Denim Shorts, Pink Tees and Blue Kimonos With Louis Vuitton Neverfull: Weekday Wear Linkup

I do love a good outfit formula - and since I liked this denim shorts, blue kimono and pink tee outfit combo the first time I wore it, I repeated it again with different pieces a few days later! Wore these outfits for a couple of adventure days with the kids and my mum and sister, exploring the rainforests in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

Shorts: thrifted Jeanswest distressed denim shorts
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Why I wore it:

We'd floated the idea of taking the kids to see the rainforest for a while - last time they had gone up Tamborine Mountain they were too small to remember it, and we thought they would enjoy one of the trails I liked growing up, the Curtis Falls trail in the Joalah section of the national park. It's just a short trail with a lovely waterfall and a bit of walking by the creek. We had a wonderful day and great picnic up the mountain, my only regret is that we did this near the end of the school holidays, as almost every day since the kids have asked when they can go back!

This kimono is a firm favourite with pink, I've worn it with pink before so I was eager to try it with this new pink tee mum gave me for Christmas last year. I thought the kimono would add some nice sun coverage without being too overly warm for our little hike, although it was a few degrees cooler on the rainforest floor so I didn't mind the extra layer. The denim shorts were a good practical choice for a lot of walking, and the Louis Vuitton neverfull, while not the most comfortable thing to wear while hiking through some muddy paths and scrambling over rocks in the creek, was certainly big enough for snacks and water bottles for us all. I did wish I'd picked a more practical backpack though when I tried to scramble up a rock, slipped, and the bag swung off my shoulder and nearly knocked me over 😂 Luckily I stayed dry, even if I had a slight limp for the rest of the walk after trying to stop my fall by planting all my weight on my bad knee!



Last worn: blue printed kimono, pink tee, marble necklace, wrap bracelet, distressed denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Louis Vuitton neverfull. First time I've worn the earrings as they were a Christmas present.

Other ways to wear: blue printed kimono and white shorts, pink tee and culottes, distressed denim shorts and purple kimono, Louis Vuitton neverfull worn 30 ways.

Perfect for pregnancy: Louis Vuitton neverfull in second trimester.



Wear & Tear: Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Neverfull

Necklace: blush pink and gold beaded tassel necklace
TeeCotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Why I wore it:

Again a pink tee and denim shorts - black Bermuda length ones this time though. We had another hike into the rainforest, up at O'Reillys, as it has been a good few years since I was last there and the kids had never been. I picked this kimono, another blue printed one, as it had popped up in my Instagram memories and I needed a cover up for my arms. It's a little cooler up at O'Reillys in the rainforest of Lamington national park, and we planned to do the bird feeding with the boys so I needed a little bit of arm coverage for that. The birds have pretty sharp claws and have no problems walking all over you to get to the bird seed you can buy for them - they are very tame for wild parrots! I even had one sitting on the edge of my Louis Vuitton neverfull at one point 😂

Just as I liked the outfit above, I loved this copy of the outfit formula too. And again I wondered why it has taken me so long to take the kids up to somewhere I loved visiting when I was younger, as they keep talking about the birds and how much they want to go back! I'm quite happy to wait a little longer before returning though - the sometimes single lane roads up the side of a mountain with very steep drops is not the most relaxing drive, and my boys were far too fearless when it came to the treetop walk and climbing 24 meters up on the ladder to the lookout point. I am terrified of heights, they thankfully are not. But this meant I had to go up the ladder with each of them. I was shaking so much by the time we got down to solid ground! Definitely a day to remember!





How You Can Wear It:

Pink and blue is a fun colour combination, and as you can see from these two outfits, any shade of blue and pink work well together. A printed kimono over a denim shorts and pink tee outfit is a fun way to try this out.

  13. The parrots would have scared me - even if they are tame! We have a zoo with an aviary and the birds (all small) fly freely and interact with patrons but I'm always on edge. Probably thanks to Hitchcock's Birds!
    Sorry you fell on your bad knee too - ugh!

  21. Your outfit for walking that trail is absolutely perfect - except perhaps for the bag :-) I'm not sure I know many people who would taken a Louis Vuitton bag on a hike! But ouch! Putting all your weight on your bad knee sounds like a recipe for disaster. I hope you did not make it worse? xxx
    P.S We've got snow and sub-zero temperatures here, so the idea of wearing shorts, tees and kimonos sounds quite impossible :-) xxx

    1. haha it was a hike with a 4 and 6 year old it wasn't climbing up a mountain or anything, a really easy and short trail! :)

      I did make my knee worse unfortunately - I would have been fine if I hadn't fallen!

  22. Both looks are spot on for a casual summer day. The kimono looks super comfy and not too hot. How fun to get to the rainforest! And love the photo with the birds. I remember going to the aquarium and they had a hot house with birds flying around, and butterflies to.

  26. Love your kimono collection - both outfits are lovely with the pink and blue. How fun that you got to see a waterfall and wild parrots! Amazing! Oh, you poor thing, I was picturing you nearly walloped with your own bag, and then navigating up twisty steep road, and then climbing up way higher than you prefer! You're Super-Mom, Mica!
