What I wore:
Necklace: Ruby Olive Art series long striped pod necklaceTee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Dress: Kmart Aztec print tiered little black dress
Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff Georgina studded gladiator sandals in blush
Bracelets: the usual plus mixed metal bracelet stack
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
I wore this a little bit too late for Halloween! But I did like the black and orange combo. This v-neck tee is a recent purchase from the Jeanswest sale. I picked it up as I loved the orange, and went to try it on. Then it looked so mustard in the change room. I asked the SA as I was buying it, it's definitely not mustard right?! ha! I do love mustard but I already have a mustard tee.Like you do with a new purchase, I wanted to wear this shortly after I bought it and realised it would be a great pop of colour with this little black tiered sundress. With the nude studded gladiator sandals and the grey Rebecca Minkoff love bag, I wanted to add a little more colour to the outfit and this Ruby Olive necklace was perfect! It was a Christmas gift from my bestie last year.
I liked the slight extra warmth this tee gave layered over the sundress for church too - always so cold in church with the aircon!
Last worn: black Aztec print dress, statement necklace, studded gladiator sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag. First time I've worn the tee as it was a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: black Aztec print dress and denim jacket, studded gladiator sandals worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag and jeans.
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff Love bag in second trimester.
30 Ways To Wear: Rebecca Minkoff Love Cross Body Bag
What I wore:
Tee: Spectrum basic v-neck tee in grey marl
Dress: Kmart strappy tiered sundress in watercolour blue and blush print
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
Another outfit I wore to church, another tee knotted over a sundress! Unlike the first outfit, I let the dress be the colour with the blue and pink print and went with a neutral grey tee to match the Rebecca Minkoff Love bag. Picked the black ankle boots as I wore this a few weeks before the first outfit, where I wanted a little extra warmth for the cooler spring morning. It turned into a beautifully warm day by the afternoon though.This grey tee is such a wardrobe staple - I have a 30 ways to wear post coming up with it soon because I've finally achieved over 30 wears with it. It was one of the pieces I searched through my blog archives for first when I heard about the 30 wears challenge, so sure that I'd have already hit 30 wears with it! I have finally got over 30 wears with it now, and I've been putting a 30 wears post together every month for almost 2 years, haha!
I knotted this tee to the side but I preferred the way I knotted the tee in the first outfit, making the knot more of a statement.
Last worn: grey v-neck tee, blush and blue sundress, beaded necklace, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff love bag (above).
Other ways to wear: grey v-neck tee and maxi skirt, blush and blue sundress and pink bag, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff love bag worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: grey v-neck tee in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff love bag in third trimester.
V-Neck Tees Under $50:
How You Can Wear It
A v-neck tee is a wardrobe staple and pairs so nicely with denim - jeans or shorts! For something a little different and for a cooler spring or autumn day, try layering a tee over one of your fave summer dresses to create a whole new look!What I Bought In November:
I'd usually do an extra post for this with a video but I've been a bit unwell this month and lost my voice for over a week so I'm just adding a little note onto this post. I also only bought three things:
- Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
- Jeanswest Eliza summer poncho in yellow floral
- thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
I used up the last of my Christmas gift cards in the Jeanswest 40% off sale to pickup some colourful pieces for summer, and as I was hunting the opshops for books for our Christmas book advent calendar I couldn't resist this cute necklace for just $3!
Here's how I've worn it all:
Linking up with Fancy Friday, WIWS, On Mondays We Link Up.
You look great. I LIKE YOUR SKIRT AND YOUR NECKPIECE.

I have the same bag in tan from Rebecca Minkoff. It's one of my faves. Love that tiered skirt in the first look especially!

Thanks, it's a dress :) And it's a great bag! :)
DeleteI love the look of a knotted tee over a dress--it's just such a fun way to make a dress feel a little more laid back. That first look is so fun and colorful, I love the addition of the necklace! And that second look is perfection too, I love it all.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your statement necklace with that yellow shirt!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to layer a tee over a sundress. I don't know why I never think to do that in the summer. And I LOVE your RM sandals! A perfect neutral to go with anything!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun way to change up the look of a dress! :)
DeleteThe top over the dress is a very cute look.
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits are fabulous! I really love the colour of that first top. It is so flattering and makes everything else pop in the best possible way.
ReplyDeletethe-creationofbeauty.blogspot.com
These are both such pretty looks. Love how you tied knots on your tops!

