Weekday Wear Linkup: Floral Duster Kimonos With Colourful Skinny Jeans

Slightly cheating with today's Weekday Wear Linkup post, as I only wore one of these outfits during the week - the other I wore on a Sunday when I needed to get the boys out the house. Both incredibly similar though, and definitely the kind of thing I wear through the week for the school run. Duster kimonos just work so well with colourful jeans!

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Melanie floral kimono
Necklace: Colette marble and gold pendant drop long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here Avery marle tee in navy
JeansSass & Bide The Winning Day Lovestate jeans in magenta
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

Hubby had started doing some yard work so the back yard was off limits for the kids and instead I took them out to run around along our favourite local trail. I decided at the last minute (after I'd taken these pics) to swap to my daggy walking shoes instead of my Converse and I'm glad I did as although we took their bike and scooter we left them at the side of the trail as we headed off the track a few times, and my knee needed the extra support hiking through the bush.

I really liked all the bright colours in this outfit! I wasn't sure about the navy tee with the navy floral print duster but I wanted to give it a try - I think this marle tee was the perfect one to wear with it as it wasn't too matchy-matchy, just different enough to work with the darker navy of the kimono. I matched the necklace and jeans to the print on the kimono too, picking out the tiny pink flowers in the print to wear this marble and gold necklace with my magenta Sass and Bide skinny jeans.

The Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is my go-to bag for spending time out with the kids, fits all our water bottles and some snacks for the walk nicely!

Necklace: Lovisa blue leaf long necklace
TeeAtmos & Here white essential v-neck tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight

Why I wore it:

A very similar outfit worn a few days later! Again I picked colourful jeans, Converse, a floral duster and a blue bag. The white tee again matched the print on my kimono, the white florals this time. The olive skinny jeans didn't match and I was worried that the two greens together would be too much, but I think the olive when nicely with the green of the duster and the blue leaf necklace and micro Bedford bag broke up the green nicely. I really liked this outfit!

After the school drop off we spent some time exploring the local trails again before the school pickup in the afternoon. I'm enjoying being able to get out with the kids so much in this nice weather, although I did wish a couple of times I'd worn shorts instead of jeans as it was a really warm spring day!



How You Can Wear It:

Floral dusters are a great spring layer to add to a casual jeans and tee outfit. You can use them to add extra colour or print, or match the colours in the print to the jeans and tee you wear.

  3. Mica, I love your kimonos! Both are so beautiful. And honestly, when it comes to kimonos for me, you can style any which way and they will always look great! You seem to have a kimono collection that may rival the size of mine! I want to do some kind of kimono series! Lol. I hope you have a great week, my friend!

  8. Hello Mica
    I think you found the perfect formula, kimono and colorful jenas, I also really like wearing kimonos.
    I think now the safest thing is for you to play with your boys in the backyard !!

    1. We are lucky to have so many great parks and trails around us that I can pick the quietest ones each day for us to venture out on too - most of the time we don't even see other people! :)

  16. Love both of these very classic "You" outfits, Mica! You rock a duster! I love all the colours here - no need to match as long as the colours "go"! The second outfit is my favourite, as the two dominant colours (emerald and cobalt blue) really pop against the olive jeans.

    Thank you for the link-up - I'll be there shortly!

  18. I love both of those kimonos! I think this is the first time I’ve seen the navy floral. Gorgeous! I recently purchased 3 kimonos. I need to get to styling them.

  24. Kimonos are just magical. They can take an outfit to a whole new level. Love me some green but I have to say that first kimono is GORGY!! I saw the most beautiful burnout velvet kimono on Jess, another blogger, and I am in search of it. The kimono had a maple leaf print. So perfect for our fall. Now to find it!!!

    1. I just feel a bit safer on the trails rather than in the playgrounds at the mometn - althoguh with no cases here for over 40 days I probably shouldn't worry so much, haha!

  29. This is really becoming one of your trademark formulas, isn't it? And why now, as it's such a great look. I'm loving both of your outfits but although I was originally convinced of the first one being my favourite, there is a certain something in the second one which has made me change my mind. The colour and print of that duster is just gorgeous, and together with the cobalt blues of your bag and necklace, it provides wonderful splashes of colour against the more neutral olive of your jeans and the white of your tee! xxx
