Weekday Wear Link Up: Balenciaga Bags and Kmart Short Sleeve Tiered Jersey Midi Dress

For today's Weekday Wear Linkup I'm sharing two outfits I wore - both the Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dresses. Like I do fairly frequently despite telling myself I really shouldn't, I have bought this dress in multiple colours. I now own the dress in amber and fuchsia, and I'm tempted by the navy... with the hot spring we have been having in Brisbane a light floaty dress like this is just perfect. I kept it simple, accessorising them with some Balenciaga bags each time I wore them, although one is a little dressier of an outfit than the other.

Why I wore it:

Wore this a couple of weeks ago, just a few days from Halloween. It was a cloudy and windy yet humid day as there were storms predicted so I knew this dress would be comfortable for the school run and working from home, as it was warm despite the breeze. And with the black accessories the amber dress worked well at being kind of themed for my son's special Halloween sporting class. The kids had the chance to earn lollies doing when practicing their sporting skills which they were very excited about!

My recently purchased black New Balance sneakers were comfortable and helped this outfit stay more casual, as well as matching with the black Balenciaga part time bag and black bracelet stack. This bag was definitely overdue a wear, last worn in March! It was good to get it out again. I did try wear a black necklace with this too but couldn't find the perfect one so went with my simple silver Tiffany heart in the end.

Thankfully the rain held off in the evening while we found our way to class after I managed to get us lost on the wrong side of town after picking up dinner first, but we made it there just on time. While the rain started during the class we didn't get too wet afterwards as I'd remembered to bring umbrellas!

Why I wore it:

This dress was an impulse buy! When bike shopping for Christmas I'd seen this dress at Kmart and decided if I found the bike I'd treat myself, having some money left over from Christmas. Was so pleased to have found the bike and I felt the dress was a good reward, we had been looking a while with the shortage in Australia! Decided to wear it out a few days later to a kids birthday party. Although interestingly it also rained on the way back to the car on this day too as a storm blew in just before the end of the party! Storm season is truly underway.

Wore my strappy studded sandals and my pretty marble statement necklace to try dress this up a little for the party. The white howlite beads on this bracelet matched the white marble on the necklace well too!

As soon as I'd seen this dress I knew I wanted to wear this little turquoise Balenciaga first bag with it - it really pops against the fuchsia! One of my fave outfits.


How You Can Wear It:

A bright, block colour midi dress is so easy to dress up or down. You can try pretty sandals or heels for dressing it up, or a casual pair of sneakers on a more relaxed day.

  1. I think you made an excellent decision to buy that dress in 2 colors. The fuschia is my favorite. I think turqouise looks great with it - you're right it pops! When it's hot and humid this is the perfect type of dress to wear! Thanks for the link up!

  6. This dress screams comfort while totally looking put together. I can see why you bought it in a few different colors. I love how the fuchsia just pops and it makes me wish for summer to come back. LOL. I also loved how simple the heart necklace you choose looked with the other version.

    Have a great week ahead.

  9. I always buy pieces I really love in multiples and this is a really lovely dress (in some really lovely colours) so I'm not surprised you purchased more than one ... and may get another colour or two.

  15. I think it makes perfect sense that you want to buy this dress in multiple colours because it suits you so well. I like the mustard yellow one and how you paired it with black sneakers and bag. The second styling with the pink midi dress is just as lovely. Thank you for sharing.

  18. That floaty layered dress looks just perfect to combat the hot spring, and as you so clearly demonstrate, it can be dressed up as well as done. I thought Halloween when I saw your first outfit even before you mentioned it :-) My favourite though is your second outfit. The dress is such a lovely colour and I'm loving the pop of turquoise against the fuchsia! xxx

  44. Really nice styling Mia!

    I like to see that you kept this options very simple, but interesting. They are all about bold colors (that orange and that pink are so powerful that they just need the perfect accessories and you're done!).

    Those Balenciaga bags are perfect pieces... there's nothing wrong with having them in two different colors, if you're using them go and style them as much as you can ;)

  45. I LOVE the dress - couldn't decide which was my favorite. I think buying it in various colors is great. I've done that several times. I have such a hard time finding something that I really like, fits well and ticks all the boxes - the easy solution is buy more than one. Hope you're having a good week.
