Striped Tanks And Maxi Skirts With Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody Bags | Weekday Wear Link Up

Keeping things super simple for more hot days a couple weeks ago with striped tanks and block colour maxi skirts. Both maxi skirts were lucky opshop finds and they work well with the striped tanks! Not that you can really go wrong with stripes.


What I wore:

black stripe tank with navy maxi skirt and magenta accessories edie bag statement necklace | awayfromblue

navy maxi skirt and Rebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta | awayfromblue


Necklace: thrifted magenta pink statement beaded necklace
TankAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
Skirt: thrifted navy viscose drawstring no label maxi skirt
ShoesWittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Edie small crossbody bag in magenta


Why I wore it:

I like black and navy together - although I used to think that they were two colours you should never wear together, so silly! I liked the black and white stripes with the navy skirt but this outfit felt like it was missing a little colour, so I added the magenta Rebecca Minkoff Edie cross body bag and then went a little matchy-matchy with the magenta statement necklace. I haven't been wearing a lot of my statement necklaces recently, it's not my first choice in the summer heat, but I have been missing them so gave this one another wear. It's a pretty close match to the magenta of the Edie bag too!

Wore this for a normal busy mum day - helping out in my son's class in the morning, a trip to the library and the playground with my youngest, and sports in the evening after school pickup. There was a nice breeze so this maxi skirt with knee high slits was a good choice!


Last worn: black and white striped tank, magenta statement necklace, navy maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie bag.

Other ways to wearblack and white striped tank and blazer, navy maxi skirt and leopard print, studded sandals and little black dress, Rebecca Minkoff magenta Edie bag and kimono.

Perfect for pregnancystudded sandals in second trimester.

Skirt: thrifted Tree of Life ochre maxi skirt

BagRebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey


Why I wore it:

Surprisingly I hadn't worn this striped tank and ochre maxi skirt together before! Such a simple combination and a nice way to hit 30 wears with this tank! I recently posted all 30 ways I've worn this striped tank.

This was again a nice simple outfit for a busy day, with the school run and working from home. I felt my Rebecca Minkoff Love bag was due another wear so I got it out, even if it only went as far as between the car park and school and kindy!

I've worn this tortoiseshell tassel necklace with the ochre skirt before, I like the colour combination, and this necklace looks great with stripes too for a little extra print mix.


How You Can Wear It:

With a plain, block colour maxi skirt, a striped tank is a great pairing for a little extra interest with your outfit. Nice and cool for a hot summer day too!

  8. I really like black and navy together as well. I think I always have. I remember wearing a navy printed maxi skirt with black boots and a black blazer over 20 years ago. It was one of my favorite outfits! I really like both of your outfits here. The pink bag is perfect with the black and navy. And the rust colored skirt is such a great color, too. It looks wonderful with stripes. I hope you have a lovely week ahead, my friend!

  19. I am always drawn to that ochre skirt! I like how the tassel necklace picks up the color too. Yes, you can never have to many striped top. I told myself I won't get any this spring/summer but I do have my eye on one tee!

  32. Striped tops make a wonderful pairing with maxi skirts. I like your navy and black version in the first outfit- I don't know why but I used to think that these two colours don't match. I don't think so anymore.
    The colours in your second outfit are wonderful as well. Your ochre maxi skirt is lovely. You look very pretty and fresh in both of these looks.
