Kmart Tiered Midi Dresses, Chloe Paraty Bag For Kids Birthday Parties

Easy weekend outfits for a fun weekend hosting birthday parties for my son! Kept it simple with my Kmart tiered midi dresses in bold colours, sneakers for all the running around, and my cute little periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag that works so well with both outfits despite the different colour schemes.

What I wore:

Earrings: Michael Hill stud earrings with aqua cubic zirconia in sterling silver

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Polka Luka Paradiso triple strand resin necklace transparent cobalt
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber 
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD, House of Harlow sunburst wrap bracelet in cobalt
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

My son had been asking if he could have a birthday party at this indoor play place for a while, so we decided to go for it. It meant two birthday parties - this day with his school friends running around playing and then another party the next day for family.

It was a very loud day but thankfully the play place provided us a party host, so when all the parents kept complimenting me on how well the day had gone and how smoothly everything had run I could just point to the wonderful staff who knew how to handle groups of overexcited screaming first graders much better than I!

With the bright amber dress there was no way the parents wouldn't be able to spot me as I moved around the play place, although I did add the white jacket to cover up my arms a little in case it was a cold day. The party area was upstairs and the play area downstairs so I'm glad I wore the Adidas Superstar sneakers as I had a lot of running up and down stairs during the day!

The blue necklace and wrap bracelet, although different shades from each other and the periwinkle blue Chloe Paraty bag, go so nicely with the amber midi dress. I liked how I could fit the camera in my Chloe Paraty too although I kept forgetting to take pics through the day - it just flew by so quickly! My son really enjoyed it.


Last worn: white denim jacket, earrings, blue Polka Luka resin necklace, amber Kmart tiered midi dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket and maxi skirt, amber Kmart tiered midi dress and black accessories, Adidas Superstar sneakers with double denim, Chloe periwinkle small Paraty bag and shorts.

Chloe Handbag Collection: Past and Present

What I wore:

Earrings: Piper gold heart earrings

Jacket: Jeanswest Peggie kimono cardigan in purple mulberry marle
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: Kmart sparkly silver glitter sneakers
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

After the hectic and extremely loud party the day before, this was much more relaxed. Instead of a room of loud first graders we invited some family around to celebrate at home. There was a small last minute panic when I realised I'd forgotten to get some fruit salad for the younger attendees and so a quick run to the shop was needed, but for the rest of the time it was a very laid back day.

I've worn a magenta pink dress with this purple cocoon cardigan for my son's birthday party in the past, I knew the purple cardigan would work with this pink dress too! I liked the silver necklace with it as well, even if the hardware on the Chloe Paraty bag is gold and I was wearing gold earrings. The necklace matched my fun glitter shoes well.

It was a lot warmer day than I anticipated - I ended up rolling up the sleeves of this cardigan for a bit and considering removing it entirely as we spent some time enjoying the sunshine and playing outside in the back garden.


Last worn: purple cocoon cardigan, heart earrings, circle necklace, fuchsia Kmart tiered midi dress, silver glitter sneakers, Chloe small Paraty bag (above).

Other ways to wear: purple cocoon cardigan and shorts, fuchsia Kmart tiered midi dress for dinner, silver glitter sneakers and shorts, Chloe small Paraty bag and blue sundress.

Perfect for pregnancy: purple cocoon cardigan in second trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

You can easily layer up a short sleeved midi dress for a cooler day with a light jacket or cardigan. You can stick with a neutral denim jacket like in the first outfit, or go more colourful and cosy like I have in the second outfit with the purple cardigan.
