V-Neck Tees, Printed Kimonos and Mini MAC Bags: SAHM Style

Kimonos aren't just summer pieces for me. I like to wear them in spring and autumn too! They just add an extra level of interest to an otherwise plain shorts and tee outfit. With the outfits below, I picked a kimono where the print matched the colour of the tee I was wearing. You know I like a little matchy-matchy!

What I wore:

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in washed lilac
ShortsJeanswest Sara distressed hot short
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagRebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

It's not the first time I've worn this aquamarine bag with purple, I really like the combination. It was the perfect accessory to pair with the purple v-neck tee and the purple floral kimono.

Busy morning with a few errands to run and a quick dentist appointment for toddler T before his swimming lessons. He did really well, helped I'm sure by the fact that they were playing Paw Patrol on the TV in the ceiling, he just laid back and watched the show the whole time, haha!

Why I wore it:

Another day with the kids trying to run errands meant another simple outfit was needed. When I got this coral tee home after picking it up in the sales, I knew I had to try this outfit combination with it, and wore it just a couple days after buying the tee. The bright coral colour was such a good match for the orangey reds in the print of this Kindness collective kimono! Such a winning combination paired together.

While it wasn't a very exciting day, I did love wearing this outfit and I am sure to try pairing this coral tee and the printed kimono together again soon! Such a fun bit of matchy-matchy-ness!

Stuck with silver for the accessories, with the silver pendant necklace and Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag to be a balancing neutral for all the colour and print.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and a tee is such a staple outfit. To add a little extra interest to your outfit, you can put a fun printed kimono on top. It's a nice way to change up the look of a shorts and tee outfit without much fuss. If you're unsure, you can always pick a kimono with a print that matches the colour of the tee you're wearing for an easy, cohesive look.

  6. I love the matcha-matchup concept with the kimonos, it creates a nice cohesive flow and just pairs so well! We’re planning on starting swim lessons for Aviah in May. I’m adamant ablot my kids learning how to swim, love, and trust/respect the water from early on. I’m in my early 30s andstill can’t swim too well, lol. I definitely don’t want that for them! We haven’t watched Paw Patrol yet, but all the boys in our family seem to be obsessed with it! Every time I ask what to get for birthday gifts, it’s something Paw Patrol related, lol! Anyway, thanks for sharing and have a great rest of the week!

  10. Kimonos are such versatile items, it makes sense to wear them all year around. I do like the combo of a purple kimono and the aquamarine bag in the first outfit. I also really like the second look as I think that orange top looks great paired with the earthly tone of the kimono. Plus, those denim shorts are so cool. I would totally wear both outfits myself.

  22. Dear Mica, both combinations are winners and I love the first look with the turquoise bag and the purple shirt as far as the second look with the coral shirt and the matching kimono. Yes, I know you love kimonos and I know why as you look fantastic in them. And you really must have tricks then even the dentist for toddlers is no drama :)
