What I wore:
Necklace: Lovisa wooden statement bead necklace
Dress: Asos grey skater dress
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bracelets: the usual plus Cora purpleheart and mother of pearl watch c/o JORD
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc
Why I wore it:
I loved this combination! It's not the first time I've tried to make this casual skater dress a little more formal by adding a blazer, but I think this is my favourite resulting outfit! The orange really pops against the neutral grey. I let the blazer be the star of the outfit by sticking with a statement but still neutral necklace, and comfortable sneakers, because the office is still pretty casual with not everyone back full time there yet. It's still optional for us to attend the office on days that make sense, and this was a much needed office day with me having picked work from home days so often lately.I really liked the little Chloe Paddington bag with this too, I'm finding this neutral cream goes with everything so I keep reaching for it over and over! The gold hardware and padlock complimented the gold in the necklace nicely too.

Chloe Mini Paddington Reveal:
What I wore:
Necklace: Starfish Project Hannah turquoise bead necklace
Dress: Kmart short sleeve tiered jersey midi dress in amber
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus Polka Luka resin bangles in orange, red and teal
Bag: Chloe small Paddington in 2006 blanc
Why I wore it:
Again with the mini Chloe Paddington! To be honest I didn't really need a bag for this day - I had a big green Woolies reusable tote bag with me that had the picnic blanket and some props for our Christmas photoshoot, along with all our water bottles and some snacks. The Paddington bag ended up in there most of the morning! I'd just been running late and it was easier to grab this already packed bag I'd worn the day before than try think of what I needed to take out of it to put in the photoshoot tote.We try get our Christmas photos early each year so I have time to pick my fave and get it printed into a Christmas card, but the weather felt Christmas-y enough. It was a very humid and summery 35 degrees (Celsius) despite being spring! I did try and curl my hair but as you can see that was a bit of a waste of time with the humidity!
I liked this orange tiered midi dress in the heat - nice and lose and flowy! Since orange isn't really a Christmas colour I went with the green necklace and the green and red bracelets. I'm pleased the combination worked, I feel I should try orange and green more often! How perfect is this orange resin bracelet too? It matches the dress so nicely. There were only a handful of photos where you could see my bracelets, but I was happy knowing they were there, ha! I did think of wearing my gold Christmas bauble earrings but thought I'd keep it simple and went with these gold heart earrings that worked better with the green necklace and complimented the gold sandals and gold hardware on the bag nicely.
Was really pleased by how our photos turned out, but of course as usual I won't share them as I don't share the kids faces online.
Last worn: heart earrings, orange tiered midi dress, green statement necklace, resin bracelets, rose gold sandals, Chloe mini Paddington bag (above).
Other ways to wear: orange tiered midi dress worn 2 ways, rose gold sandals and maxi skirt, Chloe mini Paddington bag and jeans.
How You can Wear It:
Orange is a fun bold colour to wear and perfect for spring- in any shade! You can keep it simple and pair it with other neutrals like in the first outfit, or try a bold colour combination with green like I have in the second outfit!

Nice look
ReplyDeleteI love the orange jacket. Beautiful colour.

I love both these dresses, Mica! Orange is such an awesome colour:) I like the colour combos you did on both outfits as well. That's a great idea to put a blazer on to make the skater dress more formal, and that Paddington bag is such a great accessory for sure.
ReplyDeletePS YAY for having your Christmas photo done already!
I always do the Christmas photo early so I have time to organise it for the Christmas cards, haha! And yes, orange is such a fun colour to wear!
DeleteYou wear orange so well! Both of these outfits are darling! The first outfit is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteJill - Doused in Pink
orange looks fantastic on you! This is such a great color on you! both jacket and a dress look fab. Super cute bag too, I love the color, great for summer
ReplyDeleteorange is one of my favorite colors to wear in the fall and it wasn't always the case, you look lovely and stylish in your outfits.
ReplyDeleteI really do love the blazer with the skater dress! I don't think I have paired those colors together but it is a perfect combo! Glad your family pics turned out well.
ReplyDeletewww.chezmireillefashiontravelmom.com
Grey goes so well with so many brights!
DeleteLove the way you worked the unusual combination of orange and grey, and the way you styled the orange tiered dress with festive accessories! The family photo holiday card is a great idea, especially with growing children. I bet you all had fun shooting it! Have a good week and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes it's nice to have that annual photo each year! :) And I really need to try orange and grey more often!
Deletethis grey skater dress looks great :)
ReplyDeleteThat orange dress is gorgeous, I love tiered dresses! I never liked orange that much but for the past few seasons it is starting to grow on me!
ReplyDeleteYes I suddenly have so much of it in my wardrobe, can't believe I never used to have much of it before!
Delete¡¡Hola Mica!! Me ha encantado tanto tu vestido como tu chaqueta color naranja. Yo me lo pondría todo junto, me gusta el total look. Lo encuentro atrevido pero favorecedor. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteI loved your outfit and your handbag.

