What I wore:
Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue (new purchase)
Skirt: thrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
Breaking the "weekday" part of the Weekday Wear Linkup as I wore this on the weekend, taking the kids out for a bike ride around our favourite trail and stopping off at the playground before going home for lunch. Wanted something cool as it was such a humid day - this breezy red thrifted maxi skirt was perfect and it gave me the change to wear my newly purchased blue v-neck tee. I really like the pale blue with the red printed maxi skirt. I wasn't sure if this necklace would get 'lost' with the blue tee but I think it worked well!We weren't planning to be out too long with the heat so I just packed a couple of snacks and all our water bottles in my grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM. It holds a ton! Stuck with my comfortable yet not quite matching the outfit New Balance sneakers, as after aggravating my knee injury I needed the extra support for our trail walking.
Last worn: beaded necklace, red printed maxi skirt, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff MAM. First time I've worn the blue v-neck tee as it was a recent purchase.
Other ways to wear: red printed maxi skirt and knit, Rebecca Minkoff MAM in the office.
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff MAM in second trimester.
What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAM
What I wore:
Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey
Why I wore it:
With the reddish clay coloured tee and the navy printed maxi skirt this outfit is just a flipped version of the colours in the first one. I wore the Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag again with this, as once I start using this bag it is really hard to swap it out for another one as it just fits everything I need, and being a neutral grey it goes with everything!Picked a simple matchy-matchy necklace with the silver hardware on the bag and comfortable Converse shoes to add another touch of colour with my outfit. We had a busy day, being parent helper in my son's classroom in the morning, grabbing some groceries at Woolies and then a play in the park before the afternoon school pickup and sports in the evening.
The first time I wore this tee I paired it with black shorts and it worked well but I really liked it this time around with the navy striped maxi skirt more, so I'll need to wear it again with navy in the future!
Last worn: washed clay tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag (above).
Other ways to wear: clay tee and shorts, navy stripe maxi skirt with yellow, Converse in monochrome outfit, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM worn 30 ways bag
Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag in second trimester.
Last worn: washed clay tee, silver circle necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag (above).

Perfect for pregnancy: Rebecca Minkoff grey MAM bag in second trimester.
How You Can Wear It:
A plain block colour v-neck tee is a great wardrobe basic and works well with printed pieces in your wardrobe. A printed maxi skirt makes a nice summer outfit with a v-neck tee but feels a little more dressed up than a standard pair of shorts.

Lovely styles :-D
ReplyDeleteMaxi skirts are perfect for hot, humid weather - I prefer them over shorts as they're so much cooler. Your bag is such a great neutral and the perfect size. As much as I love a crossbody bag if I'm carrying something that's not a crossbody I want lots of room!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link up!

What beautiful outfits! You always wear maxis so well. The reddish clay tee looks great with the striped maxi skirt.
ReplyDeleteI also love the blue and red contrasting in the first look. Great skirt and top combo for sure. Have a great start of the week.
These are all such cute outfit choices

Both outfits look super cozy and chic! I have to say that I've yet to trail walk in a long skirt before and am amazed that you did it. Your tees are so soft and I just love both colors you picked! You're right about the grey bag being super versatile, it's hard to switch to another one when it fits everything :) I Hope you and your kiddos are staying fit, healthy and happy. Wishing you a brilliant week ahead =D xoxo
ReplyDeleteit's a very short trail! :) My little ones are 4 and 6 so it can't be anything long or strenuous! :)
DeleteI love maxi skirts and these are both great looks! I especially like the first look with the pale blue tee!

I feel like maxi skirts are about to have a comeback with spring/summer and I would love to get one. I always struggle finding them and maxi dresses although I wouldn't say I am short, short, at 5' 4 so many are still way too long. I love your red one, its such a pretty pattern. Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm even shorter :) The red one I had to have taken up after I thrifted it, but the Target one is the perfect length - maybe it was meant to be a midi skirt!
DeleteI love comfortable dresses. They allow you to move freely, and with two kids you certainly deserve it! You matched comfortable with stylish pieces, and I think it's cool!

ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous! Especially loving the navy striped maxi skirt with the rust colored top. And such great jewelry on both!
ReplyDeleteEllibelle's Corner
Both outfits are so gorgeous! I especially love that red printed skirt. It makes a statement but still allows you to stay cool and look stylish. <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
I really like the light blue top with the first skirt. An unexpected color match that is really pretty. I do get so hot in the summer: light breezy clothes are key.
ReplyDeletewww.chezmireillefashiontravelmom.com
You look great. You always style your outfits so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love these color combos, Mica! That light blue tee with the bright orange skirt are so cute together. I love the pattern and flowiness of the skirt. Hope your week is off to a great start!

