Denim Jacket And Striped Maxi Skirts With Grey Tees and Rebecca Minkoff MAB Camera Bag

I blame jet lag after returning home to Brisbane for these two outfits looking incredibly similar! 😂 You know I love my outfit formulas - denim jacket, a grey tee and a striped maxi skirt was such an easy option. I do try to make my outfits look a little different when I repeat something again a few days later, but in my jet lagged haze and rush to get out the door I ended up grabbing the same denim jacket both times instead of a different one each time. Oh well! At least the necklaces, skirts and shades of grey in the tees are different!

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a day with the boys, trying to get back into our usual routines after returning from Europe! We went to the playground and the library and did a little bit of grocery shopping. I needed a nice easy outfit, so a simple grey tee and striped maxi skirt seemed the best fuss-free way to dress. The splits up the side of this maxi skirt mean it doesn't get worn much in winter, but when I wore this back at the start of the month it was a milder day. It felt really warm compared to the cold temps we'd experienced on the other side of the world too! 😂

This Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag was overdue a wear - I'd considered taking it overseas with me so that I could wear it to the wedding, but I went with the little silver mini MAC in the end. I was glad I'd taken the mini MAC, but still wanted to wear this camera bag when I got home.


Last worn: grey tee, tassel necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff MAB camera bag. First time I've worn the denim jacket as it's a recent purchase.

Why I wore it:

Another day with the kids, another easy outfit, with a different grey tee and striped maxi skirt, but again the same outfit formula, with the same denim jacket, shoes and Rebecca Minkoff bag. I actually ended up taking the denim jacket off in the morning - it was such a nice day and we spent it at a park in the bayside, soaking up the sun.

This black striped maxi skirt is one that hasn't been worn in a while. A pregnancy purchase when I was pregnant with my eldest boy, it's a piece I've already hit 30 wears on. When I'm thinking of things to wear I usually pass over this skirt for another one that hasn't hit 30 wears yet, but on this day I wanted to go back to an old favourite!

How You Can Wear It:

A striped maxi skirt is an easy wardrobe staple for stay at home mum days, and can be paired with the ever classic grey tee so you don't have to worry about prints clashing. For cooler days, you can add a denim jacket on top.

  13. A maxi skirt just makes the rest of the outfit look fancier - love both of these, Mica! That is a really pretty bag, great colour.

  14. I like the cut of that denim jacket, it reminds me of an aviator jacket. Great way to mix two classics. I see nothing wrong with wearing a same jacket with a similar outfit formula, especially if the jacket is as cute as that denim one. Lovely maxi skirts and top...both outfits are fab. You look pretty and girly!

  15. I think it is an advantage if one can rely on an well-working outfit formula - especially when the outfits are as beautiful as the two you show here!

  28. I'm a big fan of an outfit formula, too! I have a similar navy stripy skirt from Kmart that I wear to death in spring and autumn. So good to throw on when the weather's sliiiightly cooling down a bit. I think you did well to get as much done as you did with post-European jet lag!

  29. I love your outfit formulas,Mica! It makes getting dressed that much easier when you don't have the time and or energy to put a new look together! ;) These are both such stylish looks too: I especially love your denim jacket! It would look great with everything! XXX

  30. I think the denim jacket looks great in both looks. I love how you wore your maxi skirts with it.

    It's wonderful that you're getting back into a routine.

  31. It's so good that you've created a "uniform" of sorts for yourself, and that it looks so pulled-together! My "uniform" is just jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers! :D

  32. I love this outfit formula of the denim jacket and maxi skirt! It's a great combination!

  34. I love the fact that you always accessorize, even if its just a small detail, like here with both necklaces... it makes all the difference.
