White Printed Tees and Soft Shorts With Cross Body Bags: Weekday Wear Link Up

White printed tees and soft pull on shorts made easy summer outfits for the weeks before Christmas, as I wore these back in December.  Feeling the humidity shorts and a tee was the simplest choice!


What I wore:

Tee: Primark Edinburgh white graphic tee
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoesslim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagRebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 


Why I wore it:

This was a bit of a mixed day! Spent the morning working from home but had to log off early in the afternoon to take my son to an emergency appointment. Sadly it was decided during the appointment that we had no choice other than to book him in for surgery the week before Christmas. He's had a December hospital stay before as a baby and thankfully this was a shorter stay than that, but still not the best news so close to Christmas.  Luckily he recovered well and we were able to do a lot of festive activities at home, and our plan was for a quieter December anyway this year.

I really liked this outfit despite the mixed bag of the day.  The graphic print tee is one I picked up in Primark on our Europe trip back in 2019 and I thought it would go well with the floral print shorts. I've worn it with prints before, it's a good tee for that as the graphic isn't too big.

The pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody bag has been worn with these shorts before too, despite being a different shade of pink from the pastel in the print of the Kmart shorts I think they work well together.







What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart abstract blob print tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
ShoesNovo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag


Why I wore it:

Wanted to try these olive shorts with a little bit of pink and the abstract blush shapes on this printed tee was the perfect small way to wear the combination. With the lighter blue shapes in the print too I decided to try matching that with the sky grey Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC crossbody bag. I didn't need to carry much as we just had the school run, a walk around our favourite trail and then a couple of quick errands to run, a really easy day. It was pretty hot and humid though - there was no-one else on the trail, wisely avoiding the heat, and I'd wished I'd brought my water bottle with me! My son had his of course.


How You Can Wear It:

Shorts and tee is a classic, failsafe, mum-friendly outfit for a hot summer day. You can mix it up a little by trying a printed tee, it's just as easy to wear. And you can match other pieces in your outfit to the colours in the print for simple accessory selection too, like I have done with the bags in these outfits.

  3. Mica, these are really cute summer outfits! You are making me long for some warm sunshine. I really like the pink and olive green combination. So pretty and the top is really cute! I am so glad that everything is okay with your son. Emergency room visits are never good, but they seem to be so much worse at the holidays.

  6. Mica, I love the color of that pink crossbody bag, it's lovely. Oh, shorts and bare legs. I miss you already. It's always shocking for me to see you wearing summer stuff while I am deep in the trenches of winter. I was glad to hear that your son is recovering and hopefully that means he will not need any other further procedures.

  7. Such cute outfits, Mica! It's been cold in NYC lately, so it's fun to see some summer looks for later in the year. I'm sorry that your son had to have surgery right around the holidays, but glad to hear that he's recovering well. Hopefully 2021 is full of good health, cheer, and love for you and yours!

  21. So sorry to hear that your son had to go into hospital for surgery. Things like that are stressful at the best of times, but especially so at Christmas time. I'm glad to hear he recovered well and you were still able to enjoy Christmas, even if it was a quieter one than usual.
    Both of your printed tees and shorts outfits are perfect to combat hot and humid temperatures. Wishing you and your lovely family all the best for 2021, Mica! xxx

  29. Lovely outfits dear. The first outfit is really nice even if your day was stressful. I imagine taking your son to hospital and having to schedule him for surgery before Christmas was stressful, it is good he recovered and that you were able to celebrate Christmas at home.
    I really like the olive shorts in the second outfit and that t-shirt is absolutely amazing. Such a fab outfit. Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day dear.

    Love the summery outfits - I can't even think about t-shirts and shorts, ha ha! Your colours are super in both of them - great picks with the bags.

  53. Hi Mica,
    I'm looking at you in shorts and t-shirt and I'm jealous, here we are with a wave of polar cold, we have to wear clothes over clothes to withstand the cold and Portugal is not one of the countries where it gets colder !!
    I wish I could wear these beautiful looks you present!
    I hope this year will be better than last year and that the pandemic will end as soon as possible. I wish you a happy new year!
