Yellow, Aqua and Navy: Dresses and Leather Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

Two incredibly similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link Up! Printed navy dresses, yellow scarves, leather jackets, leggings and Converse with my Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC bag.

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Scarf: Fashion Scarf Girl plain crinkle scarf in mustard
Dress: Atmos&Here navy stripe tee dress with leggings
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Wore this for a fun Monday! After the school run I headed out to the local opshops with my youngest boy. Since I'd noticed the big one near us had reopened (it was one of the last to reopen after the virus restrictions) I was eager to go check it out, and a cold Monday sounded like the perfect opportunity. It is the best opshop locally for books, they have a huge range and we spent a lot of time picking our favourites to take home. Hubby and I had an appointment later that day and I was hoping some new books would keep the little one entertained for a bit during that! Of course I picked a few interesting looking ones up for myself too, since my neighbour started a virtual book club over Iso I've gotten back into the habit of reading and I'm always looking for new books to read!

I felt this navy striped tee dress with the black printed leather jacket was a bit dark, the mustard scarf and the aquamarine mini MAC bag were the perfect touches of colour with it to lighten it up! It warmed up much more than I expected and I ended up taking the leather jacket off for most of the day after the school drop off in the morning.

Last worn: printed leather jacket, mustard scarf, navy stripe tee dress, leggings, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC.

Other ways to wear: printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, mustard scarf with olive, navy stripe tee dress with pink, Converse and maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC with magenta kimono.

Perfect for pregnancy: navy stripe tee dress in second trimester, Converse in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in third trimester.

5 Ways to Wear Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Strap:

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Love Quotes knotted tassel linen scarf in sunshine yellow
Dress: Shein navy flower print flowy dress (c/o) with grey leggings underneath

Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC in aquamarine with python embossed leather

Why I wore it:

Again the same outfit formula with a navy dress, leather jacket, and aqua mini MAC bag and yellow scarf. I loved the colours of this outfit but it felt a little more impractical than the first outfit above. It was a very cold day, so cold that I ended up working from home after the school run with a big fluffy blanket over my legs to keep me warm. I realised when I went to go pick up my son and take him to his appointment in the afternoon that it has just resulted in a very wrinkled dress being covered up all day with a thick blanket! It is a very light dress, just viscose, so it wrinkles a bit more than I'd like sometimes.

I think if I'd have worn this on another day I would have liked it more - it was a fun colour combination, and I really liked all of the pieces together, but it was so cold jeans and a big cosy knit might have been better (and less likely to wrinkle!).

Last worn: black leather jacket, yellow tassel scarf, navy and red floral swing dress, leggings, Converse (above), Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC (above).

Other ways to wear: black leather jacket and maxi skirt, yellow tassel scarf with orange dress, floral swing dress and blazer, Converse and skinny jeans, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC and shorts.

Perfect for pregnancy: yellow tassel scarf in second trimester, Converse in third trimester, Rebecca Minkoff aqua mini MAC in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

Yellow and navy go so well together! If you're layering up a navy dress for colder weather with a leather jacket and leggings, why not add a bright yellow scarf for a pop of colour? You can try introduce another bright shade with a handbag too.
