Embroidered Tops, Denim Jackets, Maxi Skirts and Micro Bedford Bag: Weekday Wear Link Up

Getting a couple more wears from my denim jackets before winter really set in here in Brisbane at the start of June! They are a nice light layer for these embroidered tops and maxi skirt outfits with Converse and my little Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.


What I wore:

denim jacket, embroidered tank and ruffle hem maxi skirt outfit for winter | away from blue

black maxi skirt, Rebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight | awayfromtheblue


Jacket: Bubblegum denim jacket
Tank: Target embroidered khaki tank
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight


Why I wore it:

While I've worn this olive tank with a black maxi skirt before, it's the first time I've paired it with this particular maxi skirt. I really liked the combination - with the black embroidery on the olive tank, wearing it with more black is such an obvious choice. While it was a warmer autumn day I still needed something to cover up my arms, so I went with this classic denim jacket that works with everything. See 30 different ways to wear it here.

With the blue denim jacket, the neutral navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag was a nice matchy-matchy option. I didn't need to carry much either as it was a quieter day with just the school drop off, helping in my son's classroom and then relaxing with the little one before school pick up and sports in the evening.


Last worn: denim jacket, olive embroidered tank, black ruffle hem maxi skirt, Converse, navy Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag.

ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
BagRebecca Minkoff Micro Bedford zip satchel in twilight


Why I wore it:

Unlike the first outfit above, I wasn't so confident this would work. The embroidered navy tunic is so pretty but with the print on the maxi skirt I wasn't sure if it was too busy. I'm so glad I gave this a go though, really liked it. The white denim jacket pulled it all together nicely and I do always like navy with this skirt. Again, the Rebecca Minkoff micro Bedford bag was a bit of matchy-matchy with the navy top. Even though the Converse are a different shade of blue from the blue in the embroidery I thought they went well with this too.

Had a busy day! After school drop off the little one and I spent some time visiting my mum at her work, and then we had to go drop some books off at the library. I'd made it to my mum's work okay with the GPS (I've only been there a handful of times) but heading to the library instead of back home was tricky. At one point the GPS tracker line just jumped off the road and piled up into a big scribble. Never seen that before! Anticipating that it would just recalculate I tried to go further down what I thought was the right road and it tried to catch up but then the line just stopped....so I ended up pulling off onto a side road and trying to figure the route out myself as it yelled conflicting nonsensical directions at me. Even my son in the back of the car was getting annoyed in the end and kept asking when we would be there at the library already 😂We made it in the end, even if we took the very long scenic route!


How You Can Wear It:

An embroidered top and a maxi skirt make for an easy, boho outfit. You can add a denim jacket as an simple layer for a cooler day too that won't clash with any embroidery or print you have in your outfit.

  2. very nice bag! It looks very comfortable and color is nice: simple to style yet not boring. love this bright red skirt from the second outfit as well. I don't think second outfit is anywhere busy, pattern play is very nice is you actually give it a go. surely it doesn't always work but when it does it's very eyecatching

  3. Dear Mica, winter is coming with you and we are sweating in the summer heat ;-) I really like your two outfits with a denim jacket and a maxi skirt. The boho style suits you so well and both combinations are beautiful. I'm glad you made it to the library despite GPS.
    Have a nice week,
    love Nadine

  6. Both of those embroidered tanks are really pretty. I especially like the second outfit so I am glad you tried that combo. Your adventures with the gps remind me of the times when ours couldn't figure out where we were.

  8. My GPS has pulled that one me once or twice and it's always so strange because I have literally no idea where it is taking me! And I love your collection of denim jackets. I've never been able to find one that fits me quite the way I want it to so I'm always a little envious seeing other people in theirs.

  12. Two great layered outfit options for cooler weather! I especially like the red, white and blue pattern mix. Sorry to hear about your GPS snafu-I have been at odds with the machine and had to pull off the road to re-orient, too!

  15. Denim jackets and maxi skirts are such a great combination, aren't they? I love the way you've made both looks work so well - and I very much like that red patterned skirt, it's so cheerful :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Jean jackets are so versatile, aren't they? They make the perfect toppers in both of these outfits, Mica! You're looking so fabulous! Good for you for branching out with your pattern-mixing with the embroidered top and patterned skirt - it looks fantastic and really makes the outfit sing.

    Sorry to hear about your GPS malfunction! The scenic route is not always the most fast, but at least you figured it out! Ah, that makes me miss actual paper maps, ha ha!

  17. Denim jackets are such wardrobe staples, aren't they. I started wearing mine as soon as the weather allowed. I'm glad you went ahead with the second outfit, even if you weren't confident at first. I love the well balanced colour and pattern pairing of this one! xxx

  19. That second outfit is marvelous Mica (I like the first one too, but that second one is so colorful). I think it's good to try new ways to put items together like this because we can be surprised in a good way.

  20. The magic of a denim jacket is its power to pull together and add polish to almost any look. Your looks didn't need that magic as both of them were great from the start.

    1. As you can see from this post, they are the same outfit formula (embroidered top, maxi skirt and denim jacket) they just look so different as I've used different pieces and colours. I wear the same comfortable formulas over and over, just mix up the pieces, easy :)

  32. Those are lovely denim jackets and maxi skirt combos. I love the first outfit where you paired your denim jacket with a black maxi skirt- very chic combo. I also really like your second styling where you paired your denim jacket with a bold maxi skirt for a busy day. There's a rock chic feeling to that outfit.

    Have a great day!

  33. Hello Mica, I hope you had a lovely weekend!

    Seems that you have a favorite new bag, this Bedford model looks perfect for a quick escapade or to style with casual looks. It is the bag that can carry a lot of stuff but looks chic and practical!

    I loved that you mixed it up with really different colors, like the red in the 2nd option and the olive green which suits you really well, actually I am wearing that color today and I love how it looks with vibrant colors!

    Have a great week ahead!