You can't go wrong with maxi skirts and tees in Summer! My favourite is the first outfit. I love how the pale blue interacts with your red printed maxi. And isn't Washed Poolside Blue a wonderful name for that shade of blue? I hope your week went off to a good start, Mica xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is a perfect way to sum up this lovely blue shade, definitely! :)
DeleteLove the way you styled these two maxi skirts-you have such versatility in your wardrobe. Also that's a great neutral bag, perfect stuffable style for when you need to carry more than usual! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteYour maxi skirts are awesome, Mica! I love the blue-red combos you're doing here too. Your MAB bag is amazing - what a lot of stuff it holds! I recognized the colour - same as mine - and it's so versatile!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link-up party!
It's such a classic grey shade it's no surprise they keep bringing it back! :)
DeleteThanks for linking!
These colors are so pretty together! I love the skirt too, so many ways to style it!

That neutral toned RM bag looks great with both looks and how nice to get out on the trails it has been raining and snowing here it seems non stop lol. I was going to try and go to the RM show but you needed a negative COVID test to get in!

DeleteThanks for hosting Mica, I do hope you have a super week. Great looks too. Jacqui
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo in the last outfit. I know sneaker can not be the fashionable things to wear but they sure make a game changer. When it comes to are bodys. I have pretty much wroten off flats. Since last year I live in sneakers in the warmer month and my uggs in the colder months.

I miss my ballet flats but with my knee injury I really need the support of a sneaker!
DeleteI just love how you flipped the colors in these outfits and they look so different!!

I feel like blue and red look best together when one of the colors is softer or more muted, and you totally nailed the pairing with both of these looks!

The new light blue tee shirt is a great color on you! Lovely outfits, both!
ReplyDeleteAww how fun that you got to be parent helper! I've never been able to do that but I bet your son loved you being there! I love those print maxi skirts, and you're reminding me I need to look for one--that is a wardrobe hole I have in my closet!
ReplyDeleteYes I'm so lucky I only work part time so I can help out - I did the same when he started school, before Covid.
DeleteNice outfits and accesories. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
You look fabulous, Mica! Your maxi skirts never cease to amaze me! I absolutely love them both in this post. I'm also sorry to hear your knee is giving you trouble again. That is just the worst when the weather is nice. I hope it feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteHere the playgrounds are banned due to the Pandemic, you are very lucky, but despite everything, things have been improving.
Your looks are always so comfortable and another great bag to take some snacks !!

Our playgrounds have been open for such a long time, they opened after the first lockdown and haven't closed again :)
DeleteA maxi dress and a tee is such a breezy way to put together a summer outfit!

Love the red printed maxi skirt. I love the blue-red combos. These colors are so pretty together!
ReplyDeleteLoving this look! One of my favorites is a v-neck with maxi skirt.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these outfits are so cute!! I just love the clay colored tee paired with navy!
ReplyDeletei really like the first red maxi skirt. It looks like a boho skirt to me.

Looking awesome as always in both outfits:) Girl, you are the queen of maxi skirts for sure! I can't believe you can do playdates and bike rides in them...I can barely walk in long skirts:D But seriously....love them, and also love the RM bag:)
ReplyDeletethey are just so comfortable! I've never yet ridden a bike in one but I do walk behind the kids when they bike in one, haha!
DeleteI really love your striped maxi skirt. I've been looking for one like it for so long. I've not struck lucky yet though, having to make do with layering jumpers over a striped maxi dress!
ReplyDeletexo Sarah | Oomph London
Great layering! I hope you find the perfect striped skirt soon! This one is from Target :)

You always style your maxi skirts so nicely. Love the two looks Mica!

You really have a great style that is very unique, I really like how you pair things up, it's every artistic. It's always funny when I feel like our weathers align like it was hot here today too, and I'm above the equator but it's almost never cold in my state. I really love how you pair the chuck taylor's, I love those shoes but I can't wear them because of how wide my feet are.
ReplyDeletelove is zero
Always love the maxi skirts - first one is my favorite.

I love this bag, and both outfits! I think my fave is the bright color of the first skirt, it is beautiful and looks so comfy too.
ReplyDeleteMake Life Marvelous
I love that you incorporate your fancy bags just naturally into your everyday life. I'm very precious with my MAM, so it rarely gets used. :( I'm better with the small RM crossbody I have, though, because it's black and it's small, so less apt to get dirty or messed up somehow!
ReplyDeleteI love a good broken in bag so I have no fear using my MAB, although yes it is a little dirty as a result!
DeleteThanks all for your lovely comments - and for joining the link up! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely outfits!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good weekend so far :)
