Today's Weekday Wear Linkup is two dress, leggings and ankle boots outfits with some new scarves I bought last month. The scarves were my only June fashion purchases!
What I wore:
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl colourful print scarf in green (new purchase)
Dress: Asos grey skater dress with leggings underneath
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff emerald green mini 5-zip rocker bag
Why I wore it:
Was quite a busy day when I wore this! We had the school run to do, errands to run and a sneaky opshop visit and then out to the gym in the evening - for my son, not me! - as sports lessons have started back up again. I worried this cardigan was a bit warm through the day, just like last time I wore it, but I was so thankful for it in the evening. The parents observing the class had to step outside the hall to meet the COVID safe limits for the group inside for the entire session, and it was a very cold winter evening! I was really glad I had layered up!Couldn't resist going a little-matchy matchy with this green scarf and my green Rebecca Minkoff mini 5-zip bag. I thought the green accessories were a nice burst of colour with the neutral grey skater dress, black cardigan, leggings and ankle boots.
Last worn: black cardigan, grey skater dress, leggings, black ankle boots, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag. First time I've worn the scarf on the blog as it's a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: black cardigan and band tee, grey skater dress worn 2 ways, black ankle boots worn 30 ways, Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip bag and duster kimono.
Perfect for pregnancy: black wrap cardigan and hidden second trimester bump, grey skater dress in second trimester, black ankle boots in second trimester.
Ways To Wear Colourful Bags:
What I wore:
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl lush forest scarf (new purchase)
Dress: All About Eve striped black tee dress with leggings underneath
Shoes: RMK Chester black ankle boots
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAB tote in plum (on sale!)
Why I wore it:
Again I matched my handbag to my scarf here! I decided to pull out some of the pretty purple detail in the scarf with my Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAB tote bag. I thought that the denim jacket matched the blue in the scarf really nicely too!This striped tee dress is a great one for summer but it works well in winter too, layered up with the denim jacket, leggings and ankle boots for another busy day. School drop off and pickup, working from home (with a long zoom meeting) and going to the vets to pick up more food for Cooper.
After a bit of a scare on the weekend and an overnight stay at the vests, Cooper needed some speciality vet food and we'd bought one of every brand suggested to find one he liked. Since he loved the first one but not the second I had to do a quick stop at the vets on the way home from school drop off to pick up more of that first kind. And then back home to give him his food and medication and then log on to work. Thankfully he's doing much better now, gave us all quite a scare!
Last worn: moto denim jacket, striped tee dress, leggings (above), ankle boots (above), Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag. First time I've worn the scarf as it's a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: moto denim jacket and maxi dress, striped tee dress in summer, ankle boots and little black dress, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag worn 30 ways.
Perfect for pregnancy: ankle boots in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff plum mini MAB tote bag in third trimester.
How You Can Wear It:
Summer dresses can work in winter with a few extra layers. Scarves, leggings and ankle boots can add a bit more warmth, and a fun printed scarf can add a lot of colour too. You can try matching the scarf to your bag for even more colour!

I do like to splurge on accessories, haha!
DeleteThose scarves were good investments - I love they can just make an outfit and add really nice flashes of colour.
ReplyDeleteCourtney ~ Sartorial Sidelines
Yes, and they were just $10 each! Bargains!
DeleteGreat outfit options. I really need to add a stripped dress to my wardrobe as I think it's a staple and looks great everytime. I especially like that purple purse. I am glad to hear your pet is doing better, dog or cat?

Thank you. He's a dog, our little rescue pup Cooper :)

Your scarves are super cute! I tend not to wear scarves too often, because I get too hot, but they're an adorable accessory.
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect for adding colour in winter! :)
DeleteSuch beautiful pops of color, especially loving that purple bag <3

Oh my goodness! That first scarf is SO BEAUTIFUL. I haven't seen one quite like it before. It really is a gorgeous piece. I love both looks so much. The denim jacket in the second outfit is fabulous as well. Have a fantastic week!
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.

