Weekday Wear Link Up: Blue and Yellow Tanks, Denim Shorts and Kimono Outfits

Colourful blue and yellow outfits with denim shorts, tanks and kimonos for today's Weekday Wear Link Up. Both the blue and yellow tanks are the same style, I just had to buy it in two different colours when it went on sale 😅


What I wore:

BagRebecca Minkoff Love Too in deep teal croc embossed leather


Why I wore it:

What a surprising day! Just as we pulled up to school they announced on the radio that Brisbane would be going into lockdown that night and it would be my son's last day of school for the term. There had been a couple of events and activities planned for the last week of school so that was a bit upsetting - but to be honest my son handled it better than I did! I kept remembering when this happened in 2020 and we went into lockdown to end the school term early and it turned into weeks at home and online learning...so glad it wasn't the case this year and the 3 day Brisbane lockdown was actually lifted early.

Thankfully my son's teacher still welcomed me to help out in his class room as normal, even if we did a few different things to help her cram a weeks worth of last week of term activities into one day instead of our regular helping with learning! The school handled it well. One of the activities planned for the end of the school day still went ahead, so we were able to enjoy that at school pick up before heading home to start lockdown, as sports later that evening was cancelled so we wouldn't be out when lockdown came into effect.

I had a grocery delivery coming the next day that I'd ordered online as usual so I didn't need to join any queues at the supermarkets, unlike last time there was a surprise lockdown and we were out of bread. My youngest son and I did decide to go get a few more books from the library though, just in case the 3 day lockdown was extended. We were not the only ones stocking up on books! 😅 I was jealous of the lady who turned up with a literal cart and just started filling it with books!

It was nice I had picked such a cheerful outfit for a stressful day - this mustard yellow tank looks really good with the navy floral duster kimono, and I thought the teal earrings were a nice bit of matchy-matchy with the teal Rebecca Minkoff Love Too bag.





What I wore:

yellow kimono, Louis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull on shoulder | away from the blue

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Tank: Jeanswest Maya gather back tank in mid turquoise
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
ShoesNew Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Why I wore it:

Wore this for a little stroll along our favourite trail. This turquoise tank is such a bold shade of blue and it pairs so nicely with yellow! So this outfit is a blue tank and yellow kimono, inverse of the one above! Wore this a few days before the lockdown announcement, when it wasn't even on our mind.

Thought bright and colourful would be nice for our little walk, and of course I needed my New Balance sneakers to provide support along the trail. Took my big Louis Vuitton neverfull tote to fit all our water bottles and some snacks in - it's a big bag but it's so light and is perfect for carrying along all the kids things as well as mine!

Again I stuck with denim Bermuda shorts, these black ones matched the shoes and balanced out the bright blue and yellow nicely I thought.


Last worn: yellow kimono, navy tassel necklace, turquoise tank, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers (above), Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote.

Other ways to wearyellow kimono and olive green, turquoise tank and pencil skirt, black denim shorts and a dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote and maxi dress.

Perfect for pregnancyLouis Vuitton Neverfull tote worn 30 ways.



How You Can Wear It 

Blue and yellow look so good together - in any shade combination! Try mustard yellow and navy, or even blue denim! And turquoise works well with and equally bright and sunny shade of yellow too.

  3. Good basic tanks in multiple colors are definitely wardrobe essentials, even better when they're on sale! Glad you were still able to help out in your son's classroom and thank goodness for grocery delivery!

    1. Yes the neighbours and I were laughing about it the other day - I'm the only one in the street still doing the deliveries! They like getting out to the store as an excuse to leave the house, I just prefer having it all turn up at my doorstep each week and not having to try fit it in around work and the school run, haha! :)

  4. Looks like it is really warm weather with kimonos and shorts. We seldom wear kimonos outdoors here but the idea looks very pretty. The yellow top goes very well with the coloured kimono, good combinations.

  5. I love your denim shorts - it's difficult to find ones that aren't too short and almost show your bum! I'm glad your lockdown didn't last too long x

  14. Two great Kimono looks, Mica. Love the touches of yellow!

    My kids went back to school for a couple of months, now they are back virtually but supposed to be going back beginning of May (hopefully). So upsetting especially since it's my son's last year of Highschool. His age group is missing out on so much!! But sadly not much any one of us can do...

    1. It's such a shame it's not safe enough for your schools to be reopen :( We are lucky, after the first 6 week lockdown in March 2020 I think they have only missed about 1 and a half weeks of school, just a day or two here and there if a 3 day lockdown lines up with a school day.

  21. Hi Mica
    3 days of lockdown? we stayed for 2 months and we are now reopening the economy, I don’t know how I’ve managed to handle being closed at home without getting sick!
    I also think about my life before this pandemic and all that we have lost!
    I loved your first look, I think you have a bigger collection of kimonos than mine !!

    1. I do love a good kimono!

      And yes, we are lucky, when there is a case of the virus that gets out of quarantine we are able to lockdown while they find the contacts and put them into quarantine and then we can go back to normal life thankfully. So lucky. Hope your lockdown is lifted soon!

  22. I'm glad to hear that the lockdown was lifted early, but I can imagine it was a bit of a shock to the system. The turquoise tank is such a gorgeously vibrant colour and looks stunning with the yellow based kimono. However, my favourite outfit is the first one. That floral kimono is absolutely stunning! xxx

  23. Wow I can't imagine finding out a surprise lockdown so suddenly like that. It's good that your son handled it so well as that must've lessened your stress and that the lockdown was lifted early. Getting groceries delivered is such a nice convenience. I have continued to do this even after lockdown as it just makes life so much easier.

    1. The way things are unfortunately - until we have vaccinated all the doctors and nurses there's always a chance it can spread out of hotel quarantine and we need to pause for a while so they can identify all the possible contacts! We have kept up our grocery delivery too - it really does make things easier!

  24. Love both outfits. You look great.
    Sorry to hear about the lockdown.

  25. Both excellent outfits, Mica! I applaud your use of the bold yellow and turquoise blue - they really pop! - particularly in the second outfit, with the black as well as the bright yellow.

    Sorry to hear about these quick lock-downs you're experiencing, but at least you're able to see other people! Hang in there, my dear friend!

  31. Those tanks are great they look so comfy and the colors are too fun The kimonos are super chic and on trend and great for hot weather. Sorry you guys are going in to lock down again. I got my second shot last week. It will be nice to spend time with other people who have been vaccinated. Things are going so well in France where my step family lives...

  35. Hello, Mica.
    Very nice oadu oadu and your clothes in yellow and blue.
    The two colors immediately add to your cheerfulness.
    The yellow color is also popular in my country because of the changing of the rainy season to the dry season.

    Have a super week!.

    Good that you got the kimonos in two colors! I think they are your statement piece and I love the collection of kimonos you're showing us from time to time! Everyone is a little treasure! This time the yellow one was my favorite, love the pattern and the fact that you can't go unnoticed with this piece :)

    Ooooh and sorry to hear that you're facing a new lockdown :( For us in Europe, Australia is a good example of how to handle the pandemic, but I imagine some restrictions can come back from time to time, so take care :)
