What I wore:
Tee: Atmos & Here black essential v-neck tee
Skirt: thrifted Billabong red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red (on sale in blue!)
Why I wore it:
I adore this skirt so much and it was the first one that came to mind when picking an outfit to wear to meet Sasha. It's so light in the heat and swishes beautifully when you walk, kind of creating its own breeze. The day was forecast to be extremely hot, so we ended up spending more time indoors than anticipated.Sasha is another Brisbane blogger and while she lives a little distance away from me, we caught up at a mid point in the city, at the state library. The cafe there was lovely and very quiet until I showed up with the boys! In the end we ducked into the kids play area at the library so the boys could run around a little more and we could continue chatting. Always so nice meeting another blogging friend in person, even more so when they are as interesting as Sasha. We spoke for a couple of hours, which seemed to be over in a few minutes, before I took the boys for lunch in the city and headed home.
Keeping things simple with the outfit, I went with a neutral black tee, a red bag to match the red skirt, and my latest necklace purchase to match the gold hardware on the bag. You can see why I enjoy Sasha's blog so much, we have very similar style! Thanks to Mr 4 who kindly took the photo for us.
Last worn: black tee, tassel necklace, red printed maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag.

What I wore:
Tee: Jeanswest Emma woven trim tee in terracotta
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
Thankfully this day wasn't as hot as the one above. As you can see, there was even a bit of a breeze! I kept to the simple outfit formula I'd liked so much above, going a little more colourful this time with the basic red tee and navy striped maxi skirt. I accessorised with the baby friendly necklace as we spent the morning at our local ABA group, the topic was baby / toddler massage.The last time I did a baby massage class my now 2 and a half year old was a tiny little 3 week old, so I was really looking forward to it! I went in with two very eager to help little boys, which quickly turned into me chasing kids around the room in between attempting to practice the massage techniques. I definitely don't do the massage techniques as often as I should, but there are so many benefits to it so I'm going to try do it more often. It's a lot more fun to do when the boys are big enough to give feedback on what they like too!
Stuck with this neutral Rebecca Minkoff Love bag as I still had it out after wearing it a few days before and the grey was a good pairing with the brighter red and navy outfit.
Last worn: red tee, silk necklace, navy striped maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.
Other ways to wear: red tee and jeans, navy striped maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag worn 30 ways.

How You Can Wear It
Printed maxi skirts can be a little daunting as they are such large pieces of print! You can keep things easy and simple by picking a plain tee to wear with them. You can go with a neutral black like I did in the first outfit, or try something different and add a little more colour like in the second outfit. You can't go wrong pairing a plain basic with a fun printed piece!Linking up with Friday Faves, Weekend Linkup, Lizzie In Lace, Sunday Reflections, On Mondays We Link Up, Start The Week Stylish.

You are the queen of wearing maxi anything, Mica:) Both skirts are great. Really love how versatile both pieces are, even the bright orange one! And yay for meeting fellow awesome bloggers:) Frankly, meeting another blogger would probably be scary for me as I am so socially awkward:P
ReplyDeletehaha yes, I am so awkward, but Sasha is so nice, I had a wonderful time! :)
DeleteI love that first maxi skirt! I don't remember seeing it before. Fun to meet up with another blogger. You look so cute in both outfits.

Definitely! It was so fun to meet up in person :)
DeleteIt's so funny that you're talking about the heat and Summer. We're (most of the USA) is wet right now and the mountain ranges are getting snow. I love seeing your warm-weather outfits and I love your Minkoff bags!
ReplyDeletewww.voguefauxreal.com
I agree that maxi skirts are great for the Summer! Both of these outfits look really cool and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThe accessories really make this outfit. Of course, you had me at the color red!
ReplyDeleteYes! Accessories are the best! :)
DeleteI love how you styled your maxi dress! It goes together really well - big plus when your bag matches, hehe. I love how you have quite a collection of RM bags! Great for so many different outfit combinations!

Orange often doesn't get the attention it deserves, so I'm happy to see you wear it. Orange's such a happy colour, isn't it? I do like both of these outfits, they are both lovely but the first one is my fav because that orange maxi is so gorgeous and it looks great paired with a darker top. The second outfit is lovely as well. Orange top and a navy blue skirt work really well.
ReplyDeleteI do understand about the heat, once it gets really warm, it is best to keep things simple. Maxi skirts are such a life saver during the warmer months. Have a lovely week ahead darling!
I'm not sure is 100 metres available on Netflix, I only found information that it is available of Canadian Netflix but I'm not sure does that help. It's a great film, what I found most touching is how it showed the way family members can and should support one another. I think that's always important but especially so when there is someone suffering from any kind of illness or going through a difficult time in general.
it's a shame that film isn't available on Netflix Australia, it does sound like a really nice film :) I like orange, but the skirt's red :)

It feels so strange to hear about the hot weather you are getting! Here in England it's getting really chilly! Love your red bag, what a great collection you have! xx Maria
ReplyDeleteI don't own a maxi skirt but it occurred to me last month that I need one. I love how easy it is to wear and still look put together. That's so nice that you and your friend had a chance to meet up. Blogging buddies are the best and I hope to meet more blogging friends in the future. Your red RM bag is beautiful but as you know I might be biased as I am an RM fan! I hope you had a great weekend and happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMaureen | www.littlemisscasual.com
Yes, I'd love to meet more bloggers sometime! :) Maxi skirts are the best I think! :)
DeleteI particularly love that first outfit, it's just such a lovely color and print. It goes very well with both the jewelry and the bag.
ReplyDeleteI love how the colors coordinate with each other in these two looks--they go together so well :) Both of those skirts are so fun, that orange print one is a favorite! How great to get to meet up with another blogger too, it sounds like a good time!
ReplyDeleteThese are cute and breezy skirts dear. Love how you styled it with your choices of tops. Makes the pattern pop out more.
ReplyDeleteJessica | notjessfashion.com
They are! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your lovely comments - it's a shame the skirt showed up as orange for some of you, it's a really lovely red in person :)
ReplyDeleteWe are transitioning from rainy season to summer so it's been humid and hot here.
ReplyDeleteMy fave here it the red skirt. I am actually wondering how that skirt would look with the red top from the second look for a monochromatic style...
