Midi Dresses, Sneakers and White Jackets | Weekday Wear Link Up

For today's Weekday Wear Link Up, one printed and one plain Kmart midi dresses and white jackets outfits.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Cassandra jacquard jacket
Necklace: engraved interlinked silver circle family name necklace
Dress: Kmart teal floral print midi dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff metallic silver mini MAC

Why I wore it:

Back in the office again, on a slightly warmer winter day meaning I could go bare-legged. I've thought a few times about pairing this boucle jacket with this pretty teal floral midi dress. Stripes and florals look so good together and the silver and grey in the white jacket matches so well with the floral print on the dress. So glad I finally gave the combination a go, I loved this outfit! Stuck with comfortable sneakers, as being back in the office is still quite a casual affair and I didn't want to be overdressed.

With the silver metallic thread in the jacquard jacket the metallic silver mini MAC seemed like a good choice - and on a kid free office day I didn't need to carry a lot. It was nice getting into the office again and catching up with colleagues in person, seeing colleagues I saw a few weeks before, last time I was in the office and also some I hadn't seen since before lockdown last year. We all come in on different days with the hybrid ways of working meaning we primarily work from home, so it's always nice to see who will be in the office!

Other ways to wear: jacquard jacket and jeans, teal floral midi dress and ankle boots, Adidas Superstar sneakers and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff metallic mini MAC and maxi skirt.

Wardrobe Tour and Handbag Storage

What I wore:

Jacket: Cotton On girlfriend denim jacket in whitehaven
Necklace: Colette tortoise shell acrylic disc tassel necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey dress in Fuchsia
Shoes: New Balance Coast women's running shoe in black 
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Chloe small Ethel bag in light khaki

Why I wore it:

Rather dressed up for our third day in lockdown! I'd not expected the lockdown announcement on the weekend so our Monday was packed with quite a few things to do. With our busy list of activities and the warmer weather, I'd already had this outfit planned to wear. I figured I may as well wear it and enjoy the warmer winter weather before it went back to normal temps, even if everything we had planned was cancelled with lockdown

Didn't have much to do in the end - a little stroll through our neighbourhood for exercise and to get the kids out the house. The white denim jacket was a good cover up with this pink tiered midi dress. It looks good with the same dress in orange too! I did think of taking it off near the end of our walk though, it was a really hot day. Not helped by restrictions meaning I had to wear a mask at all times outside, even when it was just the kids and I on the trail. It was nice to wear this bright and cheerful dress to boost my mood, before remote learning and the work from home juggle started on Tuesday.

The Chloe Ethel bag was the easiest choice with this as it fit all three of our water bottles and some snacks in it for our short walk. It helped this feel even more like a proper outfit too, for me. Our lockdown has since been lifted as expected, it was a long one in Brisbane terms at 8 days, but I'm thankfully back to normal outfits and out of the lockdown loungewear I haven't been sharing on the blog!


Last worn: white denim jacket, Kmart pink tiered midi dress, tortoiseshell tassel necklace, New Balance sneakers, Chloe small Ethel bag.

Other ways to wear: white denim jacket in double denim, Kmart pink tiered midi dress and clutch, Chloe small Ethel bag and printed jeans.

How You Can Wear It:

A midi dress is so easy to dress up or down - perfect for a day in the office, or a casual stroll around the neighbourhood with the kids on a warmer day.