I really love that orange dress. The color is gorgeous and the style of the dress looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI love a pop of orange, and indeed that orange blazer does brighten up your grey skater dress a treat. A lovely outfit which is both casual and dressed up. Your Christmas photo dress is absolutely delightful and I'm loving the turquoise necklace with it! I hope your week is going well Mica! xxx
ReplyDeleteYes I've had mixed results trying green and orange since but I really loved that necklace with that dress! :)
DeleteYou are looking gorgeous.Orange color is the perfect with this bag. Love the whole look.

Wow! I love both of these looks. Different shades of orange look SO good on you. I seriously cannot get over how stunning that skater dress pairs with that orange blazer. Wow. It is absolute perfection. So glad you were able to get your Christmas photos done as well :D
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
yes this blazer makes me want more bright blazers - it's such a fun topper with a neutral dress!
DeleteOrange is the happiest color, isn't it? I really like the long orange dress with the green beaded necklace. It looks a bit Bohemian to me, which I love. It will be nice for the Christmas family photo. The little purse is cute also and would go with many outfits.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are getting into the Christmas spirit already. It's the most wonderful time of year. : )

It definitely is the most wonderful time of year! And I love how happy orange is too :)
DeleteMica, orange is certainly your color. It flatters you so well and your looks are fresh and fabulous.

I love both outfits, but the grey and orange one is my favorite! You're right that the orange really pops against the grey. I need to try wearing the two colors together :)

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely rest of your week, friend!
Lovely outfits. The 2nd one suits me better.

I love the orange blazer - that's so funny, we were on the same wavelength yesterday! I do encourage you to mix it with more colours - as you saw from your successful accessorizing with your orange dress! Your hair looks lovely curled like that, and I completely respect that you're keeping your kids' faces off the internet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila! I will need to get some tips from seeing how you wear orange, haha! I'm enjoying wearing it, such a cheerful colour!
DeleteOrange is a great color on you Mica! I really like the dressed up yet casual chic vibe of the first look. A blazer is such an easy and fantastic way to elevate an outfit and make it appear more polished.
ReplyDeleteI love the pops of color. Orange is perfect for this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteYes, that orange blazer really pops against the grey dress. That's a winning combo for sure. You look great in this.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I also really like your outfit with the orange maxi dress. I remember that you have this dress in pink too (because I illustrated it a while back). Fantastic orange outfits both of them.
Yes, it's the dress I love so much I bought it twice, haha! I've seen they have it out again this year in blue too and I really wanted it but luckily it sold out before I could snap it up!
DeleteI havent tried orange outfit in the autumn/winter before but these look great. I loved orange Jacket and bag combination. They fit you very well. Thanks for the review,
ReplyDeleteOrange is a color I don't really have in my closet, I always shy away from it. But, it looks radiant on you! I love that blazer and how neat that it is a jersey material. Goes great with the gray! That orange dress is a beauty on you!

I have an orange blazer like this but I never know how to wear it, I have a blouse that has small orange flowers on and always feel thats the only item i have to wear with it but i'll have to try it with a more neutral dress like this it looks lovely on you, especially with the jewellery! Beautiful :)
