Navy Printed Culotte Shorts and Tees: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up I'm sharing two very similar shorts and tee outfits, with v-neck tees and navy printed culotte shorts. And I'm wearing some of the new things I got for Christmas too!

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold and turquoise disc dangle earring
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Wore this for the first day of the new year - we took the kids out for a bike ride along a local cycle path, and headed out to the shops afterwards to pickup some groceries and meet my parents who happened to be at the same shopping centre that day.

I dressed colourfully but comfortably for the heat, and I really wanted to wear a lot of new pieces I got for Christmas! The cute blue Converse All Star, turquoise and gold earrings, pink tee and small periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag were all Christmas gifts. They all work so well together in this outfit too! it's a lot of different shades of blue, especially with the navy printed culotte shorts and the blue beaded necklace, but I think that they all work well together. The Paraty bag matches the pastel blue in the print of the shorts so well too! The pink tee is a slightly different shade but I think it pairs nicely with the pastel pink on the printed culottes as well.

This was a really nice outfit to kick off the first day of the new year in, and it was good to enjoy some sunshine as it has been a bit cloudy and wet most days of the school holidays!


Last worn: blue beaded necklace, navy printed culottes, Chloe Paraty bag. First time I've worn the earrings, pink tee and Converse shoes as they are Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: navy printed culottes and cardigan, Chloe Paraty and maxi dress.

Reveal: The Bag I Got For Christmas 

---

What I wore:

Scarf: Kmart mustard hair scarf
Necklace: Tiffany diamonds by the yard necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black (new purchase)
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Another simple shorts and tee outfit, again with navy printed culotte shorts, for a couple days after Christmas to take the kids out along a bike trail to test out the bikes they got for Christmas. These shorts were a present from my mum and I knew they would go so well with the tee I picked up at the outlets just before Christmas. The striped culottes are a linen blend, so super comfortable, and they have pockets! It's the first time I'm sharing them here on the blog but I have been wearing them on frequent repeat lately! I've really been embracing the soft shorts this winter, my denim ones haven't had a lot of wear.

The white stripes, white tee and white Adidas Superstar were a bit matchy-matchy, and the Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag, although not the same shade as the navy shorts, complimented them nicely. The mustard hair scarf, also a Christmas present from my mum, was a nice way to add a little more colour and it helped disguise a bad hair day I was having, ha!

Last worn: diamond necklace, Adidas Superstar, Chloe Paraty bag (above). First time I've worn the scarf and shorts as they were Christmas gifts and first time I've worn the tee as it was a late December purchase.

How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and a tee is a go-to summer outfit! For something a little different you can try introducing a print, like these navy printed culotte shorts. They are nice and breezy and perfect for humid summer days too!
