Blue & Teal Outfits: Floral Dresses and Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm wearing two blue floral dresses for the office and accessorising them with blue bags for a simple navy and teal outfit, that looks different each time.

What I wore:

Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: Lovisa mixed texture beaded necklace
DressShein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o)
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs metallic mouse flats
BagBalenciaga first bag in 2006 Blue India

Why I wore it:

Wore this for my last official day in my old team before moving onto a new role! I'm so excited to start the new year off with a new job, even if I am just on the other side of the building from my old team.

Despite the rain it was quite a warm day so this simple navy swing dress was perfect for the office and the commute. I kept the accessories simple with the gold spiral drop earrings, beaded necklace and gold mouse flats. I love a bit of matchy matchy! Thought that this teal-ish turquoise-y Balenciaga first bag would be a nice touch with the navy dress, I really liked this combination and I like that this bag seems a slightly different shade in different lights sometimes! it's hard to tell if it's more turquoise or teal!


Last worn: gold earrings, navy swing dress, beaded necklace, gold mouse flats, Balenciaga blue India first bag.

Balenciaga Bags Vs Rebecca Minkoff Bags:







What I wore:

Kmart teal floral print midi dress in the office with grey blazer, silver ballet flats, navy Regan tote | away from blue

JacketJeanswest grey jersey blazer
Necklace: Tiffany & Co silver 5th Avenue notes heart pendant necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
ShoesMarc by Marc Jacobs silver tuxedo flats
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

The same outfit formula as the one above, just a little changed around and an extra layer added. This time it's a teal floral dress and a navy bag. I've worn a different Rebecca Minkoff navy bag with this teal floral midi dress before, I like the colour combo. I thought this Rebecca Minkoff Regan satchel went so nicely with the dress, and with the grey blazer it made it a little more formal for the office.

I'd planned to wear this outfit the week before but the wild weather changed my mind. While it was still raining on this day, it wasn't as bad (and I could actually take blog photos on the patio without the rain blowing in). The blazer wasn't needed for warmth as it was still quite humid even with all the rain.


Last worn: grey blazer, Tiffany heart necklace, teal floral midi dress, silver ballet flats, Rebecca Minkoff Regan tote.

Other ways to weargrey blazer and a-line skirt, teal floral midi dress worn two ways, silver ballet flats and pencil skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Regan tote and skinny jeans.

How You Can Wear It:

A floral dress is a fun and easy outfit for the office. It looks great worn on its own or you can make it a little more formal with a blazer on top too. Picking a handbag in a different shade of blue is a great way to accessorise too.

  17. Mica, these dresses are both to beautiful! Cannot pick a favorite! Gorgeous colors and love the blazer as well. Such great looks!

    Hope you're having a good week. Waiting on a snowstorm to hit, late this evening into tomorrow. Maybe the kids will have a snow day tomorrow. They are hoping for it :-) The weather has been milder this winter, so I think it would be their first.

  24. I'm loving both of your outfits equally here, Mica, there's no way I could choose a favourite. The first dress is fabulous, I do love the flower motifs near the hem and on the sleeves. Your second dress is one I've admired before, it's such a great piece. I love the colour and print and its midi length. And the grey blazer is just perfect with it. Wishing you a great week ahead, Mica xxx

  25. This is the kind of dress I will wear during summer. So pretty and freeing.

  26. That first dress is a Jammy Dress, for sure! I love it (does it have pockets?). Your second dress is a close runner-up - it looks fabulous with the pale grey jacket and shoes.

    Have a great week, Mica!

  28. Both of these dresses are fabulous and you wear them so well. The first one looks fantastic accessorized with a long necklace and a chic bag. You know that first look is giving me art deco vibes.
    The second dress looks lovely paired with a blazer. Fantastic outfits, both of them.

  29. Dresses are such a great option since they're a complete outfit in one. And there's nothing more feminine than a floral motif.

  54. Very cute dresses, my friend. I especially like the print in the first one. And the way your necklace hangs perfectly with the print. I usually wind up lassoing one breast with my long necklaces. My 'girls' get it in the way of fashion!!

    Would love to see where you keep your bags. Have you ever done a post like that? Might be fun!

  56. I like the teal dress a lot. I missed how you injured your knee? I hope it is better soon. I still can't believe you have Kmarts there. I guess with the rain the fires are done? I don't watch or listen to the news-- only what snippets I see on Facebook.... Is coronavirus anywhere near you and how are people feeling about it its threat?.....
