Printed Tops and Maxi Skirts With Red Rebecca Minkoff Micro Avery Bag

Such a simple outfit formula - pick a printed top and pair it with a plain maxi skirt! Since both the polka dot cami and logo tee have a little red in them, I thought my Rebecca Minkoff mini Avery bag was the best accessory for both outfits.

What I wore:

black maxi skirt with Rebecca Minkoff micro avery tote bag | awayfromtheblue

awayfromblue instagram ruffle polka dot cami and drawstring waist maxi skirt red avery bag

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a busy day! We had our final ABA meeting for the year, so it was Christmas themed. It was also, sadly, our last time at the Australian Breastfeeding association group meetings. The new year means a change of day for the sessions and we can't make it on the new day unfortunately! I'm still a member and will try organise some pram walks on the days we are free so I can still catch up with my friends.

After a slightly emotional morning, it was off to run errands. The post office was okay, but waiting in line at the bank with two kids who had filled up on sugary morning tea (including chocolate brownies I brought along for the group) probably wasn't the best option. 😂

Hyper kids aside, I really liked this outfit. It was comfortable for the day and the red and green necklace, which can be worn year-round, definitely didn't look out of place at the Christmas party.



Perfect for pregnancypolka dot cami in second trimester.


What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Micro Avery Tote

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee

Why I wore it:

I was doing a couple of Instagram style challenges in December and the theme for the day on them both was stripes. I hard a hard time picking one piece to wear, stripes are definitely my favourite print! I settled on this fun Coca-Cola thrifted tee, as I thought it went really nicely with this chambray maxi skirt. It's not the first time I've worn this chambray skirt and little red Avery bag together, they are a lovely combo. It tied in nicely with the red logo on the striped tee too.

The boys and I had a quieter day - a couple of errands to run (including picking up food for the daycare Christmas party later in the week) and then some time playing at the playground. Nice easy outfit for all of that.

How You Can Wear It:

A plain maxi skirt is a great outfit base, letting you pick any printed piece to wear with it - stripes or polka dots work equally well. They are also a nice option for a hot summer day as a stay at home mum as you can easily run after the kids (and break up wrestling games in the bank) in them!

  2. Sometimes the simplest formulas are also the most perfect ones - I love the dashes of bright red in both these combos.

  5. You are right, a maxi skirt with a printed top is really a well-working outfit formula! Both of your looks are the best proofs and I like them. So sorry that the start of the first day was that touching and afterwards you had to be in the line at the bank with the two kids ... How good the second day was a quieter one!

  8. My favorite outfit is the coca cola tee with the chambray maxi! Reminds me of a super cute vintage coca cola commercial :) Sounds like you've had a couple of hectic days with the kiddos - halfway to weekend though!!

  20. That's something I haven't ever worn enough of, printed tops and maxi skirts, but then again I haven't really worn enough maxi skirts full stop! I used to! One of my favourite combos was a denim shirt and pink one from way back when, but I love how you've styled these, especially the top one! Happy new year, Mica!

  32. I really like the necklace you have worn with the first outfit. Somehow the bright red bag makes it stand out even more. The two complement each other beautifully. I do like the combo of a printed top and a maxi skirt. The second styling is so adorable. I love striped t-shirts. That t-shirt looks great paired with that pale blue maxi skirt....and the red bag is a nice touch with the Coca Cola writing.

  45. The second casual outfit is lovely, but the first look is my favorite. I just love the color combination of black, white and red. I agree that a maxi skirt makes a great base for an outfit.