The same thing happened to me, Target stopped selling a sandal that was SUPER comfortable to walk in. They made a similar style but they just weren't the same.
ReplyDeleteI really love that first one, the print is so fun!

It's so sad when a favourite is discontinued! :(
DeleteLove these combinations and colors! You look wonderful in both outfits!
ReplyDeletejointyicroissanty
Simple and cool idea a knotted tee! You're always so stylish Mica!

Another great idea to make the most out of your sundresses. That first outfit is my favourite, as I love that bright pop of orange and that gorgeous necklace. Hope you are feeling better and have got your voice back in the meantime! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do have my voice back now thankfully!
DeleteThat is a shame they did not bring back those dresses. I love doing a knotted tee such a fun way to make a basic tee look less dumpy if that makes sense which is how they look some times worn with flowing skirts. Both combinations are great. Ooo you got a lot this month. I am on a shopping ban.

Hope you manage to stick to your shopping ban! It's hard near Christmas with so many sales, haha!
DeleteI do like how you knot your t-shirts to make them cropped. Such a clever trick and it looks great worn with dresses. I love both sundresses you wore and the tees you paired them with. The combo or an orange tee and a darker printed sundress works really well in the first look. I also like your bag. The second outfit with a more neutral colour palette is very pretty and stylish as well. You look great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks I don't know hwy I don't knot them more often - it's a nice way to change them up a little!
DeleteThat's such a great idea to layer your tees over the dresses like this Mica. I love them both.
ReplyDeleteXOOX

I love both looks❤
ReplyDeleteNice outfits and you are so stylish! Love your bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the knotted shirts over the dress:) So cute, and you look adorable in both outfits. And that's amazing how the grey shirt have gotten so much wear ! Can't wait to see that post, Mica!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day:)
I've posted it! I am glad I got to hit that figure eventually, it's definitely my fave grey tee!
DeleteThese are both adorable looks on you - you look great in a short full skirt, Mica! I love the marigold colour, and agree that the knot in front is a better statement. Have a wonderful week, my dear!
ReplyDeleteKnotting the shirts are very flattering over the dress! It's a nice way to switch it up!
ReplyDeleteI love them both! I really love the skirt and I wish it was warmer out here so that I can wear an outfit like that! Enjoy your week!

That's such a cute idea to wear tshirts knotted over a dress :) You look very pretty in both outfits!
ReplyDeleteKnotting a T-shirt is a great way of transforming a simple piece into something more interesting; such a great idea Mica! :) I hope you're having a lovely week so far....

You are so right, the orange and black combo is perfect for halloween. The necklace goes really well with the outfit too. I hope you're having a lovely week and enjoyed the Christmas get together with your friends :)
ReplyDeleteSarah xo Oomph London
Thanks, I really did! :)
DeleteI think knotting a tshirt on top is a great way to get more use out of a dress. Not only does it add warmth, but it also makes it look completely different.
ReplyDeleteYes such a simple change that makes a difference!
DeleteLove your outfit!

I'd love to buy more but it's a shame they don't make them any more :(
DeleteLots of gorgeous outfits, what a super bag too :)) Happy weekend x
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you've been unwell and I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI also really like both outfits, although I prefer the first one just because it's more striking :) I don't layer a tee over a dress very often, but looking at your outfits, I can see that it's definitely something I should do more.

Thank you, I'm feeling much better!
DeleteYou look so pretty in both of the outfits and the pretty handbag! Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese looks are so cute! You're my inspiration to try out a knotted tee! I just keep cropping them instead. :D
ReplyDeletehaha if I was confident in any kind of sewing or alterations I might give it a go, until then I just tuck or knot, haha!
DeleteI love how the tees look knotted over the dresses! It's a great way to make a dress look like a skirt. And the yellow poncho that you bought is beautiful! I hope you feel better soon.
