What I wore:
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)
Why I wore it:
Simple tee dress for a busy day. Every time I wear this dress I'm so glad my sister didn't want it any more! I like wearing it with purple, I've done that before. It's a nice touch of colour with the black. Decided to add in some pink accessories too, I think these Balenciaga studded sandals and the rose gold necklace pair nicely with the purple mini MAB tote bag, even though they are both different shades of pink.Took the boys out to our favourite playground in the morning, then had a couple of errands to run before sneakily managing to buy a birthday present without the birthday boy noticing!
Last worn: All About Eve striped tee dress, rose gold necklace, studded Balenciaga sandals, Rebecca Minkoff purple mini MAB tote bag.
Other ways to wear: All About Eve striped tee dress and brown bag, studded Balenciaga sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff purple mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: studded Balenciaga sandals in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff purple mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.
Donating My Hair Vlog
What I wore:
Dress: Cotton On 'Tina' white striped tee dress in Lissy black / Gardenia
Leggings: Cotton on black 3/4 length leggings
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bag: Balenciaga Day bag in 2005 magenta
Why I wore it:
A little bit more autumn-like with this outfit! I added some leggings to combat the cool morning and also as I worried this dress might be a little too short for a trip to the playground and rhyme time at the local library with the boys.It was also my first attempt to curl my shorter hair. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it could have been a lot better! I think I will wait until it grows a bit more before I try again. As a graduated bob, the back is just too short to hold a proper curl.
Unhappiness with my hair aside, I did like this outfit - the leggings were a good choice for in the library sitting down on the ground with the boys. I think the Balenciaga day bag is such a fun pop of colour with the black and white stripes too.
Last worn: black and white striped tee dress, leggings, navy tassel necklace, rose gold sandals, Balenciaga magenta day bag.
Other ways to wear: black and white striped tee dress without leggings, leggings and Aztec print dress, rose gold sandals and shorts, Balenciaga magenta day bag and maxi dress.
Perfect for pregnancy: leggings in third trimester, Balenciaga magenta day bag in third trimester.

I like your shorter hair curled! I'm sure it will take some getting used to but I like it a lot. Good job buying a birthday present with the birthday boy present - ha!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your purple bag!

Thanks, I might wait for it to be a bit longer before I try again!
DeleteYou really look fantastic with short hair! It's so fun to see the before and after in this post! And I have a RM bag in that same color and I just LOVE it. Such a great color!

I always love a nice easy tee dress! Love the contrasting sleeves on the first one!
ReplyDeleteWhen my hair was super short I had trouble curling it too, especially because I never curl my hair to begin with - but it looked better that way. Eventually you'll get the hang of it/the back will be long enough

Yeah I will wait until it's a little longer before I try again!
DeleteBoth super cute dresses for sure:) And I think your shorter hair curled looks pretty awesome!! You look great:)
ReplyDeleteYes stripes are such a great go to for summer and spring. In fact I took my French niece shopping in Brooklyn yesterday and she picked up a striped dress very similar to this. And your new hair is fun! Looks great.

You can never go wrong with stripes. They are so timeless and classic. Your short hair looks great with curls in it.

You look very nice and casual!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in both of these. I love your new hair - you did a great job curling it.
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a simple striped tee with a vneck! Can t find it! Haha,stripes are so summery!
ReplyDeleteBoth dresses look stylish and comfy, which is the ideal combo for when you're out with the kids, isn't it? ;) I really love your short hair with the curls! Hope you had a relaxing ANZAC Day holiday today, Mica! XXX
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope you did too!
Deletewhat a cute striped dress. You looked great on both occasions. I like how you curled your now shorter hair. It looks very fresh.
ReplyDeletehttps://modaodaradosti.blogspot.com/
Oh my gosh!! I love your short hair! It really looks wonderful on you. My hair is about the same length right now, and it is SO difficult to curl...especially in the back. (Which is why I don't curl it any more, haha.) Although, I think yours turned out wonderfully. Both of your outfits are fabulous as well! I hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteYeah the back was so hard to curl, I think I'll wait until it's longer!
DeleteTee dresses are the best! So chic and comfy! your hair looks amazing, so lovely to donate to such a great cause!

Oh, I can't believe that your sister didn't want to have the first dress any longer as it looks cool and beautiful. Perfect idea to combine it with purple! And also the second look is cool and personally, I really like the result of your first wave styling with your shorter hair.

Yes I'm very lucky she didn't want it any more!
DeleteAdoring both of these outfits and hair-crushing on both styles; your long hair is pure summertime bliss and I'm in love with the cutest curls of your short hair, you did such a gorgeous job curling! The pop of plum in your first outfit is such a dream and your shoes for both outfits are so stylishly cute. That pop of pink in your second outfit is heavenly too! Hope you're having the loveliest week so far! ♥︎

For some reason, I haven't used my bright bags lately! But I really should! I think I have been too lazy to switch bags more often!

I love both ways you styled these tee dresses! They both look really comfortable to wear and I love the added pops of color with the purses. And you hair looks great curled like that!

Looks great Mica - love wearing stripes, thanks for sharing on the #linkup have a lovely weekend. Jacqui Mummabstylish
ReplyDeleteI like the fact your sister gave you her dress. I found some of my best fashion from trading with my older sister. Both of your outfits look lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm glad we still share wardrobes despite no longer living together, haha!
DeleteThere is a certain magic in stripes !.--
ReplyDeleteOh Mica I have been meaning to write to you to ask about OP SHOPS, the ones you always mention. Would these be the same as consignment shops? Is OP for opportunity?
Oh no, very different from consignment stores. We don't have many consignment stores. Opshops are charity shops or second hand shops or thrift shops, where people donate things they no longer want and they are sold to raise money for the charity. They are opportunity shops as they give people work experience, raise funds for charity, and help those with a budget buy things.
DeleteI love stripes, so I love both of those dresses :)
ReplyDeleteAww, I really like your short hair curled! :) I love a striped tee dress, especially one with a little something different, like the sleeves in your first pic! Very cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your kind comments about my attempt to curl my hair! :)
