What I wore:
Necklace: Kmart navy and gold beaded tassel necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in azalea pink
Culottes: Kmart culotte short in navy lemon print
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in white
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey
Why I wore it:
This is the outfit that made me realise it was time to pack the shorts away for winter! It was a very cold morning and didn't really warm up as much as I'd wished. Thankfully we weren't outside too much - just a quiet day with the kids, grabbing a couple extra groceries for the weekend and visiting the library.I really like pink, purple and blue together so while I didn't find this outfit warm enough, I did love the colour combo! The purple cardigan looks great with the pink tee, and it's not the first time I've worn this pink tee with these printed culottes. Even though the pink in the print is a different shade, the tee and culottes work well together.
Comfortable Converse for a little bit of driving around and just a small handbag as we weren't out long - this neutral grey Rebecca Minkoff love bag was a nice choice with all the colour in the print.

Rebecca Minkoff Regular and Small Love Bag Comparison:
What I wore:
Necklace: Kmart silver long circle pendant necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here navy stripe v-neck tee
Shorts: Jeanswest Tessa olive embroidered shorts
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff chevron quilted small Love crossbody bag in pale coral
Why I wore it:
Unlike the outfit above, this was the perfect choice for the day, as I wore this back in warmer autumn days. At one point I felt the cardigan was a bit warm - it is a very thick knit. Again I spent most of my time inside. I'd swapped my work days around that week to meet some project deadlines (I only work part time) which left me with a very rare day off that was also kid free. It was nice to just head out with the essentials - phone, wallet, keys and hand sanitiser. This little Rebecca Minkoff small love bag is perfect for that and I really liked the pale coral colour, which is really more of an orange, against the olive embroidered shorts.Comfortable outfit for ticking a few things off my to do list, like buying a couple of extra birthday presents for my son without him or my younger one noticing! And then binge watching a few Superstore episodes on Netflix in the afternoon. Such a luxurious and relaxing day!

How You Can Wear It:
A light cardigan is a cosy topper over a shorts and tee outfit when the weather isn't quite warm enough for bare arms and legs. Great for autumn or spring!

You have me thinking of fall here when shorts with a cardigan is the way to go. The perfect outfit for those in between days. Hope you have a super weekend Mica!

Yes it's perfect when it starts too cool off but isn't too cold yet!
DeleteI like these bags, how structured they are. Also you style them perfectly as always. I hope so that you have beautiful week and you ready for weekend.

They are such cute bags for sure!

As I've mentioned in a previous comment, I'm not fond of stripes: I'm short, so I feel they don't advantage me. I do like all the other parts of your outfit (cardigan,shorts) and the orange colored bag.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a terrific weekend!
DeleteI love stripes even though I'm petite - they are my fave print! :)
Hello Mica, I hope you're having a lovely week!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that autumn and the first days of winter in Australia or at least in your region is not that cold right? So cool that you're able to wear shorts even in this season, and it is cool because you can wear it with some light jackets or cardigans!
I like both combinations, ideal for a day with errands but when you're comfortable. I like both ideas, but the first one seems the most interesting to me for the combinations of colors, need to try that purple + pink combo! Oooh and the orange bag, really cool option that looks impressive and elegant!
Enjoy the weekend!

We have had a very cold start to winter, but yes, usually autumn is not that cold. Glad you liked the colour combos!

As I read this, I'm wearing shorts and a tank top. (It's summer here.) I switch out from shorts as soon as things start getting chilly. It's usually so late in the fall by then that I'm ready for longer pants.
ReplyDeleteCool and casual looks :-D
ReplyDeleteI love the pink and purple together - such a great bold combo, Mica! The orange purse is the star of the second outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'll happily send you some of the hot weather we've been having! Glad you got to have a day off to yourself. That always feels good.
Take care and have an awesome weekend, my dear!
I'm glad it's cooled down for you now - I was very jealous of your warmer days!
DeleteI am all about sneaks with a skirt or dress! I love the pink top paired with purple in the first outfit!

Have you seen the Gabbi bag that is all the sensation apparently? I am certainly not usual in the know about purses (or much of anything style-wish) but saw it for Prime Days. Amazon has its own knock-off, too, that is much more affordable (by my budget standards). Anyway, your darling orange bag reminds me of one of the color choices of the Gabbi knock off. Such a great color.
ReplyDeleteLove the embroidered green shorts. So cute. I always struggle to wrap my head around May being the start of chillier months for you guys while it is the middle of our spring over here.
It is a great shade of orange! I've seen that bag around but it's a bit too small for my tastes, even though these bags are smaller I don't wear them much now I carry all the kids things with me - trying to buy bigger bags!
DeleteLove the color combo in the first pics! Such pretty and cheery colors. Hope you guys have a great weekend! XO

You always look so cute! I like the cardigan and the both bags. I really like the colors of the first outfit. I'm sorry shorts weather is done though.
ReplyDeleteI totally love that first outfit. I need to learn how to relax more. All I ever do on my days off is clean and run around the place.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.amysfashionblog.com/blog-home
It's so rare for me to have a kid free day off I was determined to make the most of it!
DeleteI love both of those pairs of shorts on you! That orange bag in the first outfit is a fun choice and really pops!
ReplyDeleteLindas carteras son muy elegantes , Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteEvery single outfit is so nice on you, Mica! And I like your choice of handbags too. The orange one is so pretty! Hope you are having a fab weekend xx

Oh I really love these shorts!! I think they look much more amazing on you than they would on me, but I simply have to buy a pair like this...they look so comfy!😊😊
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!

What cute short outfits!
ReplyDeleteI love the look sweetie, so nice!
ReplyDeleteDanielle | thereluctantblogger.co.uk
It's nice when it's still warm enough in Autumn to wear shorts. Both of these outfits are a cool combination of style and comfort.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is amazing ��
ReplyDeleteI love the pop of orange in the second look, great bags!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a great weekend! I heard the news about Sidney, you're in lockdown!

Yes I hope Sydney's lockdown is not extended - 2 weeks is a long lockdown! We have the odd 3 day lockdown here because we aren't all vaccinated so if someone brings the virus form overseas it can spread, but thankfully we are doing much better than Sydney. They had 24 cases yesterday! So scary!
DeleteI love this Rebecca
ReplyDeleteKisses ♥
I always find it hard to let go of my Summer clothes, so I totally understand why you are still wearing shorts this time of year, even if it wasn't always the right weather for it. Mind you, I'd freeze to death if I wore shorts at the start of Winter. Brr! But anyway, my favourite outfit is definitely the more colourful first one. Pink and purple are such a gorgeous combo! Enjoy your weekend Mica xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are such cute summer outfits! I love the shorts you are wearing in the first look. I need a Rebecca Minkoff bag! I hope you are having a good weekend so far :)

Love both of these casual looks! So sad that you have to put away the shorts but I look forward to your more cozy outfits.

I really like the first styling - it's so holiday style. And the color of the first bag also fits my style better.
ReplyDeleteThat first outfit is SO pretty! I love the combination of colour and print...and of course that super chic purse. You look amazing! I love how you layer different pieces to make sure you are always well dressed for the season <3

Those dark blue shorts are cute! Sending some warm Florida vibes your way! Though Winter sounds really nice right about now.
