Weekday Wear Linkup: Navy Printed Culotte Shorts Again With Colourful Tees

For today's Weekday Wear Linkup I'm wearing my navy printed culotte shorts again! I have always been a shorts fan in summer but it's been nice to change it up a little from my usual go-to denim shorts. I have been feeling like I've been wearing these shorts a bit much but they are so cool and comfortable for hot summer days, definitely have been a favourite for this summer!

What I wore:

Earrings: Kmart silver leaf drop chandelier earrings
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Jeanswest Shelley garment dye tee in faded denim blue
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC bag in fig 

Why I wore it:

Wore this for another visit to my parents, we headed over in the afternoon after a quiet morning at home. I wanted to wear some of the new pieces I got for Christmas - the earrings were a stocking gift from Santa, but the necklace, tee and shorts were gifts from my mum. I knew this tee would pair perfectly with the navy striped culottes when I unwrapped it, it's an awesome monochromatic combo!

With the matchy-matchy silver accessories and the monochromatic look with the blue Converse, navy shorts and blue tee, I felt this outfit needed a little something different so I added the pink Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC for a bit of contrast. I didn't have to carry much during the day either so this was the perfect size for just the essentials I needed!

Last worn: silver circle necklace, navy printed culottes, Converse, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody. First time I've worn the tee and earrings as they were Christmas gifts.

Other ways to wear: navy printed culottes and white tee, Converse and floral shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Jean MAC crossbody and maxi dress.

What I wore:

Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in elfin yellow
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes:  New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

Again with a block colour tee and navy printed culottes, although this was a much more colourful outfit than the monochrome one above. Taking advantage of the school holidays I had a fun day out planned, letting my son pick what he wanted us to do for the day. We went on a bike ride in the morning, and then the beach afterwards. It was a really fun day.

This was definitely not the best bag choice for the beach though, an easily wipe-downable tote would have been better. I was a little worried about my new Christmas bag getting wet and sandy. I spent most of my time sitting on the sidelines watching though, aside from a little paddle now and then so the bag was salt water free thankfully.

I really liked how well all of the colours in this outfit worked together. The periwinkle blue of the Chloe Paraty bag is a nice compliment to the blue in the print of the navy culottes. Much like the pastel tee, it isn't an exact match with the colour in the print, but it's close enough that it looks so nice together. 



Last worn: pastel yellow tee, gold and navy beaded necklace, floral print navy culottes, New Balance sneakers, Chloe Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: pastel yellow tee and olive jeans, floral print navy culottes and pink, New Balance sneakers and midi dress, Chloe Paraty bag at Christmas.

How You Can Wear It:

A pair of navy printed culottes are so versatile! You can go monochromatic by pairing it with other shades of blue, or picking some colours out of the print like I have in the second outfit if you want something a little brighter.
