Weekday Wear Linkup! Blue Wrap Dresses, Navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan Bag

No April fools here! Just my go-to work outfit formula when I'm feeling uninspired (a printed dress) and another Weekday Wear Linkup at the end of the post!

What I wore:

Target Dannii Minogue Petites printed faux wrap dress black blazer regan tote | awayfromblue

llama bag charm, Rebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon | awayfromtheblue

awayfromtheblue Instagram geometric print faux wrap dress jersey blazer rebecca minkoff regan bag
Earrings: Kmart navy tassel earrings
Jacketthrifted Zara black blazer
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Dress: Target Dannii Minogue Petites printed faux wrap dress
ShoesWalnut Melbourne 'Ava' black lizard ballet flats (also available in silver)
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

Because I wasn't feeling very inspired when thinking up what to wear, I went with this simple faux wrap dress, navy earrings to match the navy bag and black ballet flats to match the blazer. Nice and simple.

A slightly chiller morning with some rain, so I wore my blazer for my commute to work. I usually have a blazer or cardigan with me to battle the cold aircon at work! This faux wrap dress is sleeveless so the blazer was appreciated, especially as it started raining while I took pics. I usually stay away from faux wraps being petite, but this is from the Target Danni Minogue petites's range so hits at the perfect spot!

The necklace was a last minute addition and something I think didn't work that well with the dress - a different length of necklace would have been better.


Last worn: navy tassel earrings, black blazer, silver circle necklace, geometric print faux wrap dress, black ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag.

Other ways to wearblack blazer and jeans, geometric print faux wrap dress and trench coat, black ballet flats and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag and navy blouse.

Perfect for pregnancyblack blazer in third trimester, geometric print faux wrap dress in second trimester, black ballet flats in third trimester.


What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Regan

BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

I had a cardigan in my bag to wear over this short sleeved dress in the office too, but as it was a warmer autumn morning I didn't need it to keep me warm while taking photos.

It's not the first time I've worn this wrap dress with the Regan bag and the camel ballet flats - as I pointed out on Instagram, if a combination works, why change it? I like trying something different when I rewear things, even if it's just changing an accessory, but I'll happily completely copy things I've worn before. Even if I did slightly change the outfit this time by picking a different necklace!


Last worn: silver initial necklace, watercolour print wrap dress, camel flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan bag (above).

  10. You look great in both of these wrap dresses! Interesting, the Danni Minogue for Target line must be an Aussie exclusive. I don't think we had that here in the states!

  16. Both of these wrap dresses look amazing on you. I love how the first dress looks paired with a navy jacket and bag. I actually love that necklace with that dress, but I can see why you might prefer a shorter one. I really like the pattern on the second dress. It looks wonderful on you.

  21. Both of these looks are great. I like the first one in particular. And nice that it is cool enough now to wear a blazer. And oh boy the aircon at work. Every place I have ever worked it has always been a battle between people who are hot or cold. Ugh. I worked places where people turned the heat on in the office during a heat wave b/c they said the AC was making them cold. And people who turn fans on during the polar vortex b/c they say the heat is making them too hot. First world problems for sure lol

  44. I love that navy dress. It's such a beautiful colour and print on you. I also love Danni M's range at Target. One of my best ever buys was a denim jacket. It's such a great cut and fit. I always get people asking me where I got it from!

  49. I actually forgot about April Fool's until I started seeing jokes on Instagram so the first one was a fun reminder.

    I like both ways you styled wrap dresses, but the second look is my favorite. I really like the combination of colors.