Thanks for watching!
DeleteI'm glad Cooper is doing better! Both of these looks are so pretty--I love both of those scarves! That second look with the printed scarf is perfection, I love the color of the bag mixed with the scarf too.
ReplyDeleteYes I'm glad he's better, gave us quite a scare!
DeleteHi Mica, hope you're doing good!
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits are really cool since you added layering, I imagine this is very usual if you're in winter in Australia, very clever!
I also liked that you added a pop of color in the accessories!
Stay safe!

I love a bit of matchy-matchy!
DeleteI really like the matchiness of your bags and scarves. I'm glad you found the right food for your dog!
ReplyDeleteGotta love matchy-matchy! And yes, he's a picky little dog, haha! Lucky he's cute ;)
DeleteBoth of these outfits are masterfully colour-mixed, Mica! I love the pattern of the scarf in the first outfit, and how well it goes with the bag, and the colours in the second outfit just sing. All those blues and purples are so harmonious!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link-up! I hope you have a wonderful week.
Thanks Sheila! I find it so easy to add more colour with scarves, it's a shame I can't wear them more often with the heat here!
DeleteLove these scarves and how you combined them. Beautiful outfits!
ReplyDeletejointyicroissanty

Printed scarfs are just perfect to add a pop of colour to an otherwise fairly neutral outfit. I'm loving both of your choices, but the green one with its funky print is my favourite! Wishing you a great week ahead, Mica! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove how you use your envy-worthy colorful bags and scarves to dress up a basic outfit! Thanks for the link up and hope you have a good week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little bag! I would love a green bag in my handbag collection xo
ReplyDeleteMakeup Muddle
The scarves are super cute:) And love how you did the layering in both outfits. I think the tee dress is such a great staple and I want to sew one now:D
ReplyDeletePS Great to hear Cooper is doing much better.
Have a great start to the week and stay safe:)
Thank you, we are so glad he is feeling better!
DeleteA colorfully patterned scarf is such a stylish and fun way to jazz up any outfit and the styling combinations you came up with here are so effortless and foolproof.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteBoth looks are spot on for late fall early winter. And I hope Cooper is feeling OK and getting better.
ReplyDeleteAh very inspiring and helpful, thanks for posting :)

I love the stripe dress with the plum bag, that outfit looks like such a go-to staple that I'd throw on for day to day errands. The scarf adds a really nice touch too. Perfect for a slight chill before it gets really cold x

Both outfits are so cute and I love scarfs and yours are no expectation, but I just don't like wearing them lol, I wish I did but I don't like when things touch my neck. lol. Both great looks and you look beautiful in both.
ReplyDeletelove is zero
Yes!! Scarves are such a great accessory, and I often forget how much I used to love them! Might have to have a good rummage through the wardrobe to find some of my old faves. Great post as always!

Love your colorful scarfs. You really know how to style them :)
ReplyDeletewww.fashionradi.com
The first outfit is so pretty. I love that Fashion Scarf in green and blue. The pattern is very pretty. Printed scarves are always a nice pop of colour. I'm a fan of scarves myself, I can never get enough of them, they are so practical and can be worn in a variety of ways. The grey skater dress in the first look is so cute with that emerald green RM dress and and printed scarf. I have a few skater dresses and I wear them often, they are so practical. The second outfit is very chic and stylish too. I like that scarf just as much! You look great in both combinations. Have a nice day.
ReplyDelete
DeleteI really need to wear this skater dress more often! I'm surprised it's not at 30 wears yet! It is very versatile.
Love a scarf, yours would look super in my collection! Have a super rest-of-the-week Jacqui x
ReplyDeleteI like scarfs too so I understand :) Both outfits are amazing, so colorful and you look awesome wearing both of them
ReplyDeleteTime with my family was awesome, even if I had sleepless nights :-)
Love both of these layered looks, Mica. The scarves are beautiful and they add the perfect pop of colour to the oufits!

I love how you styled your scarves. That reminded me that it's been a while since I wore my scarves and when the weather cools down a bit, I'll definitely have to pull them out again.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the vet visit worked out. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
