What I wore:
Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Tee: Big W mustard v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue
Why I wore it:
This was a fun day! After the school run I took my youngest out to a messy play day. Something we used to do and enjoy regularly before Covid last year. It was so good to attend again. They've been running them for a while as life returned to normal quickly here after the first lockdown in March 2020 when we reached no cases, but we've always had something else on so couldn't make it before. It was an Easter theme so lots of eggs and bunnies and my son really enjoyed it. I just wanted a simple outfit as I know from experience there can be a little bit of mess that makes its way onto me!
So I wore simple soft shorts (these olive ones are a staple this summer) and a bright tee. This mustard one hasn't been worn in a while and surprisingly I've never worn it with these shorts before! I really like yellow with these olive shorts so it was interesting to see I hadn't put these two pieces together before. Added the tortoiseshell tassel necklace to try dress this up just a little.
The blue Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack is another touch of colour with the outfit but I just picked it as it's easy to clean with a baby wipe, in anticipation of it getting dirty during messy play!
Last worn: mustard tee, tortoiseshell necklace, olive shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack.
Other ways to wear: mustard tee and maxi skirt, olive shorts with navy, Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack and midi dress.

Unboxing My Latest Bag Buy:
What I wore:
Top: Kmart short sleeve textured dolman top in marigold
Jeans: Jeanswest Vicki skinny pant in moss green
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather
Why I wore it:
I'd planned to wear this (almost more orange than mustard top) with the olive shorts above, but a cooler and rainy autumn day meant I went with jeans instead. Luckily I have these olive green skinny jeans so I could still wear the colour combo I had planned.
This was such a comfortable outfit for working from home and then spending some time with my mum in the afternoon. This marigold ribbed batwing sleeve top is so perfectly slouchy and such a cheerful colour, and these jeans are so comfortable. I wore them when we flew to Europe a couple years ago. The statement necklace helped dress it up a little too.
I thought the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag would be a nice touch with the olive jeans, teal and olive are a surprisingly good combination.
Last worn: marigold slouchy top, statement necklace, olive skinny jeans, Adidas Superstar, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.
Other ways to wear: marigold slouchy top with grey, olive skinny jeans for long-haul flight, Adidas Superstar and floral dress, teal croc Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag and maxi dress.
How You Can Wear It
Mustard and olive looks so good together! You can even introduce a third colour to your outfit with an accessory like a bag too, for an even more colourful and cheerful outfit.
April Purchases - for the first time this year I've had a no-buy month! So no new purchases to share today for April.
I don't think I own any bottoms in that colour and I need to change that ASAP, they both look great! I hope your son enjoyed his messy play, it sounds really fun with the Easter theme. It's great they can do stuff like that again post covid too x

I love your collection of blue bags - I've got a blue Matt and Nat back in my closet that you've inspired me to pull out!

DeleteGlad I inspired you! I do love blue and have a few blue bags, haha!
I really like mustard on you, but it is a color that I never managed to make work for me.

DeleteI find it the most wearable shade of yellow but I know yellow isn't for everyone!
Love the colours !

You look so great in shades of warm yellow, Mica. Both mustard and marigold really look fab on you! I love them paired with olive green, and the blue adds a great pop of colour.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, my dear friend!
DeleteMustard is my fave shade of yellow - I should wear it more often! :)
Olive and mustard are a wonderful pairing! You have such an eye for colour! That second look is SO sophisticated. Wow! I love it. And that purse is the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
I am totally digging both these outfits on you:) You look fan in these colours for sure! And it's really awesome to see Australia being back to almost normal....I know there's a lot of problems with Morrison right now, so any good news is a breath of fresh air for sure:)

Deleteyes it's good we have so few restrictions even if the federal government is dragging their feet on vaccinations :(
Never try this color combo out. So going to have to give it a try. So happy to hear the boys got to do messy play again.

ReplyDeleteI like that color combo Mica. Both outfits look great on you. Enjoy the weekend Mica.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cut outfit, I love the pairing!

I love olive green! I also like to pair it with mustard yellow like you did. You look fantastic in both of these outfits. The outfit with olive green shorts is awesome and so is the look with olive green jeans. Your blue RM bag is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st of May!
ReplyDeleteThose outfits look so comfy! I absolutely love the Adidas Superstar sneakers, I have a pair and they're my favourite. <3

Mustard and olive are indeed perfect together, and I particularly love your second outfit, as that batwing sleeved top is absolutely gorgeous. The cream and navy necklace and the teal Rebecca Minkoff handbag are perfect with it too. Have a lovely Sunday Mica! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love mustard clothes

This color is gorgeous on you! I really need to wear more yellow, so thanks for reminding me! And a messy play day sounds pretty fun. I wish we had those here in the US as kids!

It's so good things are opening up for you so you can take him to things like that! Messy play is always a hit! :)
DeleteNot a colour combination I would have thought of - but you rock it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your long weekend.
Dearest Mica,
ReplyDeleteThe Olive and Mustard go very well together but the blue is a clashing color...
Hugs,
Mariette
DeleteI just love the combo of the 3 together :)
I absolutely love the embroidered shorts! And you paired it perfectly with the mustard top.
ReplyDeleteThis color combination looks gorgeous. I will try :-)

I love olive green! I have lots of bottoms in that color, but I hav never paired them with a mustard top. Love your look. Mustard and olive green is a beautiful combination! Glad some things are getting back to normal where you are. We've been pretty much back to normal here (except we still have to wear the masks in stores here in Maryland. Some states like Florida and Texas have dropped the mask mandate making me wish I lived in one of those states!) for a while now. And glad you got in some mom time too. :)

DeleteIt's good things are safer for you, hope you don't have to wear masks for long. I've only had to wear a mask a few times, we have no restrictions here at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your comments :)
