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:

Necklace: Oxfam Noah's Ark green red beaded necklace

Cami: Jeanswest 'Mia' cami in black

Skirt: Jeanswest Luxe jersey maxi skirt

Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body 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.

Last worn: polka dot cami, red and green necklace, drawstring maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote.

Other ways to wear: polka dot cami and denim shorts, drawstring maxi skirt worn two ways, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery tote and little grey dress.

Perfect for pregnancy: polka dot cami in second trimester.

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

What I wore:

Tee: thrifted navy stripe Coca-Cola logo tee

Skirt: Noisy May long denim maxi skirt

Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff red micro Avery cross body bag

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.

Last worn: striped Coca-Cola tee, chambray maxi skirt, Havaianas (above), Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag (above).

Other ways to wear: striped Coca-Cola tee worn two ways, chambray maxi skirt in winter, Rebecca Minkoff micro Avery bag and black dress.

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!
