more relaxed day with the boys. We headed out to the library for rhyme time and then stopped at a few stores on the way home to run some errands. Being in aircon for most of the day, the scarf was a good extra layer to stop it feeling too chilly in the shopping centre.Last worn: bird print scarf, pink button up tank, Bermuda denim shorts, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag (above).
Other ways to wear: bird print scarf and pencil skirt, pink button up tank and flares, Bermuda denim shorts and embroidered blouse, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag and dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: pink button up tank in first trimester, Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:
A plain tank and denim shorts is such an easy summer staple outfit. If you want to change things up a little between wears, try throwing on a cute scarf for some extra interest to your outfit. If it's a cooler summer day or you're spending a lot of time in the aircon it will make you a little warmer too! Light fabrics like viscose are best for scarves you want to wear in summer.Hope you have a very happy new year! I will be spending it as I usually do since having kids, exhausted and asleep in bed missing welcoming in the new year! 😂

I am wearing scarves daily too, but for completely opposite reasons. It is cold and wet and miserable here.

They are a practical choice in winter! Hope you get some nice weather soon! :)
DeleteA lot of the books I've read that have taken place in Australia mention the wind & dust a lot, so it's interesting to see you mention it here too. I guess it's a real thing and not just fiction! Anyway, you look great in pink! Both of these tops are really flattering on you, and as usual I love your RM bag. :)

It's not too common here in Brisbane but it does happen now and then! Especially while we are in a drought, it's so dry here.
DeleteHappy new year!

I tend to wear scarves only in the colder months, but seeing you wear them in the summer is really such a great idea. I always get cold when the malls blast their A/Cs during summer, and adding a scarf would really help! You look so great in pinks:)
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy New Year to you and your family, Mica. God bless:)
Thanks Emmy! Pinks are fun to wear! :)
DeleteI rarely wear scarves in the summer, but if they are lightweight, it's smart. Especially when you go into air conditioned places!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Mica!!

They are helpful in the aircon!
DeleteNo wonder you got that many questions from the back seat! Sorry for the dirty car but I like your outfit and I think it was finally a good choice for that day. Like you I love a tank top with shorts when it is hot and therefore I like also your 2nd look!
ReplyDeleteHave a healthy and wonderful New Year!

Thanks Rena! it was a strange thing for them to see indeed, lots of questions, haha!
DeleteThat is such a nice neutral bag! And a great size too. I am such a fan of bags that can be carried in your hands or worn over your shoulder or crossbody. Your outfits are so cute! The scarves really add some extra pizzaz! Happy New Years!
ReplyDeleteScarves are great like that! And I love bags you can carry multiple ways :)
DeleteThe weather looks so nice there and I love both of the outfits x

You look super cute!! I'm so jealous of your shorts and tanks right now!
ReplyDeleteLove this pink top with your black shorts. The bag is a great pop of color. Happy new year

I love the pops of pink in each outfit! Both scarves are really cute and once it gets warm here I'm going to need to remember to wear some more often since air conditioning makes some places so cold. I hope you have a wonderful new year and wishing you and your family all the best in 2019!

Thanks Kara! Yes it can get so cold in aircon sometimes! Happy new year!
DeleteThat tasseled scarf is so fun, I love that! Send some warmth my way, ha, I'm sitting inside right now with my coat on because it's so cold! :) Happy New Year Mica :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get some warmer weather soon! :)
DeleteLoving the bring pink for Summer! They might be similar looks but they're totally different :D
ReplyDeletehttps://www.closet-fashionista.com/
Both outfits are wonderful. I love how you matched two shades of pink in the first outfit. Lovely pink scarf.
ReplyDeleteI really like the second scarf as well. great shorts as well. Wind can be tricky to dress for, especially warm wind but you seem to manage well.
I've never considered a scarf a summer accessory but now I can see it goes great with shorts. You look fabulous, as always! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sammie! Glad I could introduce you to a new idea! :)
DeleteThat wind storm sounds interesting. Glad you made it to your apt. safe. Both of these outfits are right up my ally. Have a great new year.

It was certainly a different drive than what I'm used to, but luckily it's not too bad here in the city!
DeleteThese are both great summer outfits, Mica! I love the pink tanks and those scarves really give both looks a pop of colour and fun! So pretty! Happy New Year Mica! I hope 2019 is a wonderful year for you and your family. ;) XXX

Happy New Year, Mica! We spent New Year's Eve with friends, but I was still in bed shortly after welcoming in the new year ;-) Love your Summer looks. It will be a long time yet before I can start wearing sleeveless top and frocks again. Hot pink is a great choice! xxx

ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic in that bright pink, Mica! What a great colour on you!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a very Merry Christmas and wishing you and your family all the best for 2019!
HNY Mica !
ReplyDeleteYay for adding scarves to up your game... have you done a CPW with scarves?
Thanks Lorena! Happy new year! :) No, I haven't done a CPW for scarves yet! Most are around the $10-15 mark so they'd be about $1 per wear, but I have some very exxy ones that would have high CPW!
DeleteThe bright pink is such a fun color, I don't think I've worn in quite some time! The dust storm sounds crazy, hope it's all settled now!
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
It was all over pretty quickly, and it's mild here in the city so we didn't have it too bad!
DeleteSuch a cute play of color dear, especially the first one.
