Weekday Wear Link Up: Striped Tops and Printed Maxi Skirts

Two similar outfits for today's Weekday Wear Link up! Enjoying the warmer spring weather and not needing to layer my outfits, I wore simple striped tops with fun printed maxi skirts, and my cute yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.


What I wore:

red printed maxi skirt with Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold | awayfromtheblue

Necklace: thrifted pearl and heart charm long necklace
TeeCotton On "The One" fitted v tee in Cole stripe white moonlight
Skirtthrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

Decided to try do something different with this skirt and pair it with stripes - although I later realised when looking through the blog that I've done that before, with a different tee!

I really liked the combination of this striped v-neck tee with the red printed maxi skirt. While the prints are so very different I did go a little matchy-matchy with the mustard Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag to compliment the yellow in the print of the skirt. A simple necklace as I felt the print mix made enough of the statement on it's own, and this necklace goes with everything. Definitely getting good value from the $2 I spent on it at the opshop, this is its tenth wear!

Was a busy day, with the school run, a few errands to run, an appointment and sports in the evening after school pickup. Still found a little time to pop into the opshop for a browse through the Christmas stock though, and took the opportunity to get another pic in front of the pretty jacaranda lined street, even if most of the flowers are gone, especially after the storms.


Last worn: striped tee, heart charm necklace, Billabong red maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag.

BagRebecca Minkoff micro Regan satchel in Harvest Gold


Why I wore it:

I thought I'd try some stripes with this floral skirt for the first time! I really liked the combination, and it was nice and cool for a hot day. However it was a little bit of an outfit fail. While perfect for the school run and an appointment I had, once again I got attacked by the mozzies!

I had remembered to liberally apply bug spray this time, so we were ready for a walk around the water along our fave trail. However, this tank has some cute cut-out detail on the back. I did not think of that when spraying the mozzie repellant...so all my arms and legs and chest were covered, as was my son, but I didn't spray my back. Of course when we stopped for photos and sat down for a bit I realised my mistake as they latched on to the only spot I wasn't protected. Hubby was shocked at the state of my back when we got home 😂

Because it was a hot day I thought a simple skirt and tank combination was a good way to go - the side slits in this maxi skirt kept me cool even in the heat of the day. Just basic accessories too, my For King and Country coin necklace as I didn't want to wear anything too heavy or statement making, and then the little yellow Rebecca Minkoff micro Regan bag for a pop of colour.




How You Can Wear It:

Stripes are fun to print mix with! Stripes and florals are always a good pairing but you can try stripes with any other print too. If you're unsure keep the rest of the accessories simple and let the clashing prints be the statement in your outfit.

  1. Your two skirt outfits look great! Perfect for Spring temps. I’m sorry the mozzies thought your back was a buffet! And I also apologize for grabbing the wrong pic for my post. The link actually leads to a fashion post, not a quilt. If you’d like to delete the entry, please do!

  3. Too bad about the 2nd attack of the mozzies - they really love you, Mica! I think florals and stripes are always so good together. I really like the blue of the 2nd skirt. I tried a similar one from Amazon but the fit wasn't good, so back it went.
    Hope you have a great week!

  10. I really like the second look! Stripes are such a nice easy way to print mix! Mosquitoes are no fun! This year, I think I fared better because I didn't go out when they buzzed around.

  11. You nailed this combo. in both looks. Stripes seem to go with just about anything, don't they? I am so envious of your warmer vibes but not the bugs that come with that. I hate mosquitoes. Thanks for hosting.

  14. It is hard to believe that there is spring somewhere now. I love your both looks. Great combinations of prints and a yellow bag such a great addition and statement piece to your outfits.
    I am sorry to hear about those annoying bags, but I am sure you will prepare better for walk the next time you go outside.
    Have a great week, Mica!

  19. Such great looks Mica. The stripes coordinate so well with the prints on the skirts.
    I'm a bit jealous that you get to wear sleeveless tops :-) I'm here dressed in my sherpa sweatshirt looking out at frost on the lawn.

  44. Hello Mica
    I also really like this combination, stripes with print. It is not an easy styling, let's say we have to get out of our comfort zone and take a chance and you got two perfect outfits, although I like the first one most.
