Plain Tees, Floral Kimonos and Denim Shorts With Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Bags

You can't beat denim and a kimono for an easy mum outfit. It's autumn and I'm still posting denim shorts outfits! Partly because I have a backlog of outfit pics (I post 6 outfits a week so I can have a day 'off' but sometimes I take a pic every day), partly because autumn officially starts on the first of March but it often takes Brisbane weather a little while to catch up! One of the benefits of living in a tropical climate. 🌞

BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Unlike the last time I wore this kimono, I didn't need it for sun protection! I was studying for my big exam and feeling the pressure with a few days to go. With the humidity and threat of further rain, I decided to take them indoors and we headed to the local McDonald's playground! I was suitably sugared up for studying with a massive hot chocolate as the boys played in the playground. We ended up having lunch there too before heading home.

The longer sleeves on this kimono worked perfectly for spending a couple of hours in the aircon studying. It adds a fun touch of colour with the black tee too, and I think the magenta worked so nicely with the turquoise bag and necklace. I just had to match the necklace and bag together, you know I love a bit of machy-matchy.

BagRebecca Minkoff neon pink mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Again with the same necklace! Although I didn't match it to my bag this time.

Just like the last time I wore this olive tee and these black denim shorts together, I felt I needed to add a little something. Last time I added a light scarf for an extra colour and print, this time around I stuck with the navy colour but picked this pretty floral kimono instead. It's such a fun one to wear, the cocoon style is like being wrapped up in a big hug!

With the pink in the floral print, this neon pink mini MAC bag seemed like a good choice, and it really pops with the navy, olive and black neutrals.

Just a normal quiet weekend, grocery shopping and swimming lessons, before trying to get more study in in the afternoon when the boys were at the park with their dad.

Floral Kimonos Under $50:





How You Can Wear It:

A floral kimono is a fun way to add a little extra colour or interest to an otherwise plain jeans and tee outfit. You can match your accessories to the colours in the print like in the second outfit, or pick a completely different colour like in the first outfit, to add even more colour.

  5. You always inspire me to wear kimonos when I see you style them, but end up forgetting to snag some when I’m out shopping. I have to remember because they can really add a nice effortlessly chic touch to an otherwise simple outfit. Thanks for sharing and have a great rest of the week!

  19. I finally bought a pair of denim shorts this year but now I want a kimono or 2. Will be on the lookout while thrifting. Had one a couple years ago but did not love it and I donated it.

  20. I love these colored floral Kimono with your basic outfit and pop from your bags. ALways on spot with your outfits and bags. Love that about you <3.

    I have been sick again for another week. It seems the weather in here doesnot want to get warmer. But hopefully this will be my last time being sick.

    hope you are having great day.

  21. My floral kimono is pretty plain compared to yours, but even with the black base I feel like it adds a lot of interest to my outfits, just like yours do.

  22. You always wear shorts and kimonos so well. I love how in the first outfit there are blue details in the kimono that go well with the denim shorts. The tassel necklace and the bag match nicely too. I really like the second outfit as well. The floral print is so pretty. I don't have a preference this time, I like both outfits equally. Have a lovely day.
