Orange Tees, Navy Culottes And Converse

Two orange and blue shorts and tee outfits that look a lot brighter on my computer screen than they felt in person! No matter the shade, I love orange and navy together.

Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
Shorts: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagChloe periwinkle small Paraty


Why I wore it:

This was a particularly hot and humid day so shorts and a tee was perfect - especially a nice soft oversized tee like this marigold one and light and soft printed navy culotte shorts like these. My parents came over and gave me a new bike! They got it for free from their neighbour who didn't want it any more and both worked on it to get it cleaned up and safe for me to bike on. It's a gorgeous bike and I'm so excited! Looks just like this, the basket easily fits my bag and everyone's water bottles. Of course we had to go out for a bike ride right away for me to test it out. It wasn't the smoothest ride - the bike itself is super comfortable and a dream to ride - but the kids stop a lot and I spent most of the time waiting for them or jumping off to help them pedal along or up a hill, haha! It's nice to actually be able to bike along with them too though instead of just walking behind them on their bike rides. Looking forward to biking around more and using it to build up the strength in my knee. Haven't had a bike in years so I'm thrilled with this one.

I liked the bright orange tee with the navy printed culottes. Even though there is no orange in the print on the shorts, the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag and the blue Converse Chucks were enough extra matchy-matchy colour to make me happy. Great outfit and day!

Necklace: thrifted blue multi stand long beaded necklace
TeeCotton On The One fitted v tee in washed summer mango
Shorts: Jeanswest Valerie yarn dye stripe short in navy and white
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
BagRebecca Minkoff MAB mini in soft grey 


Why I wore it:

Shorts and tee are of course a mum staple and is the perfect outfit for the school run, working from home, and with the navy striped culotte shorts is dressy enough for an afternoon appointment for my son. I knew when I saw this pretty washed mango tee on the Cotton On site that I'd be wearing it with these navy culottes! I didn't know that my camera would make it look almost neon, haha! As you can see in the Insta pic it's more of a subdued orange - "washed summer mango" is both the official colour name and the perfect way to describe the colour!

I wasn't 100% happy with the necklace choice - I do like the navy with the orange tee but I think the necklace was a bit out of place with the tie on the navy striped culottes and I could have gone with something shorter. Being in a rush to get everyone up and ready and out for the school run before getting back home to log onto work though I went with this first choice necklace. Wasn't too bad, just not a combo I'd repeat again.

I did like the neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff MAM bag with this outfit though - it really does go with everything. Even though I didn't need to carry too much on this day and could have gone with a smaller bag, it was easier using this one I'd already used previously and still not transferred my things out of.

How You Can Wear It:

Navy and orange are an easy combo - no matter what shade of orange! If you have an orange tee, try it with a pair of navy shorts. Printed culottes can be great for adding even more colour to your outfit too.

  3. Hello Mica, I hope you're having a nice week so far!

    First of all I enjoyed seeing your wardrobe too, your video is so dynamic and you did a very nice job organizing your treasures. It looks so tidy and I'd say now it is easier to spot your bags. I also liked the way you used a Coca Cola bottle to put your bracelets, so creative!

    I liked your navy + orange /mustard combo, actually I wore a simliar outfit yesterday but in the winter version ;)

    All the best!

  6. You look SO good in orange, Mica! Orange and navy (or any shade of blue) is always a winning combination in my book - these are both awesome outfits.

    Wow, that's a wonderful bike - what a great gift!

  7. Ooh, I loved seeing your full wardrobe too! Thanks so much for the tour! I like the perforated tray you're using for your earrings - those would look cool hung on the wall, to display them. :)

  9. I like the bright tees Mica. Never too bright in my opinion, LOL!!
    As for the necklace and tie on your shorts, I bet no one would notice that except you. However, I sometimes tie a knot in those kinds of necklaces to shorten them.
