White Tees, Shorts, Sneakers and Marc By Marc Jacobs Bags

Easy outfits for the hot days of autumn that are really just an extension of the summer heat and humidity! Pairing some white tees with shorts and my Marc by Marc Jacobs bags. Because even though fashion has moved on and the brand doesn't exist any more, I still love a classic bag!

What I wore:

Necklace: Roie Designs feather, quartz and love charm long necklace
Tee: thrifted Kmart space dye cream and black longline top
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: Kmart white chunky platform sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown

Why I wore it:

This was the lightest outfit I could think of for such a hot and humid day - a soft slouchy printed white tee with loose pull on olive shorts. The chunky sneakers were nice and comfortable for a planned morning at the park after school drop off for my eldest.

I'd picked a new park to go to near a new tailor I wanted to try to get some maxi skirts fixed up. Unfortunately the park, while lovely, didn't have a shade cover. Not the best idea for such a hot day! Luckily the little one was happy to go for a walk round the park instead seeking as much shade as possible while he tried to "find a better park". Eventually the heat and lack of shade made us retreat back home to the aircon before school pickup in the afternoon.

I didn't need to carry much, a little snack and our water bottles along with the usual essentials, but I wore this big Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag anyway as I liked the way the carob brown looked with the olive embroidered shorts.


Last worn: space dye tee, feather necklace, olive embroidered shorts, chunky platform sneakers, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.

Other ways to wear: space dye tee and kimono, olive embroidered shorts and cardigan, chunky platform sneakers and midi dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag in the office.

What I wore:

Jacket: The Kindness Collective 'Kaleidoscope Dreams' printed kimono
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Cotton On The One Deep V tee in marle nep white body black 
Shorts: Jeanswest Heather Bermuda short in black
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bag: thrifted Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr Q Convertible clutch in electric violet with Rebecca Minkoff Crystal Star Shoulder Guitar strap

Why I wore it:

This was a much more colourful outfit than the first one, and thankfully a much cooler day! I also had the benefit of working from home between the school run and not having to be out in the heat!

I've worn this pretty magenta Marc By Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink a few times since I first thrifted it, but I really wanted to try it with purple too. It was a great combination! This purple printed kimono has a few colours in the print which made it a nice topper with the otherwise monochromatic black denim shorts and white tee outfit. The white tee has a bit of texture to it that looks almost like a print, but it is so subtle it still worked as a good base with the colourful printed kimono. Decided not too fuss over my hair too much but it certainly looks like it could have done with a little straightening that morning 😂


Last worn: purple printed kimono, white v-neck tee, circle necklace, black denim shorts, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch.

Other ways to wear: purple printed kimono and matching jeans, white v-neck tee and culottes, black denim shorts with a dress, New Balance sneakers and midi, Rebecca Minkoff bag strap on love bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs convertible clutch with pink tee.
