Colourful Spring Denim Outfits With White Kimonos and Navy Rebecca Minkoff Regan Bag

For today's Weekday Wear Link up, two colourful spring outfits with denim and kimonos - a frequently worn outfit combination of mine, especially in the warm weather as it's spring right now in Brisbane. However I didn't love both of these outfits equally.


What I wore:

NecklaceRoie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Cami: Jeanswest Audrey tonal print tank
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

I really liked the idea of this outfit when I planned it out in my head. The Rebecca Minkoff navy Regan bag is something I've frequently worn with these green jeans in the past, I like the two together. I thought this printed cami would be a fun addition, a top I hadn't worn in a while. And the white crochet detail kimono was a nice neutral block colour topper over all the print and colour.

We took advantage of the public holiday and headed out on another walk with the kids, through the mangrove boardwalk along the bay. It was a little breezy at home so I anticipated it being quite cool and windy walking along the shoreline, like previous visits, so I wore the jeans instead of shorts. This was a mistake and I was SO hot, there was oddly no breeze coming off the water and I really wished I hadn't worn jeans! Not the best outfit for the day, despite having liked it so much in the morning.

BagRebecca Minkoff Regan Satchel Tote in moon

Why I wore it:

In contrast to the outfit above, I did wonder a few times if I should have worn jeans instead of shorts! Spent the day with the kids and my mum at the beach, enjoying the sunshine although it was a bit windy and cool in the shade. Was so nice sitting on the sand in the sun though. Even Cooper went in for a paddle into the water and he's not normally a fan of getting wet!

As we didn't have a plan for the day in the morning I'd just picked something comfortable and colourful, with this marigold tee and digital print kimono. I was eager to wear this fun statement necklace again too, it's so light and easy to wear. I did like the black shorts to match the black print on the kimono too, even if I wished they were jeans a couple of times when I got cold! My Rebecca Minkoff navy Regan bag was great for carrying everything the boys and I needed, although it did end up a little full of sand at the end of the day!


How You Can Wear It:

Kimonos and denim is a style staple in spring! You can add some colour to an outfit with a bright tee, colourful jeans or a brightly patterned kimono itself.

  1. What wonderful spring outfits. I love the green jeans paired with a printed top and a white kimono. Your RM bag is very chic as well. Such a lovely outfit! The photos are so sunny and pretty too.
    Your second outfit with shorts is very stylish and cute as well. That yellow tee is a lovely pop of colour and the kimono is fantastic.

  2. Mica, you are so adorable! I am loving your kimonos here. White ones are so great in the warmer months because they offer sun protection without making you too warm and they just look great! Your green pants are so fun, too! I hope you are well, my friend!

  6. It looks so nice and sunny there - it's great that you were able to get out and enjoy the weather (even if you maybe picked the wrong outfit for the temperature one day).

  7. Both of these looks are gorgeous. I really love those green jeans and the charm on your purse. So cute! I also adore the necklace in the second look. You have such a knack for putting together different pieces and making it look stylish and cohesive!

  8. Two cute kimono outfits, they will be great all season long! They look like perfect choices for the plans of the day, but early spring weather is so full of surprises. The beach coastline behind you looks so inviting-envying your sunshine and spring weather as we head into fall with fog and cold drizzle! Have a good week and thanks for the link up!

  12. I really do like that first outfit even if you were hot! I do that often in the fall when it is cooler in the morning and I really want to wear a particular outfit. Then I end up having to change.

  14. Hey Mica, hope you had a nice weekend and thanks for your latest comments on my blog, really appreciate that you took the time to share your experiences with me.

    Ahhh yes, you're welcoming Spring over Australia, enjoy the warm days! I'd say both outfits are perfect since you can always cover yourself with the kimono in case of a chill afternoon! I liked that you added a lot of clean and light layers in both outfits, something difficult to do when it comes to spring-summer looks, but these two options works really well and make your outfits really interesting.

    PS: that little llama keychain is a great detail! extra points for that :)

  19. That is kind of funny, that your outfits would have been perfect...on opposite days! The second outfit is my favourite - that marigold yellow is amazing on you, and I love it with the printed kimono. The first outfit - I'm not a fan of the blousy cami. It feels too full/voluminous with the kimono.

    I'm picturing little Cooper jumping in the water! Ha! I hope you had a fantastic weekend, my dear friend! Thank you so much for hosting the link-up.

  27. So funny that you wished you'd worn shorts on the day you wore jeans and vice versa! But Spring, like Autumn, isn't the easiest season to get it right, as it often turns out to be warmer, or cooler, than forecasted! My favourite of the two is your second outfit. That marigold tee is such an amazing colour and both your kimono and shorts are perfect with it! xxx
