V-Neck Tees, Printed Maxi Skirts and Rebecca Minkoff MAM Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, two simple printed maxi skirts and tee outfits, both featuring different shades of red and blue! And my neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag that was definitely overdue a wear.


What I wore:

Necklace: Uniquely Made with Love Sea Change necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed poolside blue (new purchase)
Skirtthrifted Billabong 'Don't Think Of It' bikini red printed maxi skirt
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Roie Designs pearl, howlite and hematite beaded bracelets
BagRebecca 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.

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff MAM






What I wore:

navy stripe maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey | awayfromtheblue




Necklace: Target silver Alisha trinity pendant necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed red clay
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca 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).

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.

  1. Maxi 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!
    Thanks for the link up!

  2. What beautiful outfits! You always wear maxis so well. The reddish clay tee looks great with the striped maxi skirt.
    I 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.

  4. 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

  9. 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!

    1. I'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!

  10. I 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!

  20. 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

  26. Love 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.

  46. 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.

    love is zero

  49. 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!
